Growing Furniture in a Garden

There's nothing like setting up that perfect immersive scene in your player housing.  Sometimes the basic furniture can look a little bland so why not add a little bit of flair?  I'm sure some of you have been wondering where the heck to get things for your home such as those lovely dried roses hanging up on the wall or those beautiful vases full of flowers.  The answer is simple--grow them in your garden!  Ever wondered what those mysterious glossy and bumpy seeds at the seed vendors grew?   Well, now you know!  I happened to make a handy dandy list of what each seed grew and where they could be acquired.  Some are a cheap 25k and some are over 100k silvers so be prepared to drop some coin.  But I can tell you they are totally worth it if you are all about decorating!  All of the seeds have a 100% drop rate.

Horse Breeding Calculator

Looking to get that Tier 4 horse or Tier 6-8 horse of your dreams?  I found a useful tool to help out with that.  Though a lot of RNG is a factor when it comes to breeding this helps calculate the outcomes for you as a bit of a test.

They say a good formula is to start out with a Tier 1 female and get it to level 11 and breed it with a Tier 2 male at level 10 and you will most likely get a Tier 3 female.  You can find many horses of different tiers on the Horse Market if you are willing to pay.  Some are pretty cheap.  Now if you get a Tier 3 male and a Tier 3 female to level 16 you can breed them for a good chance of a Tier 4.  Get two Tier 4 to level 30 and you have a decent chance at a Tier 6.

Cherry Blossom Festival!

The Cherry Blossom Festival is in full bloom for the spring and not only can you can see many of the beautiful trees everywhere but you can get one of your own!  Click HERE for a very informative guide on the forums.

As you can see here I have a garden full of them.  You can just harvest them with your hands or a hoe from wild herbs, thought they are a rare drop and take about 6 hours to grow into a mature tree.  They drop approx. 10-13 petals each.  They take up 2 spaces in a garden so with a waterway and scarecrow I can fit 4.

The petals can be sold for about 10,000 silvers each, eaten for a nice buff, or handed in to the NPC seed vendor outside of the Lily of the Valley Inn at Heidel, Skill Instructor Hunt.

You can acquire a lovely minature Cherry Tree in a planter for your home for 10 petals:

OR you can get a very nice Cherry Blossom Festival Earring for 30 petals:

The items are family bound so you will not be seeing them on the AH and the earring is also dyeable.  Better get your farm going if you want them!
