Wood Trees 101

Some stuff you might need to know:

1) A woodchuck doesn't exist (yet?)

2) Piggies around wood trees might not survive, so keep one tree non-wood. Unless you're taking care of the pigs.

3) There are people who kill wood trees everywhere, your block, you name it.

4) The max harvest from a wood tree is about 80 planks  they sell for 4 currants each, so that 320 currants a tree with the max Gardening skill. The tree might need to be in its best shape (with the help or fertilidust [sometimes lite]) to get you 80 planks, otherwise you'll end up with 40 or 60 planks which also isn't so bad.

5) It takes 6 Pets and or Waters to get a stem or arm of a wood tree back, one fertilidust sprinkle does the trick.

6) They are rare, when on the last segment, they can be cleared, if you can, please try to pet,water, fertlildust it to keep it alive.

7) There are achievements (some difficult) related to the tree. 

8) There's a group that protects the wood trees on a street, feeds the piggies, and doesn't mind anyone being there with intentions to harvest. By popular group vote, it is only going to stay 4 wood trees.

From experience, there's also another way to benefit from the tree. You can donate to a shrine, one plank at a time, get a ticket, maybe a Musicblock... and sell that. The incredible harvests should help. This claim has not been confirmed yet... but the credit goes to MM.

Thanks for reading!

  • When a wood tree is first growing, it goes through the "clear and harvest" stage as well, so it's useful when more knowledgeable players pet and water it past that stage as quickly as possible.

  • that one street is wickodoon mood and it should be noted that there are people who do not like the idea of a group of people unilaterally declaring that a street will be a preserved monoculture.

    as far as i'm concerned, any time that street is four wood trees, it is up for maximum harvest and let the preservist zealots do all the fertilitdusting, because they will.

    so, for MAXIMUM profit, harvest them all without dusting, then kill two. take those planks. sell what you get (about 1500c a visit). within the hour the preservists will have come and used their fertilidust to bring the two you killed into full condition, so you can harvest those two trees again and kill the other two.

    rinse and repeat every four hours. it takes about five minutes in and out, it's very profitable, and it supports responsible agriculture, which does not include monocultures of any sort.

    the street is also rich with pigs, so you can collect a ton of meat and sell that off at the vendor while you're waiting for your poison to take. if you play it right, you can get a quarter million currants every day off of that one street.

    and you'll be supporting responsible agriculture.

    before any of you go and use the "but it's only pixels" argument, i will answer: true. therefore my argument about responsible planting holds every bit as much water as the need to preserve these wood trees in this spot.

    to me, there is a larger issue of one day i went to my local grocery vendor (also in wickodoon mood- that's WICKODOON MOOD, people!) and found that there were "patrols" there to protect a "wood preserve" that SOME people had decided to place in my neighborhood "because it's good for everybody".

    well, it's not good for me. and it's not good for a number of my neighbors. we rather resent a group of people deciding that a street in our neighborhood has to be four wood trees and THAT GROUP gets to vote on how it will be.

    what if it had been my neighborhood bean preserve and this single-minded paramilitary group (they actually call themselves patrols and troops and work in shifts) came in and changed it over because they just felt like it?

    of course no such thing happened, because we wouldn't have had the unmitigated gall to decide for everyone else what kind of trees should go on a street.

    but it's interesting that if you don't like what they've done with the furniture and try to change it back, they call you a griefer. it's a term that gets thrown around a lot lately to describe anyone who wants to do something different than what you're doing.

    i maintain that this organized group of unwelcome monoculturalists are griefers just as much as anybody, because knowing that a "wood preserve" and sanctimonious little notes about "respecting the wood preserve" and "greedy glitches cut these trees" are not uniformly welcome in the neighborhood, they go ahead and force it on us anyway.

    i don't actually believe it's griefing to do what they do, but if we're going to call anyone in opposition to their forcible "preserve" a griefer, then the term applies to them as well.

