Notes:

Good to know:

  • Plants are ready for harvest after 20 minutes; others can pick up your plants after 38 minutes
  • Can only plant in city suburbs; some cities do not have a suburb; some cities have a suburb without a planting area
  • Planting area is shown as: “Agriculture Area”, yellow icon, on a suburb map and/or has a Scarecrow stuck in a ground
  • Seeds can be found in city suburbs and on islands
  • Beirut, Alexandria, Istanbul and Athens are the only cities that have a NON-PVP suburb
  • If you are planting in a PVP zone and have a Barehand skill above 31, this puts you in danger of being killed and robbed of crops; to prevent this, guards can be hired from Master Alliance NPC (in a form of a whistle); when summoned, they will attack a player who's name is red (name changes to red when a player attacks a blue named player)


How to plant:

  • Equip a hoe
  • At least one seed must be in your inventory
  • Your character must be positioned in a planting area
  • Right-click on a seed to plant it
  • Plant will appear somewhere around the character, location depends on which way the character is positioned (check Eight-Way Replant for diagrams)


Tips:

  • SP potions (sp regen), Eloquence Hats (extra sp and load) and Labour Suits (extra load and sp regeneration) are more than worth it
  • Put seeds into one of the quick activation slots and plant using one of the F-keys
  • If you plant for long periods of time, replanting technique will be useful (shown below)


Planting Card:

Everything about a planting card.

Detailed Guide




Eight - Way Replant (aka "an Orgy of Planting") Source


Planting Basics:

The location of a plant will change depending how the character is standing.


  • image below shows where the plant will appear for each direction
  • the direction can be found by looking at the in game compass
  • to make planting easier i recommend planting from above (use the guide farther below to change in game settings)
  • planting north or east is the easiest since plants appear right beside the character





Replanting Basics:

When the seed is clicked, character enters a planting animation which lasts for about 6 seconds. It can be aborted by clicking on the plant that is close to the character. As this is done, character will turn towards the clicked plant but will be unmovable for the full duration of the animation, however, plants around can still be harvested and seeds planted. The key is to position the character in the middle of the planting group and move from plant to plant (click, collect, plant). Below are diagrams that show one way to get the full benefit from this method.


How to Setup the Field for Replanting:

View from the map:



View from above:

Setup the field in this way and replant by standing in the middle of the square. (check "Replanting Start" section below - to know from which plants to start the replanting cycle)



Since squares shift after replanting (South-West by one line), i leave a free line between each square; this adds alot more flexibility since you can start replanting from any corner of the field. Using this grid also helps to see and manage the plants and, therefore, makes it a great way to learn this replanting technique.

If short on space, free lines can be removed but, in this situation, you must always start replanting from South-West corner because, if not, the squares will overlap.


Replanting Start:

To replant eight plants without interuptions, you have to start replanting from the plants shown. This will insure that there is always a free slot for a new plant.


  • the starting plants are different depending if you plant Clockwise or CounterClockwise
  • images below shows the starting plants for two ways of replanting
  • after each replant, the field will shift towards South-West by one line (so, before replanting a square, make sure that there is a free line on South and West side)





Changing View:

  • Open ...\voyage\resource\ini\vidicon.ini (in notepad)
Copy to clipboard
Code:
max distance – scrolling away from ship/character
max angle - moving camera downwards
min angle - moving camera upwards

little - character in city/port
big – character in suburb
huge - ship in offshore
test - ship in high seas

  • To plant from above you only need to change [big] max distance = 30, min angle = 100 (everything else is optional)
Copy to clipboard
Code:
[little]
MaxDistance = 30
MaxAngle = 1200
MinAngle = 100

[big]
MaxDistance = 30
MaxAngle = 1200
MinAngle = 100

[huge]
MaxDistance = 500
MaxAngle = 900
MinAngle = 100

[test]
MaxDistance = 50
MaxAngle = 800
MinAngle = 100
Changing Resolution:

  • Open ...\voyage\Core.ini (in notepad)
  • Sign “;” prevents that resolution from starting
  • Change to (or whichever one you have):
Copy to clipboard
Code:
;screen_x = 1024
;screen_y = 768
screen_x = 1680
screen_y = 1050

I know that the use of the word "perfect" should never go unqualified, and I will jam forks into my eyes if I ever use the following words about an other guide, but this was a true masterpiece. Perfect!

Wow if all of the guides shared this format that would be keen.

if i may say if you plant in a PvP area and are attacked a good thing to have is a Whistle from the Alliance Master there are different levels. Blow the whistle and call a guard they stay with you for plenty of time to plant a couple of fields. and will attack a player trying to attack you.
Now if they could attack players trying to steal your crops that would be even better.
just a thought to add, this guide is VERY VERY good!!

Cheers to Wuld ! ! !
Better Dead Then Undead!!!

And if they try to steal the crops from ya, they can add in crime evidence!

Many thanks to Wuld!

Thank you for your suggestions, the guide was modified to reflect the new information.

I've also added how-to for the new Eight-Way replanting technique.
