Let's be honest though, MANY players do gardening "not as intended" which is probably a contributor. Waiting a minute while the game tries to process too much information from too small an area seems like a fair trade.

just log off when it happens, its a lot to process and its updating your client as its doing its thing, there is a bottleneck with so much happening.

Plant All spell fails randomly,
Does it completely fail, or does it take a hot minute for all the plants to actually plant? If you're planting a lot at once sometimes it takes the game a bit to put all that together.

If you want to avoid the spins of death, do a garden spell that only affects one of the plants first THEN do the large area ones. The single affected plant will make everything update and prevent everything spinning as it updates all at once after doing a large spell. Youre welcome 👍 ( no idk if they spin bc they’re updating but it seems likely so Ive just always assumed it )

How I avoid it every time is by going in and out of the house to let the plants load and it never happens to me

Only reason they look the other way is because if they ever fixed it, the pet making community and maybe even pvp community would be pretty much dead. At this point they should either fully support and implement some official method of mass farming mega snacks or make pet making a lot easier.

I doubt that will happen. Frankly I think maintaining status quo is more than fair, considering that the way most people garden is not as intended. Gardening reaps far FAR more rewards than any other side task in the game

I used to do this but one time they went from just having needs to wilting so ever since that traumatic experience I just go with the single spell or eat the spin time

Oof

How I avoid it is just use the prevent needs spells
upper cosmos
I get the same issue with the prevent needs spells
Also, the developers say this type of gardening is allowed - they placed a 69-plant cap on the large gardening spell to avoid the "not as intended" scenario. https://www.wizard101.com/forum/housing-gardening/111-pot-garden-8ad6a41c4882c91b0148a40d1a460807#:~:text=We decided to allow floating plants but placed a limit on how many plants a gardening spell can affect. Large gardening spells can affect at most 69 plants.
One thing i have noticed that 'usually' helps is to run forward (without turning) after casting until the spell completes it's animation. For some strange reason, that seems to make a difference. 🤔