    so get on down to wickodoon mood, everybody! that street is wickodoon mood, where there are free planks to be had very, very easily because the preservists will come and replant and fertilidust all over the place and you needn't concern yourself with it.

    if i can't have the trees on that street be whatever they're going to be, fruit or beans or a mix of what-have-you, i will have the next best thing: i will make tons of money off of the labors of the group who have brought an unwanted thing to my neighborhood.

    you come, too. if you are a preservist, that just means more of you will invest time and fertilidust so i can get maximum profits. if you are a multiculturalist or you just don't like groups of people making rules for your own good in your own neighborhood, that's more people to do the work of liberty and diversity.

    or at least suggest that maybe the unwanted thing be taken to bortola or some place we don't have to see it, and let the bortolans deal with it. maybe bortolans LIKE being told what kind of trees they can grow in their streets. maybe bortolans LIKE being told what's good for them.

    put it in bortola.

  • 4) The max harvest from a wood tree is about 80 planks (without Super Harvest) they sell for 4 currants each, so that 320 currants a tree with the max Gardening skill. The tree might need to be in its best shape (with the help or fertilidust [sometimes lite]) to get you 80 planks, otherwise you'll end up with 40 or 60 planks which also isn't so bad.

    There is no super harvest from wood trees. The most you'll get out of a wood tree harvest is 80, at the 4 branch stage. You sometimes also get a 2 plank bonus with high Gardening skills (4 or 5 I think), but you can also get that with harvesting from any other tree. The difference between fertillidust and fertillidust lite is that the lite version only affects one tree on the street, while the full version affects all trees.

    The number of planks you get per harvest is 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 80 if I can remember correctly.

    In general, wood trees are not especially rare. Most can be found in residential blocks in regions with cottage type housing. A list of wood trees can be found here: glitch.alwaysdata.net/resou...

  • Are you sure there's no super harvest?  Because I just got a quest to get a super harvest from every type of tree, and wood trees are included.  Seems unlikely there'd be a quest to do something impossible.

    (Although, that ghost quest...)

    1. That requires other players to spend resources in wood tree beans and fertilidusts, the profit comes from the players efforts...  ಠ_ಠ

    2. If other players use antidote while doing poisoning, then it would be a poison waste (400c per use at current auction prices)... profit?

  • Actually, it only takes 6 water-pets to get from three "branches" to four (the final stage). Starting from the "Harvest and Clear"-able stage, it takes two waterings and pettings to "upgrade" it once, three for the second time, and so on. I've been working on the Timber Nut badge for weeks; I would know ;)

  • @Flask: Awesome post mate, I was just sorry I replanted all beans in Wickdoon just as you arrived earlier. If I'd known you were coming.....

    @Monself: everything me and Flask do is profit because we don't need to spend currants to do it.
    Posted 12 months ago by psibertus Subscriber! | Permalink
  • well, since the other players are doing a thing i wish for them to stop doing, it's is doubly beneficial to require them to use their own resources to further my profit.

    that's why i take the extra step of planting beans or fruit in those patches so they have to poison, as well. i have enough currants to buy zille herself and i also have PM2, mining 4 and access to cheap herbs.

    even after the pittance i spend on poison, i can still clear a quarter million currants on wickodoon mood alone every day. and because i don't have to stick around and keep vigil or watch for poisoners or guard seedlings, it takes hardly any time at all and is a very good fast income source.

    it is a strategic choice.

    the preservists are doing a thing that is to many of us unwelcome (evidenced by the fact that they HAVE to organize in squads to keep their unwanted preserve going) and because we cannot stop them from doing it, we may as well receive maximum profit at their maximum cost, in both time and materials.

    when people are doing a thing you wish them to stop, your best tool is to turn their unwanted labors to your benefit at their greatest expense.

    it isn't personal.

  • @monself, to make my poisons takes time, not currants.

