  lol does it matter where you click on the map when you create? I sorta randomly clicked mine..
  
  I'm guessing no since you visit it by clicking on people? :o

  Question!
  You can farm on your homestead (which is why there's seeds and whatnot). So is farming as tedious as it is for the Taill farms? Or do you wait that 1h (or more) and then it's harvest-able? How much of the crop do you get and can it be sold to that Farming guy in Taill just like normal, or is there penalties in gold for being a Homestead crop, etc?

  
  
  Nope, not tedious like Taill farms. Just plant and harvest when they're done.
  Though, I'm only going on the one harvest of strawberries I got today. XD

  Anyone know where you get 'fish' for the paint? I know theres tons of fish in mabi but most of them have different names like brifine carp, rainbow trout, etc. (I haven't actually tried fishing yet to see if a 'fish' drops now, still at work)

  
  I was wondering this as well, turns out it's just any fish

  Got a question that maybe someone can answer...
  For the furnaces, is it unlimited time of use or after a certain amount of refining it goes away?
  That same questions applies with the chopping block.

  Yes, i was wondering that too cause if it has an unlimited amount of uses, then getting R1 carpentry just became possible for me...

  All production tools should have unlimited uses.

  Just plant, wait, and harvest. No maintenance. But no, you can't turn them in for gold. These crops are for leveling your homestead.

  To answer my own question and to maybe answer those waiting for the question. Any fish apparently works for the paint.
  
  Also I would like to mention that the best setup for 'grinding' your plot of land to level 11 would be (this assumes 10 homestead a day, not counting this current event dropping stones from monsters or luck/huge luckies)
  
  Day 1:
  Level 1:
  -Tent (5 stones)
  
  Level 2:
  -x1 field (2 stones)
  -x1 strawberry crop (3 stones)
  
  Day 2:
  Level 3:
  -x2 field (4 stones)
  -x2 tomato crops (6 stones)
  
  Day 3 and on:
  -x3 tomato/eggplant/cabbage/pumpkin crops depending on homestead level (9 stones)
  -x5 Prairie Grass / Shrub tree / Cactus
  -Well (Build-able at Level 3 Homestead)
  -Light wagon (Build-able at Level 7 Homestead)
  -Wagon (Build-able at Level 9 Homestead)
  
  Summary:
  
  

  
  
  • Get a ton of homestead owners and gather at someone's home. Put a campfire down and eat Muffin of Luck. Put on a luck set. Luck/Huge Lucky works for homestead ore.
    
  • Start the first two days should build x3 field and a tent
    
  • A field has unlimited uses, you don't need to build another field to plant crops again
    
  • 1 crop is 3 stones, x3 crops = 9 stones, leaving you with 1 spare homestead stone a day if you did not get a lucky/huge lucky while mining stones. If you put down x3 fields, then you can take care of all 3 fields at once, leaving you to do other things in mabinogi instead of tending to the crops all day.
    
  • The leftover stone a day you should save up for light wagon/wagon, well and 5 Prairie Grass / Shrub tree / Cactus. Wagon gives additional kon per crop (+80 points to pumpkin crop, haven't tested if it stacks with more wagon). Well decreases time to the crop, its not a big impact though. Prairie Grass / Shrub tree / Cactus give 6 kon a day but only stacks up to 5 (30 kon a day). Some of this will be updated when I test it more.
    
  • Lay out the 3 field crops perpendicular to each other and play music while standing in between all of them. It can hit all three plants, so you can get all three fields to like your music and speed up the growth. See the mini layout in text below (I'll add a picture when I get home).
    

  
  
  (Field) (Field)
  (Field) (You)
  
  

  
  
  • Do NOT build a house early on. The reasoning behind this is a home costs 30 homestead stones and only gives 1000 kon points. 30 homestead stones can make x10 crops which gives a range of 2000-2800 kon points without a light wagon or wagon. Thats enough points to get your homestead to level 0 to 5 with only around 1000 more kon points to level 5. Build a home once you are finished with leveling your homestead to 11 first. Then you can use those homestead stones for whatever you want.

  I'd skip on the well. Doesn't seem too useful to me since you don't really have a time limit for anything.
  
  But yes, x5 Shrubs/Prairie Grass and the Wagons are quite useful.
  
  Also, what about those ornaments that give 2 Chick per day? Do they stack separately from the 30 Chick limit or are they included?

  Chopping block gets exhausted similar to chopping the blocks in dugald. A guildie found out the hard way. It does get refreshed and putting down a Fir tree gives a slight bonus to drop rate and maybe quality. I don't believe it stacks since Japanese Cedar Tree does not stack with other production skills that it boosts. I'm assuming that the Low-Grade Cuilin Stone and Wild Honey is similar, but haven't tested it or seen it in use yet.
  
  Herb patches refreshes once a day.I think Round Cuilin Stone might be the same, but again haven't tested yet.

  Haven't tested yet, I can give it a shot tonight. This event makes it easier to test alot of these stuff before we get limited to 10 stones a day (not counting luckies). Oh and I huge lucky-ed earlier and got around 20 homestead stones. :cryno:

  When I mean unlimited, I mean it doesn't run out in that you have to build another one. Of course all material props refresh after a certain amount of time has passed (some longer than others, herbs being a focused case here).
  
  Usually why I see 2 or more Round Cuilin Stones about in a Homestead, in case one dries.

  I have a question; why does everything outside of your homestead look all burned and ruined and stuff? I mean, in Uladh, I would think it would have green there but it's all black and stuff. Is that like that for ever? Does it change when it's a higher level?
• Ayamo wrote on 2011-05-03 07:10
  Doesn't look black to me but it definitely looks very bleak and mostly just rocks to me.
  Ok something didn't add up with the ornaments, I haveta check again tomorrow night and see why the kon bonus did not add up.
