How to grow good mushrooms/mints

Neclord · Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 3:56 pm Post subject:

Growing either was always to much of a pain for me, I never did use much magic in Suikoden except against bosses so i just gave it up for the meantime. I still have yet to see the mushroom vs. mint war. For some reason I never can get it to happen. suikoguild, , is right there needs to be a FAQ on this.

That war is very disturbing... After all that i didn't go into that room again.. Unless of course it's another playthrough... It seems that Mint are VERY helpful.

I agree with, kuwaizair... It's very reminiscent of past Suikodens... Can't believe how that went...

I got it down pat now. But then, in the battle, a funny thing happened. I was so interested in what all the special commands did that I up and lost. I get so caught up in planning my strategy that the whole thing passed me by... :cry: All those poor mushrooms and mints. Couldn't they have just talked it all out? Negotiation is a gift that I would have been happy to share. *sniff*

*snicker*

Scary? How is it scary? Does it look just like the army battles from Suikoden 1?..I mean exactly or just similar?

Like I said I haven't gotten a battle yet, kinda curious but I can't seem to get it to happen. I probably did something wrong i'm sure.

i'm having problems growing, I'll give the guy what I want, and when I go to check for a mint I never get one, then I talk to him he asks for what I want, why are my goods disspearing?

To grow good mushrooms and mint, you have to choose the appropriate answers for each stage and depending on what answer you chose for each of the different developments you'll get a certain no. points at the end of each stage. To get good mushroom/mint you'll need between 3 to -2 points.

I actually did a lot of it on New Game+ after I bought the guide because they have the table and chart for growing of mushroom and mint. The war is to obtain mixed herbs which replenishes all MP. Not that I need a lot of it, I just sold what I grew, they actually sell of quite well, except that I kept all of the mint and herbs.

I like Nao. He's freaky but funny.

Note: there may be errors..
A, B and C refer to the options given in each question. The number in each bracket refers to the points obtain after each question. By the way, this chart in from the Strategy Guide. Yup, that's it
here's the chart/table I mentioned earlier:

For Mushroom

Spores
Question 1
A [3] B [0] C[-4]
Question 2
A [-1] B [7] C [-8]
Question 3
A [-4] B [4] C [-1]
Question 4
A[2] B[6] C[-3]
Question 5
A [-6] B [3] C [0]

Development stage
Question 1
A [12] B [1] C[-9]
Question 2
A [-6] B [5] C [-2]
Question 3
A [-3] B [5] C [-1]
Question 4
A [1] B [6] C [-3]
Question 5
A [-6] B [4] C [1]

Harvesting time
Question 1
A [-9] B [-1] C[6]
Question 2
A [9] B [1] C [-6]
Question 3
A [-6] B [1] C [8]
Question 4
A[-12] B[-1] C[8]
Question 5
A [12] B [0] C [-6]

For Mint

Seeds
Question 1
A [6] B [0] C[-7]
Question 2
A [-7] B [-6] C [1]
Question 3
A [4] B [3] C [0]
Question 4
A[-3] B[-5] C[5]
Question 5
A [-4] B [0] C [3]

Development stage
Question 1
A [-7]B [4] C[1]
Question 2
A ([-10] B [1] C [12]
Question 3
A [-4] B [5] C [1]
Question 4
A [0] B [9] C [-12]
Question 5
A (-6) B (-1) C (3)

Harvesting time
Question 1
A [9] B [1] C[-12]
Question 2
A [8] B [2] C [-7]
Question 3
A [5] B [-1] C [-4]
Question 4
A[-8] B(1) C(-6)
Question 5
A [12] B [-1] C [-8]

Yup that's it. Just do the math and try to get the total points after harvesting to be between -3 and 3 and you'll get good mint/mushroom.

Hope this helps.
Have fun.

So far I've only tried to grow the mushrooms, and I keep forgetting to just select the first answers. I have managed to get normal mushrooms,though and in the process of trying to remember the right orders for them I got a lot of bad ones and still didn't find the right orders. So I thought I'd list all the bad mushrooms I've managed to find so far. I wonder if the mints have all the same stat. decreasing properties? I don't know who would actually WANT to use these horrible things, but if you care to take a look at them then here are the ones I've found so far:

1. Poisonous Mushroom
2. Sleepy Mushroom
3. Bucket Mushroom
4. Silence Mushroom
5. Mysterious Mushroom
6. Confusion Mushroom
7. Gloomy Mushroom

I also always get that thing where he will ask me how i want it.. then when I come back later he just asks me again and I don't get any Mushrooms out of it. It's a huge paine in the elbow. :twisted:

i tell one of them what i want but it doesn't ever show up i know where to grab it because i made 1 mushroom before but how long is the wait for a mushroom/mint to be made and am i not spose to leave the ship or something they just arnt showing up in that little bag.

It takes about 7 minutes only for them to ask you to grow them again. That means you can go to the training hall, level up, or go fishing in order to pass that time very quickly.

SARS pointed this out earlier, but if you choose to grow mints, if you keep selecting the FIRST choice all the time, you will get a mint at the end. That's a very easy way to grow mints.
