What I want to know is does plant power increase your amount of crux favor per harvest? or is it still a max of 50?
it increases per herb planted so planting 10 at a time gives u the most crux fellstalk are the best ones to plant if ur not doing the daily herb as it gives 450 crux per 10 so if not doing the daily herb fellstalk are the second best for cru points

Absolutely. With highest tier of Plant Power unlocked, your max of 50 crux favor becomes 500, or 10 times of it. It is really a great deal, well well worth buying.

I have been able to get to Plant Power (tier 2) and while it does say there is a drop in # of herbs able to pick, it is significant.

This morning while building up my currency harvesting Fellstalk seeds (the preferred seed), I avg 18 herbs with one seed, Seren of Crwys active and juju farming potion.
Now at Plant Power (tier 2), I avg 8 herbs with the same setup. When I planted 4 seeds, the most I got was 13 herbs.

If this new feature was designed to reduce the amount of herbs collected, it certainly work.

My advice, get the other “Unlocks”, and save the Plant Power till last, unless the harvesting #’s are changed.

Thanks for letting us know the content is underpowered. Waiting for a buff to drop before I start grinding for the unlocks.

TBH I wouldn't really expect a buff. If we can grow too many herbs, nobody would ever need to buy them. The market would dry up completely.


In this player driven market, IF nobody buys something nobody will produce it.

We, players dictate the prices of items. Evidently, players still need to buy resources, especially when many are going for all level 120 master skill, and new players are coming with many from FSW soon. That's why we still see plenty of players running around all kinds of farming patches now.

to be honest, I'm starting to sour on this now.

I'm having a hard time buying seeds, and herb prices are utterly tanking right now.
I'm making profits still but it's falling back to how it was before the update, with the added annoyance that buying seeds at a decent price is next to impossible.

not to mention, runs are taking longer because im collecting more herbs.

Maybe seeds aren't common enough anymore, or herb drops from enemies are still to frequent. idk.

hopefully the market sorts itself out.

#1 Seeds certainly are not as common as they should be IF you want the majority of Herbs coming from farming rather than Monsters

#2 The drop in Yield per seed is HUGE if you're planting more than 1 seed AND are a newer player without all the BIS perks

I have no problems buying seeds, and hence no problem re-claiming my Comp Cape. Typically I bought thousands of them by offering 20% more than GE price.

I'll think it may be a little harder for mid level players to but hundreds of mid level seeds per day because bosses don't drop them. However, they can still go out and farm mid level seed dropping mobs