    I sell wood tree beans and they make large profit, I either stockpile the planks or use them to fix my mood [by donating to Pot, the best giant] and if they poison the bean trees I planted, I might use antidote if its a particularly rude person poisoning them, but generally I let em replant wood, cause like Flask explained above, it just means more harvests and more profit.

    Wickdoon Mood is an awesome area no doubt, just a shame I had to block over 140 people [the vigilante/preservist groups] so they can't stalk me as easily.

  • I am a member of the Wickdoon wood-tree restoring group. We are not organized in squads nor do we have regular watches or any other paramilitary goofiness. If you compare the friendly informative tone of Rook, who is a member of this group like me, to the heated fantasies about who we are and what we want, I think you can see whether we would think it is fun to harass people whose ideas of play are different from ours. New people and others with quests involving a wood tree regularly ask in Global Chat, "Where can I find a wood tree?" There are apps that can tell you where wood trees exist but on Wickdoon Mood we try to keep wood trees with 4 branches to give people the best chance of a maximum harvest. There are more than 40 of us who take part helping -- not to oppress people who like bean trees but to provide a localized resource for people who have a quest involving wood. The cost to any one of us is very low, since many of us can make powders.  potions, or beans. The social interaction is friendly and helpful and enthusiastic. We love this game and we are happy if flask or others are benefiting from harvesting wood trees. But if you want to know what our group is like, please get to know us.

  • sure. listen to their own language.

    when you go to that street you hear things like "i was taking a shift" and "do you want me to call troops?" and "i was patrolling".

    just go there and listen.

    i do. i did. i listened very well, and i read a lot of little notes and saw a lot of insulting named butterflies.

    just the fact that they need to be organized to keep that street wood speaks VOLUMES. and they will also flat-out tell you that the members of the group have voted to keep the street entirely wood and that no compromise is acceptable.

    is it just me, or is it getting really rule-y in here?

    i'm a big fan of wood trees. i have one in my yard. i planted the tree on my street to wood until one of my neighbors politely pointed out that pigs don't eat wood unless you hand feed, so now that tree is a bean tree.

    this little group has decided for my "benefit" and everybody's "benefit" that no other configuration besides 4/4 wood is acceptable on that street, so i encourage everyone to rise up and go collect free wood.

    let them pay the tab for my millions in plank sales. let them have to poison and replant.

    everybody who wants to make money COME TO WICKODOON MOOD. harvest wood for free and then go play elsewhere. do this often and regularly. let the keepers of the unwanted preserve put their unwelcome preserve in bortola (apologies to flowery pott) or let them use all their time and resources to line my pockets.

    ça m'ést egal.

  • Glitch is a game. The trees are made of pixels and bits. I can't speak to what joking around flask might or might not have heard but since I joined the wood tree group, I have never heard anything about "shifts" or "patrols." We have US members and members who live in Australia; obviously these people are in game at different times.

    Group members who are interested drop by to build up the trees. I rarely find poisoned trees or trees replaced with beans. The efforts of a few people to create a fantasy bean-versus-wood-tree vendetta are completely dwarfed by the reality that wood trees need fertilidust if you get many visitors and want to keep them up to having 4 branches.

    The wish of any individual player to rule over the tree population of any one street, creating an all-bean street or some different mix is every bit as legitimate as my wish to have 4 wood trees in one location. It is just as legitimate for me to plant wood as it is for someone to plant fruit. I wish it could just be kept about what the trees you like planting are, instead of some fantasy about defeating oppression by evil dominators.

    Just to quote the community guidelines, "Diversity of thinking, perspectives, strengths, and life experiences makes the world more interesting...Glitch is, by design, one persistent, shared world. It was designed this way so that many people can play together. Players may make individual decisions about what they want to do, and may also take part in decisions at a group level to coordinate action. Playing in a world which is inhabited by other players is inherent to the very idea of game."

