Build Agriculture Skill Through Crop Harvests
Harvesting crops you planted advances Agriculture while producing food for meals or preservation.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Build Agriculture Skill Through Crop Harvests
A protected base plot with crops you planted and a safe place to sort the harvest.
Before you go
- Seeds and a crop bed suitable for the current sowing window.
- An Agriculture skill book appropriate to your current level, if available.
- Tools, water, and time to care for the crop.
- Kitchen or preservation capacity for the output.
Farming steps
- Check the crop’s current sowing window and plant only a bed you can maintain.
- If you have the matching Agriculture book, read the relevant tier before the expected harvest.
- Inspect plants regularly and respond to water, weeds, or health issues shown in-game.
- Wait for each plant to reach its harvestable state rather than collecting early by guesswork.
- Harvest crops you planted and collect the resulting produce and any seed shown.
- Sort output: reserve viable seed, set aside meal ingredients, and process surplus promptly.
- Review Agriculture skill progress and plan another suitable sowing cycle using available seed.
- Harvesting crops you planted is the supported progression action; preparing soil or watching plants does not replace it.
- Use skill books before a planned harvest when available, and keep the crop plan small enough to protect output.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat across planting windows with seeds and care supplies; Agriculture progress depends on viable harvests and is not a one-time activity.
Common mistakes
- Planting out of season for quick progress; follow the crop calendar and wait for a supported window.
- Letting plants fail through neglected care; inspect the plot so seed investment can yield harvest XP and food.
- Cooking all output before checking seed; inspect harvest results, then divide food and seed.
When to stop or switch
Pause planting if water, time, or preservation capacity cannot support another bed; use the current harvest and resume when resources allow.
