Posted June 17, 2014 As I only played on Epic until recently my grasp of farming, and when to grow what etc, is based on that - which includes the curve. On Freedom servers at what farming skill do the easier crops - wemp/cotton/corn/potatoes/pumpkins cease to give skill, and what skill level is optimal to switch to onions/strawberries/garlic? I've reached about 48 so far and I thought that would be well high enough for onions - but the skill gain is disappointing, especially compared to pumpkins/corn/potatoes etc Any expert Freedom guys want to spread their knowledge?

Posted June 17, 2014 Grains 50-70, onions/garlic/strawbs 70+Wemp works okay pretty much throughout, too.Source: Grinding 1-93, then 1-79 on two different toons in the past year and a half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2014 +1 to using wemp. I've used it 1-90 farming as well. Cotton is the same as wemp per tile, but seemed to be become untended less often which resulted in less skill in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2014 My sources tell me that strawberries are too difficult even at 99 to gain good skill from on Freedom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2014 My sources tell me that strawberries are too difficult even at 99 to gain good skill from on Freedom It's certainly true that onions were a bit of a shock. It's confusing when you have only played with the underlying curve - it's like muscle memory....hard to unlearn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2014 Remember your rake ql also plays an important factor. At 70 skill for the high end crops I was still using a 70ql ish rake, if you used a 1ql skiller I'd say stick with grain or wemp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2014 I'm checking how much wemp we brought with as I type.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2014 corn skills at any level better then most.. its what I used to get to 99.88. and it stores well and is easy to sell as a bonus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) I have at 94 skill with a 1ql skiller at 30 damage I get very good gains using reeds. I average about 0.015 off of 28 fields a day using SB and 60s CoC off of 22 rye fields I tend to get .009 and .02 off of 55 wemp fields with the rake at 50 damage. (numbers are average gains, they do vary from day to day) Edited June 17, 2014 by Kerwal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
