Sprout times?

**Posted:** Mar 22, 2012 10:59 am

When do crops become seedlings (basically when can you now walk on them)?

Is it any different with different crops?

Also, how do people plan their crops? I always have problems with that. Are there any resources for that, or should I just use paper & pen?

Crops have different times they become seedlings. Usually the longer it takes for a crop to grow overall the longer it takes to become a seedling.

I can't help you with that. I never planned my growing and just planted where ever/whenever.

Somewhere online there's a downloadable farm planner. You can plan where to put your barns and crops and everything, and it's really convenient.

The way you plant your crops depends on your watering can abilities.

For a level 0 or a bronze can, you should plan them in the "Fat c"-formation, giving you only 8 crops, but with watering access to every one. With a silver can you can reach over to a second crop row and you can plant columns 3 (or 4, if you insist) wide.

Silver can (column can be longer)

With a golden/mystrile can you can plant crop areas 6 wide

With the blessed and mythic cans your reach is much longer and you could plant a crop on every square of any of the farmland areas, and be able to reach any of them from somewhere with your fully charged watering can.

However, if you want to grow the re-growable crops, you will have to plant them so that you can reach each plant.

For example, you could do the fat c with the open ends next to each other:

XXXXXX
XX XX
XXXXXX

and you still have access to all the crops

Okay, thank you all!

.. until you run out of luck and weeds sprout in the middle area, making it impossible for you to jump there.

Planting large crop areas (renewable crops) assumes that you slave the harvest harvest sprites 24/7. No way around it.

Yep yep, right here.

Knowing how long it takes for most crops to grow helps. Also keeping in mind where you plant crops helps as well (for example, planting outside near the Waterfall decreases the average crop growth by one day, but I wanna say growing in town increases it by one day?).

Farmland = normal crop growth, and asde from Cher's site, you can find this info in your bookshelf. In-game, in your house. There is a book called crop growth, listing the various crop growth times, very handy.

The areas by the waterfall and the excavation site are -1 days to normal, the secret waterfall cave field -2 days and the areas in town are +1 day.
