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.

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, Hoe, 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.

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 |
Potato | 14 | Blueberry | 14 | Bok Choy | 14 | Grape | 14 |
Sunflower | 14 | Radish | 15 | Summer Spangle | 15 | Beet | 16 |

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. Because experience is based on selling value, gold and silver stars add a small amount to the experience value of harvested crops.
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.

Fishing Skill is increased by catching Fish or Trash with a Fishing Rod/Pole or by harvesting Crab Pots.

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 |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 100 | 8 | 1 | 20 |

Based on your Skill levels you get a certain Title under your name in the skills tab It's based on your current level. Here are the values:
level >= 30 => Farm King level > 28 => Cropmaster level > 26 => Agriculturist level > 24 => Farmer level > 22 => Rancher level > 20 => Planter level > 18 => Granger level > 16 => Farmgirl/Farmboy level > 14 => Sodbuster level > 12 => Smallholder level > 10 => Tiller level > 8 => Farmhand level > 6 => Cowpoke level > 4 => Bumpkin level > 2 => Greenhorn level <= 2 => Newcomer
The level is calculated like:
(farmingLevel + fishingLevel + foragingLevel + combatLevel + miningLevel + luckLevel) / 2;
So would need luck level 10 as well to get the Highest title. Farm King.
