Talk:Pepper Plant

Yield

Anyone know if there is any way to increase the yield of the plants?

its random 1-5 per plant. The time taken to grow the plants does not affect anything. --Chong McBong 16:42, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I think it would be a good idea for the article to specifically say that the number of peppers is random. People ask about this extremely frequently in the form. --Winelight 20:36, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

We only assume that it's random? It may be deterministic. --Hyperchao 21:43, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Indeed you are right. So the only thing we could say with any certainty, would be something along the lines of "There is no known way to influence the number of peppers picked, such as by leaving the plant to 'grow'." --Winelight 10:54, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

That's a good way of saying something is random :) I don't think too much should be read into any of the numbers. Everything in the game is based on die rolls, possibly with minor modifiers for rank and luck. Otherwise we should automatically assume it is completely random. If not it will be impossible to write most of the articles based on loot without listing all the caveats if we were to assume otherwise. -- Grexx 11:31, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

I think the article is fine as it, with the word "randomly" inserted. What counts is whether is helpful to, and not misleading, the reader. --Winelight 12:25, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Missing Images

Just noticed there isn't an 'inferno pepper plant' image link. Don't think it's wildly important though, they all look pretty much the same apart from the colour. WyndStryke 08:49, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

It would be nice to include Inferno Pepper Plant image link. -- Ralphminer 16:51, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm having problems with my image hosting service. Here's a link that should be Inferno Havarti: http://pics.livejournal.com/camomiletea/pic/0016aq5g I'll come back in a bit, to see if it's actually there... -- camomiletea 20:23, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

But we're missing the plant not the cheese... :s ____m. 09:52, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Direct link for plant is here: http://98.129.188.217/mousehunt/images/items/convert/whitepepperplant.gif

for pepper: http://98.129.188.217/mousehunt/images/items/crafting/whitepepper.gif

Someone else can upload. --Hyperchao 05:19, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Those links didn't work for me, and I have not yet reached the point in-game where I can find the current image links, so for now, I just stuck in placeholders for the inferno plant and pepper. ericb 12:34, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Larry's Loot Lexicon to the rescue, with the magic word white_pepper_plant_convertible. Image now added. -- ericb ^talk_contr 13:19, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
