Vegetable Field

Introduction
Veggies are an easy and helpful crop as the field provides goods that can be eaten by people straight from the field, satisfying 1 Hunger Point (HP) and granting 1 Charisma point (CP) per vegetable. Veggies are regional and may not be the same for every town in a Viceroyalty. However, all veggies fultill the same hunger and Charisma requirements.

Veggie Fields are in season during Winter (which occurs from December 15 - February 28/29 every year).

Requirements
Veggie Fields are available to level 1 players and above.

You may chose a veggie field when initially leveling from level 0 to level 1 in the Level Scribe's Office (Version 2: Viceregal Office) or you may change an existing field to a veggie field at any time [ My Property > My First/Second field ]. Please note that if you change your field you will need to pay 50f and will lose everything you were working on that field.

It is highly recommended you check with your local Mentor or Mayor to find out what type of field your town needs the most to avoid overproduction. Their recommendation will show when you are with the Level Scribe.

Growing Cycle
The growing cycle of a veggie field is 5 days long.
 * Day 1-4: Growing
 * Day 5: Harvesting

Harvesting is a job which you can hire help to do, or you can work the field yourself. Hiring help costs money. If you hire a peasant, you have a chance to get a worker point. If you end up hiring another player, you will always get a worker point.

If you have the money to hire a worker for the day and decide to do so, you can view the details of the last 10 job contracts under Town Jobs [ Town > Town Jobs ] to help you in selecting a competitive wage for the job. If you choose to work the field yourself, then you will be unable to do any other jobs that day that require a daily action. If no action is taken on these days your crop will not progress.

Unlike wheat or corn fields, veggie fields do not require any seed on hand to plant and start the cycle from.

A healthy veggie field may yield up to 5 veggies during Winter and up to 4 at other times of the year depending upon field health. Starting with Version 3, you may also lose part of your crop from animals looking for a tasty treat. Add a Scarecrow to help drive them away by selecting Add Scarecrow (and having one in your storage box). A Scarecrow also gives +1 Opulence.

Selling Your Crop
Successfully harvested crops will appear in your storage box [ My Property > My Storage Box ]. The veggies can be moved to your Inventory and then placed on the market at your desired price if you are in town.

If you are out of town, you must have a Steward to be able to sell crops on your home market. You can purchase a Steward from the town market. Your steward can sell from your storage box.
