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!

  • I'm sick of people like flask trying to come in and say what's right for my neighborhood and then he tries to brute force his ways on us by offering money to people who will do the work for him!

  • since you had not seen the bounty notice, monself, but only my intent to offer the bounty, it is egg on your face.

    if you guys had let it be with some trees wood and some other things, none of this would be happening.

    now because you have set things in absolutes and decided that only one kind of tree is acceptable and followed that with insult, i will work against wood trees everywhere in the world until the unwanted thing is gone.

    i will fight unreason with more unreason and scorn with hatred. if one group of people can decide for the rest of us what way or may not be planted in a public street, than i may decided that an entire species needs to be wiped off the face of ur.

    until you made it an absolute and until you made it personal i was prepared to simply harvest without petting but now i will only be content to poison every wood tree i find and to pay others to do the same until either the "preserve" is removed from groddle meadow entirely or until there are no wood trees in any public street of ur.

    and i am making money doing it.

  • "now because you have set things in absolutes and decided that only one kind of tree is acceptable"

    "i will work against wood trees everywhere in the world until the unwanted thing is gone."

    Hates people dictating what should be on a street.

    Says something else shouldn't be on a street. Goes out of his way to make sure something isn't on all streets. Talk about becoming the thing you hate, but most trolls can't pull off a sound troll and are too obvious.

    So yeah, obvious troll is obvious, move along folks, stop replying to him. The fact that he keeps bringing up "profit" is another obvious troll clue. Lolprofitonanoncompetitiveandcasualgame

    Let the kid try to stir up drama and wait until he gets bored since he can't beat good-natured players. Let him post fake bounties that some poor saps will get sucked into and never get payed for just so he can cause more harmless and temporary havoc.

  • Well, I would like to apologize for having said something rude that seems to have upset poor flask very much indeed. The fact is, when one person does something that upsets another person, pretty soon the angry feelings can start flying back and forth, looking for somebody to hurt in retaliation. My remark about the profiles of flask and psibertus was uncalled for. I sell a lot of what I make to the vendor also, and it does not show up on my profile either. It would be very nice if everyone could simply play this game in a way they enjoy and also in a way that encourages others to enjoy the game they are playing.

  • While I don't necessarily agree with what flask is doing, I don't see any reason for the name-calling. It kind of proves flask's point about y'all. Flask isn't some "kid stirring up" drama who is posting "fake bounties."

    I know flask and can confirm not only the means to pay but the honor to do so.

  • Cool story Vera, that troll has derailed the thread long enough.

    Back on topic now, alright everyone?

    How long is it usually before you can pet/water again?
    Posted 12 months ago by Emerald Hill Subscriber! | Permalink
  • So, anyone who doesn't agree with you is a troll? It is the province of those who haven't the capacity for intelligent argument to resort to namecalling.

    Rook said you are a goup of about "40" who want Wickdoon to be all wood. That, in a game with thousands of players, is a minority, and a tiny one at that. Calling those who disagree with you "trolls" is neither productive, nor an accurate use of the term.

    I, too, disagree with your arbitrary insistence that this street be ALL wood. I, too, have stated numerous times that if even ONE tree were allowed to be something other than wood I would leave the wood trees alone. I have been called names and harrassed, for simply disagreeing with you. Flask is not the troll. Flask is not the one being unreasonable.

    Flask, is your offer retroactive? And will you accept as proof the fact that you have seen me poison wood trees there? Actually, it's ok. I don't need a bounty. I'm with you on this quest against tyranny.

  • Gosh Vera would you like to amend your post up there? How does provocative joking by one person prove flask's point about "y'all"? There are plenty of provocative remarks flying around from far too many people. Perhaps that proves the point that provocative remarks are provocative.

  • The direction this thread has gone is ridiculous!  What started as a nice "Tip" thread has become another all out tree war!  You seem to have lost sight of what's important!

    Anyway, the problem is not Wickdoon Mood and wood trees, the real problem is the trees.  That's right THE TREES.  All the trees!  Yes, I agree wood trees are less plentiful than say bean or fruit, however I would not necessary classify wood trees are "rare".

