Garden

The Garden farming system — Farming Fortune, crop milestones, pests, visitors, and contests.

Last updated: 2026-04-05

What is the Garden?

The Garden is your personal farming island, separate from your Private Island. It gives access to:

  • Farming Fortune (FF) upgrades exclusive to the Garden
  • Crop Milestones — progression that unlocks gear slots, stats, and boosts
  • Pest Farming — endgame farming mechanic with high coins/hr
  • Jacob's Farming Contest — competitive farming events with exclusive rewards
  • Visitors — NPCs that offer trade contracts for crops

How to unlock the Garden

The Garden is unlocked through the Farming Island quest chain. Talk to the Farming NPC in the Hub to start. You'll need basic farming gear and some starter crops.


Farming Fortune (FF)

Farming Fortune is the most important farming stat. It directly multiplies your crop drops.

At 100 FF, you get ~2× drops. At 300 FF, ~4× drops. Stacking FF is the fastest way to increase your coins/hr.

FF Sources

SourceFF Amount
Farming Skill (each level)+1 per level
Garden Level (each level)+5 per level
Hoe reforge (Blessed)Up to +75
Armor set (Melon/Cropie etc.)+100–200+
Pet (Elephant/Rabbit)+50–120
Equipment (Gauntlet/Helmet)+50–100
Silex (hoe upgrade)+50 per application
Lotus/Daedalus upgradesVaries

Gear > Pet for FF

Your armor set gives the most FF. Farming Suit sets (Melon, Cropie, Mushroom, Squash, Fermento) are stacked specifically for FF. Upgrade your armor before worrying about pet levels.

Bazaar prices fluctuate

Crop prices change frequently. Always check current Bazaar prices before deciding on a crop. NPC prices (Carrot, Potato, Sugar Cane) are stable but lower. Bazaar crops (Melon, Mushroom, Pumpkin) vary.


Crop Milestones

Each crop has its own milestone progression. Hitting milestones unlocks:

  • Equipment slots on your farming armor
  • Permanent Farming Fortune bonuses
  • Cosmetic rewards
  • Crop Upgrade items (Lotus, Jacob's Ticket exchanges)

Push milestones in the crops you farm most. Milestone 1–5 is fast; 6–9 requires sustained farming.


Pest Farming

Pests are small enemies that spawn in your Garden while farming. Killing them drops:

  • Pest drops (rare items, specific to pest type)
  • Garden XP bonuses
  • Farming XP multipliers via the Pest Bestiary

Pest farming setup (endgame):

  • High FF (1000+) to farm fast and spawn pests often
  • Vacuum (Turbo Potato or Squash Vacuum) to collect pests
  • Pest Bestiary leveled for bonus XP
  • Mushroom and Nether Wart are top pest farming crops

Endgame pest farming earns 20–40M coins/hr with a fully optimized setup.

Pests require Greenhouse unlock

The Greenhouse is a Garden upgrade that unlocks the pest mechanic. Complete the Greenhouse quest first, then purchase the Greenhouse upgrade to enable pests.


Jacob's Farming Contest

Jacob's Contest is a farming competition that runs every 20 SkyBlock minutes (real-time). You farm as much of the designated crop as possible in the window.

Medals earned (Bronze, Silver, Gold) are used to buy:

  • Golden Ticket (opens farming shop)
  • Farming equipment upgrades
  • Rare cosmetics

Contest prep

Before the contest starts, make sure your inventory is clear for drops. Use your best hoe + farming pet + full FF gear. The goal is raw speed — not selling or managing inventory.


Visitors

Visitors are NPCs that offer trade contracts in your Garden. They ask for specific crops in exchange for rewards like:

  • Coins
  • Farming XP
  • Copper (used in Garden Shop)
  • Rare equipment upgrades

Accept visitors that give good XP/coin value per crop. Skip visitors asking for crops you don't farm. Visitors rotate over time.
