6.16.1 Farming
Farming is the ability to keep a field that can be utilized to grow crops, trees or keep animals. Outside of raw materials being able to be sent to a city for commodity production, the produce that is harvested or acquired on a field can be sold to various trades. To learn the skill of Farming, find Ives, the Elder of Kald, and then type LEARN ABILITY OF FARMING FROM IVES. This will cost 10,000 gold sovereigns to do so. ------ CITY PLOTS ------------------------------------------- Bloodloch | Shamtota Hills | v66678 Enorian | Village of Jaru | v66430 Spinesreach | Southern Tundra | v66677 Duiran | Western Ithmia | v66679 Your first plot of land on your city-centric maps is free.
