→Crop Quality: fertilizer affects only the first crop harvested
===Crop Quality===
===Crop Quality===
The quality of crops comes in three levels: regular, [[File:Silver_Quality.png|16px|link=]] silver, and [[File:Gold Quality.png|16px|link=]] gold. Quality is determined when a crop is harvested. Normally, harvested crops are almost all of regular quality, with a few at higher quality levels. The average quality can be increased by planting seeds into [[Fertilizer|fertilized]] soil. Increasing [[Farming#Farming Skill|Farming Skill]] also increases the chance to harvest a quality crop. If a [[Seed Maker]] turns a higher-quality crop into seeds, the seeds are '''no more likely''' to produce higher-quality crops when grown and harvested.

Higher quality crops command higher prices when sold, and deliver greater [[energy]] and [[health]] benefits when eaten. If given as a gift to an NPC who likes or loves the crop, a silver or gold quality crop gives a higher number of [[friendship]] points. Crop quality has '''no effect''' on [[Cooking|cooked foods']] health or energy gains, or on the quality of [[Artisan Goods]] produced.

The quality star of a crop in inventory is supposed to animate when it is of the highest quality possible (gold). However, as of [[Version History#1.2.33|v1.2]], this animation occurs only for flower crops.

For crops that produce multiples at harvest (''e.g.'', [[Coffee Bean]], [[Blueberry]], [[Cranberries]]), [[Basic Fertilizer|Basic]] and [[Quality Fertilizer|Quality]] fertilizers affect only the first crop produced. That is, only 1 out of 4 coffee beans is affected at each harvest; only 1 out of 3 blueberries is affected, etc.
