Guildmaster Jane is the guildmaster and founder of the Farming Guild. She welcomes players to the guild, and explains the features in all three of the guild's wings. She is in charge of giving the player Farming contracts, as well as rewarding players for successfully completing a contract.

Farming contracts

Farming contracts are given by Guildmaster Jane, who instructs the player to grow a specific crop within the Farming Guild. Completing a contract awards players with a seed pack, which can be opened for some amount of seeds. Boosts may be used to accept a contract you are below the required level for.

For types of crop with health checking, the contract is completed when the player checks the health. For other types, the contract is completed when the player takes the last item from the patch. Should the player get a contract for a crop where they have already checked the health, they will need to plant a new seed and wait for it to grow. If the player is assigned a crop that has already been planted but not checked or harvested (including partially-harvested crops of the second type), it will still count as a contract completion.

Players can cancel a contract by asking Guildmaster Jane, "Do you have anything easier?", at which point she will switch the contract to one of a lower level. Easy contracts cannot be cancelled. Players can also view how many contracts they have completed by speaking to Guildmaster Jane.

Spirit Seeds

Guildmaster Jane is able to exchange a player's Spirit seeds for Tier 5 seed packs worth an average of 95,570.32. Tier 5 seed packs have an approximately 1/22 chance of containing another spirit seed which can itself be traded in for a tier 5 seed pack. Meaning the average value of a seed pack when trading in all spirit seeds obtained for additional packs converges to the slightly higher value of 100,049.51.

Farming contracts strategy

If you grow certain time-consuming crops before hand and do not check health/harvest them, you can instantly get credit for a contract completion immediately after completing a previous one; sometimes you can repeat this for two or three more times.

For example, if you complete a Snapdragon contract and then immediately get a Redwood contract, instead of having to choose to wait a few days or skip it for a lower level contract and thus a poorer seed pack, you can instantly complete it by just checking its health and then move on to the next one. Simply ensuring all of your patches are pre-grown and replacing them as you complete contracts will greatly improve the amount of contracts you can do in a given amount of time.
