	Farming happens in farm plots, which are unlocked by the '''Farmland''' structure on your [[Homestead]]. You start with 2 plots and gain 1 more per Farmland level, up to '''10 plots at Farmland level 8'''. Each plot can grow one crop at a time, so more plots let you run more crops in parallel. The last two plots (9 and 10) sit behind late Farmland tiers gated on Moonstone and Echo Shard.

	== ~~Speeding growth~~ ==		== Auto-replant ==

	Crop grow times are fixed, but a ~~couple of~~ [[~~Alchemy~~]] ~~brews shorten them while active~~ — ~~the~~ '''~~Growth Tonic~~''' ~~and the stronger~~ '''Verdant Elixir''' ~~both cut how long crops take~~ to ~~mature~~. Compost ~~(worked~~ at the [[~~Homestead~~]]~~) further feeds the farm~~. These are optional ~~accelerants;~~ a plot left alone still matures on its own clock, online or offline.		At Farming level '''25''', every plot gains an '''auto''' toggle. Switch it on and a mature plot harvests and instantly replants itself with the same crop, repeating for as long as elapsed time, seeds, and bank space allow. This is what lets a single plot chain through many grow-harvest-replant cycles across a long offline stretch instead of growing once and then sitting ready until you return — it only stops (leaving the plot waiting for you) once it runs out of seed for that crop.

			== Growth and yield boosts ==

			Crop grow times are fixed, but a few things push them along:

			* '''{{Icon\|growth-tonic}} [[Growth Tonic]]''' — +15% crop growth speed for 30 minutes.
			* '''{{Icon\|farmhands-philtre}} [[Farmhand's Philtre]]''' — +12% Farming speed for 15 minutes; since Farming has no other action to speed up, this also shortens crop growth.
			* '''{{Icon\|verdant-elixir}} [[Verdant Elixir]]''' — doesn't speed growth at all; instead it adds +1 crop to every harvest for 30 minutes.
			* '''{{Icon\|compost}} [[Compost]]''' — convert 4 units of any one harvested crop into 1 Compost, then spend it at planting time for −10% growth time and +1 yield on that single cycle only.

			All three tonics are brewed at [[Alchemy]]; see [[Tonics]] for the full brew list. Certain [[Weather]] patterns and Farming [[Pets\|pets]] can also speed growth, stacking on top of any active tonic. These are all optional — a plot left alone still matures on its own fixed clock, online or offline.

	Seeds are the input for farming.

They can drop while gathering and from other activities, and most crops' seeds — {{Icon\|gourd-seed}} Gourd through {{Icon\|frostgourd-seed}} Frostgourd — can also be bought from the [[Shop]] when your luck runs dry. The five highest-tier crops (Emberling Pumpkin and above) are drop-only; the Shop never stocks their seeds.

'''Farming''' is a skill in which you plant seeds in farm plots, wait for them to grow in real time, and harvest the mature crops. Growth continues while you are doing other things and while you are offline, making farming a low-attention way to earn crop [[Items]] and Farming experience alongside your active skill.

== Farm plots ==

Farming happens in farm plots, which are unlocked by the '''Farmland''' structure on your [[Homestead]]. You start with 2 plots and gain 1 more per Farmland level, up to 8 plots at Farmland level 6. Each plot can grow one crop at a time, so more plots let you run more crops in parallel.

== How to plant and harvest ==

* Choose an empty plot and plant a seed for a crop you meet the Farming level requirement for.
* The crop grows over a fixed real-time period (see [[Crops]]). Growth carries on in the background and offline.
* Once mature, harvest the plot to collect the crop yield plus Farming experience.
* Harvesting has a chance to return some of the seeds you planted, softening the seed cost. Early crops return seeds a little more than half the time; late crops return them a little less often.
* Longer-growing crops award proportionally more experience, so slow crops still pay fairly for the wait.

== Seeds ==

Seeds are the input for farming. They can drop while gathering and from other activities, and a few starter seeds (Gourd, Sunroot, Marshmelon) can be bought from the [[Shop]] when your luck runs dry. Because harvesting often returns seeds, an established plot can become close to self-sustaining.

== What crops feed into ==

Harvested crops are used as goods and materials elsewhere in the game:

* Sold at the [[Trading Post]], where crops make up a large share of the tradeable goods.
* Turned in for [[Contracts]] (for example the Harvest Writ, which rewards completing harvests).
* Used as cooking and crafting ingredients and other [[Items]].
