Level 10 farmers can determine which type of crop is growing in a field, except at the lowest growth level ("freshly sown").
Players with a farming skill of 15 or more can determine when a field is ready to harvest by activating a farming tool. The growth status of nearby tiles can be seen in the tool-tip when hovering over the tile. At farming skill 30 you can determine growth status of 1 tile further for a total of 3 tiles. (The tile you are standing on and two further)
The stages displayed (in order) are:
# Freshly sown
# Sprouting
# Growing
# Halfway
# Almost ripe
# Ripe
# Only weeds
Level 20 farmers can determine the growth level of a field. The levels are, chronologically sorted:
# '''The field is at full height and ready to harvest!''' (Used to be: The field is overaged, and some crop has been ruined.)
# (rotten old weeds, crops completely ruined)
Level 30 farmers can determine when a field is ready to harvest by activating a farming tool. The growth status of nearby fields can be seen in the tool-tip when hovering over the tile. At even higher farming skill this tooltip shows at greater distances.
The stages displayed (in order) are:
# Freshly sown
# Sprouting
# Growing
# Halfway
# Almost ripe
# Ripe
# Only weeds
Level 60 farmers can determine the number of items they will get after a harvest when they examine the field. It should 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 number.
