Balmung Server (maybe XIV) First: Rank 20 Chocobo?

[Yahavage]

My word lol. That's impressive, and you've had some support to get 10 onions! I still only have 6 bags of seeds lmao (got FC house soonish after the patch). Can't wait to get mine rank 20, but with Destiny and onion sharing with my FC gonna be a loooong time coming lol xD nice to see you got all the barding too ^^

Here are most of chocobo food combinations: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post2261769

It's also worth noting that specifically to the Thavnairian Onions, the cross chances are significantly lower even when using Grade 3 Than soil. There is still a bit of luck involved, sure....but I have been growing endless glazenuts for months now. My glazenut patches would always produce either 5,6 or 7 bunches of seeds from 8 plots. 6 was the norm. 5 was exceedingly rare, I think it may have happened once.

I'm on my 2nd plot of Thav Onions now. The first full patch had all 7 possible beds the ability to proc seeds for onions and I only got 2 onion seeds. (I use curiel roots/glazenuts) My 2nd full patch is half done. The curiel roots are finished but the glazenuts aren't. I harvested the 4 patches of curiel roots, of which only 3 of them were able to produce seeds, and I got 2 onion seeds. So I still have 4 chances for more, but I won't count on seeing more than 1 more seed unless I'm very lucky. Coupled with the longest growth time attributed to any plant in the game, these onions are worth what they are being sold for on the MB. These are very time-extensive.

For those that are wondering why i say "7 possible" when there is 8 beds in a patch, I have been gardening for about 5 months now and I have never seen the first plant produce a seed. I am positive that it isn't possible for the very first plant to produce a seed. And that is only when the plant rotation is done properly. If 8 beds are planted incorrectly its possible that more beds in a patch won't have the possibility for seeds either.

Good luck!

edit: Lol, sorry to detract from the OP. Congrats on your rank 20 chocobo! Very impressive!!

The cross is determined when you plant the seed. Therefore your first plant never has a nearby plant to cross with so it never produces a seed. The only way around this is to plant all 8 then remove your first plant and replant it. A bit of a waste tbh.

Are you sure you're from Balmung? I thought we were the relaxed, friendly RP server with players from all walks of life.

First off that's a bit of a stereotype.

Second, maybe text isn't always best method to convey mood but I'm most certainly relaxed and hardly anything that would considered be agitated or upset. Last I checked having a conversation and voicing my inability to understand someones mind set was hardly an attack, or unrelaxed, or any other such words with negative connotations. Are you sure you aren't coloring me in prejudices? You're already using stereotypes so it makes me wonder. I'm not some mean person simply because I'm having a conversation where we disagree on something.

I never berated anyone, railed on them, tore them down, or anything of the sort for not reading the patch notes. People like DenariusJay would have you thinking otherwise with comments such as.

Tiggy the patch Nazi. Always gotta be one...

TLDR. Just because you disagree doesn't automatically mean that person was aggressive against you.

Yea intercrossing is decided upon planting, and since plant 1 is planted next to nothing else, it can't cross breed. But its worth noting if you start with the cheapest plant and have extra, when you plant all 8, you can uproot plant 1, and plant another seed there, giving you all 8 chances again.

[DapvhirRysdan]

From all of us on Balmung, good job. Though this is more to do with breeding then raising. I delicate this pic to you.

Nothing coming up there sadly xD

[Raxion]

Hurrah. If your Chocobo companions actually did something, this would be really impressive. Maybe someday they'll let us duo dungeons with our feathered friends.

Ok first off allow me to point out my lack of stereotype lol
Secondly your replies scream defensive and agitated.

I was trying to be lighthearted. You failing to grasp the concept of real life trumping a player's need/requirement to read patch notes is beyond laughable. You obviously see patch notes as something beneficial to you and I and many other players like myself see patch notes as a nice added bonus; there if we choose to read them yet to my delight the game is completely playable without me reading them. Yay! Now that's not to say that I don't read them...because I've been known to do that on occasion but again as I stated they simply aren't mandatory and your stance would suggest your lack of comprehension to wanting to enjoy a game as a damn game and not be forced to research translated cliff notes before logging in.

TLDR

Have a great day and remember everyone can choose to play how they see fit, and whether or not they wish to use additional FFXIV ARR resources without prejudice (love the overuse of the word lol)



Oooh and to jump back onto the original purpose of this thread... GRATS on your Choco success!
I'm completely /jealous but happy to now know that my silly Regal Purple bird still has the chance to wear tank armor!

Nothing worth reading past that point. It's clear to me you don't understand the basic definition of the words you use. Whatever floats your boat buddy.

Nice one! *looks sadly at his still rank 6 Kukuwe* One day... one day.

Omfg you are truly something else aren't ya.

A generalization made about players from Balmung excluding your crusty bum. It was made in jest to suggest you lighten the heck up. Who the he|| peed in your Cheerios today?!

Here are some facts for you to look up while waiting for your next batch of patch notes lol so you can see it wasn't a damn stereotype at all
-- Balmung the unofficial official RP server
-- FFXIV ARR player base is wide and varying as people from all walks of life can enjoy this game in A) many countries B) different languages and as seen here on the forums C) various political D) ethical E) financial F) religious opinions and beliefs.

Yep I'm gonna say that people who play FFXIV ARR are generally friendly and don't behave like you.

As I originally pointed out many players are avid readers of patch notes, some haven't read any and then there are those who read if they have the time or desire to.

BUDDY you are way too freaking defensive and too easy to troll. Maybe you should spend less time so aggressively pouncing on the forums defending your choice of vocabulary and freakish need to sigh on Mumble/Vent when asked about game related info people don't know about due to their lack of reading your beloved patch notes.
