Farming
Grow crops to level this skill. 21 perks from level 3 to 99.
How to train it
Three crops pay most of the XP: 
pumpkin, 
watermelon and 
irit. They also sell for 6 garou chits each to Domri, irit goes into every Focused potion but Agility's, and pumpkin and irit cook into the 
Pumpkin Spice Infusion, so a farm of them is never wasted. Plant each seed in the plot type its region calls for; the wrong plot multiplies the disease chance. Water speeds growth and sets the yield: a pumpkin or watermelon plot with 
Iron Secateurs and super compost caps at 15, drops to 13 if you skip one watering and 11 if you skip both. Harvesting gives back up to four times the seeds you planted, rising with your level.
Sleeping is the accelerator. Crops jump to the next growth stage at the start of each day, so plant, sleep, cure anything diseased in the morning, sleep again and harvest. Humidify waters every plot the cloud crosses and Cleansing Rain cures them on the way; Uproot pulls every ripe plant in a radius into your hands and Harvester widens it. Secateurs don't stack with those spells, so swap to them between casts if you want the extra yield. Rain catchers and wells keep clean water coming when the weather won't, and a ring of oak palisades keeps goblin raids off the plots.
The XP kit: the 
Inspiring Ring of Farming (+5%), a 
Wild Pie, 
Forager's Sandwich or 
Sweet Veg Ball for Knowledgable Nourishment (+10% in every skill), a Focused Farming potion (+15%, 
Super Focused +30%), one piece of mage armour for stamina and 
Leggings Of Lightness for the haul.
The big method is the Stormtouched Highlands. Its storm waters the crops for you, so the cliff north of Vannaka, flat and free of enemies, takes about 150 willow plots that never need a can. With every boost and yield enhancer a harvest pays around 75,000 to 90,000 XP. Crops are half grown after the first night and ripe after the second, so two sets of plots can alternate. Bring 800 to 1,200 willow logs, a super compost bin per 20 plots, 30 or more seeds, compost buckets, a spade, lightning rods (one covers a six-tile radius), a lodestone and either a bed or Summon Shelter to sleep on the spot. Pumpkins have the lowest disease chance if you'd rather skip the plant cures.
