Legacy:Farming
Farming also refers to an incrementable skill.
Farming and quality of seeds
The quality of farmed products is based upon the quality of the planted seed with a [-5, +5] random range. Two things have an effect on the final quality of the product: The farmer's farming skill level and the soil quality.
- If the soil quality is lower than the quality of the planted seed, then the applied random range is capped to [-5, +2].
- If the farming skill is lower than the quality of the harvested crop, than the crop quality is softcapped by the farming skill. So harvesting a crop of higher quality than your farming skill will result in lower q harvested seeds.
Crop byproduct, like straw or plant fibres, are of the same quality as the planted seed.
Planting is not affected by the farming skill.
As each crop has a chance to produce seeds of slightly higher quality than the ones planted (assuming that harvesting character has a high enough farming skill level). And you are trying to raise the quality of your seed. You should harvest your fields and then only plant the highest quality seed from that harvest; over time, your average seed quality will tend to rise to your farming skill limit. This process goes even faster if Personal Beliefs are set towards Nature.

What it does:
Farming lets you plant and harvest crops (except grape seeds, which need Winemaking), plant trees, plow fields, mill Flour, and even make a Straw Hat.
- Adventure > Landscaping > Plow Field
- Plows squares of furrowed soil that can be used to plant crops. Furrowed soil is not needed to plant trees, however. Plowing by hand uses more stamina than using the Plow item.
- Adventure > Landscaping > Harvest Crop
- Allows you to harvest the item clicked on. This works on crops and Dream Catchers.
- Build > Containers
- Craft > Cloth Making > Hats
- Craft > Cooking > Ingredients
How to plant seeds:
To plant seeds in a plowed field you must left click the seeds in your inventory and then right click on the plowed field you wish to plant them on. Holding down the "Shift" key takes the next item out of your inventory so you may keep on right-clicking for continuous planting. If the seeds are kept in Seedbags, the bag can be used to plant them instead of picking up each individual seed. Wait until the crops are ready and harvest. The time required depends on the type of crop and what you want to harvest from it.
Using well-placed beehives will speed up this process.
NOTE: Plowed fields will revert back to their original tile type over time.
