Wood trees: impossible to find!

I know they're very rare, but can anyone give tips as to where I might be able to harvest from a wood tree?  http://www.tagurls.com/glitch suggested there was one recently on Moraba Plains but it's gone now.

Help!

  • There's a bunch growing around Alakol right now. Might try taking a stroll around Dofsan Vex. Global Chat is also a good place to ask for this kinda thing. :)

  • Will do - thanks!

    I thought to ask in Glitch Strategy, but was worried about spamming global.  Cheers mate. :)

  • I assumed that was for support?

    Also, you are brilliant, I found my wood tree - much appreciated. :)

    buy wood tree bean, find open patch, plant wood tree bean.

    seriously, it is easier to grow these guys than to find them.

    if i were in your shoes, i wouldn't even bother looking.

  • Also use Fertilidust to speed it up..

  • I think the wood trees need to get some love from the developers. They are just too fragile and are harvested to death before they have time to grow. I tried planting some yesterday but they disappear as soon as they grow up. It is too discouraging to keep planting.

  • Wood trees need tree nymphs to protect them in the "chop me once im gonna die stage"

  • It's not just that they tend to get cut down when they are young.  When they are fully grown, they are still really delicate... six harvests and they're dead. As Dofsan Vex showed yesterday, that happens really fast and within a couple of hours, you're back to bubbles and beans unless someone is hovering around with fertildust.

  • I planted a load in Alakol but people keep clearing them. I was hoping that if we get enough people wont leap upon them to harvest. They do need to be much hardier though.

  • Striatic: Finding an open patch is as difficult as finding a wood tree, really.

    Ani: Kudos to you and your efforts!

  • You can help by fertilidusting any wood tree you see.

  • if you need wood, you could also poison an existing tree, wait 177 seconds (and hope no one administers antidote in the meantime) and clear the dead tree. That will give you 25 boards of wood, and a patch whichi you can tend, and then choose to dig or grow a new tree in it.
    To be able to poison trees you need the Botany skill.

  • When I was in need of a wood tree, I spent my days visiting every single housing quarter in Marrakesh and Estevan Meadows, and Marylpole Mount. As the new housing street was loading, I could tell on the loading screen whether there was a wood tree there, and if not I'd just head right on to the next one. I found a surprising number of them (and have since planted a couple more in patches): try that strategy if you're looking for a wood tree.

  • There was one in Feman Falters yesterday.  Today it is a bean tree.  There was one on Dorfan Vex, might still be there.  it was there this morning.  They are so rare and do not last long so I killed my bean and planted Wood.

  • There's one today in Otterlane (but of course no guarantee it will still be there when you arrive). I hit it with fertilidust to increase the odds a bit.

  • Who knows if they will remain. I've seen plenty of people only harvest, never water or pet the trees.

  • i had to check in to make sure that nanookie informed everyone that wood trees are

    THE VEAL OF TREES!

    (and she did not disappoint)

  • Anyone with me to do some poisoning way too common bubbles to replace with wood? Seriously. They're practically EVERYWHERE.

  • A wood tree in my neighbourhood? (Marylpole Mount Quarter, 4300 block (1)).. as long as it's not in my empty patch next to the entrance!
    If it is, I'll move it to the other patch next time ;) (If there is a next time, won't konw where I'll live after the reset.)

  • There was also two wood trees in the patches in my street (...unless they were cut down in the thirty minutes between when I exited my house and game close) in Marrakesh Meadow, 3600. Aaand if they were cut down I'll replant them, I guess! It was kind of nice having some wood in the neighborhood to cut every so often.

  • I end up growing them in my backyard, to be honest. I've yet to see one out in the wild...

    What I would like to see is, if upon harvesting you'll "kill" the tree (a.k.a. the option of "harvest and clear" rather than just "harvest"), you get another pop up warning along the lines of "are you sure you want to harvest and clear this wood tree? It will be destroyed if you do." or something like that. Might cut down on the destruction?

  • I still like the idea of being able to hire low-level characters to pet and water trees.

  • Thanks to A Magical Unicorn... one of your trees is right outside my new house and I'm trying to keep an eye on it while taking good care of it!

  • @blogkitten

    I think it does say something about destroying it. But perhaps it needs to be more apparent?

    The other day when I was looking for one for the "super harvest" all trees quest, it was quite difficult to find. When I did find one, I had to use some powder to make it grow. The next day it was gone! Poor tree. Maybe we could have a designated tree map. Like the spice area.

  • I think part of why wood trees die is the attempt to super harvest them for the quest.

    People know they are hunting the last egg for the egg tree, but they don't know the best harvest is from a full grown wood tree.

    Personally I'm keeping a wood tree in my yard until I'm done with both quests, and if somebody needs a single chop, I let them have it.
