In-Game Text "The first farmer was the first man, and all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land." – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Society and Solitude While many may undertake the journey to the New World in search of plunder and gold, many more come seeking simply that humbler gold which every summer stands tall in the fields in promise of a rich harvest. Agriculture allows you to till fields and plant Cereals. About For an overview of Planting in general, see Tilled Field. Any Ear of Cereal is the product of a Cereal Harvest. If you don't have access to Seeds of Cereal for Planting, they can be initially purchased for 125x Silver Pieces from the Stalls in Providence. Seeds of Cereal can be stored in a Planter's Pouch such as a Leather Planter's Pouch, Cotton Planter's Pouch, Egyptian Cotton Planter's Pouch, or Sea Island Planter's Pouch. Planting Initially 50x Seeds of Cereal are required when Planting Ear of Cereal. Farming Purity The Purity of crops Harvested from a Tilled Field is based on a combination of the Purity of the Tilled Field, the Purity of the Seeds used when Planting, and chance, which may increase or decrease the Purity of a Harvest by a few percent. Each time the Harvest is higher than the Tilled Field's Purity that Field's Purity will permanently increase by up to 1%. Harvesting When Harvesting any Ear of Cereal you may also receive Hay and rarely Wild Oats. Any Ear of Cereal can be Threshed using the Thresh Cereal recipe to produce 50x Seeds of Cereal. There are 4 different varieties of Cereal which can be produced from a Tilled Field. The variety you get depends on the total accumulated influence of the Red and the Pink bars. Growing Cereal adds to the Green bar. Tier Ear of Cereal Influence 1 Ear of Oats Total accumulated Influence is less than 100 2 Ear of Rye 100 to 150 total Influence, but with more Red than Pink. 2 Ear of Barley 100 to 150 total Influence, but with more Pink than Red. 3 Ear of Wheat 150+ total Influence, balance does not matter.
