La Noscean Topsoil

[Jojoya]

Since gathered/gardened items can no longer be HQ, the La Noscean Topsoils have no useful quality for gardening and are essentially the same as potting soil.

I would like to suggest that they be given a new quality of reducing grow time by 5%/10%/20%. Thanalan and Shroud will still be the preferred topsoils to use most of the time but the La Noscean would have a purpose again and would be a small benefit to those growing items that cannot have yield increased and are not trying to intercross (or cannot in the case of those limited to flowerpots in apartments due to lack of available plots).

The things you never thought about, end up being the most interesting corner cases.

I actually had been just thinking about this today! I went to check through some retainer stuff and saw it, and was like 'wait a sec that doesn't even HAPPEN anymore?!' Here's hoping it's addressed with the big chunk of housing things in Dawntrail I'd suppose?? I'd consider putting in a bug report if not for the fact that it's presumably working as intended! The chance is just zero, anything times zero is zero lol

"Increases the likelihood that plants will yield higher quality crops"

It doubles the chances of HQ yields, seems to be working fine

Errr… plants no longer produce HQ crops so it’s useless now. Doubling zero chances is still zero chances.

Doesn’t fishmeal do something like that already (1 hour less per use)?

Yes, fishmeal will reduce grow time by an hour per application but also seems to have an upper limit (or at least during past tests, not sure about currently). This would be an additional reduction to help that doesn't require the repetitive fertilization.

I'm thinking of it mainly in terms of being something beneficial to those limited to flowerpots that aren't growing things for yield. While it could also benefit those using the garden patches, most serious gardeners will be using those for intercross and sticking to the Thanalan topsoils.
