Tree SAPLING resultsFollow

I wonder what you get when you use a dark crystal?
also, i had read somewhere before that you could grow gold beastcoins by using the same recipe as platinum only in a brass pot, can anyone confirm this?

Thanks alot for posting that noxxx. I have yet to grow a sappling. Mabey ill try this recipe to get me some cheap cinnamon.

I just planted two Cactus Stems last night! :) Finally did the quest for the 4 bags and boy was I near tears at that last cutscene... *sniff*

Depends what level they are because it requires going logging in Yuhtunga Jungle. I ran around on my chicken like a chicken without a head for almost 15 minutes before I found a logging spot to get the Fallen Star.

So, I planted my saplings about a week ago (maybe a day or two more) and still haven't been prompted to fertilize them.. Anyone else had this experience? I've been checking them daily, and am positive that I haven't missed an opportunity yet (as it doesn't say Crystal Used: None)

umm the elemental ore is BCNM60 drops. used to make elemental beads, then into the elemental staffs

How do you get saplings out of tree cuttings and can you get other seeds from other plants too?

I remember reading a post some time ago that said you could get seeds of plants if you dry them...

Aside from the cinnamon sticks, does anyone else have Tree Sapling recipies? I'm growing some now and i'm wondering if i should try to use it or just AH it.

Elemental ore comes from 3 sources: bcnm60, choco digging, and gardening. The gardening part was recently introduced, though, and that's why the price of ore has dropped so much on many servers. On my server there's one guy that bought 14 STACKS (at 250k/piece) of saplings. I was able to feed my saplings a second time friday night...so sometime this week I should know!

pharadox is right, the result wud be element ore. Check the AH to see how sells those ores and see also who buys tree sapling and you should figure that pharadox is right

If you want to get a successful ELEMENTAL ore yield, it's best to plant in a porcelain pot. When you plant/harvest(attribute of day) doesn't matter, just make sure you feed it with crystals opposite to the day's attribute. Overnutrition will ruin the plant.

Cheers

Well, I harvested all 4 saplings. They were set up like this:

Porcelain pot + Tree sapling, all planted at the same time. My plan was to gear 2 towards Ice Ore and 2 towards Dark Ore. Thus, when it came time to feed them, I fed them their respective crystals (Dark + Dark, Ice + Ice) when they were read to be fed (not necessarily on iceday or darksday, in fact it wasn't on those days). All 4 were harvested on the day of the ore I was trying to get. Results were...

Terrible. Dark plants gave me 17rock salt and 4persikos; Ice plants gave me 2 wind clusters each. 100k down the drain =(

edit: total time taken was roughly 20 days from planting to harvesting.

Hojoo can you explain me what will make the difference between having a ice ore or a wind ore (ice and wind use only as example) using your theory.


Thanks!

Well after weeeks of waiting for my saplings to sprout i got alot of crap - basicaly lost LOTS of gil 8.[...

all 10 in procelain pots
all planted on light day 90%full moon
1-fire + fire (fire day)= 32 cinnamon
2-nothing + fire (fire day)= 36 cinnamon
3-light + light = 12 rock salt
4-nothing + light (light day) = 4 light crystals ><
5-light + light = 14 gold leaves
6-dark + dark = 3 cuttings !!!!! <=== @_@ (wtf)
7-nothing + nothing = 12 gold leaves
8-ice + ice(ice day) = 4 plat leaves
9-wind + light = crappy feathers ><
10- lighting (lightng day) + nothing = 14 silver leaves

if these leaves EVER sell i might have only ~100-50k loss
/cry
i am going back to normal plants - i cant afford to spend 300k and 2 months for an or that is now at 500k but will soon drop to 300k - and STILL not have much of a chance at getting one - from what i have read you have about a 1 in 15 chance of getting an ore no matter how perfect you plant - and if you pland crappy (wind+light good example) you get no chance.

(ps - the planting nothing on specific times was a planned and known strategy)

My garden seems to defy the information out there. I did NOT use a Porcelain Pot, I did NOT feed the opposite element, and my Ice/Ice in Ceramic Pot tree sapling gave me a nice $$chunk of ice ore$$ when I harvested it yesterday. ^^

how much do tree saplings go for on AH?

a couple days ago i fed my Light/Light tree sapling its 2nd crystal, also have one i intend to take Dark/Dark and one i just planted. I've been having extremely good luck growing cuttings into sapplings in a brass pot (100% so far)

my 3rd tree i will probably go water/water or earth/earth, any suggestions on what day i should feed the crystals on?

Tree sapling price is down to 10k on my server, Odin. I guess most ppl couldnt cut it

Isn't the furniture in the Mog House also supposed to influence elemental status? Won't that affect what is harvested?

Yikes, why not sell them at the AH?

they sell for 15k a stack at the AH on my server, or 1k each, if anybody buys them, which they usually don't.



you sure you don't mean leaves? Tree saplings seem to grow leaves not nuggets. Or maybe you're talking about cuttings.

Well here i am finding myself in the limbo known as ... wiat for it ... server maintenence ><. Well anyway about 3 days ago i got really ambitious lol listen to this i have 20 brass flower pots growing cuttings (planted on iceday, yes i have a mule :P) gonna feed them none/none. hopefully get 20 tree saplings to grow. i am gonna plant on darks day feed dark/dark on darks day and harvest on darksday. So if i get any ores i will share my results when it happens but that is a long way down the pipeline. If i get one or more dark ore i will be able to post a percentage yeild. anyway i have nothing else better to do i farmed all my cuttings growing all my own saplings farming all my own dark crystals. so if this tanks its nothing big my only loss will be 20k in flower pots that i can sell at AH for a profit actually so oh well. i will keep you poseted on how many saplings i get from 20 cutting and what those saplings turn out to be.. or maybe i will do 10 light/light saplings and 10 dark/dark saplings tell me what you think guys :P

:D naw i will post my saplings result as saplings/cuttings and then the saplings growth results but i think i will be the first to post this information 20 plants at a time so the outcomes may be easier to understand at that scale ^^ anyway see you all later on this thread after i havest my 20 tree cuttings :P

You might want to be careful with too much of one element. all 4 of my cacti turned out badly using the "all the same" element aproach. since i switched to saplings i've avoided overloading, and haven't gotten any worms or rocksalt. from what i've read here an on other threads, you should try feeding the crystal on an opposite day, (ie, light crystal on darksday).

I went to jueno to check the price of my lemons, they're 10k each, (^.^) or, they're 10k for a stack (-.-) so i put a few up for 5k each, and we'll see how they sell.

So, a summary of my results so far:
fire/fire...........cinnamon
light/light.........gold leaves
earth/earth.........Kitrons

i currently have a dark/dark that i just fed its 2nd crystal to, so expect another update next week.
