Farming exp

[VarnFury]

Anyone figure out how to get Farming exp? Picking up the finish herbs isn't earning any, nor does waiting for the plants to fully grow, weeding or planting the seeds. Also turning wheat into grains doesn't give anything.

Where did you find wheat/seeds?

I can till, plant seeds, water and harvest. But I cant do the "weeding" action, only villagers can for some reason. Also, XP doesn't appear to be gaining for any of those actions.

I have been reading books, i think its bugged

the farming skill appears to be bugged atm, books, or actions do not change the experience gained.

You need to equip a hoe in the bow slot and use it.

I'm not 1000% certain since i never watched my XP closely but i can remember i did level up twice during garden work on the farm

If you plant the crops I'm pretty sure you get the xp when they are collected, not 100% sure though.

This has been my experience as well.
I do all the planting myself, to be able to control the ratio of what is grown, because priorities on the farms don't seem to do much if you have enough seeds to fill out all the plots of the first crop they start on.
I never do *any* of the other farm-related work, and my Farming Skill has shot up to like... 7?
Only thing I've ever done was plant the seeds.

i just planted a lot of grain seeds and when the harvest finished i got a bunch of farming exp. The only thing I did was plant the seeds the npc's did the rest

I'm doing all steps in farming but nothing is increasing, at least not right away. I check after tilling, weeding, watering, etc. Now, I have been constantly reading Farming books while doing all of this, so maybe that's keeping it from increasing? Idk, but daddy needs to be able to get thatch so I can finish the Village lol. I keep going to steal wheat from that wheat field guarded by bandits...died plenty trying lol.

The *only* Farming EXP I've noticed gaining, is when crops finish growing. The moment they become harvestable, I get a load of EXP.

there is a wheat farm south of the 2nd village (windmill symbol). There you can collect wheat while you literally only need to steal 6 wheat. 5 wheat you need to spend to research the Tresher where you can use wheat to craft seeds from it.
