Crops
Revision as of 08:16, 29 September 2018 by Wikiadmin (talk | contribs) (Text replacement - "{{PAGENAME}}" to "{{ROOTPAGENAME}}")
Crops are harvestable resources in Ashes of Creation.[2][3][4][5][6]
- Freeholds allow placement of farm workstations for farming crops and livestock.[2][2][3][4][7][6][5]
- The level and types of processing stations on a freehold will affect the speed and quality of crop rotations.[8][2]
- Static housing allows placement of small garden sections for farming special types of crops.[3][4][9]
- Apartments allow placement of pots to grow seeds.[10][4]
- Public spaces in nodes allow lower-tier animal husbandry and farming activities.[11]
- There'll be different types of tools and/or machinery that can be used to plant multiple seed types within a particular infrastructure that gives you bundles and/or many different harvestings that's part of progression. So, as you get more adept at farming, you have the ability to mass produce; and the same is true when you talk about quantity, speed of processing across many of the different processing professions[8] – Steven Sharif
- Crops are grown from seeds that are obtained from vendors or in the open-world.[12][2]
- Initially seeds will need to be planted individually, but the acquisition of farming tools or hired farmhands will enable more efficient methods.[13]
- Crops must be watered and fertilized until they are mature.[14][12]
- Plants can be uprooted, fruited (seeded), or harvested.[14]
- There are diminishing returns from harvesting crops, where new seeds will eventually need to be reacquired from the world.[15]
- There won't be a breeding mechanic associated with crops.[16]
- Farmable crops have applications beyond basic food items.[17]
- Farmed materials can be processed into craftable materials or be converted directly into consumable items through professions such as cooking and alchemy.[3]

Underrealm resources
Resources will be different in the Underrealm, including unique species of fish.[18][19][20]
- This will affect professions such as fishing, farming, and animal husbandry.[18][20]
- Since players may only have one Freehold, they must choose their Artisan specializations accordingly if they wish to place it in the Underrealm.[20]
Farmhands and NPC assistance
Based on node type and progression, players will be able to hire NPCs to work as farmhands on their freehold farms.[21] Players will be able to command these farmhands in-game as well as potentially offline via an application (mobile app) or web interface.[21][22][23]
