How to train farming?

Method 1

First you have to rake the patch with your rake. After that you have to plant the seed, and you can immediately dig it with your spade, and do it over and over. This is the fastest method.

Method 2

First you have to rake the patch with your rake. After that you have to plant the seed.

Then you can inspect the seed and you have to wait until the plant is fully grown. A plant is fully grown in about 20 minutes. Just click on the patch to see the status of the plant.

When the plant is fully grown, you will get a note in your public chat.

When the plant is fully grown, you can pick it up.

Note: if you have a diseased herb, you can use a plant cure from the farming shop to make it healthy.

When you wait too long, your plant will be dead.
