Farming life skill

[🌸𝓐𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓵𝓪🌸]

Is there any point in trying to reach master or guru levels in Farming?
What are the benefits of higher levels and higher farming mastery?

If you reach master in Farming you can rent/use small fences where you can put up to 10 crops.

Thank you!
1. And what about Guru? Does it have any benefit?
2. Is there anything that can lower the amount of energy consumed? (or is that the gathering skill?)

Master is the only level that matters. As long as you can grow and propagate Magical seeds which you can do at Artisan 1 and then Master 1 which Cadry stated is all you need.

The bulk of people who regularly farm usually stop power leveling at Artisan 1 and then just coast to Master 1. There are really very few Guru level farming life skillers just because it is a bit a pointless and not worth the effort.

I understand.

Does Crop Health affect the breeding result? Mine was about 70 health. Or it only affects the harvesting result?

[Fredericks of Cursewood]

I think it does. I don't have any evidence to back it up though. I water, fertilize, and have workers from town tend each farm. At 100% health, it seems that I will tend get on average 2 new plants for each breeding. Even dropping down to 90% health, that rate drops so that I will need more than half of my crop for new seed. Once you get to Magical Seeds, the water and worker management are easier since they don't seem to consume as much water as the 5X plants that they are replacing and workers won't run out of stamina with 2X Magical vs the 10X Blue, Green, or White.

Thank you. I will also try to check and verify this myself.

It would be so good and useful to have some kind of table (in the "help menu"). So we could get information in-game about how all the life skill levels (e.g. those levels which we haven't reached yet) and mastery will affect the results and stats. Sadly a lot of information seem to be undocumented or they are hidden in the game. :(

There is a BDO Lifeskill Discord. There are chats for each specific life skill and there are resource tabs for tables and links to other resources for each life skill.

Oh I've got one more question.
There are "Rankings" in the game. So I can see the top 30 players for the life skills.
But this only includes the players on the same server as I am playing on (?).

Is there any global ranking somewhere? For example to see who are the top 30 players in the EU region (or in the US region)?
Thank you. I'm just very curious.
