Wishlist: Return of GardeningFollow

I don't know if it'll work for current content available, but as a possible addition to new grows. Botanist pretty much has the market cornered. What could you think you'd grow in this garden that isn't currently already harvested as a bot in the zones?

And as an off note.. Bubba HoTep rules.

Good point, it would have to have a totally separate yield than from Botanist yields. That in itself would mean it would have to be a new DoL class. That is more thinking about then I care to do when thinking of possible new game mechanics, so I'll stop there.

Actually Gardening is coming at some point with Housing. I don't believe it will be available when housing is released. But Yoshi had made comments back when he first introduced housing that gardening was something they wanted to be in with it.

I'm ready for gardening, it's how I supported myself through XI.

It would be interesting if they were able to expand the idea of Gardening to create house-related activities that made use of all of the DoL classes, actually.

Fisher is obvious -- aquariums and pools! And fishing trophies of the biggest catches.

But I'm at a loss how mining could contribute. Create/maintain a crystal feng shui for the house?

I was into gardening in a very minor way in XI...I'd forget to give them crystals etc. I was too busy out digging up the world with my chocobo.
Top of my wish list is digging. Since we're in early days with the game, I'm assuming the dev team has a wish list too, so they both could come.

There was a F2P game I played where players had an area they could farm. You could then visit friends' farms and help remove pests, weeds, or even revive crops that had been left to harvest for too long. You'd have the first two happen at your farm, too, but couldn't revive your own stuff. Anyway, those actions gave you farm EXP, and as that leveled, you got more land plots and could buy better crops to plant. In XIV's case, I could see shards being a good fit as potential crop. The game also allowed cash and EXP, but I could see some disliking that notion. Personally, I don't want to see farming exclusive loot as it risks becoming a pressured activity, then, especially if time sensitive like XI's was.
