Farming

is one of the Skills available for players to level up as they perform certain actions that give them Farming XP.

Roman Numerals are used to express its levels in-game.

Although Farming goes from levels 1 - 60 (I - LX) by default, there is 50 XP required to reach the first level, meaning there is a "level 0", just like all other Skills.

The Farming Level Cap can be increased through Jacob's Farming Contests, to a maximum of Level 60 (LX). In order to reach this cap, players must place in the  bracket of a unique crop type, then purchase the upgrade from Anita in the Farmhouse. This can be done 10 times, increasing the cap one level for each unique crop type mastered.

Leveling XP
The following table lists the XP yield of each item.

Note: As opposed to Combat XP, Farming XP is received per broken block rather than killing the mobs.

Nether Wart grants Alchemy XP instead of Farming XP. A Nether Wart farm would probably not be viable when starting out, for you will not have double drops or even triple drops.

*Griffin Feathers also grant Farming experience; however, this is a bug due to the game considering Griffin Feathers as normal feathers.

Increasing Level Cap
Increasing the player's Farming Level Cap requires mastery in a unique crop type. Mastery comes in the form of Jacob's Farming Contests, a contest that requires players to farm as many crops as possible in a 20-minute time frame. Scoring in the top 5% of contestants in the Farming Contest will reward the player with a  Medal, and allows players to purchase +1 Farming Level Cap for each unique crop type.

The cost of increasing the player's Farming Level Cap increases for each level.

Farmhand
Farmhand is an ability exclusively unlocked by leveling up the Farming Skill. Each level of Farmhand grants an additional 4.

Each level of Farming grants one level of Farmhand. For example, if you were on Farming level 15, you would be on Farmhand level 15.

Farming XP Boosts
Players can increase their farming XP gained by increasing, which can be increased by:
 * Booster Cookie: +25


 * Drinking Farming XP Boost potions. Farming XP Boost III is the highest tier and +20. God Potions includes the Farming XP Boost III effect.


 * Rare+ Rabbit Pet. Rare is the cheapest to craft, but grants 5 less than Epic and Legendary variants at max level, and has a chance of being common or uncommon instead. Crafting with a Super Enchanted Egg is recommended for these reasons.
 * Special Hoes or Axes can also give extra XP, as well as the Blessed reforge. A maxed mathematical hoe can give +18 when reforged with a Blessed Fruit and a Recombobulator 3000, whereas a Pumpkin Dicer can give +10  with the reforges.
 * The Derpy Mayor Perk, which will give +50 . However, this appears very rarely, roughly every 124 days.
 * The Cultivating enchantment also gives 10% farming XP at lvl 10.

Leveling Rewards
Unlike most other Skills, Farming has a maximum level of 60. The cumulative rewards at Farming level 25 are: The cumulative rewards at Farming level 50 are:

 * The Barn
 * Mushroom Desert
 * Mushroom Desert
 * +200
 * 192
 * Access to 2 areas in the Hub
 * The Barn

The cumulative rewards at Farming level 60 are:


 * +240
 * 242
 * Access to 2 areas in the Hub
 * The Barn
 * Mushroom Desert
 * Mushroom Desert

There are also special leveling rewards.

Double-drop Chance
One of the rewards in the Farming skill is the chance to receive double, then triple the drop chance from crop harvests. While this is true, each level increases a by +4. Double drops above 100 will become triple drops, and will stack additively. This is similar to the way the stat works. Any additional double-drops stats will stack additively with the buff from Farming levels. This includes items such as the Elephant Pet, reforge stones from the Smithmonger, and "Turbo-Crop" Enchanted Books such as Turbo-Cane.
