How To Seed

Purchasing Seeds

General rule: You have to buy the seeds that correspond with the area you farm in, but you can turn in the fruit to any manor that is buying that type of fruit.

Note that when you use seeds, you won't get normal drops - just adena, seal stones and quest items. (If you use Alternative Seeds you will get normal drops as well, but these have a higher fail rate and are not usually worth investing in.)

For 100% crop harvesting rate, you, the seed, and the mob you are harvesting must all be within that range. Otherwise, your plantation and harvest can fail.

Farming Seeds

Once you kill the mob, simply click on the harvester and it will say either "harvest failed" or "earned [Crop Type]."

Seeding in a dungeon or where there are other +hp mobs usually harvests more fruit per seed. Also, seeding yellow or pink mobs can result in higher fruit per seed but may fail more often.

Scavenger dwarves can spoil and seed at the same time. Make sure that you go in this order: seed / spoil / kill mob / harvest / sweep. If you sweep before you harvest you will lose the fruit.

Turning in your Crop

Note, you do not get ANY adena when turning in fruit. Instead you get materials equivalent to the buy price and the type of reward the castle lord set.

Talk to the manor manager in town and choose Tally up indeginious product Higlight the fruit you want to sell and then choose the Edit Sales button

On the next screen you can choose what town you want to sell your fruit too. You will see listed the towns that are currently buying the fruit, the buy price listed for each town, and the type of reward they are offering (type 1 or 2).

If no towns are listed then they have bought back all the fruit they can for that day. Reset time is everyday around 9pm EST.

After you decide what town you want to sell your fruit to, you must use the drop down to select it. If you just highlight the town name then it will stay at the default town. Then press the MAX PRICE button or type in the number of fruits you wish to sell. If you are going to sell your fruit to a different town than the one you are in, you WILL incur a 5% adena fee.

Your sale will have a confirmation screen. Double check then click Sale.

Congratulations. You have sold all your fruit back and now have materials. Woot!!

Planning Ahead

Random seeding is usually risky. If you are seeding to sell the materials check Giran and see if anyone actually wants that particular mat in mass quantities before you purchase your seeds. What good is having 1500 leather if you don't need them and no one else is buying them.

The best way to farm for materials using the manor system is the two-man team in my opinion. Have a lower level character (i.e. in the proper seed level range) seed and a significantly higher level character kill. Mobs are dark blue to the higher level so will barely get hurt and they will kill fast. When done, you split the fruit. Overall it's a win for both.

Refer to the chart below to help you decide what seeds to buy and what reward you need. Team up with clanmates/friends or even start a new low lvl character just for seeding.

To figure out the amount of materials you will receive before turning in your fruit use this formula
Buy Price ÷ Game Value × # of fruit

Game values of the materials are listed on the chart below. Each town sets their own buy price though so you will have to check that under the "edit sales" button. The higher the buy price the more materials you will get.

Happy Seeding!
