It's such a pity that the plant we use for alchemy, when it's the correct one, is taken from us. This is not a pity party and some may have heaps of seeds but i only have 1 enchanted forest seed and others may be in the same position, so it's not just all about me. I have been hunting for more seeds and unless i'm wrong, it's only gibbons and blossomcrown hummers that drop them and the last advert for the latter was 1 month ago...I thought that once i need to use it for the orangutan vase and even if it is in my toucan vase, i will put the amethyst plant in my GH but you can't do that if it ends up being used to make the vase up....it will just vanish then will have no seeds to then attract it to start the vase off. Not the end of the world and not everyone has heaps of seeds and i just have to suck it up but it's just the fact that my one and only seed will just vanishing into thin air....:(

Yes you right I lost mine making toucan vase .. the thing is not other critters or more variety to hunt for enchanted seeds .. the hummingbirds section is a desert zone right now  .. its not like with the forest seeds that we have plenty of critters to hunt for them .. unfortunatelly that lack of variety of critters to more ways of obtain enchanted seeds will make this new set too hard I guess .. in my case I keep working on quests to reach exctint vases which means probably accessing to gold reward next year If I am lucky. Another thing I think Mike could let us know how many sets still missing to complete challenge and when they will be released.. so one can place in time .. lets say the missing sets will be out in December just an idea

This is my biggest complaint about this too. I had to use higher level seeds for my vases and now I am back to zero seeds. They could at least have all been enchanted rubies - I have a few of those kicking around. I wonder if he just assumed everyone got their enchanted seeds when doing the rainforest vases - which I never completed, so no, I don't have the seeds.

Yes that’s such a shame it’s takes theses seeds there so hard to get I only have a few myself. I wish he had done a bit of an easier challenge since the chicks was so hard.

i totally agree with everyone on here especially when we have to find 10 of each and then lose the seed i would also like to know when the vases are ending also?

**EDIT**
From my original post.....
I only have 1 enchanted amethyst seed....the one needed for orangutans......not just 1 seed, total :)

We have been “allowed” to skip 1 set … A lot are skipping the Gold Dodo & Gold Ibex) .. and now we have got Gold Orangutan & Gold Toucan …
Now it’s up to each player to make a decision.. sorry to say .. Start doing Quests and collect scrolls OR start hunting for those endangered seeds … If it takes months, so what 🤷🏻‍♀️
There will always be players with less seeds, less gold, less what-so-ever … but why does is always has to be made easier because some can’t do it ? And again; no one is telling you to do those Gold critters

I'm not saying i want it easier and am always one for saying that....It's just an observation. Yes, i have made the decision already, to not bother with the dodo/ibex ones because i don't want to do the scrolls, so i am just sucking it up as i said and doing these.

*Edit*...Adding to that, i am doing them because Mike said there will be a reward, that's the only reason.

But all plants have been taken from us when we got the perfect match in Alchemy.
Why should that be changed now ? Just because we are low on those ?
I am reading the posts as “please don’t take away our seed” .. which equals; please make it easier 🤷🏻‍♀️
