Farmer Bri and Loki

As many know, I can be an addictive type personality, meaning, I get addicted to little things easily.

As you can see Loki and I have been farming away in Small Worlds… don’t let the seemingly empty pots above fool you, they are hybrids I just pollinated.

Farming is a past time I do enjoy apparently. My farm in farmville is doing well, and now I have it in Small Worlds… (Like I need another addiction huh?)

So now at this point, those of you who do not know about Small Worlds are probably asking yourself “Bri, you have lost your friggin mind.. what are you talking about!!??”

Let me tell you about farming in Small Worlds…

When Release 2.3 was introduced, we got the ability to grow our own plants for our spaces. We can also sell our plants and seeds. I am building up quiet the supply of seeds for my shop…

To start farming in Small worlds:

1. Go to Garden Life and buy some pots. The cheapest is only 100 tokens or 10 Gold to buy. With all things in Small Worlds, if you are planning to sell your plants, if you buy the pot in gold you can sell it for gold, if you by your pot in tokens, you can only sell the plant for tokens.

2. With your pot out of your inventory, you sow your seeds, as you can see, you can buy seeds, but if you have a stock already, you can use your own.

You can take care of your plants from the home page widget, and if pressed for time, its fine to do that, unless you have a whole lot of plants to take care of. I like to go in world to play with my plants.

3. Add Water. When you click on your plant it will tell you how long until it dehydrates and matures. Try not to let your plants dehydrate, you will get less seeds from harvesting.

4. Harvest your plants to build stock. As you can see on the screen shot, it tells you how many xps you will earn and how many seed packets you will get. If your plant has dehydrated even 1 percent of its life, you will only get one packet to replant or use to cross pollinate.

Harvesting your Plants

Cross Pollination:

Loki and I have done a lot of cross pollination lately. I have posted Gopu One and Tia Frady’s Pollination Charts in a prior post. These charts are invaluable!

You have to be level 20 to cross pollinate plants.. When you try to pollinate a plant, it will tell you your success rate, and the level needed to do it.

If you are successful, you will see how many XP you have earned. You will also get a pop up telling you that you have done this successfully and a brand new plant will be planted. If you fail, you will loose the seeds from your stock that you tried to use, but the mature plant will not be effected.

That is why I have the tendency to use lower level seeds in my inventory to pollinate a higher level mature plant.

That is the basics of Farming in Small Worlds in a nut shell. It’s been a lot of fun for me!

Soon you will be able to grow plants to make potions, so start building your Farming XP!

BTW.. Harvest or successfully cross-pollinate a plant – You get +1 Loyalty Point, see reason to become a farmer!
