Unlock [[Farm]] at [[Farmhand]], buy a plot, and plant a crop. Crops supply pet food, crafting materials, and items you can sell. [[Plot]]s continue growing their selected crop until you uproot it; harvest ready output and keep the farm watered.

== Water and harvest are separate ==

Base watering cooldown is <strong>30 minutes</strong>, and each watering advances growth by <strong>30 minutes</strong>. Watering also yields Weeds and Red Mushrooms. Without survival bonuses, crops die if you leave them without water for <strong>12 hours</strong>, forcing you to replant.

<strong>Watering alone does not harvest.</strong> Use Harvest, enable <strong>[[Harvest on Water]]</strong> in Gameplay settings, or use /farm/water harvest to combine the two. Before logging off, water and collect anything ready. [[Vitality]] extends the survival window; [[Deluge]] lowers the watering cooldown.

== Grow what your account needs ==

Early crop choices should support current [[Craving|craving]]s and upgrades. Clover is a crafting material, not simply another food crop. Check recipes before selling all of a harvest. [[Species]] and food requirements diversify as pets grow, so a farm devoted to one crop can leave you short elsewhere.

There is a limit to how many plots may hold the same crop. [[Arbory]] raises it. Use a mixture suited to the materials you lack rather than copying a fixed late-game layout before you can support it.

== Buy and upgrade plots ==

Use <strong>Buy [[Plot]]</strong> at the bottom of the [[Farm]] page. Additional plots cost materials, with increasingly demanding recipes. Individual plots can reach <strong>level 15</strong>; each upgrade reduces grow time by 5%. Purchase and upgrade dialogs can craft missing materials automatically. <strong>Craft to max level</strong> advances consecutive affordable levels, so inspect the total ingredients before confirming.

== Fertilizers and mass boosting ==

Fertilizers accelerate a plot's production. Use common boosts when their extra crops justify the cost. Valuable boosts such as [[Gilded Manure]] deserve a plan for watering, harvesting, and having the right crop planted.

Only one fertilizer tier is active on a plot at a time. More of the same extends it; replacing another tier discards that different effect. [[Mass Boost]] filters let you choose boosted, unboosted, or soon-expiring plots. The Max amount splits your stack evenly among eligible targets. Read the target count before spending a large stack.

|-
| Experimental Fertilizer
| 20x

|-
| Gilded Manure

|}
</div>

Use valuable fertilizers on developed plots you can keep watered. Experimental Fertilizer consumes <strong>five Mysterious Sludges</strong> as well as Enriching Fertilizer; those rares also make a [[Hunt]] boost. Compare that cost before crafting it. Fertilizer does not multiply the Farm's pet-boost byproducts.
