Looking for the Fun in Farming

[Coriander]

In my opinion, farming is a tedious, low LP grind. It is just not very fun. I only do it because I need full nature for my silk (and my trees).

Perhaps some already submitted suggestions could be implemented to lower the tedium — larger seed bags, auto sort to plant high Q seeds first, faster seed dump options for useless seeds, etc.
Less tedium means more game time spent doing other, more fun stuff.

To make farming more attractive and fun; increase the LP, have rare and useful items like potions, "Lost" treasure, and useful artifacts (weapons, armor, tools and enchanted items) be "discovered" during plowing or harvest.

Finally, with increased rewards, include some risks like acts of Jorb er, I mean, God, natural disasters like storms or locusts, a set harvest "window" for optimum Q. Lots-O Stuff.

I can see some problems with this suggestion. Farming could become the new LP grind. Found treasures could be too good and natural disasters too harsh. Having a harvest window, while very realistic, could also make the game a grind, like silk is now and steel making was.
Still, I would be willing to risk this to add some spice into this aspect of the game.

Know what would make it awesome for me? If different locations on the map affected the varieties of wine you could make. I'm in a very good spot, near a mountain and by a river, so, assuming good weather and soil quality (mine is decent, though in no way spectacular), the terroir would be sufficient for growing all sorts of venerable vintages. Climate would be such a bangin' addition, too. I'd love to have my own vintage in this game.

this has to be a fucking joke, if not, you should really considering GETTING THE FUCK OUT of this game and playing wow or some shit like.

Farming was the best LP in world 3 plus its some of the best food. Its very very useful. Increasing the usefulness doesn't make it less boring.

Just randomly acquiring hq gear and magical items for plowing land or harvesting crops? Magical items don't even belong in H&H. It seems like you don't understand what this game is supposed to be like... which is really weird because you have been playing for a long time.

Anyways, the whole farming system should probably be revamped or something. Being able to find random crap like that wouldn't make it less grindy and annoying.

Some like to make/watch a crop all day long, others dont even care about farms.. its pretty much about what you want to be and what you like to do...
But the suggestions you are making would make farming the best thing evah...

[Thijssnl]

No, for all reasons stated above, at least.

no, it would suck and unbalance the game even more, isnt the cooking tab enought for all of you ?

Where the hell was I when this was true?
I'm pretty sure it was hunting, since animals were plentiful and world 3 was pre-LP nurf.
