One of the hardest skill to level right now could be advanced farming, wheat grind to flavour or beehives totally random
we could grind flax seeds in the advanced farming skill, making linen oil
linen oil could be used by 90+ carpenters to add quality or max durability to items, up to x application for one item could up the quality of arrows, tools etc...
I'd say, i've grinded for about 2500 wheat to get to 60 adv farming, and gathered about 50 units of honey. And the rates are 2x. It will be a horror on open beta.
I like this idea too. another use for the oil from the flax could be lamp oil. wouldnt burn like naptha but could burn for a short time or somthing.. It would give us an actual use for flax seed.. as it stands now we just drop that stuff on the ground because once you got like 500 you dont need anymore. its useless. cant event feed it to animals that i know of.
On another note for advance farming right now. Its been made to easy. On x1 with 5 Cookies putting you at a 2.0 multiplier you can get to 60 advance farming with 1325 wheat which is 265 total actions. Before it took alot more.. like 10 times more if not more. I hope this skill is still being tweaked. If it was made 5 times harder than it is now. It would be 6625 wheat/1325 actions which would make more sense than only 265 times.. Its still alot but its still a doable amount. Skill Food should not be this easy to obtain. We should have to work for it just like anything else.