    What are really rare are the patches.  For Spiggan's sake, there are hardly any patches anywhere!!  How is a Glitch supposed to get their Fecundationist badge with all you glitches running around planting your seeds!!!  Its just plain uncalled for.

    So I offer this: $1 million currants* to any Glitch who can keep a patch safe 24 hours a day non-stop**.  SAVE THE PATCHES!!!

    *Fine Print-the author of this post does not currently have one million currants, so the winner of said prize will have to wait until the author has earned it.  In addition, the author needs to earn more than one million currants so that they have some of their own money with which to survive.  Also, you must be watching said patch whenever the author visits no matter what time of day or prize will be void.  Must be 18 or older to win.  Must be US citizen (sorry all you non US Glitches).  Must be on authors friend list.  Cannot be staff of TS or friend of TS staff or relative of TS staff or know any of TS staff.  Must also have Special item that only Beta Testers receive.  Must hate spiders.  Author has every right to change the rules and prizes at any given time because,well, this is MY contest.

    **Non-stop means until author has earned enough for the prize or until they decide otherwise.

  • Gadzooks has an idea that could be better than a joke. A wood tree is quite easy to kill, without poison, when it gets just past the seedling stage. You can "harvest and clear." So maybe there could be a patch somewhere that people could use in that way. Plant a wood bean, pet it three times to make a seedling, wait for it to grow to a stick, "Harvest and clear" (which will get you some planks to help pay for your bean), and leave the patch for someone else. Of course such a "permanent patch" would be useful to some but not to others, and not as pretty as a tree. I think for one of the badges you have to plant a bean in three different regions, so maybe 3 such patches could exist.

  • The devs should remove levels, achievements, badges, and money. 

    I bet if none of that existed most people would leave and only those who want to enjoy the environment and community would stay, problem solved.

    People wouldn't care as much since HUERPTH WE NEED DAHTHESE RECOUSRCES GAIIIIIIIIS crap won't exist.

  • Actually vocable, I would not. I was trying to return some sensibility to the thread by pointing out that name-calling and such is not productive and that when one person arguing on one side does it, it tends to become associated with the entire group. That may not be right or good, but tends to be how things work on these here internets (and sometimes out there in real life, too - though things don't often explode out there in quite the same way). Though I will fully admit that the way I did it was, perhaps, not the wisest of ways. 

    note to self: tread carefully in tree war threads

    I actually kinda like that there are streets with all one type of tree - makes running around for just what I need a bit easier. I don't care enough to really get involved in making that happen, though, and tend to think tree wars are silly and find the passion on both sides a bit surprising. But, hey, if folks find that enjoyable, more power to 'em.

  • come get to know us, they say.

    all are welcome. we are all about helping people.

    for the second time today these friendly people have killed the tree in the street outside my house. the first time i sold the planks and planted a fruit tree. the second time they left me a dead cherry tree just to make their friendly helpful point.

    good natured bunch. real sweet.

    so this time i not only got to sell planks, but i made progress toward my whack job badge.

    there's a bean tree there now.

    just to be clear: if you are going to take your zealotry to a residential street, the next time the tree outside my house is killed, i will not only make money off of that, but i will find two wood trees on residential streets and kill those.

    each successive time i will increase the number of retaliatory strikes.

    if your goal really IS to make wood trees available to everyone, you are working at cross-purposes.

    when you made this thread to promote your unwanted wood preserve, we were not fooled.

    when you made this personal, you made it personal.

    well. now wood trees really ARE rare. good job, that. are you getting what you wanted?

    instead of getting a street where there were always some wood and some of something else, you got this. what did you think would happen when you decided to vote among yourselves that no compromise was acceptable?

