FFXIV Gardening

[Katlan]

Since somebody else got onion prince, I'm gonna assume that the new mandies are a random chance from any combo consisting of the new seeds/krakka AND something else. Everyone has gotten it from a plant next to a krakka.

So maybe there are just a ton of different ways to get them, or they are in fact random

Edit: nvm I looked at Eld's post again and he got one from a none krakka blend. So going w/random

[Eldelphia]

I have to admit I did think the same but yeah it's random so far

[saviorshadow]

I have an idea of what some cross-breeds might be based on the item type and assuming they use Krakaa root as the first batch of cross-breeding based on the look and description found at xivdb (probably lodestone as well now that I think about it)

Phasana fruit - Krakaa root? + dzmael tomato?

Mimett Gourd - Krakaa root? + ?

Tantalplant - Krakaa root? + wizard eggplant

Sylkis Bud - Krakaa root? + Midland Cabbage? (dunno about this one)

Curiel Root - Krakaa root? + Coerthas Carrot Seeds

edit -

This is the method I'm using to find the potential cross-breeds, though there will be 3 types, we can probably figure out the cross-breed either through logic or simply just trying it out.

Krakaa root - Wizard Eggplant - Krakaa root

Coerthas Carrot - X - Wild Onion

Krakaa root - Midland Cabbage - Krakaa root

I honestly think Dzemael Tomato won't work but doesn't hurt to just try it out just in case it happens to work out. Once I harvest, I'll let you guys know of the results.

I forgot to update for you guys, but the combination used yielded no minion.

[Katlan]

there are some minion combo's on the reddit spreadsheet. I'm trying some of them out so can report back in a few days. Im still in the random camp, but a lot of their combo's make sense. Like

king tomato = DZ tomato and mandrake.
Eggplant knight = wizard eggplant and mandrake
Garlic Knight = garlic clove and mandrake

I'm still in the random camp, but will see

We got two Onion prince seeds from Krakka + Mandrake.

Either it's a bit less random than we thought or we're just lucky.

Either it's a bit less random than we thought or we're just lucky.

4 seeds now from the same combo. Gonna go with probably not random.

Also do pets single yield?

[Eldelphia]

I'm growing krakka and mandrake too and they should be ready soon. Haven't got space to grow the minions yet but I'd assume one only

[Eldelphia]

Anyone grown pineapple/lemons recently? Wondering if tomato king might come from them as he's not a vegetable

[saviorshadow]

I'm assuming the pets are singular yields since they are listed as ilvl70 on xivdb. The pets aren't as random as we think they are, I just think krakaa roots has various potential seed drops since people confirmed it is possible to get two different type of seeds from the same crossbreed plant.

[Sigmakan]

Got an Eggplant Knight from a Mandrake that was next to a Mimmet Gourd and Sylkis Bud
Got a King Tomato from a Blood Currant that was next to a Sylks Bud and Onion Prince

[Miki]

My Eggplant Knight gave a Pearl Roselle seed off it's intercross. Krakka Root on both sides of it when planted.

[Hiroishime]

Eggplant Knight from Krakka root next to Halone Gerbera and Onion prince.
King Tomato from Krakka root next to Halone Gerbera and Gyshal Green

[Sigmakan]

Thavnarian Onion seems to be Rare Seed (Halone, Lily, Kukuru, etc) + Choco Food (non Krakka)

I got one from Halone + Mimmet

[Katlan]

Garlic Jester
Mandrake - Garlic Clove (middle) - Mandrake
Garlic Clove (middle) V Garlic Clove (middle)
Mandrake - Garlic Clove (middle) - Mandrake

I got x3. My other harvest should be ready today so I will report that.

The stuff is not random, that is for sure. There just seems to be many ways to get the same result

[Madeline]

The only one I haven't found still is the Mandragora Queen. Someone posted one up on our server and not sure if Retainer or just keeping it to themselves.

If you look at the description for the Mandy Queen, it says something like: #married to the King Tomato, but is in love with the Eggplant Knight. Makes me think Mandy Queen is a cross-breed from King Tomato AND Eggplant knight. I am growing eggplant knight right now (already have King Tomato seeds) and I plan to test it out myself when the Eggplant knight is harvested in a few days

[saviorshadow]

The Mandy Queen combination was posted on the official forums as Nymeia Lily + Mandrakes.

I'm currently trying that combination in addition to growing the Garlic Jester. My garden currently looks like this.

Nymeia Lily - Mandrake - Nymeia Lily

Mandrake - X - Mandrake

Garlic - Mandrake - Garlic

edit -

Supposedly, the best route to get Thav Onions are Nymeia Lily + Sylkis Bud though that combination hasn't been confirmed yet. I will try this combination once my garden dedicated to getting Sylkis Bud seeds finishes later this week.

Q55: The vegetables for chocobo raising can only be obtained through gardening, but do you have any plans to make adjustments so that there are more ways to obtain them in the future?

A55: Currently we do not have any plans. We will make adjustments as we keep an eye on the balance between the value of gardening fields and chocobo raising difficulty.

Q54: The magicked stable brooms are too costly at the moment. Can you make it so that we are able to clean the stable with the "magic broom" minion?

A54: We sincerely apologize for the cost of the magicked stable broom as it was much higher than what we expected. We will be adjusting the recipe of the magicked stable broom so that they can be created at a cheaper cost. Additionally, we are considering selling them in NPC shops so that players do not sell them higher than that price.

Maybe if people had got off their asses and used their gardens before 2.3 they wouldn't be crying over easy to obtain materials. Then again with the amount of Gil I've made my FC off glazenuts I'm glad they were lazy.
