 To grow onions, plant an [[Onion Seeds|onion seed]] in a sandy area.  Water the plant immediately, and water it again each time it changes size.  Harvest once the option appears.
-Unlike the other vegetables, onions are not harmed by over-watering. It appears that watering onions resets their growth timer, making it take longer for the onion to reach the next stage of growth. (see [[Talk:Onions|discussion]] for details)
+Onions and [[eggplant]] are the only vegetables that are not harmed by over-watering. It appears that watering onions resets their growth timer, making it take longer for the onion to reach the next stage of growth. (see [[Talk:Onions|discussion]] for details)
 After manually harvesting 500 onions, you gain the option to automatically accumulate them as an [[Offline Chores|offline chore]].

−	I was tipped off in RP chat that people had noticed yields increasing as they went south, so while I ran to SE for seeds, I started test planting randomly. There seem to be kind of onion 'bumps' as you travel north to south; at my CP near ULead in RP I was getting 4, but as I went south my yields went up to 10, and decreased back to 4 at some point before crossing over into 7L. Yields started picking up again as I went south, peaking at 12 at the lake N of ULead in SE, and were back down to 7 as I got close to SE UWorship. There's probably a formula of some sort there, but I was just running and not making notes! -Noctilucent

−	~~Best yield I found so far is 1100, 0 which produced 14 onions per planting. The downside of this spot is it's pretty far from water. - Maximus~~

−	~~Best SPOT I've found is 1111, 277 which yielded 12 per planting but is right next to water. - Maximus~~

 Based on tests with a lot of [[Lower Egypt Advanced Research Network]] this evening, we believe we have found it (simplified version):
 * There are avatar-specific "magic" trees, likely based on some hash function.  These seem to be every 100 or so coords, so there's probably one near your camp.  These can be any type of tree, and different "magic" trees for the same avatar may be different types.

 * Yay finally found my magic tree. Cursed Tree at 1384, 3952; Magic Tree at 1446, 3880. Distance is ~95.02 coords.
 * Harvesting Magic, Cursed, and then normal, I get one harvest of 0/2, one of 2/1, and all the rest 4/1.
-* Similarly, Harvesting Cursed, normal, and THEN Magic, I get the same results as above.
