Farming

Farming is a type of skill that is mainly used for Brewing. Farming requires seeds to plant, and upon harvest, gives specific ingredients. Once the Broken Rake is obtained from Gathering within the Desert Mines and is fixed, the player is able to receive seeds at a certain rate, which increases after slotting Gem onto the Rake.

Plants typically have a minimum level to grow them and a level at which they will no longer die at. Plants that die yield no resources. Some plants such as mushrooms, vegetables and flowers never die when planted.

At 70 Gathering, it is possible to loot the Watering Can from Forever Fields which can be used to drastically increase plant growth speeds.

Bonemeal is needed to plant higher level seeds. Player must craft the Bonemeal bin in the Crafting section in order to convert Bones to Bonemeal.

Basic seeds

These are basic seeds that you can grow from the start of the game. When planted, basic seeds never die.

Farming averages

When calculating the number of leaves you expect to get from a seed there are a number of factors at play. For example

• The medium farming perk increases leaves by 2
• The criptoe nature perk increases leaves by 2
• The blue farming orb gives a 10% chance of a leaf, tree or basic seed regrowing giving an average bonus of 11.11..%. The number recurs because of the chance of a regrown seed regrowing again ad nauseum. We can represent this in an
• The base shiny orb gives 9 extra loot rolls at a 1% rate giving a 9% bonus on average.
• The mega shiny orb gives 49 extra loot rolls (citation needed for number of rolls) at 0.01% giving a 0.49% bonus on average
• The mega shiny orb+ (sea glass upgrade) gives 9 extra loot rolls on top of the base shiny orb and improves the odds of the mega shiny orb giving a 18.98% ( 9% + 9% + (2 * 0.49%) ) bonus in total.

For mushrooms then the maximum average is: 30.27 = ( ( 30 + 20 ) / 2 ) * 1.1898 * 1.111...

For leaf seeds the maximum average is: 9.46 = ( ( 10 + 7 ) / 2 ) * 1.1898 * 1.111...
