When you have Mists of Pandaria you will eventually reach the "Valley of the Four Winds" and visit a place called "Sunsong Ranch". Here you will take on the job as a farmer, you will be able to plant crops, and care for them. After 24 hours your crops will ripen and you will be able to to harvest them.
Additionally when tilling the ground you may find special items such as jewels, artefacts and more.
You can buy seeds from the nearby market of "HalfHil" there are lots of vendors including hte seed vendor where you can purchase seeds.
Steps to farming in Warcraft
There are six simple steps to farming in Warcraft to produce your desired crops.
- Buy Seeds
- Till Soil
- Plant Seeds
- Tend Crops
- Grow Crops
- Harvest
1. Buying Seeds: is very simple, go to the Market in Halfhil which is opposite the patch to Sunsong Ranch. There is a seed vendor there called Merchant Greenfield, he will sell you all the seeds you need.
2. Till Soil: By clicking on the untilled soil will cause your character to "Till the soil" which will prepare it for planting seeds. Occasionally weeds will grow when you do this so you will need to pull them when required. And you may also come across some vermin hiding in your tilled soil which you will need to click on the mound of tilled soil to expose the vermin where you can then attack it and remove.
3. Plant seeds: The seeds that you purchased in step 1 you can then plant. Select the Tilled seed plot that you wish to plant your seeds and click on the seeds you wish to plant.
From here there are several outcomes which leads us onto step 4.
4. Tend Crops: There are nine outcomes after planting your seeds.
- Growing crops (no action is needed on your behalf)
- Infested crops (use the bug spray located next to the house if you haven't already picked it up)
- Parched crops (use the water can located near the house if you haven't picked it up already)
- Alluring crops (theres a bird after the crop, click the soil to bring it to you and kill it)
- Runty crops (click the soil then jump up, it pulls the crop up out of the ground)
- Smothered crops (pull the weed that is growing)
- Tangled crops (click the soil then run, it will remove the full weed)
- Wriggling crops (theres a vermin under the crop, click on the soil to bring it out and kill it)
- Wild crops (click the soil and kill it)
- Instant growth - on rare occasions you can harvest your crops immediately after planting.
5. Grow crops: After you have tended to your crops then they will be growing. All you need to do is wait for the next day and you will then be able to harvest them (step 6). Many other items can also be "grown" including the "Mote of Harmony".
6. Harvest crops: Once your crops have grown you will be able to harvest them by clicking on them, you will usually receive 5 of each crop but under certain circumstances you will get more. Additionally when tilling the ground or harvesting your crops you will find jewels or artefacts and even companions!
