Talk:Farming

That new guide was written by a newbie. It's riddled with spelling errors and speculation on things about higher level farming. I'm assuming he doesn't even have 15 farming. Should we just get rid of it completely?--Lordtemplar 10:51, 17 May 2008 (CDT)

I dunno... most non-newbies got their skill up before the latest changes, so we're in a bit of a pickle for getting a solid guide. Unless someone wants to rewrite, maybe we should just stick to editing and improving what we have. I don't think it's actively harmful as it is. - Dashiva 19:31, 17 May 2008 (CDT)

I'm not so sure on the bit about farming every 6 hours...At most I get once a day.

Well, after that new update for the grass tiles, I noticed that small barrels no longer are the proper height for knowing when to farm, I suggest someone change that soon, because its a pretty big change. --ajgajg

In the most recent update the barrel size is now back to its original size. --ajgajg

Added a del to all barrel references. This was due to the change in the barrel textures. There has been another update today so I'm going to test it out before confirming. Regardless of that, I'm going to re-write the entire farming page at some point. --Marni 07:34, 24 July 2009 (CDT)

I recently did an experiment involving 10 flat fields and 10 sloped fields, and there was no difference is growing time, frequency of opportunities to rake, or yield. If anyone else can confirm this, we should remove the bold wording to the contrary in the article. --Arcas 04:44, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

I can confirm this. My farm has about 90 tiles flat and right next to it many more with an 8 EW and 0 NS slope. No difference exists between the flat and sloped. Joedobo 08:31, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

The "compound slope" of 8 idea is accurate except that I found that I could sow on a tile with one corner raised by 5 dirts. Otherwise max(NorthSouthSlopes) + max(EastWestSlopes) = 8. Was this changed, does it increase with skill, or is this a weird exception? My farming skill is 42. --Arcas 03:09, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

It's not true that you can harvest a guaranteed 6 crops at 57 skill. Tekari 06:13, 1 September 2011 (UTC)Tekari

Kelp as farming product? I found no way to sow kelp yet, mind to enlighten us, Ago? - KaiH (talk) 09:56, 10 August 2012 (CDT)
