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 ]], [[wemp]] and pumpkins [[pumpkin]] must be picked/crushed (note, cotton must be 1kg to crush, it can be more but you will only recieve one seed, crushing wempplants will yeild seeds equal to the weight (kg) and wemp fiber.) 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. {{smiley}}