  • As a former Groddle Meadow-ite turned Bortolan I resent the implication that we're all bubble-tree loving conformists... otherwise though, I'll have to agree with Flask. People trying to police trees in general is kind of a downer. Wood trees especially just don't thrive in the wild - don't fight nature. If you want a whole backyard full of wood trees, excellent. But don't get mad at someone if they harvest one to death on a street. That's just how wood trees work.

  • No one is mad - we're just replacing trees that people kill off with poison, with wood. On one street.

    And flask is someone who doesn't want a monoculture that makes sense, although the claiming that there is harassment from out group is making me scratch my head, esp since we tell our members to stray themselves from that route. If he would provide proof, then I will take  necessary action.

    -Admin of Wickdoon Wood Preserve

    QED.

    people have taken it upon themselves to declare a preserve on a public street.and they have to form a cadrethat can take action against its own members toenforce their unilaterally imposed idea.

    "let's decide for everybody what can and cannot be grown in a particular street! let's go and make a preserve where we will patrol and harass and whine and we will not ask anybody in the neighborhood if our idea is welcome, and when we learn it is not, let's force it right down people's throats whether they want it or not! why? because it's GOOD for people, by golly! who decides what's good for people? WE do! we'll form patrols and take shifts and stand guard!"

    if your "preserve" was a welcome thing, you wouldn't have to guard it so carefully. the world is not full of griefers. your preserve is simply unwelcome to many and inconsequential to the majority.

    full disclosure: when i saw wood trees being planted in wickodoon mood, i thought it was lovely.

    ...until i saw that a group had formed to prevent anything else from being planted there. and i saw the unfriendly and unpleasant things people were saying to anyone who harvested before watering and formed my opinions over a long time.

    it became obvious to me when the official line of the group went to quiet, self-sacrificing sanctimony, but the effect is still the same: there is still a cadre of people making rules for the rest of us.

    you can hide behind the line that you're just providing service to the community by forcing 4/4 wood trees, but if it was a true service, the community would be more appreciative and you wouldn't have to appoint an administrator or take votes to decide for the rest of us what should be planted.

    i remember when there was talk of leaving one tree on that street to be something else but the group in all its gentle do-gooding ways voted that down because you can't just promote a place where wood trees may be found; you have to be sure nothing else can be grown there.

    take it to bortola.

    oh, wait... the only bortolans who have said anything so far don't want it in their neighborhood, either. wow. that's an awesome service you're providing.

    res ipsa loquitur.

  • I have no idea why people get so upset - it's one street out of hundreds.

    I for one, am incredibly grateful for those people who keep the wood trees on Wickdoon Mood. Not everyone has the option of planting wood trees in their backyard or on their streets. Knowing there is always one place I can go to for wood is extremely helpful. Thanks, guys!

  • I really don't think that wood-tree fans are trying to police trees or to force anybody to play Glitch according to our rules. This is a misinterpretation of our motivation and activities by people who  feel they have a right to demand that we play Glitch according to their rules.

    When I first heard that there was a "wood preserve" on Wickdoon Mood, my own first thought was that no one group should control a public street. But after meeting people from that group, when I moved into Buckward Vale next door, I was impressed by their good humor and cheerful play. That group does not, in fact, control a public street. Members exercise exactly the same right to plant trees they like and remove trees they dislike that flask and psibertus are claiming for themselves. We are simply a group of individuals who individually think it is a resource for Glitchians to have one place where wood can predictably be found.

    A lot of people are used to playing games, or like to play games, where opposing teams battle and each one vilifies the other, accusing it of bad motives and trying to drum up public sentiment against it. I don't think Glitch is a game hospitable to that, and it is not the way the wood-tree planters see their role. I feel it is rather unfair to try to portray us as if we were some kind of paramilitary police or authoritarian force. Please come to Wickdoon Mood and get to know others who come daily to harvest or to plant. It is an interesting street with many interesting people coming there daily, including the people who want the street to have 4 bean trees.

