Mog Gardens Information

[Gwynplaine]

FFXIclopedia just added rows for different crystal fertilizers. Did we already know you could fertilize furrow plants with crystals?

lol you can't.

[NynJa]

lol you can't.

Try it again, its possible SE ninja altered it.

[dasva]

I could see that... hey lets let you plant roots and bulbs this update... crystals are roots right? Now they are clearly fertlizers!!!

[Tambor]

Just checked, looks like you can indeed fertilize with crystals

[Gwynplaine]

I'm certain you couldn't pre-update so must have been one of those non-communicated update notes

[Rentwokay]

Dark Crystal fertilizer gave me a Faded Crystal and a Dark Cluster. Light Crystal gave me a Faded Crystal as well, and I imagine Light Cluster is one of the possible results as well.

Dumb question but what's the use of the NPCs helpers and how do you unlock them, other than with mog stars? Never saw specific KIs from the NPC chick in Western Adoulin

iSuck.
Just noticed the BGWiki page has been updated, haven't checked there in ages.
I guess that answered all my doubts, but I would still like to inquire some personal opinions on assistants.

Pros? Cons? Annoyance of keeping them under contract?
Mog Garden seems more like an annoying (altough very small) daily loss of time with annoying inventory space issues and repeated annoying npc/sell processes.
If anything I've been hoping to get cool stuff from floatsam but that's not going to happen.
Don't really know if I want to keep doing this boring stuff every day, trying to make up my mind by reading others' opinions.

It remains to be seen what rank 4 and 5 will unlock since its' the last stupid option for upgrade at pioneers coalition. For now it's just a way to get cheep cooking ingredients, random ores/logs/thread mats etc. Makes up our daily does of that crap we used to get in VW but no longer do due to it's decline I guess? It takes all of 3 min to check everyday so it's not like it's a huge commitment. But yeah hoping for slightly better items from rank 4 and 5.

[dasva]

Having them around can definitely get you to mine/harvest and get more and better out of your garden... the fishing spots seem more like focalization then more or quality though so I don't bother

[Funkworkz]

I need ideas on how we can display results for different fertilizers/ranks on bgwiki. If anyone has ideas please let me know. Its probably best to have a table for each rank. Also would help if anyone can compile data from this thread into a google docs or excel sheet for me.

[dasva]

So feeding crystals can also yeild the colored rocks and fewell associated with those crystals

[Rentwokay]

I was also able to get clusters and Faded Crystals.

From a data tracking perspective, it'd be nice if all fertilizer worked like that, in that it just added the same possible items to the results pool, and the pairing was irrelevant.

[SephYuyX]

Still unable to expand garden passed lvl3.
Nothing I can really do about it aside from harvesting everyday, and hope people pick bay expansion?

[Toshiko]

Can't target my Coastal net, I've zoned like 20 times, logged out and back in, etc. Is this a known issue? Its not that big a deal but still annoying considering it's how you get the titles. And also my free gil from npcing the fish...!!!

[Darkmagi]

I have had major issues targeting npc objects since this last update. I can only target some auction counters and certain waypoints will not be targetable.

[dasva]

So for those that were able to get clusters what seeds you use?

[Hirronimus]

Fire Crystal yielded Fire Cluster. Furthermore, I've noticed Wildgrass Seeds (w/o fertilizer) yield chocobo feed (carrots, greens, etc)

P.S. I'm done with this Farmville knock off. I'll be checking Flotsam only from now on. I'm busy.

I also had this issue, as well as with logging and mining points #2.

I was asking seed not fertlizer. I've done about 15 harvests now with crystal fertlizers and not a single cluster just lots of singles so either it's super duper rare, I have super duper bad luck, or what you plant matters as well hence why I asked what planted
