**Improving quality depends on skill and on various other methods related to the item involved. Crops can be improved by using [[fertilizer]] and with [[farming]] skill; [[Animals]] by care, happiness, and mood; Fruit Trees by annual aging; and forageables can be guaranteed iridium quality by the [[Skills#Foraging|Botanist]] profession. [[Fishing#Fish_Quality|Fish quality]] can be improved by fishing further from land and having a perfect catch. Certain artisan goods can be aged in a [[cask]] or using [[Large Egg]]s (see [[Animals#Deluxe_and_Large_Products|animal product variants]]) will result in golden [[mayonnaise]].
