How on earth am I suposed to plant 5 seasoned beans in me back yard for this silly task, when, even if I poison the trees and start again planting, I only have 4 patches. Jeezo these tasks are getting on me nerves. hate it hate it.

  • Let's take a moment to ACTUALLY read the instructions...

    "Plant 5 Seasoned Beans of any kind in your back yard and raise them to fully grown Trees. (Important: You'll need a House to do this, but you don't need to raise all trees in the same back yard.)"

    The bold part indicates that you don't need to plant all at once. So all is good.

  • I've only got two patches and I don't like the idea of poisoning either of my trees... so I'm just waiting for the housing relaunch.

  • Not to be rude, but if you ask a question before carefully reading the instructions that are given for the task you are asking about... Well, some won't hold back on the sass :)

  • Huh, none of that read as patronizing from here.

    Too bad, this is one of the friendliest game forums I've ever encountered.

  • If you don't want to poison your trees just harvest them without watering or petting and let them die natually

  • @Mystica - that's a very odd response from you when you've just been told (very clearly I might add) exactly what you need to do to finish your quest.

    'Oh well Thanks for the info. but am not using the forum again. Dont need Patronising smart asses in me life.'

    Are you sure you'd remembered to remove your smart-arse fingers before you wrote your own response?

  • You can just ignore the quest, you don't have to do it. Maybe it would be better for you to wait until the new housing. Just do something else. I have ignored a few that I can't be bothered with, it doesn't really matter and doesn't hold up progression in the game.

  • Obviously this post has riled up some people, those  that have put in their time to help or just give their genuine opinions. The troll has just chosen to ignore all arguments, these sort of posts should be deleted.

  • Sometimes people just want to complain -- I suspect all of us have felt that way at one time or another. While her response was certainly harsh, perhaps she just wanted to vent.

  • I agree, Shepherd. I just think that it's a little unreasonable to flounce because of a single comment.
    Posted 11 months ago by Abby Cadabra Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well that really did get a lot of backs up so it did. Who's the 1 that walked away from this.. And I hasten to add I am certainly not a troll. All the people that placed a comment I thankyou.
    But not the people who just had to turn it all into an attack.
    Once again ty for the help.

  • I didn't like it but I killed the commonest tree in my back yard and replanted it five times, took about three days. I felt bad but the quest is a bit of a pain otherwise. However, now I'm used to killing (the first is always the hardest) I just tour down South killing Spice trees and replacing them with Gas.

  • Mystica - if that was aimed at me, well I'm sorry but think before you type. It's not nice to get all self-righteous when all people are doing is answering your question. If you don't want to be teased, then don't be so prickly...

    People are generally pretty helpful in here, but at the same time, don't suffer fools gladly : )

  • @Benzyl - the first is definitely heart wrenching. But now my heart has turned to stone and i poison trees willy nilly. Have taken to dying frequently through no-no too.

    what has glitch done to me?!

  • If you start going for the "Clear dead trees" badges, your ears quickly become deaf to the cries of dying trees.

  • Some instructions can be confusing.  This is one of those Quests that is like that.  Fortunately for me, I have 5 tree patches.  Try asking a friend if you can use one or more of their patches.  The "House" does not need to be your own.  It takes a while to raise a tree but Fertilidust will help you move along much faster.  It took me a little longer because I can't stand all the crying when I poison a tree.  This may be silly but it still disturbs me even after nearly a year in the Game.

  • Im sorry I can't even focus on the original post anymore as I'm too shocked by the response after the question was answered... Wow.
    Anyway, I'm learning potion making just to be able to make tree poison and kill all the things. I'm tired of looking at that quest...

    They do have to be in your back yard, not a friends. The instructions say ' you don't need to raise all the trees in the same back yard' to accommodate house moving. Hopefully that will be rewritten when we no longer  move house.

  • Thanks IrenicRhonda!  I was sure that I had used a friend's yard during Beta 1 but that may be a faulty memory or the Quest may have been modified since Beta 1.
