This just in:

Thavnairian Onion = 2 million gil

Glazenuts spike in price as gardeners stop glazenut harvests to produce Thavnairian Onion / Krakka Root / Curiel Root / Sylkis Bud / Mimett Gourd / Tantalplant / and Pahsana Fruit.

Sigh... magicked stable broom had better be purchasable from the housing merchant npc. But those fruits... Doesn't SE know by now that anything that you limit to garden production will be in the absolute shortest supply, resulting in extremely high prices? Maybe their intention is to make chocobo raising a highly expensive process... Imagine if gardening was the only way you could acquire geysahl greens....

Thanalan III will remain in demand, probably about the same demand as now. Gardeners are already needing it for glazenut crops, so as they switch over to new crops, the demand will remain the same. I gather mine myself, in Western Thanalan, near Silver Bazaar, from 5am - 8am Eorzea time. Otherwise it is about 30k on the Lamia auction house.

It's only really the top tier gardening items that attract the high prices, and this is typically due to the yield being only one per plant. Once you're out of that tier the prices are generally very reasonable (even one tier down on the seeds that lead in). I'd honestly be pretty shocked if these plants only have a yield of 1. Probably unfounded panic about the prices being high, but obviously there's going to be a high buy in straight away until the market gets settled.

At the very least this might give gardeners something else to make money out of rather than the top tier items. That would be a good thing, beyond the top tier there's not much interesting to grow, and at least on my server Glazenuts and etc don't sell all that fast and the market is very competitive.

My plan is to hold off on raising a chocobo for a month. It's like any new toy, early adopters pay the most.
