WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Gardening Role Bonus
Any mature crop field in an unlocked Valley biome.
Before you go
- Reach friendship level 2 with a villager.
- Assign that villager the Gardening role.
- Plant and grow crops that are ready to harvest.
Farming steps
- Choose a villager whose assigned role is Gardening.
- Select Hang Out so the villager accompanies you.
- Check that the field contains mature crops before beginning the harvest.
- Harvest the field while the companion is with you.
- Collect the regular produce and any role-based bonus drops.
- Reserve task ingredients, then store or sell the remaining crops.
- Assign the role before a large harvest so the companion is present for the activity.
- Higher friendship and more villagers assigned to the same role can improve bonus chances; treat extra crops as variable, not guaranteed.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat whenever a field is ready to harvest and you want the role bonus; it supplements each crop cycle.
Common mistakes
- Taking a Mining or Fishing companion to harvest does not match the activity; choose Gardening.
- Harvesting before selecting Hang Out misses the companion benefit for that work; set it up first.
- Counting on a fixed bonus quantity can leave a recipe short; reserve the normal harvest requirement.
When to stop or switch
Stop harvesting when the mature field is cleared; switch to planting or another activity while crops regrow.