  • [Disclosure: I'm a member of the preservation group.]

    @flask, I can't tell if you're writing in-character or out-of-character, and at this point I think it's worth making the distinction to make communication more productive.

    Out-of-character, what happens to the trees is the game.  It's a mechanic of the game that anyone can participate in the decision of what will grow on a patch.  The give-and-take of the distribution of trees is part of the game.  It is by design.  It is not possible to be wrong about what tree should go where any more than it is possible to be wrong about a chess move.  A move can lose you the game, but outside the context of the game, it was just a move.  Therefore, when someone brings up the "it's just a game" line, they are taking their part of the conversation out-of-character.

    In character, the stories of the trees are very important to some Glitchen (me) and worth fighting for.

    Out of character I don't want my game play to make the game less fun for you.  If that is the case, then that's a different conversation from the plight of the trees and we should have that conversation explicitly rather than guessing which is which.  If you enjoy in-character debate, then I am happy.  If not, then I'd like to understand that and work out some way we can both have fun.

    Or, if it is not possible for us to both have fun playing this game, then one of us will have to either suffer or leave, and I suspect it shall be me.  But we should negotiate this explicitly to maximize everyone's enjoyment.

  • I am a part of a group that considers themselves the guardians of the wood trees (I'm not so peachy keen on the word Vigilante in it, but eh). I would like to say that perhaps there could be some kind of agreement to come between folks, but, people will be as they wish.

    I joined in one event on Wickdon Mood for the wood trees, just because I really had nothing better to do, and thought I'd give it a shot for giggles, though I do enjoy wood trees. However,  I'm for thinking perhaps it would be best to plant wood trees in locations less frequented by so many Glitches, simply because it just seems like a hassle. I'm a person that doesn't really care for conflict, particularly in a game where I've found more nice people than rude ones.

    There is the quest, and there is the badge. As far as the quest goes, I'd love to see at least a few wood trees, because I remember when I had to do that quest and did NOT have a house, and there were NO wood trees to be found in all of Ur. None. As far as the badges go, I suppose it would be best to do it in one's backyard, and also, perhaps, housing blocks, provided that there is more then one patch, unless, of course, you're going to be feeding the piggies on that street block every game day or take the piggies off the street (and you can only remove one pig on one street every 42 hours).

    And if you're doing it all for roleplaying purposes, more power to you.

    Aside from that, what's not to say we won't be needing a ton of planks for building our houses when the new housing update comes?

  • we had a truce with the Wood tree group to maintain 2 beans and 2 wood trees. I was happy with it because at least one group wasn't trying to dominate the community, but then some people started planting fruit trees which was hilarious and just showed me that having 2 of each tree all the time is just as idiotic as 4 of a kind. 

    I did not break the truce btw, their group voted and decided they would rather dictate to the community exactly what trees are planted in Wickdoon Mood and would never be backed down by one person they consider to be a griefer. their logic is dumb but it is ok, they have actually cost the community because now many players are hunting down all wood trees and killing them, making even more profit. I am one of those.

  • I do not understand how the desire of one group (several groups actually) to preserve wood trees could be responsible for other people hunting down wood trees to kill them. If trees are killed surely it is the responsibility of the person buying or brewing poison and hunting down wood tree.

    Game mechanics do make it possible to hunt down and kill all wood trees, but quoting the community guidelines if you are doing it to "piss people off"  that is not ok

  • Last time I checked, there were around 800 or so streets in Ur.  A group of Glitchen want to keep ONE street for the rare and hard to find Wood Trees, and somehow this is a problem?  When every street in Ur, or even half of them, are being restricted by vast armies dictating what you can grow where, then we may have a problem.  But one dead-end street on the edge of one province?  Come on, this is no real inconvenience to anyone.

    Posted 12 months ago by Audaria Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I thought about that too, Vocable, at what point does it become harrassment and griefing?

