[quote][i]Quote from: Penweaver[/i] It can be very very frustrating, and you are correct, there is a HUGE amount of randomness involved. Combine that with a whole lot of conflicting information all over the web, and it can be enough to rip your hair out. Case in point, when I was researching how to grow ore, I found out that alot of sites (like Allakazam) have people who troll through the boards and will go to great ends to those posts that have good enough removed from the board, or so low on the list of posts that no one ever reads them, then they will post "How To" walkthroughs that are nothing but disinformation to keep people from learning how to grow ore. Its very annoying lol. To be honest if you want a sure fire method of making gil while gardening, I do suggest going the Cutting --> Sappling route. On my server (last time I checked) Cuttings were going for about 10k - 12k a piece, and Sapplings were going for about 20k. Given that you will probably average around 14 Sapplings for every 10 Cuttings you plant, make this incredibly profitable. However, like you mentioned, it is slow. Essentially, when I first got into it, this is what I did. I set aside 3 mules to garden with. Each had 10 pots. On Sunday night, I would buy 3 stacks of cuttings. I would plant 10 of the cuttings right away. Then I wait until monday rolled around and planted the next 10, and then waited for monday to roll around and planted the next 10. Doing it that way, about every week you will get a harvest. The first 2 or 3 weeks its a little tedious, but in the long run, you have a nice steady flow of income. Anyhow, after buying the 3 stacks and only planting 30 plants, I would either sell of the loose 6 and help increase my profit, or hold on to it until I use it. Either way, at current prices for my server, you would make about 100k to 200k a week. At this point, I run 60 pots all on the same cycle, and I average about a million gil or so a harvest.
