Farming
To farm you must at least have water, seeds and sickle or mower. There are 2 kinds of fertilizer you can add to your seeds, you do not need them but they do make things easier.
To make seeds you burn herbs in a furnace. Furnace, sickle and mower can be bought at plat pot shops. Sickle are 1 plat each, mowers are 15 plat each and furnaces are 20 plat each.
First kind of fertilizer is Sapropel. Quest mob located in Dead Swamp at square #795. This quest costs 400k and you get 1000 Sapropel. Sapropel extends your harvest time from 5 minutes to 15 minutes.
The next kind of fertilizer is Potash which you get from Sailor Lee in Port Zarijam southwest of Ark. He wonders around so you will have to look for him. Give him 1 plat nugget that you buy for 2 plat at the plat pot shops and he will give you 1000 Potash. Potash shortens grow time from the normal 1 hour to 20 minutes.
The water Quest mob is located at square #2136 just north of Ruby at the River Bank. He will give you 1000 water for 200k. With out water your plants will not grow at all.
Now that you have all your stuff together you are ready to farm. Pick an area that herbs normally grow. Then you double click on seeds to put them into the ground. If you have fertilizer, the fertilizer will automatically be applied to the seeds. How ever water is not. After you put your seeds into the ground you must water them or they will not grow. So now you double click on water. It doesn't matter if you plant 20 seeds in a square you still only need to water that square once. It is a good idea to plant 5 seeds per square since seeds do not always grow.
After you have your seeds planted and watered you wait either 20 minutes or 1 hour. Once your crops are grown just double click on your sickle you will see a message "You ready your Sickle." . Now go to your magic window and look for the spell called "mow". Right click on mow and assign it a key. Then just press what ever key you selected to harvest your crops.
To activate and deactivate a mower just double click on the mower. The mower will try to mow if there are crops to be harvested or not. It does not automatically shut off after you are done farming. If you do not shut it off you could completely waste a mower. So be very careful when using a mower.
