Gardening
Naeo's personal advice:
stick to the above three regions untill you can buy the following:
9 Porc. Pots
1 Arcane Pot.
after pots are bought, and set up in MH: Farm the following.
Pashhow Marshlands - Goobbue; Tree Cuttings; Stackable, Theft (unknown to me)
(get atleast 10 of these.)
*Plant the Cuttings in the pots mentioned above; and check them every day. do NOT feed them any crystals; just keep checking them. after two weeks, harvest the cuttings. you should get 10 Tree Saplings (if you have an Arcane Pot, you might get 11-13 saplings :3 the Arcane Pot can harvest up to 3 Saplings)
Plant said Saplings on a Full/New Moon of a day of your choice; i'd advise you start a journal /dairy of your planting schedule, and the day / moonphase you planted it on.
you should be checking your plants daily now, when it asks you to feed your sapling; check the moon phase / day
if it's a Full / New Moon on the same day you planted it on, feed the sapling a crystal to match the day (Waterday = Water Crystal)
after this, your first feeding is done, just check it everyday.
when it asks you to feed it again; check moon phase, and day: if it's a new/full moon on the same day as your planting and previous feeding: feed it the crystal that goes with the day. Water = Water
you're done with your feedings, now to just keep checking it once a day (you might be in the habbit of just checking it every time you're in the Mog House by now)
when it asks you to Harvest: Check Moon Phase / Day
Full / New Moon + Same day as planting and both feedings: harvest and roll in the Ores you can harvest! (you should get atleast 2, maybe 3 out of the 10. and most ores sell for 300k+)
BCNM
BCNM40; the mother load of cash and agony.
you're better off doing this with people you know, and trust; because these items are rare to drop; and you don't want to get screwed over.
Items to look for: Erase and Utsusemi: Ni
BCNM of Choice: Steamed Sprouts (BCNM40, Giddeus)
Party Needed: BRD, RDMx2, DRK. other two slots are optional, should probably drag a PLD and a DD with.
IF you have a PLD: have him/her run into the area, the Onions will swarm him.
bard casts Horde Lullaby, and starts to play Onion Choo-Choo, sleeping them again and again.
PLD will want to take the BLACK mandy first, because it will cast flood, and it's the hardest one.
after black mandy is dead: party should heal BRD, and start picking off the swarm of white onions on the bard.
Farming
For those that like to farm:
Carpenter's Landing:
Tigers - Fangs, Stackable, non stealable, Quest: 8.3k (repeatable quest)
this is as far as i go >_> i just do Garrisons and BCNMs and planting >_> with a mild ammount of farming for my supplies for whichever craft i'm leveling.
