# Farming

Farming is a gathering skill that lets players cultivate seeds into plants, which can then be used in Herbalism!

#### Getting started

After obtaining your first Sunflare seeds as a drop from Dungeons, you're almost ready! To grow your first crop, you'll need: a Garden Rake to remove weeds, a Bucket of Water to nurture your crop, and Garden Scissors to harvest it once it’s ready! You can craft these items in or purchase them on [Ronin](https://marketplace.roninchain.com/collections/zeeverse-items) or GEX.&#x20;

#### Curing diseased plants

If your plant becomes diseased, you'll receive a chat notification. You then have two options: use a Cure Sickness potion (crafted with Sunflare and Stray Teeth) to save it, or cut it down with Garden Scissors and replant.

{% hint style="info" %}
Seeds, Cure Sickness potions, and Compost can be crafted by yourself or purchased from the GEX, which is accessible through the Trader.
{% endhint %}

#### Compost

By adding 10 seeds (or 5 plants) of any kind to the compost bin, you can fill it up and produce valuable compost. This can be applied to your crops to increase the chances of a double, triple, or even quadruple harvest! Farming XP is awarded per crop, so with multiple harvests, you'll earn even more XP!

{% hint style="info" %}
Compost can only be added after planting the seed, but before watering.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Every 5 levels above a plant's unlock level (up to a maximum of 15 levels), the potency of compost increases, boosting the chance of multiple harvests. When the plant is first unlocked, if using a compost, there’s a 100% chance of receiving another crop, but the chances of receiving more crops increases with your Farming level.

{% hint style="info" %}
Being 15 levels above a plant's unlock level provides 5% chance for a quadruple harvest!