  • Remember guys, ignore the obvious troll.
    Posted 12 months ago by Emerald Hill Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Dear Flask, I don't know who has planted or killed any trees on your residential street. It was not anything promoted in the Wickdoon Tree group chat. If somebody is trying to provoke you and make you unhappy, that individual should leave you alone. Any group is made up of diverse individuals. If one person provokes you or another person tries to be peaceful, that does not mean a whole group is hateful or (for that matter) that we have some way to enforce everybody in the group to be peaceful. I am sure people have said things that provoke and upset you. People have also said and done things that provoked and upset me. If I were to retaliate by trying to poison every bean tree I encounter, I don't think I'd be spending my time in Glitch creating any happiness for myself.

  • Ok I think it's time to throw a party at wickdoon mood and be all friends and play charades. FOR REAL.

    Posted 12 months ago by monself Subscriber! | Permalink
  • He's not lying. I can vouch for him. I live on the same street, and today the bean tree that was there for the longest time was replaced by a wood tree. That was annoying because there's only one patch on our street, and having a wood tree there means I have to feed the piggies manually, which is a chore. 

    PS. I'm not sure if the irony's lost on you when you call another player a tyranny for going against a group that's trying to impose and enforce their own ideology on a single street in Ur.

  • I think the issue here is arbitrary rules. We all agreed to the ToS, but not everyone has agreed to the made up rules we need to play by in certain areas like Wickdoon or Neva Neva. I have heard the term social contract thrown about on these occasions, but I didn't agree to anything. There wasn't an Ur-wide vote. It is a few vocal and pushy people trying to get everyone to conform to their gameplay. But "if I don't like it, I don't have to go to these places." Why should the people who have a different playstyle be forced to avoid certain areas? There is no right way to play.

  • Boom, I had the same thing. On my street quarter, there's only one patch, and ever since I moved in, it was always a bubble tree. Then someone came in and put up a wood tree. Turns up, it was a neighbor who was trying to grow it for the badges. Not a person from the group, a neighbor. I didn't get a chance to talk to the neighbor, but, the last tree put up was a bean one, and then someone took it down and put up another bean (perhaps another wood tree was cleared). I've said it once, and I'll say it again, if you live on a housing block with just ONE patch, and piggies are on the street, don't put up a wood tree because then the piggies have nothing to eat and I seriously doubt someone's going to sit there and feed the piggies (because, as we all know, you can leave food for them on the block, but it will probably end up getting picked up) and then the street has no piggies. It's far more prudent to plant a tree on your own backyard if you need the Growing Wood Trees badge.

    Yeah I know wood trees are rare and all, and like I've said, I fertilidust them if i find them, but on residential streets where there's just a single patch? That's not very cool. If there's more than one, as long as there's a tree to feed the pigs, it's all good.

  • Woah people, Woah. Flask is pretty true to his word. By no means is he a troll. He does what he says and the only mistake he did was to not set his bounty up with a necessary specific the first time.

    When he says something, he means something. If someone planted a tree that you didn't like, kill it.

    I just want to get this across:
    -Our group is FRAGMENTED
    -We are not alone, people have planted wood trees on neighboring streets.
    -Someone kills every existing wood tree Ur on a daily basis. Verm had a house in buckward vale, so he choose a street across, he had a treaty, but most of the group broke it and wanted it to be all four due to the logic of few streets with such trees. War has already been set, flask is just another unhappy person due to the people in our group who keep it at 4 trees, just like auduaria. Why he doesnt decide to help out the community and buy supplies on the auctions with the money from wood trees, is because he doesn't want all wood. And in this case this is his and auduaria's favored streets.
    -I won't go out of my way to kill a wood tree to have one fruit etc, but I won't go out of my way if there is just one non-wood tree to kill it. If I don't do it, someone else will.
    -no one suggested a clear compromise, we just barked at one another, making assumptions thinking that the other was not capable of pulling off such a feat, BUT I did try to get the point across that even if we do have one, don't be surprised if it gets broken...

  • Tree Wars: SRS BZNZ.

    My only comment here: Remember that there is a quest that requires low-level players to harvest from one of each kind of tree within a single game day, and those low-level players do not have the ability to poison trees,  they do not have the ability to season beans for make tree beans themselves, they do not have the skill to make Fertilidust powders, they may not have the currants to buy tree beans from auction IF they even know that such things exist (and definitely can't afford a home of their own with a private wood tree), and they do not have the skill (or the knowledge) to replant beans. 

