Vanilla plant - Gardening
Unfortunately, the loss of a friend's house costs me the most extensive seed library anyone could have. Never mind the loss of the HOUSE and in a really prime spot... and everything within it.
I was lucky to have a "seed vault" tucked away in the town Savings & Loan of all the basic plants and of all colors. Normally, I only grow "normal" color plants for sale. I did, however, have 3 "mutant" plants in all possible colors. I honestly cant remember what 2 of them were... but the most important was Vanilla.
Unfortunately, UOGuide did not seam to ever update this. (If it did, I cant find it.) This would fall in to "group 5" and spawn naturally on Exodus Minions and Overseers. They are really hard on pets!
BUT... my question is... what crosses to magically produce the seeds via the known common plants?

No other way around this - your question has so much detail - I've found 2 great pages for you.

I've actually learned a lot here, I've never got into this, or cooking.
I may need to flatten my castle on Europa, to turn it into a forest...
OR - anyone on Siege got a spare 18x18 flat spot for me ?
OR I could make a 3-4 tiered borg cube forest... pillars up the sides, so it looks like a multi story car park style forest....
And it doesnt solve the question.
Imagine a simple 18x18 house, looks like a cube. We had 2. Each of the grow floors had 25 large raised beds. 1 of the houses was more a full service plant shop, so the floor was clear. That left 7 levels, x25 beds... 175 beds. Each bed makes 9 plants at a time. If you were growing for clippings for dye, baskets, or resources... thats 1575 plants per go. If you were growing just resources... that would mean you could grow 12,600. (1575 x 8). Now... if you really want to blow your mind, that comes out to an average of 3.150 million gold per grow.
Real trouble? Real life investment of 3 beds per 20$.
Frankly, I own only 20 beds... looking for 1 more. The house above you would never guess is a functional beautiful design that is far from a cube! hehe

No really. I did this before. I dont remember the magic combination. You take 1 type plant and cross it with a second type plant... and get vanilla
This is how the whole collection of plants came to be from the very basic seeds the bog beasts carried at the start of this whole program. If you started from scratch, you only had red, blue, and yellow. This thus becomes how we have 12 different colors and so on.
There are 3 mutants you can get from cross pollination. One is Vanilla. It can be grown in 12 colors. The one that spawns from monsters as normal. I cant remember the third... however I did remember the second. Its a 4-barrel cacti. So... the question is still open.

Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
However... UOGuide did fail... its not a big deal. My memory is a bit foggy on all topics of UO game information because its almost endless... I think I actually "fell" across this by accident when building the origional seed library YEARS ago.
Out of those 175 beds I had access too, I would run experiments every so often on just 1 floor... or 25 beds worth. What was the worst that could happen? They all got chopped in to fuel for dye?
I know its really a hard question... does anyone have these seeds already?

try doing a little work next time instead of getting pissed at other people.
I'm on Atlantic. Have easy access to Izumo, Pac, and Napa.
I have a friend that can help me from Great Lakes.
Anything else, I'd need more help... and that may be within reach too.
Please let me know? Thanks.
