question about seeds

Post by mamesh »

i was wondering if the seeds quality increase over time? example : suppose i got 10ql seed that ive sowed and my farming is a t 15 next harvest i should i get some 15ql seeds ? or you are stuck with the ql of the first seeds you got ? And if i got some ql 15 seeds is it a random number for quality or i should sort all the seed of 15ql and only sowed the one that are of higher quality?

Harvested seeds vary in a short margin (+5/-5, I think) from the planted Ql, through selective crop maintenance you gradually improve your seed QL over time.

what i know of, ive only been able to get seeds 1 level over the level i currentley have in farming. The seeds will gradually gain quality until they reach your farming level, so if you suddenley put a lot of points in farming it will take some time to get your seeds to that level, reeplant them several times, and speed the process up by sorting out your seeds and only plant your highest ql seeds. :)

emina is correct, you need to select your highest ql seeds after harvest and plant them and dump the rest. (or find another use for them)
i usually pick a certian ql of seed that i will not go below. so if i have ql 60 seeds and i plant them, when i harvest and go to replant i will for instance say i wont pick seeds below ql 64, each harvest this figure increases by about 3-5. and just remember to not let anybody else touch your shit so you can keep track of what is being planted etc.

I use the same method as eql. I have a good idea about the quality of each crop and I set a quality threshold. "I will not use seeds below ql 20" or something like that. If you don't have a good idea, just harvest a few crops and take a look. However you do it, always plant the highest quality seeds. The rest can be used or discarded.
