For those of you not familiar with the game Final Fantasy XI, its an
MMORPG that can be played on both the PC and the PS2.  In FFXI, you
have to ability to "garden", which is to grow plants in your house
using pots, seeds, and elemental crystals.  Many websites post recipes
showing what you might harvest when you plant a particular seed on a
particular day in a particular pot feeding it a particular crystal on
a particular day...yadda yadda. A good website that describes
gardening is http://www.swapsonian.com/pikko/
  One particular harvest that I am interested in is Elemental Ore,
i.e. Fire Ore, Earth Ore, Water Ore, Wind Ore, Ice Ore, Lightning Ore,
Light Ore, and Dark Ore. There has been recipes posted on English
sites and forums, but I have not found one that guarantees an
elemental ore harvest, but merely a chance of one. My request is that
a search be done on Japanese websites to find a recipe for
elemental ore and, hopefully, find one that has a caveat saying there
is a high probability of reaping elemental ore.
