What is the most efficient way to farm aloe seeds?

[emitfudd]

I just discovered you can put 3 aloe in the dryer to create 1 aloe seed. Since 1 aloe seed will produce 5 aloe that means you are only gaining 2 aloe each time. Is there any other method that is more efficient besides going out and harvesting aloe seeds with the sickle?

Gardening in Conan Exiles is quite underwhelming, to put it in nice.
Get a good sickle and harvest them with that, you will get more aloe than you need.

With 3 crude planters I was able to turn 100 aloe into about 1K in a couple of hours of running back and forth between the planters and the drying rack.

Next time I come across aloe I will be curious to see how many I can harvest with my obsidian sickle with the advanced fitting to increase harvest rate.

Lol only 1k in few hours?

In 1 hour of farming aloe with a sickle I can get atleast 10k+ this is on official servers

Grab the best sickle you can make and take a trip along the southern edge of the southern river. You'll harvest mountains of aloe leaves which you can use to craft HP potions.

I agree with what both BigBombz and DarkFire said.

Yeah, the main reason to farm aloe, honestly, is because you've built your base somewhere that it's a huge PITA to get to any aloe harvesting spots.

Though I guess that'll be getting easier if you can corrupt yourself to the point of a flying bat ride. A bat-ride to get there easier, and only 50% the health left to heal!

While I don't completely disagree with you it's never really a major problem (though it can take a while) to get to a good aloe harvesting location on the Exiled Lands map even if you haven't unlocked map rooms yet.

Once you have unlocked map rooms and your bracelet is attuned to some of the obelisk locations it becomes rather easy. Just drop a couple map rooms in key locations on the map and travel becomes very easy, especially if you bring a mount, and that's even if you build your base in a remote location. The good aloe harvesting areas on the map are within a very reasonable distance of at least one obelisk and no matter where you build you're never a huge distance from an obelisk.

I do use the dryer and planter method to grow some aloe (and other things) because once you get it going it's unlimited as long as you can supply enough bark and compost. Since you can also dry plant fiber to get more seeds you can keep the cycle going indefinitely if you've got a couple stabled horses to make manure. It's viable, but unless you have a large setup it isn't fast.
