I don’t think “out of date” applies here…or “quicker”, for that matter. They are two different methods to get to the same Blue flower offspring. The one I posted is four steps, with a 95% chance of success in less than 47 days. The one you posted has six steps, plus a seventh step that requires you to test your flowers to make sure they’re genetically correct. I’m not sure that it’s quicker, but it definitely seems like a lot more work. But yes, by the end you do get roses that have a 25% chance of creating a Blue.

@Andy_Bates I must be missing something then, I apologize. The way it reads to me in the roses section is you have a 1/45 chance of getting a blue rose with that method in 66 days. I don’t see where it says you have a 95% chance of success in 47 days.

EDIT: I should also mention that I used the same method from the doc you posted and that @Knightsaber used. I wasn’t going to start over either when I read that. And I just got my blue rose this morning! So take that for what you will.

Man, I’m looking at a large spike this afternoon, just a heads up. I’ll let everyone know what the number ends up as:

Fingers crossed. My prices continue their downward trend and my forecast is now higher chance of continued decreasing over a large spike… I’m at 51% decreasing over about 42% large spike, so not promising here.

I went from 80% chance of failing to 100% chance of large spike this afternoon as well, so between me and @Scotch_Lufkin QT3 should be set this afternoon =)

EDIT: remind me I jynxed it when both of our prices come back at like 160… =)

LOL you fool!

It’s good, my max is 546 which would be fantastic, but it’s as low as 182. Well, that’s actually exactly double (91) what I paid for my turnips, I just realized, so I guess I can’t complain about any number it ends up being. Still, double the chance of a big spike between the two of us should make an easy time for everyone.

Well, it’s not 500s but I have turnips at 409. Only about 50 minutes left (prices projected to fall in afternoon) but if anyone’s interested Dodo code is 198TW 5SP0V.

Please don’t mind terrible state of island! Also I’m AFswitch so I probably won’t be able to respond ingame.

Also, never done this before. I assume it won’t go to sleep if I leave it alone?

It’s 8:12am here and my prices are 369 bells per turnip. If anyone’s interested, I will open up the island.

Edit: I sold a chunk of my turnips at @soondifferent’s island, and I may wait to sell the rest when I see what other people’s prices spike at this afternoon. The offer is still open if someone wants to pull the trigger at 369 though.

I think it’s 30 minutes but i’m not sure, it could be lower.

Ah thanks, I’ll leave it on my desk and wiggle it a bit then. 45 min left!

@soondifferent on my way and maybe my daughter if I can get her up in time. Thanks!

I can’t believe you’ve done this.

For the risk adverse my island is still open for 15 min!

I’m gambling! (I have enough bells in the bank that I can afford to lose.)

humblebrag

Back down to 192 now. Hope everyone had a chance to sell who wanted to!

@Knightsaber and whoever else is waiting… hopefully @Scotch_Lufkin has better news for you! Mine is only 331… I DID Jynx it.

rings the bell of shame

@Scotch_Lufkin, what time zone are you in? Trying to decide if I want to sell mine at 369 or wait for this afternoon spike.

CST, so I’ll find out what my spike looks like in about 20 minutes.

This is still a pretty good price though - I only paid 91 for mine, this is a huge profit margin.
