Gardening without a house

[Endeleon]

The irony of that statement is that SE actually does work on the important things first, then they do housing. They've always done this in such a cycle so I don't know where you got the idea that this is what they do in priority, much less anyone here asking for it immediately.

Except they are. because the gardens that were mentioned were never mentioned as being pre-5.1 and were implied to be way later than that.

Please quote at least one post asking immediately for standalone gardening because clearly, you and I are reading things very differently.

There is like 5 items total that fits your description, and none of them are super expensive.

The new flying bed is wildly expensive if you were to buy all the mats outright. In the millions. It has mats that can only be gotten from cross-breed gardening.

The expensive mat for that recipe is a trial drop. The "cross breeding only" mat is a common drop from one of the new submersible zones, being farmed to death by people after other stuff.

Runescape had an interesting gardening idea.. There were plots scattered around it's world, and displayed each players' crops. I'm not sure if this game is capable or open-world instancing like that though. If it could, they could have maybe three different size farm plots in each housing area (or anywhere else), which any number of players could purchase and use.

I just noticed six raised garden beds in the Crystalline Mean area of the Crystarium.. This would be a good spot for public gardening beds. Any player could buy / rent up to 6 of them and grow anything he wants there. Throw in a few vendors to sell basic seeds and supplies, and we're ready to go.

Or even just the Thav Onions.

I just find it unrealistic to keep up with housing demands just for the sake of having a garden. Or if they insist on keeping them together...ay least let all fc houses regardless of size, be able to have 3 plots.

Aren't we getting Farms? Wonder if that will allow for gardening similar to what we do with housing?

The issue was adressed already and there probably will be a solution. But it came up when ShB was in the making and I wouldn't expect this to be adressed before Ishgard Housing. It is more likely this will be adressed with other housing inquiries when they are going to release the major housing patch.

For basic gardening you can always use the indoor plant pots. You can't do crossbreeding with it, which is annoying. But maybe you got a friend with a garden plot that can help you out? I know several people who own at least small houses and don't use their garden patches. When I was heavily in crossbreeding with Onions I used my medium plot as well as three small plots of friends who didn't bother with gardening themselves.

Not like any of you will even stick to it once you realize that it takes 7 real life days to grow freaking anything.

Guess if you stuck with it, you'd know this wasnt true.

Yeah. Crafting materials for housing items.

And Minions.

And Mounts.

And a lot of Chocobo related stuff.



Cloudsbreath got added to the loot tables in a bunch of the new sub zones though, hilariously enough making it the booby prize of sub ventures.


That said if anyone happens to have a FC with a house (any size, medium and above is best) on Coeurl you want to sell, I can always use more gardens and submarie slots.
