XIV Gardening Guide

The numbers below assume "one" badge. You can scale this exponentially. See below for caluclations.

Step 0: Prepations

We need:
1x Deluxe Garden Patch 3x Old World Fig Seeds (buy from MB or gather, easy to get!) 5x Mirror Apple Seeds (buy from MB or gather, easy to get!) 8x T3S

Step 1: Royal Kukuru Branch

Put down the Deluxe Garden Patch and plant it like this:

 MA  | [OW] |  MA
------------------
 MA  |  XX  |  MA
------------------
[OW] |  MA  | [OW]

MA = Mirror Apple Seeds OW = Old World Fig Seeds [] = Stays / one time!

First plant the Old World Fig Seeds with T3S, then Mirror Apple Seeds with T3S. Wait 4-5 days, water everyday and optionally fertilize to make them grow faster. (* fertilizing has no effect on cross breeds or yield, just makes it grow faster)

ONLY harvest the Mirror Apple's and let the Old World Fig's alone. If done correctly we should see a yield of about 96%, given we have 5 Mirror Apple spots, that should be 4-5x Royal Kukuru Seeds.

Step 2: Thavnarian Onion Branch

We need:

1x Garden Patch (*) 3x Tantaplant Seeds (buy from MB or cross Krakka Root with Wizard Eggplant beforehand) 5x Royal Kukuru Seeds (from previous step) 8x T3S

(*) Either you swap the previous Deluxe Garden Patch with the new one or you place down both at once. S-Size plots can only have one Garden Patch, M-Size two, L-Size three. On M and L-Size you can decide if you want quicker returns (at least one for Step 1, at least one for step 2), or higher yields (two for each step and swap). DO NOT remove the Old World Fig's from the previous Deluxe Garden Patch, but store it!

Put down the Deluxe Garden Patch and plant it like this:

 RK  | [TP] |  RK
------------------
 RK  |  XX  |  RK
------------------
[TP] |  RK  | [TP]

RK = Royal Kukuru TP = Tantaplant [] = Stays / one time!

First plant the Tantaplant Seeds with T3S, then the Royal Kukuru Seeds with T3S. Wait 4-5 days, water everyday and optionally fertilize to make them grow faster. (* fertilizing has no effect on cross breeds or yield, just makes it grow faster)

ONLY harvest the Royal Kukuru's, leave the Tantaplant alone. If done correctly, we should see a yield of about 60%. Given 5x Royal Kukuru's we should see about 3x Thavnarian Onion Seeds.

Step 3: Thavnarian Onion

We need:

2-3x Planters (from housing merchant) 2-3x Thavnarian Onion Seeds (from previous step!)

While we could plant them on a Deluxe Garden Patch, they are very valuable at about 100k per seed. To avoid any cross breeding and randomness ruining your day, plant them inside a house in planters. Wait 4-5 days, water every day, optionall fertilize to make them grow faster. (* fertilizing has no effect on yield, just makes them grow faster)

Once done, harvest and sell on MB for about 150k each. This method will yield about 3x Thavnarian Onion per 8-10 days, per Deluxe Garden Patch. Thus, about 450k per 8-10 days, per Deluxe Garden Patch.

Note: While the Thavnarian Onion are growing in pots, we can return to Step 1 by exchanging the Deluxe Garden Patch again and making new Royal Kakaru Seeds. Once the Thavnarian Onions are done, we can start with Step 2 again and repeat the process. With M/L-Size plots it's possible to grow Thavnarian Onion every growing interval (4-5 days).

Yields:

Plot Size	Onions per interval	Gil per interval
S-Size	~3x	~450k
M-Size	~6x	~900k
L-Size	~9x	~1350k
