Machines & Contracts

A basket of blueberries is worth something, but a jar of Pristine blueberry jam is worth considerably more — load up your new artisan machines and check the contracts board each morning to put every harvest to work.

Highlights

• Processing machines — four artisan machines (Keg, Jar, Mill, Oven) convert raw crops into processed goods over game-days; buy them from the farm shop, place them, load a crop, and collect when the ready marker appears.
• Quality carries through — processed goods inherit the quality tier of the crop you loaded; Pristine blueberries make Pristine jam worth twice the base price.
• Machine panel — click a placed machine to open its panel, which shows what is loaded, a progress bar, and a Collect button when the output is ready; a machine in progress cannot be picked up until it is emptied.
• Daily contracts board — type /contracts to open the Quests panel; four contracts rotate each day offering gold and Farming XP for delivering a set quantity of crops or processed goods.
• Accept, fulfill, and abandon — contracts show how many days remain; turn in when all requirements are met; let a contract expire and it is removed automatically on your next login.
• Quality requirements — some contracts ask for Fine or better produce; the panel shows the minimum tier so you know what quality to aim for before harvesting.
