m (Added the Yield Formula from limpes calc (but only applied randomness once, instead of twice). Maybe someone can confirm that this is the correct forumla? Changed Format a few times aswell)

== Totems ==
 +
Farming totems were added to Idlescape in the "[[Combat 2.0 and Other Updates]]" patch on May 18, 2023.  The four types of totems are [[Water Totem]], [[Earth Totem]], [[Nature Totem]], and [[Coalescing Totem]].
 +
 
 +
Totems will not stack with others of the same type but will stack with other types lending the same effect(s).  (''i.e. [[Coalescing Totem]] with [[Water Totem]])'' At the end of each totem tooltip is "''Only the oldest'' [Totem Type] ''totem will take effect.  Totems automatically expire when they are fully grown.''"
 +
 
 +
There are two exception to this:
 +
 
 +
* [[Nature Totem]] instead has "''Only the'' '''<u>strongest</u>''' ''nature totem will take effect.  Totems automatically expire when they are fully grown."''
 +
* [[Water Totem]] has a typo stating that, "''Only the oldest water totem will take effect.  Totems automatically expire they are fully grown."''  The word "''when''" appears to be omitted unintentionally.
 +
 
 +
Despite the majority of tooltips stating that the <u>oldest</u> totem of a given type will take effect, it is always the <u>strongest</u> which is prioritized.  In most cases the nuance is irrelevant as both methods end up utilizing the same totem; however, when using a standard totem simultaneously with an unstable totem of the same variety, the [[unstable totem]] will take effect despite the younger age.
 +
 
 +
Miscellaneous:
 +
 
 +
* [[Totemic Wisdom]] will halve the age required for totems' maximum buff
 +
* Talents such as [[Zen Garden]] and [[Crop Rotation]] ignore planted totems when determining buff application
 +
* Totems cannot be fertilized despite other non-plant plots such as traps being able to receive [[fertilizer]].

This page is about the skill. For the enchantment, see Farming (Enchantment).
A maxed out farming plot size.
Farming UI

Farming is a production skill that allows players to grow and harvest produce. The produce can then be used in the Crafting and Cooking skill to create gear or food.


Equipment

The following items affect farming:

  • Hoes give a bonus to effective farming level, increasing the chance of a greater yield when harvesting (does not exceed the cap). Augmenting a hoe increases its farming bonus.
  • Fertilizer will increase the minimum yield and the experience gained of a plant. The amount of fertilizer required depends on the plant's size.

Plot Size

Plot size is only affected by a player's base farming level, and not effective levels. Meaning hoes wont increase plot size. The plot continues to grow vertically with mastery levels.

Total Level Height Width Size
1 1 2 2
10 2 2 4
20 2 3 6
30 3 3 9
40 3 4 12
50 4 4 16
60 4 5 20
70 5 5 25
80 5 6 30
90 6 6 36
100 7 6 42
110 8 6 48
120 9 6 54
130 10 6 60

Yield Formula

The formula for the yield of a seed with a level requirement of lvlReq is given by

where are independent and uniformly distributed on .


Totems

Farming totems were added to Idlescape in the "Combat 2.0 and Other Updates" patch on May 18, 2023. The four types of totems are Water Totem, Earth Totem, Nature Totem, and Coalescing Totem.

Totems will not stack with others of the same type but will stack with other types lending the same effect(s). (i.e. Coalescing Totem with Water Totem) At the end of each totem tooltip is "Only the oldest [Totem Type] totem will take effect. Totems automatically expire when they are fully grown."

There are two exception to this:

  • Nature Totem instead has "Only the strongest nature totem will take effect. Totems automatically expire when they are fully grown."
  • Water Totem has a typo stating that, "Only the oldest water totem will take effect. Totems automatically expire they are fully grown." The word "when" appears to be omitted unintentionally.

Despite the majority of tooltips stating that the oldest totem of a given type will take effect, it is always the strongest which is prioritized. In most cases the nuance is irrelevant as both methods end up utilizing the same totem; however, when using a standard totem simultaneously with an unstable totem of the same variety, the unstable totem will take effect despite the younger age.

Miscellaneous:

  • Totemic Wisdom will halve the age required for totems' maximum buff
  • Talents such as Zen Garden and Crop Rotation ignore planted totems when determining buff application
  • Totems cannot be fertilized despite other non-plant plots such as traps being able to receive fertilizer.
