Morning Glory : FarmVille Seed #47: a complete rundown

Tuesday seed #47 was introduced in FarmVille: Morning Glory. It is also the 8th flower in Farmville. And it is absolutely worthwhile to put this one to the front of your Mastership Wish List.

Let's do a little rundown on the new seed.

First of all… what is it? Let's do a bit of education from wikipedia: Morning glory is a common name for over 1,000 species of flowering plants in the family Convolvulaceae, whose current taxonomy and systematics is in flux. Morning glory species belong to many genera  The flower usually lasts for a single morning and dies in the afternoon. On a cloudy day, the flower may last until night. New flowers bloom each day. The flowers usually start to fade a couple of hours before the petals start showing visible curling. They prefer full sun throughout the day and mesic soils. Some morning glories, such as Ipomoea muricata, are night blooming flowers. In some places such as Australian bushland, morning glories develop thick roots and tend to grow in dense thickets. They can quickly spread by way of long creeping stems. By crowding out, blanketing and smothering other plants, morning glory has turned into a serious invasive weed problem.

Within FarmVille the Flower lasts for something longer: after 12 hours (thanks) the Morning Glory is ready for harvesting.

Looking purely at Revenue the Morning Glory takes a 34th spot between the Sweet Potato and the Squash, so revenue wise it is not so interesting.

When we take the revenue per hour of the Morning Glory the same goes, it takes a spot a place #21.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe the pure profit of the Morning Glory would bring change to it. But as you can see it is at the bottom of the list at spot  #37.

And the profit per hours is of course also not the best:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even within the domain of the flowers themselves it falls in the middle, by far not so good as the sunflowers but better than the daffodils.

When we look at the mastership chances we finally find a … number 1 position! (that is always cool for new things). The morning glory, when Mastered, delivers an extra XP of 6 (!) with a chance of 0.2 of getting that extra XP while harvesting your crops. So by multiplying the chance with the Mastership XP we get an extra 1.2 XP on average for this new crop the Morning Glory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And how does the mastership table looks like for the Morning Glory? Actually… Pretty Good! It is in the bottom of the list of amount of time it costs to master a seed. With a field of 400 Squares you can get the Morning Glory Mastery Sign within 3.91 days.

 

 

 

 

By harvesting a total of 3000 plots / squares of Morning Glory you get the third Mastery Progress Star and thus the Mastery Sign. And of course this will count against your Flower Power Ribbon (10000 for the blue ribbon, so 1/3 of the amount you need for the blue ribbon)

Finally, the chances of getting a Perfect Bunch to give to your friends is also uh the other chance.

   thanks so much for your blog. i check it almost every day. just a head's up, it takes 12 hours for morning glory to harvest, not 8 hours, as your blog entry says. i don't know if that messes up your calculations, but i just thought you might want to know. have a good one!FB/FV: danny81381

   your calculations for "time to master" are wrong. Example: Morning Glory, 12 hours to harvest, 3000 needed, 400 squares available.your calculation: it takes 90 hours, what is incorrectreason: you can harvest 2800 in 84 hours (2800 / 400). following your calcualtion it takes only 6 hours to harvest the remaining 200, which is impossible because it takes 12 (time to harvest for morning glory). your error was that you assumed the time to harvest decreases per square by using more of them.so what you have to calculate is 2800 / 400 * 12 + 12 = 96This error happend to you in general, so all the other times are incorrect as well.Hope i could help you!Greeting from germany

   thank you Thorboter, greaet! I corrected this. Now I have the problem left that I need to fix the sorting order AND I had to (hopefully temporarily turn off the Disquss comments since they somehow frustrated my footer.
