I'm thinking they intentionally slowed it down. What are carrots up in in w7? 1200? 1500? You could get a reliable 2 points per day as long as the server was up. Other crops should all be in the 700 range or so.

Under that system with these mechanics it's physically impossible to increase Q though. Without multiple random chances per harvested area, you're destined to basically sit and watch your crops go nowhere. Because the chance is slightly negative, you needed to pick and choose to gain crop quality and you can't do that anymore.

I don't think it's the old system because of that.

That just means the flaw is in the quality system, not in how many seeds you get. If they all come out the same, it doesn't matter if you get 10 or 50.

That's pretty much my point. Players have no influence on this Q system unless there's an obscure mechanic we're missing.

Farming doesn't seem to help. My Q on crops just constantly goes down.

This is on 13/10/10 soil.

I've seen some quality increases recently. Just got me straw hat and about 25 farming with it on, no new skills. If it was broken, it's fixed. I don't think it was broken to begin with. When my farming was down, the qualities dropped to single digits almost all around, but was slowly getting up as my farming was coming up. This last harvest I had a couple of items with all aspects 10+.

I am curious, what's the q of your beehive?

Rebuilt it after the Q1 beehive bug was fixed with avg Q17 boards and avg Q16 straw.

Has this mechanic been tweaked?

I hope in the next world, that it does, cause the RNG thing is really sucking.

and when you combine it with the 3 quality system. . .


personally I think the formula should be Farming skill + Q of ground + Q of crop / 3 = A
then (A affected by RNG number modifier) + A / 2 = final crop quality. with the RNG being (+5 to -5) changed to (25% positive to 25% negative)

example. farming 20, Q of ground 10, crop Q of 15

20 + 10 + 15 = 45 / 3 = 15. then 15 with a positive 10% = 17.25 then it's 17.25 + 15 = 16.125 with the overall rounding making it 16. of course the higher the farming skill will eventually cancel out the negatives but it will not mean a possible degeneration of the crop if you are advanced farmer.
