Mog Gardens Information

At least twice i got bout 5 meteorites in one mining session. which is really annoying to have to npc just to continue mining... Today i mined 10 times and only 4 attempts had no crystals. out of the other 6 only 2 had an item other than crystals. Kinda hate how many crystals we get in the garden.

I just walk outside and dump them into the waypoint if I don't need them. As for all the meteorites?

It's good to be an alchemist. I will never run out of glass fiber as long as I live. No more having to sit there fishing up masks any time I want to make minnows/sinking minnows, since each one is 3x fiber minimum (or just vendor the results for 450+ gil to the moogle). HQ the synth (note, not desynth)? Up to a stack of fiber off one chunk of rock.

If life gives you lemons, make lemonade etc etc.

This is FFXI, here we get Kitrons and make Kitron Macarons.

And in this case, I make a ton of Prism Powders and undercut the RMT alchemshits for the lulz. You see annoying rocks and crystals, I see 20K/stack with near zero turnover time.

It's fun planting different/rare things to see what they'll turn into :3

Also why can we still target Grove#1 and Vein#1? Both Veins and both Groves share deplete the number of chances you're eligible to harvest, so why would anyone choose to harvest from the #1's when they give inferior items?


Also some weird phenomena:

-After I plant something, when I feed a fertilizer, the graphic of the plant changes to it's next form. I'm not sure if this is intentional as a 'preview' but after I cancel the fertilizer prompt, the plant is shown in it's next form. For example, when I plant a Great Root, the initial graphic of my furrow is a tiny tree with little apples on it. When I trade a fertilizer it shows a white plumed medium sized tree but then when I cancel the prompt, the white tree graphic remains in my furrow until I zone.

-I just got Tree Praetor title and the KI that appeared at Zennica was Tales from the Tunnel which gave me Rank 5 Mineral Veins.

Oh, sure. Wasn't disagreeing with you, just making a dumb joke since Kirons are FFXI lemons. I need to stop being lazy and lvl alchemy to 70 so I don't have to npc meteorites.

Because some people might want the items in Grove/vein #1 for crafting and not just npcing.

The fertilizer thing is just a medium for refreshing the grove. Depending on how long the plant takes, if i you examine it, or zone in and out, you'll also see the next stage graphic.

I'm 70 alchemy and 100 on a mule and still npc any multiples... so much time zoning in and out just to synth once lol. Plus I got a good source of glass fiber anyways

[Trumpy]

I do the same with my crystals, what i meant is its annoying to not get results expected from what i'm harvesting (even if i am just NPCing them). I'd rather get ores and bone things from rocks than crystals, and when i end up with 3 non crystals and 15 crystals from 10 mining attempts it makes me go wut?

Can you not synth in the garden? I feel like i synthed there last night. Im at 61 or 62 alchemy (been for years) i guess I can look forward to this meteorite business soon, as I had no idea you could do this lol. I been trying to skillup makin venom potions which I have had no problems with any time i tried to make some previously, but the last couple days its fail fail fail. I was using all those scorpion claws (for venom powder) I was gettin from rocks, but now I am not gettin them.

"Also why can we still target Grove#1 and Vein#1? Both Veins and both Groves share deplete the number of chances you're eligible to harvest, so why would anyone choose to harvest from the #1's when they give inferior items?"

The #1s give different items? I just usually get on the #2 side and jsut spam harvest, I have never noticed this (Also i assumed since when i harvested and i was full inventory and i went to npc stuff and come back no matter what point i select i get the item i wasnt able to obtain. I just figured it was all the same). Does this mean i can get Scorpion Claws if i mine from point #1? Looks like we could use some of this info on the wiki, as it is still a pretty basic how to.

I don't know if it was changed last update but I wasn't able to synth awhile back when I tried. Or cast spells either.

You can definitely synth in there now. Heck, you can even use a Warp scroll.

[Hitou]

I donno about warp scroll but you can't cast any spells. You can craft and access anything you can in a Mog house including regular gardening via pots. They changed it a little while ago so you can use clusters and certain things like costumes. I guess for that screen shot contest? Can also use food if that was in question. So yeah, no reason to zone out of Mog Gardens till you're done with it unless you need to dbox something and soon not even that.

[Malithar]

As of note, you also can't use spell scrolls. Got an Earth Spirit Pact the other day and was unable to use it while in the Gardens.

Rank 5 Mineral Veins dishes out some pretty sw33t l00t. I'm getting Antlion Jaws(3k NPC), Khroma Ores, Orichalcum Ores, Adman Ores, Vanadium Ores, Thokcha Ores etc. Grove nets me some nice NPCable logs like Lacquer/Petrified and the new one(forgot its name) all NPC for 3-5k. The nets are pointless for non-fishers. Nothing worth NPCing. Maybe in future ranks we'll get some good shit like legendaries/liks etc.

[dasva]

You get some 600-700 gil fish. But no fish really npcs for as much as those ores do except the 4 prehistorics and matsya. Even the ebisu fish are like 1600 I think? Carp sells well on most servers though.

On another note might be coincidence but today I got lots of meotorites... like 5 on 1 character 4 on another <.<. Fireday if might be related

[Hitou]

Rank 5 net is pretty useful if you have cooking too since it gives Sole, Bream and Gigant squids.

Incidentally, getting an assistant early does seem to help here. I got rank 5 mining KI before I got rank 5 groves, with the mole-guy set to give me more results per attempt. I tend to get a ton of dragon talons/bones, seen HQ scorpion and HQ crab shells as well. Nets are worth the occasional pearl/black pearl off shall shells for a bonecrafter, low end cooking (bait recipes, basically), and the occasional bit of alchemy (mostly mercury off the cobalt jellies), and occasional bits of sushi cooking.

I obtained Forest Praetor title from the grove today, but not the accompanying title from the mineral vein, which I find somewhat odd since I haven't missed any usages of either. I suppose I'll get the mining one tomorrow.

[dasva]

Is it just me or do the fishing commands do the opposite of what you would expect? Like catch a whooper makes it so you have no small fish

I was in the same boat with my grove vs. my mineral veins. The veins leveled up first. The difference?

I had an assistant giving me added results (easier to excavate) on them. I hypothesize that it's a total number of harvested items that levels up a resource node rather than number of times gathered.
