I always want to buy a new gardening spell, but I can't. It is so much gold. I would rather buy a crafting recipe. I cant have really good plants because I need good pest spells. So I hope you consider lowering the price? Thank you for reading my message.
As you quest, save your gold until you can afford the better pest spells.
Let plants with unmanageable pests reach elder. Leave them in place until you buy the better pest control. Then harvest, replant, and now you have all their pests covered.