    In your zeal to punish players for "forcing an unwanted wood preserve upon you," please consider the little lower-level Glitchen who have no clue that this is a bone of contention on the forums and perhaps, out of kindness towards uninvolved parties, leaving at least one or two wood trees in Ur for their use.

    These newer folks have NO IDEA that people are fighting about trees, have little ability to figure out how to make or buy more, and just know that they have a quest lingering in their quest log that they do not have the ability to complete, and those quest reward bonuses are Very Big Deals for our lower-level Glitchen. 

    Just a point to ponder. I have no opinion either way about Wickdoon Mood being an all-wood tree preserve or not, though I have harvested there and I did appreciate that it was there when I did.
    Posted 12 months ago by ✰ Lorelei ✰ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • What I see is also not "war" or tyranny or even majority rule but simple statistics. There are 40+ people who plant wood beans on Wickdoon Mood for quite varied reasons. There are maybe 4 people who do not want wood on Wickdoon Mood. On the average, due to statistics, if you come here you will find that one of the 40 was here more recently than one of the 4. Meanwhile, there are hundreds of glitches who don't much care, one way or the other, what trees are where as long as they can find the right kind of tree somewhere for their quests and their recipes.

  • Lorelei, I, too, have nothing really invested. I just like seeing words I type show up in print. But in the same vein as the lowbies are unaware of all the hemming and hawing on the forums they are just as unaware that there is a random street out there that has been converted into a wood sanctuary. So if it is all for them, they are just as clueless.

  • sorry, I didn't  do that double post on purpose.

    The tree wars are silly but sad at the same time because nobody every complains about how only egg trees will grow in some places.  Why is it ok  for an elite group of game designers to decide that only one kind of tree can grow on a certain street while its a sin for a group of paying players to want to set aside a dead end street for wood trees?  Why all the emotion around that?   I can understand the emotion around AB and Neva Neva because there are groups that want to control the most profitable rooms for sparkly and to tell others how to mine there.   Mining isn't the same as tree killing is it?  tree killing is kind of rare and too expensive to be very common (unless its true that you can make a quarter of a million currents per game day with tree killing)?    So why does anyone care if they see a few others making the world to live in instead of just having what the game designers have put on a street? 

    I planted three trees in the alakol medium show home once, one was a wood tree.  Sure enough when I came back someone had killed it and replaced it with a bean tree.  I wasn't on a wood tree mission, I just got an idea that maybe I could get the quest for planting different trees in my backyard (but it didn't work, guess you have to own the yard).   

    Its kind of sad because it means that when they bring in group halls and such, all the public places will be empty because people will prefer to go to the places they can control rather than to try to get along in the public places.   Will the public areas be deserted then?  I know whenever I go to secondllife its mostly deserted even though there are supposedly a lot of people online, presumably enjoying their private homes and islands.

  • good point. Idgag about double posts :)
    Posted 12 months ago by Rook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I have refrained on this and honestly I don't care what trees grow where.  My real problem is with the following:

    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.

    I really don't have control issues but apparently someone does.  I carry a dozen beans of wood, fruit, bean, and bubble with me at all times (I don't generally hang for long on the darkside lol) and replant the one that I see least of when I spot or make a patch.  My right to poison and plant, or honestly poison and leave a patch for the next glitch is every single bit as valid as the author of that sentence.  I populated an entire new set of streets once with assorted beans (the majority of which were wood) right after the place opened when there were zero residents there so I am not allergic to wood trees...  I am allergic to people who must control.

    I didn't "vote," apparently I am not in the "popular" crowd (hell I can live with that one easily,) and I really resent being told what to do in a sandbox game where the only rules are something along the lines of don't be too evil.  I have watched the  "tree wars" and largely held my tongue.. umm fingers.

    Isn't there something better everyone could do with their time besides attempting to tell others how to play a game in a forum? 

    I'm done. I've said my piece, it is time for peace, and I'll see ya on the cobblestones.
