Description

The farming skill contains the sowing, farming and harvesting of crops. Crops can take several days to grow, during which a farmer should farm the field tiles to remove weeds. This will improve the harvest. Quality and amount of the harvest increases when you have a high Farming skill. Quality of the seed also effects the growth time of the fields.

The seeds needed to start farming can be found while botanizing or from harvesting the crops. Harvested cotton and pumpkins must be picked/crushed to recover seeds for replanting.

Crops can be harvested at any time after the first growth level, but harvesting too early or too late results in a bad crop. Level 20 farmers can determine the optimal height by examining a field. It is also possible to use a Small Barrel. When a field reaches optimal height it will be the same height as the barrel, or a little taller. The color of the field is also possible marker, as it changes to a yellowish green when ripe. Not recommended in the dark. Template:Smiley

Examine details

Anyone can verify if a field needs tending. "The crops grow steadily" means the field is in order, while "It could use a touch from the rake or some other farming tool" means it must be tidied with a rake. If the description mentions "rotting old weeds", the field is overgrown and can no longer be harvested.

Level 10 farmers can determine which type of crop is growing in a field, except at the lowest growth level ("freshly sown").

Level 20 farmers can determine the growth level of a field. The levels are, chronologically sorted:

  1. You see a patch of freshly sown field.
  2. A few green blades pop out of the ground.
  3. Small sprouts with many blades grow here.
  4. The sprouts are growing, a bit above half their mature height.
  5. The field is almost at full height.
  6. The field is at full height and ready to harvest!
  7. (overgrown levels here)
