Farming

Farming is a skill that's used to plant, grow, and harvest crops on the farm. It's the main source of income and source of most of the ingredients for cooking.

Growing Crops

Crops

For more details about each crop, see Crops.

To grow  crops or flowers, there must first be tillable soil. A  shovel can be used to create or clear away tillable soil tiles. A  hoe is then used to till the soil for the seeds to be planted in and watered with the  watering can . Crops need to be watered each day until they're ready for harvest, else they will not progress in growth.

 Seeds can be purchased from the General Store and are sometimes given as  Quest rewards. Seeds can also be obtained with the Prepared Picker Skill while Foraging, or with the Bountiful Skill when watering existing crops on the farm.

Seasonal crops will wither at the end of the last day of the season and will need to be cleared out using a  sword before planting again.

Fruit Trees

The Player can also obtain  fruit tree saplings from the General Store to plant on their farm. The saplings in stock will vary depending on the current season, and will need a completely clear 3x3 square space around it to be planted.

They will take 14 Days to mature and fruit, but do not require watering and continue to produce 3 new fruit every 3 Days during their fruiting season. At the end of the season the fruit tree will stop producing fruit until the next year, but it will not wither.

Farming Skill Perks

The Farming skill can be increased by planting and watering crops and flowers on the farm, as well as harvesting them.

Making Crops Grow Faster

As a world with magic, Fields of Mistria substitutes the standard fertilizer with the data-sort-value=""> Growth spell, which can be used to instantly mature any  crops (or  regrowing forageables) in a 1 square radius around The Player, at the cost of 2.
Outside of magic, the Harvest Time Skill means slow growing crops (those that take around 9 Days to grow), mature one day faster ( 8 Days instead).

Water Sprite Statue

A Water Sprite Statue can be used to automatically water any  Crops within a 2 tile radius of the statue, as long as the statue is kept powered with an  Essence Stone.
Watering  Crops this way, does not consume Stamina (), unlike watering them with a  Watering Can.
There is no functional difference between the different appearances of the Water Sprite Statue, with all cosmetic variants functioning identically.
Currently there is no way to upgrade or improve the range of the statue.

Currently the Water Sprite Statue is the only "machine" used for Farming.
