EDIT: As a poster posted below this, it is important to note that these are not 100% accurate either, the only way to get good at gardening is to try it yourself, and even then gardening sometimes gives you crappy results for no reason ><

All planting should be done on waxing crescent moon phase and harvested on full moon for the best resultarus
-gold beast coins!
flowerpot any best results brass,arcane
plant tree cutting on ice day
feed1 light crystal on lightsday day
feed2 dark crystal on lightsday
harvest on windsday or lightsday
note: if using brass flower pot u do not need to feed a second crystal results 1-3 gold beast coins if u follow this plant instructions and check regularily u will only get gold beastcoins 100% guaranteed nothing else
-platinum beast coins!!! yes i am serious (top secret)
this only works in Arcane flower pot
plant Cactus stem on lightsday
feed1 light crystal on lightsday
feed2 nothing!
harvest on lightsday
results out of my 4 1st trys on my 4 mules all 100% success 4 platinum beastcoins each took 1 month 1 week RL checked 2 times a day
-Adaman Ore (The Best Recipe!)
this only works in Porcelain
plant cactus stem on lightsday
feed1 earth crystal on earthsday
feed2 earth crystal on WINDSDAY (I SWEAR BY THIS ONE)
harvest on either earthsday or lightsday both work well
out of 10 pots i got 7 adaman ores on one char and 8 on my other this can;t be luck
-Elemental ore (The Recipe explained!!)
works in any flower pot, best results porcelain, arcane
plant saplings on Darksday
feed1 element crystal same element day as crystal
feed2 same element crystal, Darksday (the second crystal should be fed on the same element day u planted the sapling)
harvest on the day strongest the day you planted in this case Lightsday
*note for light and dark ore best results are to do everything same element minus harvesting should be harvested on the day strongest the day u planted so if u planted on darksday harvest lightsday
using this method i have had as much as 6 elemental ore out of 10 pots and that is amazing
my worst has been 2 thus far using that combo
-Gold nuggets+saplings (bonus Prize for growing saplings from tree cuttings)
pot any best arcane, porcelain
plant tree cutting on iceday
feed1 nothing
feed2 nothing
harvest on windsday or ice day (DOES NOT MATTER)
you get 100% chance to get saplings as long as your plant is
kept alive
u get random 1-2 saplings but with all the flowerpots minus arcane or porcelain u have a 1% chance that your harvest will yield 8 gold nuggets no randomness either will be or won;t if using porcelain u have a 5% chance of gold nuggets and if using arcane flowerpot a much better chance like 20% for gold nuggets
I forgot to add don;t u guys tell anyone about this keep it between us i am not telling anyone my game name my link will ban me for giving away this unknow recipe here it is for all you lucky fu ks that read this
- MonoChromatic Rock (Rare can only have 1 TOP SECRET)
