Alright, so you've finished up “A Father’s Request” and you're ready to get your hands dirty with some farming? Awesome! This quest, "The Old Man And The Field," becomes available after you've harvested your first batch of Gysahl Greens. Make sure you've got two Vegetable Seeds handy before you head out, and let's get this done.

Where: Research Camp.
What: Find the Stubborn Old Man.
What to do: Chat with him about using the farming plots. He'll let you plant seeds in them.
- 2
Where: Canopus Farms (the plots you just got access to).
What: Plant Tantal Greens. They take about half a day to grow, so don't just stand there waiting! Go do some other stuff around the Wildlands – maybe tackle another quest or explore a bit.

Where: Back to the Research Camp.
What: Find the Stubborn Old Man again.
What to do: Make sure you have some Gysahl Greens in your inventory. Then, talk to him again to wrap up the quest.
