Farming

Farming Skill
Farming is one of the 13 Skills available for players to level up as they perform certain actions that give them Farming XP.

Roman Numerals are sometimes 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.

Farming XP Yields

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.

Farmhand
Farmhand is an ability exclusively unlocked by leveling up the Farming Skill. Each level of Farmhand grants an additional 4% chance for any Farming XP-yielding block to drop 2-4x its original amount (2x Crop Harvest at levels 1-25, 3x at levels 26-50, 4x at levels 51-60).

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
You can boost your farming XP either permanently or temporarily by:
 * Booster Cookie!
 * Drinking Farming XP Boost potions. A 20% boost is the best you can get. Using a God Potion includes the farming XP boost 3 effect.


 * Rare+ Rabbit Pet. Rare is easiest to craft since it only requires a stack of normal raw rabbit and an enchanted egg but only gives 25% farming XP boost at level 100, unlike the epic/legendary pet which gives 30%, which costs a super enchanted egg. If you use an enchanted egg to try to make rare you might get common/uncommon but it's easy to recraft it. Although if you are going to be doing a lot of farming, it is recommended you at least get a epic pet because that +5% will add up over time!
 * Special Hoes or Axes can also give extra XP, as well as the "blessed" reforge. A maxed mathematical hoe can give +18% farming XP boost when reforged with a Blessed Fruit and a Recombobulator 3000, whereas a Pumpkin Dicer can only give +10% with the reforges.
 * The Derpy mayor perk, which will give +50% farming XP. However, this appears very rarely.

With these boosts combined (NOT including the Derpy mayoral perk), you could normally get up to 9.2 farming XP from pumpkins. Or you could get 4.4 farming XP from sugarcane, which is effectively 8.8 because you can break 2 at the same time.

Leveling Rewards
Unlike most other Skills (excluding Enchanting and Mining skill), Farming has a maximum level of 60. The cumulative rewards at Farming level 25 are: The cumulative rewards at Farming level 50 are:
 * +100 Farming Fortune

 * 30,475 Coins
 * Access to 2 areas in the Hub
 * The Barn
 * Mushroom Desert
 * +200 Farming Fortune
 * 192
 * 1,406,475 Coins
 * Access to 2 areas in the Hub
 * The Barn
 * Mushroom Desert

The cumulative rewards at Farming level 60 are:


 * +240 Farming Fortune
 * 242
 * 6,756,475 Coins
 * Access to 2 areas in the Hub
 * The Barn
 * 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 Farming Fortune 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.
