Resources are raw materials used for crafting and upgrading locations. They are mainly gathered at farms, mines, and lumber mills with tools including pickaxes, scythes, wood cutting axes, and shovels.

Farms

Farms have flat land to grow crops, and beehives that produce honey and beeswax. The soil quality ranges from 50% to 100% which directly corresponds to yield amounts. Soil quality near the capital is poorer and improves the more links you move from the capital. Soil quality at Guild Provinces and Holy Temples is 100%. It is not possible to change a location's soil quality by upgrading the location. Higher level farms have more beehives.

Crops

Each character can have 20 crops planted at any one time.

Seeds can be bought from the Cooking and Farming NPC. There is one in the capital city near the The Market. Harvesting wild herbs all over the map or wheat, flax, and barley near the capital will also yield seeds. Harvesting planted crops always yields seeds.

Once planted, growing crops are immune to all theft or harm for 2 hours unless that location's main flag is captured. After 2 hours anyone can take the crops.

To plant seeds, place the seeds and some water on your hotbar. Crops will automatically snap if placed near each other. Plant a group of 4 seeds, then immediately water them. Plants will sprout weeds and dry out after planting. Taking care of these problems gives Forestry and Farming experience and speeds up the growth very slightly. This additional watering and weeding are NOT necessary, and do not affect yield. Plants can be fertilized which speeds up their growth more significantly. Fertilizer is obtained naturally from the decay of perishable items.

Seeds can be planted anywhere on the map, and do not have to be planted at farms. However, the yield is very poor, and there is generally no reason to do so.

All crops are perishable, so processing them quickly is a good idea. Combining fresher items with items about to expire in inventory averages their expiration rates.

Most crops grow in less than a half hour.

Crops are harvested with a scythe, a tool made by Engineers.

Mines and Ores

Lumber Mills and Wood
