Quest Item(s) Needed Dayring Blossom x 8, Moonsoul Bloom x 6

You should try and collect both types of flowers whenever you see them during your travels around the Wildlands. Make a point of this to save you a lot of trouble later on.

You will probably naturally collect this amount during your travels around the Wildlands. There is no need to go out of your way to collect it really, as long as you diligently fight each monster you see.

During your trip to the Temple of the Goddess, you will probably encounter enough Ectopuddings to obtain the Wonder Gel. Vibrant Ooze is easy to come by because Miniflans appear in quite large numbers around the Grasslands.

You must complete “A Father’s Request” and “The Old Man and the Field” side quests to gain access to the Gysahl and Tantal Green plots. Sylkis Greens can be grown in Moogle Village by speaking with Mogella after completing “Peace and Quiet, Kupo”. You will need Vegetable Seeds to plant in all the plots.

Hunting The Hunter

Quest Item(s) Needed Green Monster Moss x 8

You will need to kill a lot of Chocobo Eaters to get 8 Green Monster Moss. You can find a lot in Eremite Plains but also on the highways linking the Wildlands to Dead Dunes and Luxerion from Day 9. Day 6 is a good day to hunt them because by Day 7, they receive quite a substantial stat boost though Lightning can cope regardless.
