- Unlocking: Complete the "Grounds of the Sunrise" faction quest line after Chapter 4.
- Seeds: Extract from inventory fruits or buy from Camu; max trust unlocks high-tier seeds.
- Fertilizer: Increases yield significantly (up to 40+ items); unlock via Hernand faction missions.
- Water Sprayer: Reduces growth time; unlock via Balenos Fisherman Guild missions.
- Harvesting: Trees do not regrow; chop down and replant for continuous yields.
Unlocking the Farm System
The farm is one of the most critical systems for long-term progression, yet the game provides minimal guidance on its activation. To access this feature, you must advance through the main story and complete specific faction quests.
Video Highlights:
- Quest Line: "Grounds of the Sunrise" is required to unlock the farm.
- Manager: Recruiting Camu unlocks the construction menu.
- Dispatch: Farm construction is handled via dispatch missions, not manual building.
You must complete Chapter 4 of the story before the "Grounds of the Sunrise" faction quests become available in your journal.
Complete Chapter 4
Finish the fourth chapter of the main storyline to unlock faction quests.
Accept Grounds of the Sunrise
Open your journal and navigate to the faction quest section. Select the "Grounds of the Sunrise" quest line focused on camp expansion.
Recruit Camu
Progress through the missions until you recruit the Farm Manager, Camu. He will request the construction of a crop cultivation farm.
Dispatch Missions
Select the "Apple Farming" and subsequent construction missions in the dispatch menu. Send your Gray Men to complete these tasks. You can rest at camp to speed up the timer.
Seed Acquisition Strategy
Seeds are the lifeblood of your farm. Understanding the different acquisition methods is vital for upgrading your production from basic food to high-end crafting materials.
Extraction
- Source: Inventory fruits/plants.
- Method: Hover over item, hold X, select "Obtain Seed".
- Yield: 1 seed per item.
Vendor Purchases
- Camu: Sells basic seeds; selection expands with max trust.
- Grocery Vendors: Sell seeds and fruit in towns.
- Contracts: Unlock at 100% trust to buy rare seeds at camp.
Loot Boxes
- Engraved Wooden Boxes: High-tier seeds (Wild Ginseng, Rubber).
- Location: Manor houses in Hernand and Demeniss (2nd floor).
Gift Flower Pots to Camu to max out his trust level quickly. You can often find flower pots behind him or in the camp area. Max trust unlocks seeds like Shine Berry and Wild Ginseng.
| Seed Type | Use Case | Acquisition Method |
|---|---|---|
| Apple | Ranch animal leveling | Extraction / Camu |
| Shine Berry | Cooking / Sales | Camu (Max Trust) |
| Wild Ginseng | Late-game armor upgrades | Engraved Boxes / Camu (Max Trust) |
| Abyss Cells | Abyss gear upgrades | Specialized farming |
| Rubber | Tool crafting (Fertilizer) | Engraved Boxes / Scholar Trade |
Essential Tools & Upgrades
To turn your farm into a high-yield production facility, you must unlock and utilize two primary tools: the Fertilizer Backpack and the Water Sprayer.
Fertilizer Backpack
This tool is arguably the most important upgrade for your farm. It drastically increases the quantity of crops harvested per plot.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Effect | Increases yield from ~3 items to 40+ items per plot. |
| Unlock | Complete Hernand faction missions (House Roberts, Alfonzo, Circus, Celeste). |
| Quest | "Queen of the Silk Spun Capital" (Arboria Castle spider boss). |
| Final Step | Restore the Abandoned Factory to receive the backpack. |
Water Sprayer
While fertilizer boosts quantity, the sprayer boosts speed by reducing the growth cycle duration.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Effect | Reduces growth time (3-5 days) significantly. |
| Unlock | Balenos Fisherman Guild faction missions. |
| Requirement | Available after completing the Abandoned Factory quest line. |
| Durability | Tools wear out; craft new ones at the Smithy using Rubber. |
If it rains, you may not need to water your crops that day, as the soil becomes naturally wet. Equipping weather-altering accessories can further optimize this.
Planting & Harvesting Workflow
Proper planting and harvesting mechanics are often misunderstood. Unlike typical farming sims, trees in this system do not regrow after harvest.
Prepare Seeds
Open your inventory and select "Take Out" on the desired seed.
Plant the Plot
Walk to a farmable plot and interact to plant. A dirt mound will appear.
Maintain Daily
Equip your Water Sprayer or Fertilizer. Aim (Left Trigger) and Spray (Right Trigger). One spray per plot per day is sufficient.
Harvest
Once fully grown (visual cue), harvest the crop. Trees yield multiple fruits but do not regrow.
Reset Plot
Use your axe to chop down the harvested tree. Replant a new seed to continue production.
Do not leave harvested trees standing. They will not produce fruit again. You must chop them down and replant to get more resources.
| Crop Type | Growth Time | Value | Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apples | Medium | Low/Med | Drop on ground to level Ranch animals quickly. |
| Skyroot | Long | High | Use for high-end crafting or selling for gold. |
| Prickly Pear | Long | High | Found in Engraved Boxes; requires research normally. |
| Abyss Cells | Long | Very High | Essential for Abyss gear upgrades. |
Advanced Optimization
Once your farm is operational, integrating it with other camp systems like the Ranch will maximize your efficiency.
Ranch Synergy
- Integration: Crops feed directly into Ranch levels.
- Action: Drop harvested food (e.g., Apples) on the ground near livestock.
- Result: Rapidly levels up your animals without needing separate fodder.
Resource Loop
- Rubber: Needed for tool repairs. Get from Rubber Seeds or trade 10 Thin Hides to Scholars.
- Kuku Garden Pack: Harvests all crops in seconds, saving massive amounts of time.
Farm Optimization Goals:
- Unlock Camu and build the Crop Cultivation Farm
- Maximize trust with Camu to unlock Wild Ginseng seeds
- Complete 'Queen of the Silk Spun Capital' to get Fertilizer
- Unlock Water Sprayer via Balenos Fisherman Guild
- Harvest and chop down trees to replant immediately
FAQ
Q: Why won't my trees produce more fruit?
In My Toll Farm, trees are a one-time harvest. Once you pick the fruit, the tree is dead. You must use your axe to chop it down and plant a new seed in that plot to get more yield.
Q: Where can I find Wild Ginseng seeds?
Wild Ginseng is a late-game upgrade material. The best way to get seeds is by maxing out trust with Camu or looting Engraved Wooden Boxes found in manor houses in Hernand and Demeniss.
Q: How do I get more Fertilizer for my tools?
Fertilizer is a tool you unlock, not a consumable you buy. However, to craft repairs for it and the Water Sprayer, you need Rubber. You can get Rubber by trading 10 Thin Hides to Scholars or finding Rubber Seeds in Engraved Boxes.
Q: What is the fastest way to level up my ranch animals?
Use your farm to grow Apples or other simple crops. Once harvested, drop the fruit on the ground near your livestock in the ranch. They will eat it and gain XP significantly faster than standard feeding.
