A typo in the paragraph about Scarecrows: "The Acarecrow will help "scare the crows" away from your allotments of sweet corn."

Is the scarecrow needed if you are paying a gardner to watch your crops for you?

Also, is there a limit to how long a sapling can remain in the plant pot?

BTW, nice guide.

Aye.

I *presume* so. No idea.

Don't think so.

Also it says one of the hops patches is "North of Yanille." That wording is incorrect. The hops patch is in Yanille itself. Specifically, in North-Central Yanille but still, it's inside the city, not outside.

And another little tidbit although I'm not sure it belongs in the guide: If you carry your magic secateurs like so many farmers do, you cannot travel to Entrana with them. You can however take normal secateurs.

Yet another nice little tidbit. Barley malt is mentioned as one of the gardner payments, however, it says nothing more about barley malt. To get barley malt, you use barley on a range. Go figure. Since malt is a beverage, it never occured to me to use a range. I finally found it buried in one, and only one, place in the KB. Frustrating to say the least.

You get zero cooking exp for cooking barley on a range. One could get to really hate farming.

BTW, I am posting this stuff as I work my way up the levels. If you wanted to wait awhile until I went all the way through it....

If what I've found so far is correct, we might need some major investigation into farming. Specifically, harvesting times that are listed on our guide.

I have tested this over and over, with and without compost and/or supercompost and the times are consistent.

Sweetcorn does NOT take 35 minutes as listed. It takes 70 minutes to harvest.

Guam leaves take 90 minutes, NOT the 70 listed.

I haven't timed others yet but I will start to do that. IF the times I've found are accurate, we may have to manually time each and every type of plant.

When we made the guide, they were all random. The numbers we gave were just an average.

Then why, pray tell, doesn't the guide state that?

If they are averages, what are the minimum and maximum times? If we know that, why not just list a range?

Are the averages those of all plants that can be grow in that plot or an average of harvest times for a particular plant?

If they are averages of all the plants, then why are the hops, trees, and bush values different for each plant?

If they are averages of a particular plant, why would my harvest time for sweetcorn be double the 35 minutes listed?

Do we have any empirical data on harvest times? If not, I will start gathering it now.

I'm not berating or yelling or anything, I'm trying to understand why I can't use the guide for harvest times.
