Learn how to farm in nightingale: unlock the Farm Box and Watering Can in the Forest Antiquarian Realm and increase crop yields.
To unlock the ability to farm in nightingale, you must visit the Forest Antiquarian Realm. There, you can purchase the Farm Box recipe and the Watering Can recipe from the Essence Trader. The Watering Can is a tool that needs to be filled from water sources and then poured onto Farm Boxes containing seeds to ensure they grow. Both recipes cost a small amount of T1 Essence. After acquiring the recipes, craft a Farm Box at your base and the Watering Can at a Workbench. To start farming, place a seed in a Farm Box. The plant will grow over time as long as it is watered. The watering indicator functions similarly to the fuel indicator on crafting stations, depleting when the plant needs more water to continue its growth cycle.

- To avoid constant watering, activate the Tempest Realm Card in your biome. This enables permanent rain, ensuring outdoor plants are always watered.
- Use the Farm Minor Card and the Charm of Bounty to increase resource yields from plants. Apply the Charm of Bounty to your gear before harvesting.
- Combine the Charm of Bounty with either a Farm Card or a Settler Card to further maximize crop growing speeds and yields. Both Farm and Settler cards increase crop growing speed and yields but have different downsides.
- Herbarium realms greatly increase crop growing speeds by default, making them ideal for farming. For farms in other realms, establish bases near water sources for convenient manual watering.
- To obtain seeds, convert five of any plant into a seed using the Mortar Station. Be aware that using modifiers to increase crop yields is essential to avoid a negative balance.
