Grand Blue Farming Guide – Seeds, Tools, Skill Tree
To begin Farming, head to Maple Village, where you can find land plots for growing crops.
The main Farming NPC is Charlie, located in the upper area of Maple Village. Charlie sells the seeds and equipment needed to start your farming journey.
Some of the important items available for Farming include:
- Seeds
- Sickles
- Watering Cans
- Fertilizer
- Sprinklers
- Scarecrows
You can normally tend to 12 crops at once. However, unlocking the Greenskeeper skill increases the number of crops you can manage.
Be careful while your crops are growing. Crows can occasionally attack your farm. You can manually shoo them away, but placing a Scarecrow is much more convenient if you are working on other activities.

Here are all the currently listed seeds and their Farming rewards.
| Seed | Price | Growth Duration | Placement EXP | Gathering EXP |
