Cycle

Skills are player attributes which are leveled up through the use of specific tools or actions. Increasing skill will increase the proficiency of certain tools, and unlock helpful and unique crafting recipes. It should be noted that any crafting recipes learned through leveling up will not be accessible until after your next save/the following day.

Each skill has ten levels, and at level 5 and level 10 players will select from one of two specific buffs to specialize into. These specializations take effect immediately; for example, the Level 5 Fisher specialization will increase the selling price of fish put into the shipping box the previous night. All skills need the following experience points to increase skill level:

Lvl Experience
1 100
2 380
3 770
4 1300
5 2150
6 3300
7 4800
8 6900
9 10000
10 15000

A variety of skills can be temporarily improved by eating specific foods. These skills will appear as a buff icon next to the player clock in the user interface. Skills can be viewed in the player skill tab in the game pause menu.

The information in this page includes known methods for obtaining skill experience. There might be other methods to gain experience for each skill that are currently unknown.

Farming Skill Icon.png Farming Each level grants +1 proficiency to the hoe and watering can tools. Levels are gained by harvesting crops. Caring for animals might also increase this, although this has yet to be confirmed.
Mining Skill Icon.png Mining Mining skill is increased by using the pickaxe tool to break rocks. Each level adds +1 to pickaxe proficiency.
Foraging Skill Icon.png Foraging Foraging skill includes both gathered foraged goods, and wood from trees chopped with an axe tool. Each level adds +1 axe proficiency.
Fishing Skill Icon.png Fishing Fishing is the skill associated with catching fish. Successfully completing the fishing minigame increases fishing skill. Each level adds +1 fishing rod proficiency.
Combat Skill Icon.png Combat Combat is a skill tied to the player's ability to fight against monsters. Each level adds +5 health points.

Proficiency

Skill proficiency affects the amount of energy required to use specific tools. As proficiency increases, energy requirements decrease by 0.1 points [1].

The Pickaxe, Axe, and Watering Can use 2 energy. The Fishing Rod uses 8 energy. Powering up the watering can increases its cost by 2 energy per level, with a maximum cost of 10 energy using a fully-charged iridium watering can.

Affected Tools

Farming

Foraging

Fishing

Mining

Unaffected Tools

The following tools do not consume energy:

  • Swords
  • Hammers

The following tools always consumes 4 points of energy:

Farming Skill Icon.png Farming

Farming Skill is gained by harvesting crops. Caring for animals also adds experience: Petting, milking, and shearing farm animals all give 5 experience. Hoe and watering can usage does not give experience by itself. Each level grants +1 proficiency to the hoe and watering can.

Agriculturist.png Agriculturist

All crops grow 10% faster.

Each crop harvested is worth experience points based on the value of the crop. The values of each crop are as follows:

Crop Exp per harvest Crop Exp per harvest Crop Exp per harvest Crop Exp per harvest
Coffee Bean 4 Hops 6 Wheat 6* Tulips 7
Parsnip 8 Green Bean 9 Hot Pepper 9 Blue Jazz 10
Corn 10 Garlic 12 Tomato 12 Eggplant 12

Amaranth 21* Artichoke 22 Yam 22 Cauliflower 23
Rhubarb 26 Melon 27 Red Cabbage 28 Fairy Rose 29
Pumpkin 31 Ancient Fruit 43 Starfruit 44 Sweet Gem Berry 64
* Due to a bug with scythe harvesting, these crops don't give any experience points.

The experience points awarded are calculated using the formula XP=||ln(0.018*PRICE + 1)|| with PRICE being the selling price of the crop's item.

Harvesting forageable plants grown on the farm counts as 3 foraging experience points per plant rather than farming experience points.

Experience level is increased after sleeping.

Topaz Node 8
Amethyst Node 10
Aquamarine Node 18

While generic rocks provide no experience bonus on their own, if coal is dropped, the player is awarded 5 points in mining. No other drops (gems, geodes, etc) awards experience.

You are awarded points when the rocks are destroyed. It doesn't matter if this is done by your pick, a bomb, or by the action of a monster.

Foraging Skill Icon.png Foraging

Foraging skill is increased both by gathering foraged goods, and by wood from trees chopped with an axe tool. Each level adds +1 axe proficiency. Note: Stumps, saplings, and fallen timber do NOT increase skill.

Chopping down a tree gives 12 exp (granted all at once for the last chop that causes the tree to fall), and removing hardwood stumps and logs gives 25 exp each (removing regular tree stumps gives no exp).

Fishing Skill Icon.png Fishing

Fishing skill is increased by fishing using a fishing pole. Also increases from harvesting from a Crab Pot. Each level adds +1 fishing rod proficiency, increases casting distance, reduces the max amount of time before fish bite, and increases the size of the bobber bar while reeling fish in.

 Mariner.png Mariner

Pirate.png Pirate

 Luremaster.png Luremaster
Crab pots no longer require bait.

The amount of experience earned for each caught fish is as follows:

(Quality of fish (stars) + 1) * 3 + Fish Difficulty (a value from 5-110 depending on the fish) / 3

This number is multiplied by 2.2 if you also have a treasure, 2.4 if it was perfect and 5 if it was a boss fish. For e.g. a regular quality sardine (difficulty 30) would net you (0+1)*3+30/3 = 13 xp.

Crab pots net you 5 xp each time you collect from them (no matter what is collected).

Fishing trash with the fishing pole gives 3 XP.

The xp required for leveling up is the same as for all skills:

Lvl Experience Total Sardines (No stars) Total Gold Star Legend Fish (Highest xp fish) Total Crab Pot

Combat Skill Icon.png Combat

Combat skill is increased by fighting monsters. Each level adds +5 health points. Tested crit chance with +50% Scout skill and two +10% crit chance rings. Chance to crit is multiplicative not additive: around 5-10% max [base * 1.5 * 1.1 * 1.1] with all boosts, not 50% + 10% + 10% = 70%.
