* You will need some flat or nearly flat tiles. The steepest slope allowed for farming is 8.
* You will need seeds. Botanize and forage on grass or steppe tiles. Sometimes a helpful neighbor will hook you up with a couple of seeds if you can't find the specific seed you are looking for. Some plants require you to pick seeds from the seeds plant or crush the plantit, others can be planted whole (you can crush or pick seeds on wemp, make sure you choose pick seeds)
* Now you You must prepare the tiles for planting. Select If the tile isn't already dirt, use a rake tool shovel to pack the ground and then choose on the tile. Once all of your tiles are turned to dirt you are ready to plantcultivate it.
* Select your seeds and choose plant.
* If you weed your fields every day as they grow you have a chance of getting one extra at harvest. Plus it is a good way to gain farming experience at low levels.
* Seeds will take 3 to 5 days to grow to harvest height. You will have the option to harvest them before they are ready so be careful not to do that.
* Until you reach level 20 farming you will not be able to tell by examining when they are ready to be harvested. You will need to use visual clues. The plants will lose their greenish color or have flowers on top. See table below for more information and the [[farming]] page for pictures and more information.
* To harvest grains (wheat, oat, barley, rye) you must use a scythe.
* Soon after they are full grown they will turn to weeds. Check them everyday if possible. If they turn to weeds you will have to rake them and try again.
