Growing Elemental Ore Journal
I grow Earth and Dark ore for me and my lil LS I'm going to grow into a mighty Dynamis LS one day...lol but until then...we're lvlin and farming Tree Saplings
But here is my method of growing Earth and Dark Ores.

we'll start off with the batch i just started.

Moghancments: Gardening

Equip: Workbench, x12 procelin pots, Maple and Oak Table and a Tartaru Desk.

Planted: 10-19-2006
1st Crystal Fed: Earthx6 Darkx6 on 10-26-2006
2nd Crystal Fed: Earthx6 Darkx6 on 11-05-2006 could have fed on 11-2-06 but wasn't able to get to my account due to vacation.
Harvest[b]: Edit 11-12-2006 Picked x4 Dark ore out of 4 pots. Picked x24 Persikos out of 2 pots
picked x3 Earth ore out of 3 pots. Picked x36 Kitron out of 3 pots.

New items harvested: Persikos and Kitron (Ingredients for Cursed soup and Persikos au Lait)

Fairy sell stats: 400k Dark and Earth ore 32k Persikos (stack) 2k Kitron (stack)

Gains and Failure: Gains...obviously the ore but Failures, all i've seen from my batches are tree cuttings. I'm not sure if this is the other thing you can grow like this but all i can report so far is tree cuttings whcih you can grow into saplings and rinse and repeat with earth crystals and get saplings.

Note: I've noticed ores will grow no matter what element is flowing thru your moghouse. I've heard a lot of people say you need the highest element lvl flowing thru your house to be able to grow ore effectively. i think its just depending on your batch really. From my tests if you plan on growing 12-24 or more you should have the 2nd or 3rd element lvl flowing thru your MH and you'll have a good harvest of Ores.

Feel free to add info here as well. This is the method I've used for 3 batches now and i've had vast harvests. Feel free to use it as well and all thanks can go to yourself for growing the ore succesfully.

Re: Growing Elemental Ore Journal
one time I fed the sapling only one crystal and still got the ore... amazing isn't it? not that crystals are really that expensive, but over time it adds up. give it a shot! sometimes, one is better than two. (money wise)

Re: Growing Elemental Ore Journal
Last Year I grew 10 Lightning ores from 1 batch, and remember this is back when Lightning ores were about 800-900k, my LS was very pleased as I shared the profits, I planted on Lightningsday, fed the crystals (all Lightning) and I harvested on Lightsday, if it means anything I harvested in the opposite order I planted, if you ask me his was all luck maybe just incredible luck, but I hope this helps in some way



Please don't blame anything I do or say about FFXI wrong on ignorance but rather on inexperience.

Re: Growing Elemental Ore Journal
What were the moon phases for planting/feeding/harvesting or is that irrelavent?
