Make garden plots available on islands.

[Acesfool]

Since the vast majority of us will never get a house, even with the new wards, you should allow garden plots to be placed on our islands so we can grow our own Thavnarian onions and other things.

Islands aren't designed to replace housing.

I'm well aware of that. But since my chances of getting a house and slim and none, and slim already has one foot on the bus, I'd like a place to use garden plots.

I'm pretty sure that was 90% of the reason players were asking for "farms" prior to the announcement of Island Sanctuary in the first place, but that reasoning either didn't get through to the devs or got lost along the way.

We know they're working on giving us the ability to place outdoor furnishings on the island but we don't know if that includes the garden patches and their function. We'll have to wait and see.

But I'll be highly amused if happens and they're fully functional so players start complaining that mammets should also be allowed to tend the garden patches in addition to the croplands.

Or they didn't care because they wanted Island Sanctuary to be something different for the game.

You know why they are "expensive"? Its not because they arent enough plots to produce them. Its because its f****** annoying to raise and crossbreed them. One day you arent log in and groom them and 2 weeks progress is wasted. Thats why nobody bothers beside enthusiasts to grow more to reduce the prices.

People who wants gardening plots simply have no idea how lackluster the gardening feature is. It begins from the crossbreeding till the most annoying menue you will ever see in FF14. They should ask a friend to be a tenant or in the FC to take care for the patches for 1 month. Believe me most players will neglect it after one week.

Truest words. I know a number of people here have the same view too.

I wish they were expensive, for the amount of work and annoyance in them. They are selling for about 60,000 each for the 2 weeks being tied to the game. No days off from watering, ever.

4,200g per day income and then RNG behind that too.

It's a shocking way to make gil.

But I'll be highly amused if happens and they're fully functional so players start complaining that mammets should also be allowed to tend the garden patches in addition to the croplands.

OMG, You are so right.

That and "I didn't tend my crops for a week and they all withered. Why won't the rain water the onions?"

I was among those hoping for 'farms' prior to the announcement of Island Sanctuary and I am still hoping that devs will consider it.
About a year ago I had to take a break from the game for work but I was lucky enough to have a house. I was used to log in daily just to tend to my garden.
For a year.
Daily.
So yes, some of us are weird and love to water virtual plants in a game.

Last summer I had to move to another server to join some friends soooooo.... goodbye house.
I am trying to get a new one but Lottery Gods are mean.

What I miss the most as house tenant?
Well, gardening of course.
No, I don't want to burden my friends with tending permissions.

Something like the Apartment System where instead of a room you can rent a garden patch would do greatly.
Or the chance to turn an apartment into a roof garden where you can place your patches, just like the actual houses: different sizes, different prices.

I had a small house next to someone with a medium FC house and they let me use their patches and we split the money. I had to join their FC to use their patches and it turned out they only had two members. I agree we didn't make HUGE money from it, but it was steady. The biggest thing that I saw hurt the pricing was the idiots who would put up 10 onions at a time and way undercut everyone. Anyway, one day I log on to find the FC house is gone along with the other two members. No idea what happened. I tried to keep it going with my single patch but that really was too slow. I ended up moving to another server and have been trying for a couple of months to get a medium house. The FC I'm in now has a small house and they're letting me use their patch to get a surplus of the seeds I'll need if by some miracle I get a house of my own.

So you have access to a plot for seeds, and can grow the seeds to plants in your apartment? Yes?
