Crop plots into herb plots and vise versa

So, I ran into the problem of getting a lot of herb seeds while going through the ancestral grounds. I got to my brand new house, hoping that I could plant them, but to my dismay the plots were crop plots, and herb plots only exist in specific housing, housing in which you can only own one house so far.

So I am suggesting that, with a skill perhaps, you, as your in game character, will be able to change the plot, so it could grow herbs or crops. Not both mind you, just one or the other.

  • I was kind of thinking that being able to buy a flower pot to grow herb seeds (or your tomato seeds if you have herb plots in your house) would be a nice addition.

    It wouldn't change the nature of your home to be able to grow a seed or two as a potted plant.

  • Yes a lotion/potion you can make to change your plot to veggies or herbs would be a nice addition.

  • @Ida Keen - great idea, but what's to stop you from having 1000 pots? Maybe a windowbox, which like a gnome is a one-per-player thing, and has 4 or 6 s/plots?

  • +1 to the idea of a windowbox, arcturus.  Maybe this could be a part of the housing upgrade system?

  • Pots or powders (even one-time, per seed powder) would be great. I finally bought a 50k house in Alakol the game day before herb patches came out! D'oh.

  • I would like to have some pots on my balcony to grow herbs.  I like to have lots of garden patches and wouldn't want to grow too many herbs, so a few pots for them would be wonderful.

  • @spong I did the same thing, only to realize that i couldnt plant any of my newfound herb seeds.

    Hanging gardens do sound like a good idea, off a balcony or some such. I still think maybe a skill that has a long cool down or something would be better, as not all homes have windows or balconies.

  • Flower pots etc. could be great... But maybe the gardens should stay the same... Every time you walk through a door in life, you leave certain options behind, otherwise decisions have no meaning, there is no strategy.....

  • yea, but being able to use dirt for only crops, or only herbs seems silly, as you can fertilize and change the soil. you can buy soil depending on what you want to grow

  • I would love to be able to grow herbs instead of or in addition to the garden plots I have too.  I used to have a house in Chakra Phool and I could grow herbs and now I live in Alakol and I can only grow a garden there.  I wish there were super-nice and large houses in Chakra Phool too, because I would just rather live there.  The views are very spectacular in Alakol, but it's something about the vibe in Chakra Phool that I love... but I digress.  Flower pots would be nice too, maybe for the front door instead of having one of those gnomes.

  • herb pot (hehe) would be great for all of us without herb gardens

  • i like that the gardens are all veggies or all herb.  it does force you to make a choice.

    but what i'd like to see is the community gardens in more places.  i don't know about the regular gardens, but there are only 3 community herb gardens. and they're all in the same spot.  i'd like to see them spread around Ur a little more evenly.

  • This complaint is so common. I do undersrand it would be fun, and i do want to try it sometime, too. But is it so hard to trade a friend tomatoes for herbs? I do absolutely think we eed the option of pimpier houses in the bogs. But I'm kinda glad we're asked to specialize a TINY bit.

  • I like the idea of flower pots a lot. As it is now, I think herb plots are a lot less useful than crop ones, so I moved to kongu hop to get crop plots.

    I'd also welcome a greater variety of herbs to make growing them more interesting or profitable.

  • Dont get me wrong; i live a few blocks from you, and if they build flower pots I'll buy em!! I just think better bog housing (and more useful herbs!) is a better longterm solution.
