The '''farming ''' [[skill ]] covers tending fields [[field]]s and harvesting [[harvest]]ing the crops. (The act of sowing currently falls outside the scope of the skill.) Crops can take several days [[day]]s to grow, during which a farmer should farm the field tiles [[tile]]s to remove weeds. This will improve the harvest. [[Quality]] and amount of the harvest increases when you have a high Farming farming skill. Quality of the [[Qualityseed]] of the seed also effects the growth time of the fields.

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 Barrelsmall barrel]]. When a field reaches optimal height it will be the same height as the small 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}}

The [[maximum ground slope ]] on which you can Sow sow seeds is 8, ; 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 slope does not appear to effect growth speed or crop quality.
