Great Idea!, I don't know if it would work though due to you having to code it so that you don't get exp from just making one of the animals "ready" and you get it from them producing an offspring

@0xNaomi Would this be possible even?

Farmer does get exp from all the Summon skills. And also from a wider range of exp sources than any other class. Hmmmm....

On phone, disregard errors.

Sure we get XP from a range of things, but that's only because there is a range of farming items...or a limited number of effective levelling.

What winds me up is a few things:

  • Farmer gets SummonBat and SummonCat...What the actual fuck?
  • Farmers specialise in being able to breed, why shouldn't we get XP from it?
  • Farmer is easily the hardest profession to level, I've been on the new map for about 7-8 hours + now, I've spent 80% of that farming. I'm level 34, just.
Also, on your point that "get XP from all the summonskills". That's great and all, but the summoning usually costs a regent, has a couple hundred second cool down, and even then gives literally no XP.

@lhatchy1 Perhaps you might find some discussion of interest in this thread: Suggestion: Farmer farming problems

A few of us had a pretty thorough look at Farmer at the time. Lots of pithy suggestions on page 3 in particular. There were some really interesting ideas about how to increase the interest of leveling and also how to make Farmer a more valuable profession in terms of income and specialized skills and abilities.

I don't have anything to say on getting exp from breeding I guess. (Personally I think Farmer is the easiest profession to level, lol, because mining just doesn't do it for me. :p ) I'd certainly love to see it become even more interesting. :D

Did you miss all the boosts this week? I mastered from them alone. (1-60 in 2 days, only cause I had to leave during one of the boosts)
Also: You really need to build a massive farm. I suggest sugar cane, wheat, and/or carrots. While wheat and carrots must be replanted, they give so much more xp. Wheat gave 7.25 during the 210% boost.