    I fertilidust wood trees as I see them, and then I move on. I'm not going to sit there all day watching a wood tree to see who comes by and poisons it. Sure, I don't like that there's people who are hell bent on destruction and would rather there be NO wood trees in all of Ur, but hey, if they want to play that way, let them, as long as they're not hurting others, which, does, apparently happen. As I've heard there's been quite a bit of harrassment on BOTH ends, which is rather silly.

    Supposedly there may be a skill called Carpentry that may come out and maybe we'll have more uses for planks other than feeding batterflies or making tools. Then what will people do? Plant more wood trees, because suddenly, there's a use for planks. Then perhaps another group will rise up and be hell bent on taking down all the wood trees so they can control the market.

    The tree wars is the silliest and childish thing ever. There's so many different trees out there, but obviously, wood trees, because they're not so useful as some people state, they just have to be gone.

    I speak for myself, not the group.  I don't know what other people's motives are.

    I want one street (I don't care which) to be all wood because it is unusual.  Most of Ur is more or less random.  If bean, bubble and fruit were not so common already I would be in favor of devoting streets to them too.  I like the trees decorated with fruit and chemicals not because it's festive, but because it's non-random.  I like to see Glitchen working together toward a shared goal, and "all trees on a particular street being the same kind" is just as much fun for me as "all Rook attacks defeated within X minutes" or "one street littered with poetic notes."  Wood makes a better choice because it is rare and vulnerable (because it can be harvested to death).

    It's not "necessary", any more than anything in Ur is "necessary."  There is no necessity in Ur because there is no need.  We don't have to eat, sleep, pay rent or exercise.  Everything we do is motivated out of our own imaginations and our own idea of "fun".

    Maintaining all-wood at Wickdoon Mood will cease to be fun for me as soon as I'm convinced that doing so actually preventing another person from enjoying the game.

  • @Vocable, if their are large groups dedicated to keeping 4 wood trees in Wickdoon Mood then it is highly profitable to kill the other wood trees, forcing more players to harvest in Wickdoon Mood, which in turn increases the turnover of trees and also sales on the AH.
    Posted 12 months ago by psibertus Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Psibertus what you are saying does not make sense.

    Furthermore when I look at your profiles, which show everybody's AH sales, I see you are selling bean tree beans and flask is selling herb seeds, which do not even grow in "his" neighborhood of Groddle Meadows. Neither one of you is making the profits you claim from killing/harvesting wood trees.

    planks sell at a good price at the vendor. no record of that, but i don't appreciate being called a liar.

    since you do not have access to my finances, all you know is that i sell herbs and anything else i can get my hands on.

    it;s no secret; i'm on record in a lot of threads saying i harvest, mine and sell everythign i can get.

    because i do not like this little cabal of rulemaking in my neighborhod, i harvest planks as often as possible. on a good day i clear a quarter million currants from the planks alone.

    and because you seem to doubt my means, i am now offering a bounty of 10,000 currants to each and every person who can show me proof that they have killed all four wood trees in wickodoon mood.

    i intend to pay for this generosity on the backs of you guys who fertilidust those trees so i can sell the planks.

    i am now no longer limiting my killing of the wood trees there to times when there are four out of four.

    vocable, i now declare out and out war on every wood tree in the world as long as there are ANY in wickodoon mood.

    so: 10,000 currants to anyone who shows me proof they've killed all four there. additionally, i will offer 1,000 currants for proof of any wood tree killed in any street at any time.
    and whichever one of you geniuses went to my house and planted a wood tree outside it, thanks for the free planks. plant it as often as you like. i make money off of it.

  • LOL!

    Ah, flask is assuming some things or has learnt some information correctly.

