SKILL

Farming

Buy seeds from Mulch, plant them in your plots, water them, and harvest when they are ready.

MENTOR: MULCHAREA: MULCH'S PATCH

Why

Crops feed Cooking and sell; plots keep growing while you are away, so it is a loop you return to.

More plots, faster growth, stranger crops, and a greenhouse for the good ones.

Crops take real minutes to grow. Every level makes the waiting more profitable.

The mentor says

Dirt. Water. Time. That's it. The rest is a rumour.
Buy seeds from me. Turnips first, they're forgiving.
Plant, water, walk away. Come back when it's ready. It'll still be here.

Watering shaves a third off what's left. Do it once per plant.
Crops go to Ladle. Ladle turns them into buffs.
The Greenhouse at twenty. It smells better than I do.
The Hanging Orchard's apples are already ripe. They have been for years. Nobody picks them.
