  Hoo boy, 20k a pumpkin seed?
  Don't see why people buy anything besides Strawberry because the rate of Kons is greatest if you constantly plant Strawberries...
  
  Very nice, very nice.

  You're wasting your homestead stones if you can plant pumpkin instead.
  Pumpkins take longer to grow, but that's not the point. They give more homestead exp.

  Oh, right. Herp to the derp. Thanks for pointing that out.
  
  I'm trying to figure out the most efficient method that must be followed to the letter for getting the best homestead for each char at the end of the 10 days...

  Grow the kon adding plants for the 40 homestead exp per day.
  Plant pumpkins or cabbages only for best effect when possible.
  Have plenty of luck from temporary food effects or luck set/title.
  
  By the way, I suggest only 1 homestead per account - main character only. You can't use the main character to pluck herbs from the alternate characters on the same account, that's not possible. If you are planning to learn herbalism on the alternate characters too, that's ok.

  If you main a human your giant and elf can get herbalism easymode. Just talk to 1 person and boom you got it. The as yuo plant herbs you can rank the herbalism and get herbs for your main. :D

  It's probably easier to just have a Homestead on the Elf and Giant characters, then - because honestly, i've never gotten Herbalism on a Human. 10 Healer PTJ's is obnoxious, because they become tedious after 3~5.
  
  Also, the above method (Giant/Elf chars pick herbs, send to Human) would work brilliantly with any pet with an inventory. I've transferred items from characters that I wanted to delete to characters I was going to remake in their place using pets.
  
  Sure, the free Thoroughbred doesn't make this possible, but since we haven't got awesome pets like the Crystal Deer available at the moment, it's a pretty wise idea for new players to buy a Thoroughbred as their first pet.

  Newbie characters can use the newbie destinies to their advantage by ranking up WM/Crit and/or AM right away to avoid training.

  Yep its a good idea to buy some mode of transportation (which I recommend in guide).
  
  Claudia once you have finished this process please post some feedback here so that I can evaluate it and refine it better. Thanks.

  Good point but this guide is kinda writing pre-skill ranking. Just a way to get started in the best manner.

  but once you lose the beginner destinies at 100, you lose the ability to rank them with out training, so the beginning is really the only time to take advantage of the system

  This sounds like you are talking about something I am unfamiliar with...I'll research it more.

  This was G14S3, I believe.
  Basically, beginners can choose a destiny right off the bat, and depending on their destiny they're automatically given skills that automatically rank.
  For example, if you pick the Warrior Destiny, you get Evasion and Assault Smash at character creation, and at a certain cumulative level (they're a bit unorthodox and spread out), they rank themselves up, up to rA, and this applies to most melee skills. You still have to spend the AP, but you don't have to actually train the skill. Same goes for all the other destinies, but I don't know exactly which skills you get and at what levels.
  But, once the beginner service wears off, the skills don't rank themselves anymore.
  
  So, it creates a bit of a snafu if you want to make your life easier when it comes to ranking skills. I would actually recommend that newbies DO use this 'free ranking-up', because they can change destinies every rebirth (newbie 24-hour rebirth included) and they can try out/rank up skills, and before the beginner service is up, they can just reset at Duncan if they don't like them.
  
  Edit: Wiki says you can rank "most skills related to your destiny" up to rA, and for Alchemists, you can rank AM to rB.
  Also, newbies get an item pack and a unique title upon creation, so you might want to give what type of character you want to be some thought before picking your first destiny.
  
  It should also be noted for the title, if you change destinies, your title does not change. I switched my Elf from Warrior Destiny to Mage Destiny, and he still had 'the Aspiring Warrior' title.
  
  Hilariously enough, if you choose the Ranger Destiny for Giants, they get a Longbow and 300 arrows like any other class.
  
  
  I can try to figure out which levels give which skill to rank up for all destinies, (my human will be melee, my giant will have mage destiny, and my elf will have ranger destiny, and i'll use a second account to make a character with alchemist destiny), then i'll post it here.
  
  Edit: Here you go, a diary of my adventures so far. Not done with Day 1 yet. Yes, my map drawing is quite crude, I know.
  
  
  Edit2: CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP /RAGE
  I just realized that my account isn't covered under the Beginner services anymore because I USED to have a character that was BARELY over 100 total a few months ago...can't get skill resets or daily rebirth. Sigh.
  
  So yeah, I can't do this guide, at least not on this account. :\...
  Well, I can start a new account, but at the moment i'm really discouraged because I spent basically my whole day today doing this, and I really don't want to have to start over. I'll probably get over it in a day or two, but this sucks.

  First, homestead seeds are NEVER on sale. Just try buying them. The most valuable seeds will be based on how much exp they give.
  
  

  [Image: http://i54.tinypic.com/2czykxj.png]

  
  
  Strawberry seeds would only be about 1-2k each or 10-20k a stack.
  Tomato 2-3k Each.
  Eggplant 5-6k Each
  Cabbage 10k Each
  Pumpkin 20k Each
  
  Its not a huge moneymaker but if your selling them someone will buy since...you can never find them when you want them.
  
  And as I wrote in the guide you should be doing this for 3 alts a day maximizing thier stead growth. At minimum you should have 2 stacks a day to sell of seeds your not using. Mostly depends on luck. in 10 days a new player should reasonably have 500k+ in the bank doing this.
  
  Holywater is still a great way to make money for new players as well as farming.

  
  
  I got eight for 4,000.

  Great Guide! Especially the Leveling and Rebirthing.
  
  A couple things, if you still update this guide,
  Will now determines Fighter Damage
  Luck increases chances of lucky bonuses and finishes.
  Any Grocery Store Part-time gives seeds