I get the same issue with the prevent needs spells
you dont if you use them before they get the needs
so you prevent needs at teen
and then they wont have needs are mature
at*
upper cosmos
That's assuming they are mature for < 48 hours
upper cosmos
and I have had it slow down on me when casting at young
solar mountain
the bug litterally cannot happen when they dont have needs
and they dont have needs at young
upper cosmos
that's a lot of extra energy to waste
solar mountain
prevent needs is literally less energy if you harvest everyday at mature
solar mountain
yes so
upper cosmos
if you are farming evil magma peas that take > 48 hours from mature to elder and casting every day, you are wasting energy
solar mountain
you cast, 24 hours later check in for mature, 24 hours later you do a harvest. you can wait another 24 hours harvest. the prevent needs wears off but they dont get any needs you harvest. you either not harvest the next day all together or just use normal needs spells. then the next day they are elder
this is also assuming you let 24 hours pass between young and mature when most ppl check after 12 hours anyways to my knowledge
upper cosmos
yes, but you are suggesting casting a 48 hour spell every 24 hours
solar mountain
so idrk what u are talking about. Unless you are just mis-informed on how the spells works
upper cosmos
that makes no sense
solar mountain
no im not? did you even read what i said
in my scenerio you are only casting 1 prevent needs
upper cosmos
I have to cast more than once because it takes over 48 hours for EMPS to get to elder from mature
solar mountain
you cast, 24 hours later check in for mature, 24 hours later you do a harvest. y...
can you please re-read this ^
do you harvest your emp's everyday
little sentinel
Um
If you don't visit the house where your plots are, the plants won't gain needs in between harvest cycles
upper cosmos
yeah, but then you are losing out on all the mature harvests
little sentinel
Um, no. The plant stops growing until you harvest the mature plants
solar mountain
12 hours approx from young to mature iirc
upper cosmos
just under 3 from planting to elder
solar mountain
you do prevent needs at young
ok even better 3 days
i usualy do couch potatoes which are 4 days
feral sonnet
@solar mountain Hi
solar mountain
anyways
you prevent needs at young
48 hour timer starts. you check in on them in 12 hours
upper cosmos
that's usually what I do, but if my energy is full and i'm about to log off, i'll cast the 48-hour spells early since the energy will be back by the time i log in again
solar mountain
your prevent needs is at 36 hours
come back in 24 hours
prevent needs is at 14 hours and you harvest once
come back in 24 hours
prevent needs has ended the plant has NO needs and you do your harvest
do nothing and come back in 24 hours. 3 days have passed and EMPS are eelder and you can harvest
upper cosmos
also, I don't live my life by when my plants get to the next stage. I log in when it's convenient for me.
solar mountain
you used ONE prevent needs in that whole process
what does that have to do with anything
its still just cheaper and better lol
upper cosmos
if my plants get to teen at three in the morning, i'm not getting up then to garden
solar mountain
i didnt even bring up the plants getting to young at any point
you can do that whenever you want
upper cosmos
"Play7122 — Today at 3:55 PM
anyways
you prevent needs at young
48 hour timer starts. you check in on them in 12 hours"
solar mountain
what does that have to do with your plants getting to young?
Idk why I am even trying to help you dont even read my messages 😭
upper cosmos
I'm not goting to schedule my life around making sure I log in to W101 to casting gardening spells before my plnants get to mature
*plants
solar mountain
what.... you literally have to check in on your plants when the reach young so they can go to mature 😭
upper cosmos
you don't read your messages either, apparently
solar mountain
have you even gardened before
upper cosmos
for like 10 years now
solar mountain
I'm not goting to schedule my life around making sure I log in to W101 to castin...
then idk how u dont know that plants have cycles and you have to check on them each cycle before they can move onto the next
im saying you pop the prevent needs right whne you check at young. not "right before" they hit mature
upper cosmos
So when i cast the 48hour spells at mature and they expire 48hours later, and i have to recast them, and the game lags, what then
solar mountain
u dont have to recast it tho?
upper cosmos
if i do only once per day, i am missing plenty of mature harvests - you can revervest ~ every 6 hours
*reharvest
solar mountain
you just talked about not making your life around planting on wiz yet you harvest every 6 hours?
upper cosmos
if it's convenient, yes
solar mountain
if thats the case just recast cause on day 2 when they dont have needs. its still cheaper than cast every single harvest you go to and they have needs
as long as you cast when they dont have needs you are fine
visit them as much as you want
upper cosmos
I don't do it when i'm sleeping, but i don't wait 24 hours between harvests either
solar mountain
the most you will have to cast is twice during a life cycle
upper cosmos
yes, and?
solar mountain
its cheaper??? and it stops the lag bug????
thats what Im trying to say the whole time
its esp cheaper if you are doing every mature harvest
upper cosmos
It lags regardless of what stage they are in, (as I said before and you obviously did not read)
opal igloo
(I still sometimes get the lag bug when casting even if they don't need it yet)
upper cosmos
it's cheaper than what?
solar mountain
skill issue ive never had it lag when they dont have needs
upper cosmos
oh yes, your 'skills' are better than mine. somehow your wizard is better at casting plant spells
i never said i was using normal seeds spells. did you even read the OP?
solar mountain
upper cosmos
that's not the OP
my mistake. 'MY' OP
BubbleHead — Today at 3:24 PM
I get the same issue with the prevent needs spells
when I said that was a lot of extra energy to waste, i was referring to casting a 48-hour spell every 24 hours
that's literally twice as much energy
foggy shadow
why would you have to cast the 48hr spell every 24
its good for 48hr
if you cast the spell halfway before it is over then it makes sense that it would be 2x the amount of energy
little sentinel
idk what yall are doing
just plant seeds, leave them to grow, come back to them at mature, deal with needs and cast 72 hr repellent, come back at elder
prisma kayak
or just check on it once every stage and just equip ur arcanum apartment and u dont have to take care of itsneeds
solar mountain
I dont think they are looking for suggestions/idea. Just pretending to read things and yap.