  • So tonight I went by Wickdoon Mood to check up on the wood trees and make sure they all had four branches. Quite a few people came through, harvesting wood or buying groceries. Two different glitchen I'd never met before gave me, quite unsolicited, fresh jars of Fertilidust. That was their response after reading this thread. I would like to thank all the friendly and kind people I have met just because I was spending occasional time on Wickdoon Mood dusting up wood trees. By the way I have never seen any butterflies with insulting names unless you count one that is named "Wood trees are beautiful." The pigs get renamed pretty often -- last week somebody who replanted w 4 bean trees renamed all the pigs stuff like "Beaninator" and "Mr Bean." This week some (probably different) person has gone for a seasonal theme with pigs names "Holly", "Eggnog", "Mistletoe" and etc. It is a fun place, worth seeing. So let me join flask with a true holiday spirit to say, come over and harvest some wood. That is what it's there for. If you woud be kind enough to pet and water, you increase the chances of a good harvest for the person after you. If you are in too much of a hurry, that's also ok because lots of neighbors drop by on a regular basis with fertilidust.

  • Well, before setting out an elaboration on how our ordeal was not to originally keep the street always 4 wood trees, and saying that the previous admin was contacted and told that his members wanted 4 wood trees on the whole street, and that he warned everyone that it is up to them to expect war, I'll just say this.

    Our group is full of fragmented idealist when it comes to Wickdoon Mood, if someone really like the place and wanted a different tree, such as you and Audauria I'd be more than glad to have that happen, however, if I support that ideal, others will kill that last tree, group or no group, as admin or not, replacing my commas with semicolons in posts or not.

    Why can't we choose a desolate area? Because we also want something pretty damn nearby, and we started here, maybe we CAN move, you've brought up a good point. But there  is a person who will kill wood trees everywhere so if we decided to put something in a far away area, it would be hard for us to monitor.

    If we have a "rule/reputation" or keeping 4 wood trees on one street, then you too, have a  rule of only respecting the existence a diverse street of trees for every street and you obey it as you have said so yourself.

    What I"M asking for, is if you see players yelling out at people directly, that's what we want, because WE WILL NOT accept such things and it might be possible that we have missed it.

    Patrols? Of course we have "patrols" not some scheduled crap, someone drops a line to check on the street, and we do. Since it is a popular place (hence the controversy) I wait for the people to harvest, so I can fertildust afterwards.

    (Fun fact, one of the top three contributors to Wickdoon's Street Project is a TEDx Planner)

  • @psibertus, you are spot on with what happened. I'm just saying that the group holistically isn't on the same boat.

  • O people  stop getting your  Panties in a  Wad,,,,,, Leave the  trees  alone,  Just play the  game  and  stop killing  trees ,,,, Leave the  wood  on  Wickerdoom,  there are  plenty of  other  trees  every  where  else, There are  times I go there and  you  don"t  get wood off every  tree there to small to  take  so all wood  trees  gives you a  chance to come out  with  some.

      (offering a  bounty  on  killing  trees  "shame  on that  thought" )

  • @Vocable: I sell Wood tree beans, they fetch the highest price and usually sell within minutes, I see any excess bean tree beans I make too, and if I've had a good spice run, I'll make some of the other seasoned beans.

    I also use the planks for donations or I stack them at home incase they suddenly become far more useful, also I make awesome stews which use a ton of beans, I sell the excess meat I get from Pigs in Wickdoon Mood and use the grains I squeeze from Chickens to feed the pigs [in my house] and keep the stills running.

    Everything I do in Wickdoon is profit. I sold over 100 wood tree beans yesterday alone.

    Gotta admire what Flask is doing with the Tree bounties :P it's within game parameters and pretty damn funny.

  • Hey Flask man, there is no limit on that bounty. It might be fun for me and a few of my buddies to kill, replant and kill the trees there few hundred times. You would honor your word, wouldn't you?

    At the price you are selling those wood beans which is pennies over what you would get at the vendor, you would have to sell about a hundred wood beans to make enough extra profit to cover the cost of poisoning about 4 wood trees. That hardly seems profitable, lol.
