    That part about upgrading your stuff with the magnifying glass blew my mind. Also: You don't need to ship the seeds to get higher level seeds in the general store. You can ship just a single crop that is a higher level and literally, the moment it sells, the general store's corresponding seed for that crop will be available at the higher level.

    You've been a busy beaver with this lately Josh. Good Job. Would have preferred a shout-out though, since I spent an hour sharing notes with you the other day.
    Using Greenifier + and an Iron Sickle for Turnip Seeds doesn't actually take that long, and is a great play early game to get easy access to level 10 items quickly. You just need to unlock Corn so you can make Greenifier +.
    About Minimizer. To be fair, nothing will turn giant in one day, as there is an intermediary stage you can harvest during to prevent them from becoming giant, so their inclusion has always been somewhat memetic.
    I can understand deciding to leave Giant Crystals to a second video, since their inclusion in RF5 basically eschews the usefulness of micromanaging much of this in the first place.
    I can't stress enough that you should never put Withered Grass in the Fertilizer Bin. Withered Grass is too valuable to craft various nutrients, which you will have to do manually for the first 70% of the game. Crops that wilt completely will yield a Withered Grass. Spinach is a great way to utilize this early game to stock up on Withered Grass by leaving it to die on a Farm Dragon.

  • @grey3414

    Also, another question: how come when I plant level 10 crops, sometimes when I harvest a giant version of it, I end up harvesting a level 9 instead.

    • @mingchen7704
      @mingchen7704 2 года назад +3

      It is call field degradation. If you keep planting crops on a plot over and over and over again. There is a chance for getting lower level, fewer harvest, and slew of other issues. You have to keep switching up the plots. I don’t know how long it takes for the soil to reset. But I usually just farm half a field at once, and leave the other. Then switch when I notice crops starts to degrade.
      This is especially problematic with repeatable crops like pineapple, strawberry and the like. But I have never seen it drop more than a single level. So if you have lvl10 seeds. It should be fine.

    You should never use withered grass for your fields or fertilizer except it's an emergency. It's used for high level chemistry crafts Not Rot and Greenifier\+, and unlike the other flowers and grasses you can't ever buy it so it is very limited.

    • @Agarokk
      @Agarokk 2 года назад +7

      It's not really a problem. You can make your own withered grass by planting spinach and don't water it and just wait a few days until it withers.
      A fully planted ice dragon yields me over 200 withered grass after 3 or 4 days which I can use for tending all of my other fields.

    7:09 Really? I thought because it says “to” in the description, “from spring to summer”, it suggests the cucumber grows well in autumn as well.
    If I’m not mistaken, some of the seed descriptions say “Spring and Summer” instead, which suggests to me it grows at an average rate in autumn.
    Personally, I’m a stickler for grammar because of my need for clarity. You might be right though, or maybe I’m right; I’ll definitely have to look into this to be absolutely sure.
    That aside, thank you so much for uploading this video! I’m currently on the hunt for tips on how to effectively improve my field’s overall soil stats, (and ultimately max out my crop’s stats.) Figured I may as well start watching this vid and make sure I understand the basics.

    I have a few questions about growth speed in this game in relation to rf4. I know that there is a multiplier for correct season crops of 1.5x growth speed. Is this value additive or multiplicative? And does the speed level mean that that is the new base speed at 1.0x growth speed? Just trying to understand how the two tie in. Would be awesome if that was how it worked for some super speedy crops.

    So, I tried your suggestion of using the magnifying glass to upgrade a piece of armor. It did nothing! I believe that the tools you have at the gold level - the rainbow watering can etc - are automatically giving you the crop read. I was one level under the gold tool level when I watched this and upgraded a white bow and my lion waterpot. Neither helped to "see" what the magnifying glass sees. However, when I forged the next level tools, I noticed that when I had the tool out, I could see the stats on the crops/fields. When I put it away, that information disappeared. I just wanted you to know so that you could update. Maybe the Japanese version allows the upgrades on armor, but the American version does not.

    Question I would like to have seen answered here. How much does the fertilizer bin restore to the soil? In my early game I noticed that even though I had more fertilizer than crops planted, only a certain amount of them wilted. This begs the question, "Is there a limit to what the fertilizer bin can do per day? For reference, I was monoculture cropping on a brand new farm dragon, so soil stats should have been the same unless there's RNG involved.

    • @aynonymos
      @aynonymos 2 года назад

      To my knowledge, it should have been even, but the best way to do mono culture is to only use a third of the field at a time, that way the remaining two thirds have enough time to recover.

      The amount of Health and Resistance given to your field from Gaia Crystals is controlled by the Overall level of the field, so with a low level it won't do that much and your field will get wrecked. I imagine he'll tackle this is the second part of his video. Fruit trees randomly give you around 1-4 fruit a day, so it'll take a while to get to 50 with only one. No real rush though, as those requests don't lock any other requests and only give you access to the respective tree's seeds, which you already have anyway.
