Useless Scythe upgrades

[Morion]

Scythe upgrades are useless. At Iron scythe I need two uses to delete old crop. I should be able to remove bunch of crops at once with that upgrade, and more at moonstone upgrade. So, after a season end, any regrowing crop is pain in the ass even with scythe upgrades.

[Kaffekoppen]

In my experience, the only noticeable difference in scythe upgrades is what kind of seeds you're allowed to harvest. I agree it's kind of pointless and wish it also affected the range with which you could cut down your own crops. Clearing out a large farm after every season is a pain as even my max upgraded moonstone scythe only deletes one crop at a time.

As it is, the only season I can be bothered to farm outside is Fall, and only for the exp crops. The rest just aren't worth the time it takes to clean them up with my scythe.

Scythe upgrades are required to harvest certain plants on other islands. Example: a Moonstone scythe is required to harvest plants on the Dark islands.

I don't necessarily like the scythe and its upgrades, but i am pointing out the upgrade has a purpose.

Then... don't u-s-e Scythe-upgrades >>

Edit:

Tool-Upgrading is a preference-thing: you can do it, then you've a silver or gold hammer, or -scythe. But... you don't need to. Just, don't do it

^^' The scyth upgrades seem unneccessarily expensive for what they do. I can get seeds from dark island plants simply by harvesting them by hand with the skill upgrade.

was about to comment the same!

on my current save file i only have copper tools and the skill that gives me seeds when harvesting/picking crops up. i flew to the dark island, picked everything until i had all the seeds i wanted and then immediately skedaddled again.

The sad thing is...you only need a single seed to multiply them! You give that seed to the herbalist and on the next day you can buy the seed at the store.

If...

you want to use the Somaria... uhh... Growing-Staff, then you need the scythe to multiply seeds. But... another feature, which everyone skips!>>

Hey quit speaking for all of us. The growing staff is amazing. You can speed level your agriculture and mass farm exp plants to level your spirits.

You aren't making any sense.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I think it is you who are not making sense to others.

Kind Regards.

K? Then explain me one thing:

Why should I grow a single seed into an EXP-fruit by using the Somaria- uh... Growing Staff, if you can simply plant seeds on the field, instead? For growing a single seed into a fruit it costs me 60 Stamina per fruit. That's compareably a lot considering that fruits normally heal 30-50 Stamina. Not to mention the time it costs.

So, where do I make no sense? Explain... I'm curious!

The thing is not that they are just useless - you dont know that they are useless before upgrading. And also, there is big need for upgrading. Clearing up autumn crops took me several in game days. Upgrades shouldnt allow me to progress more, they should make game more fun.

Thaaaat... is a preference-thing, too! If you claim in other threads that preference-things shouldn't be changed, then... you could say, it counts in this case, too!

And like Lucallia already stated...

by unlocking the seed-dropping farming skill, you don't need the Scythe-Upgrade for getting certain fruit-seeds. You just collect the fruits and with a 50% chance it drops seeds. You collect 2-3 fruts and get at least 1 seed.
Afterwards you sell that seed to the herbalist and on the next day you can buy those seeds.

Did you learn to read? I dont care about cutting other seeds, I have them all. I am talking about need in game of a way to fast getting rid of old crops. Currently no matter what to cut one crop I need to scythe hits and 4 stamina points. Its time wasting. This is the issue that you would notice if you would not skip the school time kid.

Quite agree on that upgrading the scythe should let you cut down withered crops more easily; there's really no reason not to. Clearing out my old, withered crops that stuck around in the fields as fall turned to winter is going to be a massive chore when it only cuts one at a time despite being at max upgrade level.
