The Iridium Scythe is a tool that is obtained after claiming Farming Mastery.

The Iridium Scythe has the following benefits:

  • Can harvest items grown on tilled soil within its swing range, including regular crops, those grown in Garden Pots, Spring Onions, and other forageables grown from Wild Seeds.
  • Its radius is larger than the Golden Scythe[1] and it is more likely to cut all grass in its radius.
  • 100% chance per swipe to harvest hay from grass, up from 75%.[2]
  • Inflicts 20 damage, up from 13.[1]

It is the most powerful version of the Scythe. It increases the effectiveness of the Scythe and Golden Scythe by a substantial amount and adds a purple hue.

Bugs

  • The Iridium Scythe yields no foraging experience/mastery points for harvesting forageables grown from wild seeds. Forage crops are also always normal quality, unless the Botanist profession is taken.
