Planting Exp

[Duskyer]

Right now you only get it on harvest, but I think we should also be getting it on planting and watering.
EDIT: This is mostly a suggestion for multiplayer as exp only goes to whoever harvests, whether or not they did the planting.

I've levelled all skills to 100 except mining and believe me gardening doesn't need an XP buff compared to other skills.

You could argue all skills need an XP buff, that I'd agree with (esp. mining).

But as things are now gardening and cooking are right up there as 2 of the fastest to level to up.

In other words if they gave you XP for planting and watering, you can bet it would be lessened for harvesting.

The act of watering itself could be streamlined to be automated or made easier?

It's kind of the worst part in the planting and harvesting process. Putting the seeds down is faster. Breaking the plant is faster too (especially if you have decent mining speed). So at the very least if watering the plant was faster that would be nice.

I have the skill at nearly 100. And a farming set of two petal rings and one farmer's hat. So I'm already receiving full benefits pretty much. But I wouldn't care if too much if the skill got made easier.

I'm speaking in terms of multiplayer. You could have someone plant a whole field of crops, but the only one who reaps the benefits of the exp is whoever harvests the crops.

I'm down with that. 1/3 xp for planting, 1/3 for watering (assuming they don't add automated watering, which I think they probs will) and 1/3 harvesting.

Totally reasonable yeah.

edit: And much better explained in the 2nd post btw ;)
