Using the deed might unlock it, but I wasn't paying close enough attention to confirm whether that did the trick, or if I had to get a seed drop first--I didn't expect it to be in the Black Lion collection section, so didn't even find it until my second seed drop. I don't think it's visible at all for those who haven't purchased a plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palador.2170 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Using the deed unlocks it. I looked through what it required as soon as I got it, before getting any seeds to drop. The plot itself is the final item in the collection list, allowing it to unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menadena.7482 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Okay, got a few seeds. Too bad that I need to collect all of them before I can get the Final Four. Hopefully there will be a guide soon that says the best places to get certain seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodstealer.5978 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I am curfuddled as to why ANET thought a garden plot system was a valuable use of time and resource. Surely it would of taken less time and effort to just place a mystic toilet recipe in place and guaranteed dye recipes for chefs. I mean it's not like players don't forage stuff all across the game. Or maybe someone thought it would be a cool idea to have the LFG system refilled with all those "farm my home instance for coins" again. I understand the gemstore needs to turn a profit but surely you can come up with bigger and better ideas than this. I will purchase one plot and play, but I now see what little use it really is besides the metabolics.. which never needed a garden plot :disappointed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I bought both plots. Don't have much to spend on gold on lately anyway. I'm planting the raw materials for the Bowl of Sweet and Spicy Butternut Squash Soup, because the thing is obscenely expensive and the high-demand materials aren't going to become cheap anytime soon. Lemongrass, Clove, Garlic, Onion. Lemongrass is for the other food item which reduces condi duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miraude.2107 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Plots can also be home specific, meaning you can have different plants growing all at once! I tested this out. I have Saffron on my charr, beets on human, artichoke on asura, carrots on norn, and potatoes on sylvari. None of them are overridden at all which is quite a great surprise, which also means that even if you get two per plant, having all the same plant in each home instance garners a small yield. Edit: for some reason the asure home instance now has beets instead of artichokes while charr still has saffron. Will have to test it out more to see if maybe the new build did something or this was an unintended bug that they want to squash and have every plot be the same in every home instance.

I came here to ask that very question when I went to harvest the plants I sowed in Salma District when I went to Hero's Canton. Thanks for sharing the observation! Edit: It seems some home instance plots share crops while others don't The one in Hero's Canton seems to have unique crops from the one in Salma District, but I will find out tomorrow which one it shares with.

Some foods & 'oils' are too expensive to refresh before they expire, but many are going to end up being cheaper to refresh 'too often' rather than devoting 1000 gems + a week's worth of seedlings. > > Yeah, I agree with you there. The stuff I use is actually relatively cheap so refreshing them every 30 minutes isn't a loss. But some foods are a lot :# I bought more for convenience when raiding and not cost saving. I can now just go into my raid group on raid night, load utilities and not worry until the sesson is over. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably are supposed to be a more "fun" type of node If that's the case I'm not buying the 2nd plot as intended. Of 3 guild members going in, none could harvest after me.

Plok.5873 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hey ArenaNet, could we please get more different seeds, starting with Ghost Pepper, Orrian & Snow Truffle? If possible, all available? Pretty please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pifil.5193 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Just a note to let people know, the guaranteed dye unlocks are only for the dyes that are in the game since the start, they will not unlock any of the exclusive dyes that were added through the BLTP dye packs. Kinda disappointing, really, I should have waited until the wiki was updated. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't harvest the node twice, even if it has different plants. If they haven't harvested, I imagine it's a bug that they can't. ..as They can harvest everything else in another persons home.

LadyRhonwyn.2501 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 It might be that they must be with you in the instance when you harvest, because that at least works for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taelac.7036 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 There's some inconsistency in whether/how other people can harvest from the garden plots. As of last night, one guildmate who entered the instance with me was able to harvest half the plants after I had harvested, but not the other half. The previous night, none of the nodes could be harvested after I did, but all could be before I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linken.6345 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Yes but you can not harvest the nodes untill all your guilds/friends have harvested and they will all get it then you harvest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notebene.3190 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Would be neat if things like this also gave a daily collection you could do for...something? Wouldn't even have to be a big reward, just a fun to-do, if you feel like it. "Go out into the world and get me x of these 10 plants and return to me and I'll give you (thing)". Make it so the count(s) for the daily collections come directly from the harvests, kinda like the seeds, so we can't just buy the stuff from the TP, or take it out of our own inventory collection. Oh, and maybe the plants are always things we grow, and only 4 of a thing, so we could, in theory, choose to grow them for that day rather than go find them in the world? Or grow whatever we want, and go gather the quest requirements in the world? Or...ignore the daily quest entirely b/c it takes too much time and is bothersome, and the reward isn't that great (wouldn't want it to be crazy awesome, maybe a handful of crops or something).

Orion Templar.4589 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 It looks like the Grove and Divinity's Reach are linked - I have the same crops in those instances. But the Black Citadel has its own plot. Haven't checked yet if Rata Sum or Hoelbrak are linked or separate., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find them on the TP, but most hover around the 150-500 Gold price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as separate nodes, but perhaps as seeds for the garden plots. Or at least all those plants used in 80er recipes. Even with the most expensive plants we are unlikely to ever see a gain => investment. Therefore it does not seem to be an unfair advantage or danger to economic stability.

Therefore it does not seem to be an unfair advantage or danger to economic stability. Sorry, what I meant was that the Garden Plot will likely not get seeds that corresponds to any currently existing Home Instance Node. So Flax, Ghost Pepper, Orrian Truffle, Sniw Truffle (all wanted by posters in the thread) is almost guaranteed not to happen, *as they are already available* for the home instance.

Right, as that would make the dedicated nodes for those nearly worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
