Farming training

This page details the optimal training methods for levelling up Farming.

Tools:

• Pickaxes – Your main tool to train Farming
• Spade – Your main tool to train Farming

Jewellery:

• Inspiring Ring of Mining – +5% experience boost in Farming

Armour Slots:

• Farmer's hat – to feel like a true master of Farming! Hopefully it gets a cool perk soon...
• Mage armour body – grants a -50% Stamina Regen Delay for a single piece equipped
• Although it is not mentioned in the table above, the suggested equipment can be replaced by any of their equivalent(s) (e.g., infinity armour = Lunar Garou armour). See Armour for a complete list.
• Leggings of lightness – Increases the player's maximum carry weight by 50

Food & potions perks:

• Knowledgable Nourishment – Increases the player's experience gain in all skills by 10%
• Focused Farming – Increases the experience gained when training the Farming skill by 15%
• Focused Farming II – Increases the experience gained when training the Farming skill by 30%
• Fleet-footed infusion – Reduces the stamina cost of sprinting by 50%

• Perks: Food perks do NOT stack. Eating another food after consuming a different one overrides its perk(s) with the most recent food eaten. Potions behave like this as well; drinking a new potion will immediately overwrite your active potion buff. While players cannot layer multiple foods or multiple potions, one potion + one food perks can be stacked together simultaneously.

Astral Rune, Earth Rune, Water Rune to cast the spells mentioned below:

• Seeds should always be planted in their right farming plots, as it reduces disease chances by a lot. See Farming plots for a list.
• Watering crops can still prove to be very useful as it speeds up the growing process considerably, especially with the aid of Humidify. Crops like pumpkin and watermelon have a maximum yield of 15 with iron secateurs and super compost, but this drops to 13 if one watering is skipped, and 11 if both are skipped.
• Players should not be afraid to build as many rain catchers and wells as they wish, as water can be challenging to deal with if there is no naturally occurring rain happening.
• Oak palisades built all around your farming plots can protect you and your crops from aggressive monsters.
• Farming being a very passive skill when waiting for crops to grow, it should be trained in alternance with other skills.
• Utilising the Rest accelerates Farming considerably, as crops instantly advance to their next growth stage at the start of a new day.
• Iron secateurs should be wielded between casts of Uproot or Harvester if more crops are desired, as the tool's effects do not stack with these spells.

The fastest way to level farming is to grow one of the 3 highest xp crops - pumpkin, watermelon and irit.

These plants also have several uses:

• Irit is used in all focused xp potions except agility.
• All three can be sold for 6 Garou chit each to Domri - The Merchant.
• Pumpkin and irit can be cooked into Pumpkin Spice Infusion.

• Making Super Compost.

In addition to gathering plants in the world, growing crops gives back up to 4 times more seeds than were used, depending on farming level.

The main benefit of this method is that crops never have to be manually watered. The main downsides are lack of flat terrain, lightning strikes and aggressive enemies. The cliff north of Vannaka is one of the few viable spots as it is relatively flat, has no aggressive enemies and can fit around 150 plots. This method can give around 75,000-90,000 experience per harvest with all boosts (Inspiring Ring of Farming, Knowledgable Nourishment and Focused Farming Potion) and yield enhancers (Super Compost and Iron Secateurs). Crops become half grown at the end of the first night, and fully grown at the end of the second night, so it is also possible to rotate between 2 sets of 120-150 plots. Assuming Pumpkin Spice Infusion are cooked from the crops, this method gives around 2.5x more experience to farming than it does to cooking. For a method with an evenly balanced experience gain, see the Cooking training.

Required items:

• 800-1200 Willow Logs
• 1 Super Compost Bin per 20 plots
• Chests to store tools and bulk crops.
• Enough Pumpkin Seeds, Watermelon Seeds or Irit Seeds seeds to get started (30+). Harvesting always provides more seeds than were used.
• 5-8 Compost Bucket
• Spade
• Yield and experience enhancers (see above)
• Lightning Rod. One has a 6 tile radius so several might be needed.
• Lodestone
• Plant Cure (optional). Can lose 3-10 crops without curing, depending on luck.
• Summon Shelter spell or a bed, to sleep right after finishing planting and check for disease in the morning. Can be skipped if growing the lowest disease chance crop - pumpkins.
