Greenifier Question [RF2]

[Guest]

Can you stack greenifier on a crop square? Is it like the Formulas where you can only use one a day or can you only use one total? Does it need to be applied to seeds? Do you need to reseed each time you want to level up the crop?

Thanks for the help in advance!

[CarpeMelinda]

I don't know about the stacking. I had to put the greenifier on after I planted the seeds, and had to add it on after replanting the leveled up crops.

[Guest]

Thank you! So then greenifier has to be applied to seeds and can only be applied once per crop square? You have to re-plant the leveled seeds to raise it again?

[CarpeMelinda]

I planted my seeds and then put the greenified on one square. And then you have to pick that one veggie and put it in your seed maker and keep repeating the process.

I got this info from a yahoo questions board.

Greenifier is the key to one of the best ways to make money in the game.

If you drop a batch of greenifier on a just-planted seed the crop that seed will produce will be one level higher than the seed used to create it. Greenifier will not work after the planet has sprouted. Greenifier also only works on one square at a time, meaning that if you through one greenifier on a planted square, only that one square will get the benefit. If you use greenifier on a re-growing plant then that plant will always gain the befit; as long as you don't chop the plant down.

The second requirement is just as simple. On the 7th (the second holiday) of any season talk to the guy that hangs out outside the park. He will sell you the seed maker for 1000 gold. You will find the seed maker in your house.

What you do is plant a crop and use the greenifier on a single square. When you harvest the crop, the leveled up crop will be in a different inventory box than all the others. Take that +1 crop and throw it into the seed maker. This will turn that crop into a seed of the same level. You should then plant that seed and use another greenifier to get to the next level of crop. Repeat until you are planting level 10 crops.

How does this make you money? When you sell something, you get its selling cost MULTIPLIED by its level. For isntance if a level 1 radish sells for 160 gold, then a level 10 radish goes for 1600! Level 10 is the maximum any crop can get to, even if its seed is a higher level. I would use the dungeons to grow your crops for this sort of thing, since their season never changes.

This can net you massive amounts of money, especially for fast re-growing crops like strawberries and sweet potatoes. It isn't the best way to do this for something like pineapple, which takes a VERY long time to grow. It also has no effect on fodder grass.

You can also level up seeds by trading them. If you use the shell on the beach to trade with other players, the traded object gains one level. You can trade back and forth between yourself and a friend to get level 10 seeds very quickly.

Thank-you! So I guess that greenifier can only be used once per seed square and only while seeds. Getting those level 10 tomatoes may take a while longer than I thought... Thanks for everyone's help!

:/ that info was for RF1. I wonder if it's changed for RF2? Because i'd really like to level up my tomatoes all at once, without repeatedly chopping them down in Blessia and replanting them. (I'm assuming you're growing them for the seafood pizza competition? XP)

[Guest]

Yup. Seafood pizza. Curse you, impossible requirements. I wonder if anyone has tried it in RF2 because chopping down my tomatoes every crop is a little unappealing and also doesn't give me enough time to grow a high enough level tomato. It would be really nice if greenifier stacked

[Misti Rose]

o.o Maybe you can test it out by not saving and sleeping...for a while. XD To see if it works? I'm not in 2nd gen yet, but i know about the horrible requirements of the pizza D:

[Guest]

I'm actually not in Second Gen yet either, but I'm trying to map out my strategy before I switch over (i.e. is it worth it leveling up enough to produce a bunch of greenifier to try and win the competition in that first year or should I just hope to get some high level crops with Inquisitive Waltz- I know for onion at least that that's possible). Yes. I am one of those super-control game freaks who is incapable of playing a game without becoming an over-leveled « Harvest Goddess » Monster. But I want my level 10 tomatoes!

[Misti Rose]

D: too bad trading doesnt level up anymore. Although i always found that a bit cheap >.<

[Kupo]

Hmm, I doubt it stacks. You can probably only use it once per crop and only during the "seed" stage. Then you'll have to cut down your tomatoes and plant them again (with the seeds from the old tomatoes), then re-greenify them... etc.
It isn't very profitable in RF2 because the price of the item doesn't increase as much as RF1 per level; only by a little bit, so higher-level items aren't that great (though they do still sell for more).

Well... the problem is you can only get one Greenifier in 1st Gen. In 2nd Gen you can make it, but it takes a Pharmacy skill level of 41 to have a 10% chance at succeeding (the skill level of Greenifier is 51 - that'll get you a 100% chance). Which is a lot.
What I would suggest... is waiting until 2nd Gen, upgrading your fishing rod as soon as possible and getting yourself a level 10 squid and shrimp. Then, your ketchup only has to be level 2 (or maybe 3; probably 2 though to make a level 5 seafood pizza.

[Misti Rose]

:/ so is "leveling up" weapons way easier than food items? Because i hear about people having level 10 swords all the time.. And also, what does level on weapons do in RF2? More attack power?

[Guest]

-Grins- Well, since trading would take all the paranoia out of it, I'm actually glad that it doesn't work either. I'd still like to know if greenifier stacks this time around, but maybe I'll just take my chances with Inquisitive Waltz. Since it seems likely it doesn't stack, then I'll just try with IW since catching Level 10s with the fishing rod seems a bit tricky. Thanks for everyone's help! Although actually, you can get more than one Greenifier in Generation 1- if you stick around for awhile. -Whistles-

[Misti Rose]

You must have a lot of patience, my friend. Are you talking about redoing festivals for 10 years? >.>

Anywho, i don't think catching a lvl 10 fish would be that hard with an UPGRADED rod. My old rickety rod from Barrett already can catch lvl 6 fish.
