Gardening

[Exerty]

Really? That a pain I can only imagine duno if gardenings worth it then. Maybe when I get to 60 and have gold to burn then.

All your planters disappear if you get DCd from the server. I can't imagine wasting several gold for a few planters, having to babysit them for half an hour, and then lose all of it because I DC for whatever reason.

It's also pretty lame that there are 4 plants to grow, of which 3 are essentially useless and the seeds for the 4th are overpriced.

Just turned in YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.and i have some thoughts. there is no direction as what to do next. i was expecting a GARDENING icon to appear in my spells and abilities book. or new skills under survival. nothing. trainer has nothing. i even went to STV looking for more from the survival trainer there. nothing. you just start planting. kind of anti-climatic.

and this is a lvl 20 quest that seems geared for higher level toons. you need to have survival 100. which means you have to brace STV at lvl 20. and you need to be able to afford the mats for all those torches and tents to get survival to 100. very expensive. you can't farm the mushroom spores, you have to buy them. for 2.5 g. i don't have that kind of money at lvl 20. you really should able to farm them somewhere or maybe have them drop from a mob . doesn't feel like a lvl 20 quest so far.

if you manage to find/buy all the ingredients, and plant away, you have to wait about 30 minutes for the whole process. i could be do and turn in multiple lvl 20 quests in 30 minutes. this is quite an investment of time. and in the end i get food items i can't use yet. it is a lvl 20 quest that give me lvl 25/35/45/55 food items. that can't not be traded or auctioned. i can consume them, but can't use them as a way to make money. after all that money i spent to get here.

i love the idea of new skills and new content but this one feels like it needs work. it is too expensive and difficult for a lvl 20 toon. it feels more like high lvl content for someone who is bored. i am surprise this new skill is tied to survival . never seen that before. but then why does making a planter show up in survival ? where are the other items you can plant ? herb teas ? poisons ? pet food ? seems this is a good start but there is no indication it is going to go somewhere. for the amount of time and money invested i don't see the value.

would eventually like to see more recipes (plant armor or hats ?). would like to see more gardening trainers around the map. and wuld like to know if it is separate from survivial or just a nw survival skill that should show up in my survival skills lsit ?

great job on adding new content. i just think tis one needs some work. and now that i managed to get there - with a lot of help from my amazing guildies - i think i will hold off on actual planting. i will wait to see where this goes first.

last thought ... that new patch 1.6.4 island ? maybe we could find banana seeds there ?

did i mention having to go back to ungoro crater - at lvl 20 - for more soil ?

I love it! I like to do gardening irl as well so I'm looking forward to set up my garden and immerse myself even more, I've been already roleplaying as if my character lived in some of the remote houses I've been occupying in nice peaceful places found in Azeroth (perhaps one day there could be some sort of housing as well with the hearthstone attachable to that location). It'd be great to be able to also plant trees and more edible/medicinal plants.

there really is room for this to be something cool. it's just not there yet.

Would love to see a type of buff that helped with professions..ie reduce the time to make stuff, gather, mine or to increase chance of getting gems when mining, etc. Most of the stat buffs are already covered with Alchemy.

Another option could be a buff to grant a racial bonus for professions and diplomacy.

Last idea could be buffs given via quests could be reused for this.

Need Crops plants, just grown for vendor profit. Wow gold farming will get a hole new meaning.

Cotton maybe

Is it possible to make gardening available since 19? I could spend time on twink doing this stuff.

[Kefke]

Honestly, I'd kind of like to see Gardening split off into its own profession, and both it and Survival get smoothed out to work across a full level progression.

[Aeternusdoleo]

Consider allowing Alchemy ingredient plants to be grown through Gardening as an alternate means to gathering them out in the wild.

The skill level required could be tied to the Herbology skill needed to gather them.
For a yield, I propose one herb is used as a "seed" for a harvest 6 to 9, given the time you need to invest.

[Geojak]

6-9? That would be insane.
Get 20 gromsblood, spent 45 min gardening, end up with 150? No thx.

But 2 would be fine. Would make herbing prices close to vendor trash

I checked it now. You don't need to do quest to use Wooden Planters. So gardening available since you can level Survival to 75. Even on 19 lvl.
