Gardening

Gardening involves gathering seeds, hoeing an area of a compatible ground type to plant them in and watering it with a Watering Can or Sprinkler. Then, once fully grown, manually harvesting them for gardening experience and vegetable items to use in cooking.

Growing time

It takes 10 minutes to go from a watered seed to a harvest-able plant:

• 2 mins to go from watered seed to sprout
• 4 mins to go from sprout to pre-harvest
• 4 mins to go from pre-harvest to harvest-able crop

Skill tree

An experience point is awarded for each fully grown plant manually harvested (not for wood).

Characters initially fail to retrieve seed from about 25% of the plants they harvest. Requiring more to be looted to maintain the same stock, until the Grateful gardener talent has 5 points in it.

Each gardening level increases a players extra harvest chance by 0.4%, for up to 40% at level 100. So able to gain an average of 14 vegetables for each 10 plants harvested.

Harvest chance

Harvest chance increases the probability of obtaining double, and potentially triple, the harvested crop. It is possible to obtain 100% harvest chance that guarantees two crops per harvest with various accessories and the Farmer's Hat. Even without a single level in Gardening, wearing all the equipment below will grant you 67.3% harvest chance. With all accessories and the Farmer's Hat leveled to 19 and reinforced, plus eating the Kelp Dumpling you can achieve a total of 182.4% larger harvest chance, which guarantees two crops with a 82.4% chance of a third.
