The seeds needed to start farming can be found while [[botanizing]] or from harvesting the crops. Harvested [[cotton]], [[wemp]] and [[pumpkin]] must be picked/crushed to recover seeds for replanting.== Tools Used==
Crops can be harvested at * [[Rake]] - for farming* [[Scythe]] - for harvesting [[wheat]], [[barley]], [[oat]] and [[rye]]** No tool is required when harvesting any time after of the first growth level, but harvesting too early other crops.* [[Large planter]] - for growing below ground or for aesthetics. A planter is required to grow [[mushroom]]s above or too late results in a bad cropbelow ground. Level 20 farmers A planter can determine be used to grow many crops above ground, if you like the optimal height by examining a fieldlook. It is also possible to use a * Any [[small barrelcontainer]]in your inventory - Can be used to sow seeds. When a field reaches optimal height it will be After seeds are put into the same height as container activating the small barrel, or container will use a little tallernew seed for every sow action.

== Examine details ==* Crops can take several real-life [[day]]s to grow, during which, 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 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 ready to harvest (ripe), 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 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 minimum harvest yield is 2. Tending your crops will increase your crop yield when harvested. * Moments of inspiration (rare rolls) do not 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 start farming can be found while botanizing, foraging, or manually harvesting crops from a field. Harvested [[cotton]], [[strawberries]], [[pumpkin]], [[wemp plants|wemp]] and [[reed plants]] must be picked to recover [[seeds]] for replanting.* [[Seeds]] can be sown on dirt tiles or in [[large planter]]s.* The quality of the [[seed]] does not affect the growth time of the fields.* Clearing crops that have turned to weeds will return one seed.
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.== Examining Crops ==
Level 10 farmers * '''Anyone can determine which type of crop verify if a field needs tending while holding an activated rake.''' Messages from this examination include:** "The crops grow steadily" - means the field is growing in order.** "It could use a field, except at touch from the lowest growth level (rake or some other farming tool" - means it needs weeding and maintenance work performed by tending with an activated [[rake]]. ** "freshly sownRotting old weeds")- means the field has gone unmaintained for too long and can no longer be harvested for useful produce.
Level 20 farmers * '''Those with a farming skill below 15:''' can determine see the state of growth level 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), on the field tile they are currently standing on. The levels are, chronologically sorted:
# The field is overaged, and some crop has been ruined.
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.
== Tools ==* '''At level 60 farming skill:''' players can determine the number of items they will get after a harvest when they examine the field. It should be noted, however, that the number shown here is more of a minimum approximation (due to the other factors that also go into determining harvest counts).

== Farming Products ==When tending a field, the player will receive one of five possible end results. Each provides a different message in the player event window, and each provides its own unique amount of skill-gain. The five possible field-tending results are as follows:
Farming can be a difficult skill to start, in the sense that getting your hands on the seeds as a new player can be extremely time consuming.{| class="wikitable sortable"|-But, since most people build their first house with at least some surrounding land fenced off ...!

Each tile will grow at a different rate and if you sow 10 seeds at the same time then those ten tiles may ripen individually in 2|-3 days. Your crops will be ripe when the top of the crop (when groomed) is exactly level with the top of a Small Barrel placed in the tile. Your crops need to be harvested within about 8 hours of becoming ripe. If you Harvest early you will get reduced yield and if you Harvest late you will get reduced yield. If you are only getting one potato, or whatever, anyway then you will get nothing. At higher skill levels you should be able to harvest early or late without losing all of your crop. After you harvest you should Sow one seed right back into the tile. You get almost no skill for Sow'ing. You get most skill from Farm'ing and maybe a little less than that for Harvest'ing.

== Description ==
The '''farming''' [[skill]] covers tending cultivating [[field]]s, sowing and [[harvestseeds]]ing , tending the crops. Crops can take several [[day]]s to grow, during which a farmer should farm the field [[tile]]s 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 harvesting the fieldsproduce.
== Notes==* No plowing is needed. [[Seeds]] can be sown directly on a dirt tile to begin. * * The [[maximum slope]] on which you can sow [[seeds ]] is 8; attempting , 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 [[seeds ]] on a greater slope results in a message "The ground is not flat enough for crops to grow. You need to flatten it first". The Farm tiles function the same with a slope does not appear to effect growth speed 8, flat or crop qualityanything in between.Still need more help, please see the chart below:
* '''At level 15 farming skill:''' players can mouse over a field and determine crop type, and whether or not the field is tended or untended, up to one tile away.
* '''At level 20 farming skill:''' players can further determine the growth level of a field. The levels are, chronologically sorted:
# You see a patch of freshly sown field.
# A few green blades pop out of the ground.
# The field is almost at full height.
# '''The field is at full height and ready to harvest!'''
# (rotten old weeds, crops completely ruined)
* [[Barley]]The field is tended - Failure* The field is now tended - Weak success, always a farming skill gain* The field looks better after your tending - Mediocre success, sometimes a farming skill gain* [[Corn]]The field is now groomed - Good success, no farming skill gain* [[Cotton]]The field is now nicely groomed - Excellent success, no farming skill gain ==Farming Warning Messages==* [[Garlic]] ''The ground is too moist here, so the <item> would rot.'':Occurs when trying to plant crops on a tile that is 1 or more dirts below the water table. :Also could present itself with the message '(new)'The water is too deep. You cannot sow that <item> there.''* [[Oat]]''This type of crop can only grow in water of suitable depth'':Occurs when trying to sow reed or rice that is not a suitable depth. Reed and Rice can be planted in a depth between 1 dirts and 4 dirts below the water table. * [[Onion]] :Can also present itself in the form of the message ''This type of crop can only grow in water of suitable depth.''*'(new)'The water is too deep to plant the <item>.'':Occurs when trying to plant a crop on a tile in which the northwest corner of that tile is more than 0 dirts below the water table. ==Skills & Characteristics==* [[PotatoNature]]> Farming* [[PumpkinBody]] > [[Body strength]]* [[RyeMind]] > [[Mind logic]]* [[WempSoul]]* > [[WheatSoul depth]]
