Green Kale and Garlic as Wild Windsown Weeds

[xyzzy57]

Has anyone received either of the two new crops: garlic and green kale - by drying a wild windsown weed?

I have not, and am rather suspecting that it's not currently possible.

I'd love to know for sure that this doesn't happen, since those are my two lowest crops by quality. That might allow me to drop more wwws, rather than bringing them home and receiving something way lower quality than what I already have of that crop.

Alternatively, and more feasibly, I'd love to know that garlic and/or green kale are available this way, so I could go on hoping for easy improvement.

so Wild Windsown Weeds or WWW as it's called are affected by the crops in the area. So IF only in that area, lets say everybody only has wheat planted, then the WWW will only turn into the wheat seeds. Plus the WWW Quality is affected by the quality of the planted crop.

Go exploring around you area and see if your neighbors have kale or garlic planted. If you do not see any planted, then you cannot expect the WWW to produce those.



At least that was how it was explained to me some time ago.

I've been to a lot of areas picking www's; I have a habit of taking dugouts through random vortexes, exploring and picking every www I find on the other side. That can be very useful, particularly with the shifting quality nodes; you never know what you'll find that's higher q across a vortex - until vortex shifts or the next new moon, whichever comes first.

Also I'm growing both garlic and green kale myself already, and have given garlic to at least one of my neighbours, along with pumpkin, that's been hard to get locally. So me not seeing them at all isn't *just* a matter of only looking in one area, or one where no one grows those crops.

It is true that I don't grow *many* of either plant. 10 of each, IIRC. But that's more than "none".

I suppose it may be that all the kale and garlic www's are very low quality - so I drop them as not going to be better than what i already have.

FWIW, I'm also noticing that I never "cap" www's - i.e. I never find ones at my farming skill level. I presume that's what i get for doing the farmer credo early - my skill is too high for conditions. I.e. precious few people (if any) have crops at that level, and they aren't local to me.

FWIW, my current best seed is Q 98. Hemp, rather to my surprise.

I also made a big search for pepper and pumpkin I lacked, and I never dropped a single green kale or garlic.
It seems to me they simply were not enabled to www spawn mechanic.

I have gotten green kale from WWW but not garlic. Still want me some tho
