# Farming & Crafting

> Grow crops, craft items, and fuel the economy

## Farming

Farming is central to resource generation, enabling players to grow crops for monster food, crafting ingredients, or marketplace trading.

* Unlocked early via Heiwa Village
* Plots support different seasonal crops and multi-season harvests
* Crops respond to economic supply and demand dynamics

### Growth Mechanics

* Crops operate on specific growth cycles with harvest windows (approximately 18 hours)
* Unharvested crops wither but convert to compost for other uses
* Different monsters have crop preferences that boost trust when satisfied

Farming directly influences monster happiness, battle performance, and player economic participation through seasonal engagement.

## Crafting

Crafting transforms raw materials into consumables and tools that enhance monster capabilities and enable player progression.

### How It Works

* Recipes acquired through gameplay progression, quests, or NPC interactions
* Combines crops, minerals, and monster drops as ingredients
* Produces four item categories:

| Category              | Effect                            |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Healing Potions**   | Restore HP or stamina             |
| **Stat Boosters**     | Temporarily increase combat stats |
| **Capture Enhancers** | Improve capture success rates     |
| **Utility Items**     | Various gameplay aids             |

Crafting is essential for battle survival, enables economic specialization through trading, and creates synergies across farming, mining, and fishing systems.
