Silencer.7614 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I know the sale of new garden plots is disabled temporarily. But I already owned 2 and got a third plot yesterday with the chef 500 collection. After finishing the Chef collection last night at reset I made 1 seed pouch for each of the 5 new seeds that come with chef 500 and planted them in my garden. I noticed after I gathered them, the soil changes from the name of the plant to open soil. In the past Open Soil meant that there is no longer anything planted in that spot. Please tell me that this is a a bug and we are not going to only get 1 gather per seed pouch and then have to craft more seeds, plant, harvest and start the cycle over every day. If that is how it is meant to work that is a ridiculous amount of work to have to do each and every day and quite expensive as well. I'm going to leave the 5 open soil spots alone until reset tonight and go back and see if there is anything there as a test but I am not hopeful.

LucianDK.8615 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I am afraid its not a bug, given that the seed pouches doesnt appear on the vendor. As well the fact that we got a cooking station in the home instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pifil.5193 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Having to constantly replant is a bit tedious. The fact that you have to salvage 25 dishes every time you want to plant a single seed makes me wonder how sustainable this is. If you just plant these in all of your garden plots you'll need 100 to 300 dishes a day depending on how many garden plots you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not MEANT to mass produce the ascended food. You can, if you wish, but it's getting unfriendly if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The seed limit is meant to mimic the timegate on other ascended materials. It is working as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted last time test this was close after they had first released the plots and haven't tried it with the in game earned one yet. I think the point is you _don't_ harvest your own plots instead you harvest someone else's and they have full ascended plants in every slot.

Linken.6345 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 You cant dubble harvest now you couldent before, checked on my alt account harvested half ran out of gathering tool, went out got another.

Ubi.4136 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Guessing there are a lot of bugs atm. I never purchased the gardening plots, so I only have the one from the new achievement. BUT, the home instance gardener does not have ANY seeds., so I can't even use the one I have been given. So, they gave me a gardening plot, that I can never grow anything in, not even the regular seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an oversight you dont get it from the free one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaramSin.2693 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I Agree, as it is now is useless at least like Empty Rune Slots Chest of Sun's Refuge, you must craft 1 (one) seed, plant the seed, gather and then repeat? I could understand MAYBE if it could work like every other pouch of seed that do not disappear after you plant one seed, I could MAYBE accept You have to plant seeds EVERY Day (it's so strange but anyway) but really, if you have to craft every seed you plant EVERY day! i will not use it so much, thanks for the plot I will use it with my existing seeds :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heibi.4251 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 All I'm doing currently is gathering herb seeds when I can and replanting whatever I have and building up resources for when I make the feast in larger quantities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not MEANT to mass produce the ascended food. You can, if you wish, but it's getting unfriendly if you do. Not sure about food for other things but at least for power DPS it remains about the same. The cost of the ingredients for https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cilantro_Lime_Sous-Vide_Steak is about the same as the old price for https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bowl_of_Sweet_and_Spicy_Butternut_Squash_Soup and for the same duration.

Vectara.2407 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Friend of mine crafted the seed pouch, planted it but couldn't harvest the next day (wasn't online). The day after (so about 30 hours after planting the seed) it was gone. Does anyone know if that's expected too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day after (so about 30 hours after planting the seed) it was gone. Does anyone know if that's expected too? Did they harvest somebody else's garden inbetween? We did get the impression that the game got messed up on keeping track of your harvests if you harvest somebody else's plot that you didn't have yourself (as in I harvested plot 3 of a friend while only having two plots myself, and found that my first plot was harvested/empty afterwards, but we didn't try to reproduce the effect). With the ascended herbs being account bound this will hopefully no longer be a problem, but I still hope development and qa will take another look at the garde plot, as planting/seed pouches still bugs out occasionally (bug reported).

zipain.5276 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Why not just make a large batch 1 time? This is not tedious at all compared to some other things. You want ascended food or not? Its not like its just a little better than its lower tier food, its like A LOT better. And theres a lot of very very cheap food to craft. I just found out what food I want, and I bought the seeds and make a massive batch, I go harvest, plant new, done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco.5014 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 So let me see if i got this right. You have 1 seed. Make a pouch. Plant 1 seed. Day after harvest 1 seed. In other words you got the exact same thing as you planted in the first place? What is the point of planting 1 seed that you then make into a pouch and plant?

No you get leaf from the plant you harvest and no seed, to get the seed to plant again you have to go to the trading post or out hunting herb nodes in the game and be lucky to get the seed you want.

Liston.9708 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I have toons I don’t actively play parked at a few seed spots. Worth it to me to farm those seeds. Go back to tv and return to the farm anytime after 1 hour. Also worth using glyph of alchemy in wvw and GH to passively farm seeds from synthesizers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tip of the day: Using item boosters and other farming boosts lets you harvest the varietal herb patches multiple times. The last time I made a batch, I planted 8 cilantro, and picked up 13 once I grabbed all of them. Planted 4 sesame, reaped 5. That's several gold with of free loot. If you have a spare toon, park one near the home instance, give them an item booster and give them a sickle with the Glyph of Bounty. You'll get several gold of extra loot with every wave of cultivated herbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
