Getting saplings back from cuttings is rare but yeah getting saplings back from saplings is easy peasy

Yep. Just for laughs, had it set for seeds and Grow-M-Good'd a sapling. Got two out of it, so net gain.

The other one's set for "Grow me something good", got a diamond out of the results as well.

With saplings I seem to have a chance for any of the HQ3 gems or elemental ores. So far I've only done garden worm and no fertlizer. Garden worm didn't seem to add any drops (I'm doing look for seeds and get alot of crops) but did seem to focus the more of the drops towards gems/ore. So ends up being a little better it seems to not use fertlizer.

Notable from the 10/7 update:

"Additional items may now be used as seeds."

If there's something you tried before that you thought might work, well...

Edit note: They also cut the rate of crystals popping from veins/groves/dredger/net, meaning more non-crystals in their place. Yay!

[dasva]

Some bulbs and roots didn't work before. I'm actually saddened by the less crystals. At least in the fishing areas

[Switchorz]

I seem to be getting plenty of crystals like before. Can't say I've seen a cluster but I was getting those on occasion anyways.

I started using mincemeat chum/sea and baitball/pond daily not too long ago. I bought about six each to avoid buying daily. Normally helper/item was giving 16 items from both. Seems if you have a stack, anything past the first one doesn't seem to work and goes back to the normal 10 items. I baited each day and after the first day it was only ten. I ran out and went to go buy one of each, came back and used both. It went back up to 16 items. I guess I'll have to buy one of each everyday.

I noticed the post on official forums about being slow to get rank5 Furrow.
As a matter of fact it took me eons to get Rank4 and of course it's taking me ages to get 5 as well.

I wonder how did people manage to get rank5 a couple of days after the previous patch then? o.O

[Khiinroye]

I was doing mostly grain / herb seeds (6 / 8 hour harvest time), so I had 3 or 4 harvests per furrow per day, and had rank 5 available as soon as the proper coalition expansion happened. People doing harvests that take 40 hours each rank up much slower.

[Kurstone]

revival roots take 1hr which you can spam forevar

[Sechs]

6/8hrs wouldn't really make a big change for me. I don't play 24/7, doubt I'd have time to check my furrow more than once a day.
1hr with Revival Tree Roots though are a different story... thanks for the tip!

[dasva]

Also seems to be based on number of items received so set your guys to harvest a lot and use fertilizer

This, actually. All the other resource nodes level up based on number of items recieved, which is why my mineral veins ranked up before my grove- I had the Meeble upping my items gain on the veins. Anything that increases overall yield increases the development rate on your Mog Garden, in any part of it whatsoever.

Revival Tree Roots are aces for that, or Arboresecent Seeds. A couple go-arounds set to "look for seeds" will give you plenty to cycle through on other options, should you desire.

[Sechs]

The 3 helpers seemed like a very convoluted thing to unlock, set and mantain, so I never bothered to get any of them.
Do they really make such a difference?
I've noticed the last week I didn't even bother to check Vein/Grove/Nets but I only entered the Garden to harvest stuff (to level up my furrow) and from the shiny thing on the beach.
After a month or whatever it's been it kinda started to get dull and boring spending so much time spaming boring click and npcing like 98% of the stuff I get because it has no value >.>

[Tarage]

I may have missed this but with the helpers do you have to tell them every day to do what you told them to do the day before? Or do they remember what they were doing?

They remember what they're doing. Mostly just set and forget if you can't be bothered to switch them round every day.

Okay good. I don't care about anything but my mining results so...

[Ophannus]

I've been spamming Revival Roots, two roots each, 4-5x a day for the past 3 weeks and still no rank 5. I'm using the helper NPCs to up the yield though this isn't assured(average 3-4 items per yield). Does rank progress cap or will it store progress? My vein/grove/nets are at rank 5 but I still harvest them, when the KIs come out, will I be able to buy the rank 6/7 KIs instantly or will I only be able to buy the next rank available(6)?

[dasva]

I'd maybe do something with higher yeild between days seemed to help. As far as storage based on previous it seems more like it builds up once they add it to the game. Which means you will usually have enough to get to next level by the time the coalitions rank up maybe the one after but hard to say since it is rather hard to test something like htat

[jimbobsonofgod]

When this last update came out, and this server finally got access to the KIs. I was able to buy both 4+5 at the same time for everything but furrow.

[Ophannus]

Also is it normal for titles to not be synchronized with progress? I get Calamareeler after mining and Agrarian Initiate after using the pond.

[jimbobsonofgod]

yes its normal.
