The '''farming ''' [[skill ]] covers cultivating [[field]]s, sowing [[seeds]], tending fields the crops, and harvesting the cropsproduce. (The act  == Tools Used== * [[Rake]] - for farming* [[Scythe]] - for harvesting [[wheat]], [[barley]], [[oat]] and [[rye]]** No tool is required when harvesting any of sowing currently falls outside the scope of the skillother crops.* [[Large planter]] - for growing below ground or for aesthetics. A planter is required to grow [[mushroom]]s above or below ground.) Crops A planter can take several days be used to growmany crops above ground, during which a farmer should farm if you like the field tiles to remove weeds. This will improve the harvestlook. * Any [[Qualitycontainer]] and amount of in your inventory - Can be used to sow seeds. After seeds are put into the container activating the harvest increases when you have container will use a high Farming skillnew seed for every sow action. [[Quality]] The container can be put on the toolbelt and will show the number of seeds in the seed also effects the growth time container on top of the fieldsicon.

The seeds == Notes==* No plowing is needed to start farming can be found while . [[botanizingSeeds]] or from harvesting the cropscan be sown directly on a dirt tile to begin. Harvested * * The [[cottonmaximum slope]], on which you can sow [[wempseeds]] is 8, where 8 = (highest north-south tile border's slope) + (highest east-west tile border's slope). For example, the slope can be level EW and 8-steep NS, or it can be 4-steep EW and 4-steep NS, etc. Attempting to sow [[pumpkinseeds]] must be picked/crushed on a greater slope results in a message "The ground is not flat enough for crops to grow. You need to recover seeds for replantingflatten it first". Farm tiles function the same with a slope 8, flat or anything in between.Still need more help, please see the chart below:

The maximum ground slope on * Crops can take several real-life [[day]]s to grow, during which you , a farmer should tend ("farm") the field [[tile]]s to remove weeds. This can be done approximately once every real-life day and will improve the eventual harvest. [[Quality]] and yield of the harvest also increase with higher farming skill. * Crops can Sow seeds be harvested at any time after the first growth level, but harvesting too early or too late results in zero or reduced return. When the farm is 8ready to harvest (ripe), attempting to sow seeds on a greater slope results the crop will look visually look "ready" and will also relate this upon examination. See the "Images" section below for pictures of each crop in the ripe stage.* If an animal grazes a message "crop tile down by one stage, when the crop regrows, the yield will be increased by 1.* Farming can be done while moving, so long as you do not move too far away (two tiles) from the tile you are currently working on.* The ground minimum harvest yield is 2. Tending your crops will increase your crop yield when harvested. * Moments of inspiration (rare rolls) do not flat enough for produce rare crops while harvesting, however there is a 1 in 4 chance of discovering a [[Treasure hunt | Treasure map]] while harvesting or tending. It is also believed that a moment of inspiration during a harvest action may increase the chance at a higher yield during that single action.* The [[seeds]] and [[vegetables]] needed to growstart farming can be found while botanizing, foraging, or manually harvesting crops from a field. You need Harvested [[cotton]], [[strawberries]], [[pumpkin]], [[wemp plants|wemp]] and [[reed plants]] must be picked to flatten it first"recover [[seeds]] for replanting.* [[Seeds]] can be sown on dirt tiles or in [[large planter]]s. * The slope quality of the [[seed]] does not appear affect the growth time of the fields.* Clearing crops that have turned to effect growth speed or crop qualityweeds will return one seed.

== Examine details Examining Crops ==

* '''Anyone can verify if a field needs tendingwhile holding an activated rake. ''' Messages from this examination include:** "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 needs weeding and maintenance work performed by tending with a an activated [[rake]]. If the description mentions ** "rotting Rotting old weeds", - means the field is overgrown has gone unmaintained for too long and can no longer be harvestedfor useful produce.

Level 10 farmers * '''Those with a farming skill below 15:''' can determine see the state of growth of a field, whether or not the field is tended or untended, and which type of crop is growing in a field(except when merely sprouts), except at on the lowest growth level ("freshly sown")field tile they are currently standing on.

Level 20 farmers * '''At level 15 farming skill:''' players can mouse over a field and determine crop type, and whether or not the growth level of a fieldis tended or untended, up to one tile away. The levels are, chronologically sorted:

Level 60 farmers * '''At level 30 farming skill:''' players can go on to determine the number of items they will get after if a harvest when they examine the fieldtile needs tending/farming from up to two tiles away. It should Field ripeness can be noticed however that the number it shows it not very accurate but more of a minimum since luck and other factors change the final numberchecked from up to one tile away.
