1. the bars and how to grow the specific product
(ffs how to grow bushkins?) :D
2. The best fertilizer cycles
for example:
- dross+10hay+woodchoppings basic influence fertilizer set (variations when lack of wood/hay, why u dont need more than 400 influence per cycle)
3. The harvests and why this agricultural system is beautiful in long term :)
- how to utilize ur influencal harvests as the valuable fodder to feed composts, feed turkeys, have oils, raise worm purity, feed shellfish, what harvests are cruicial for ur daily diet

I'd like to contribute to the community but like to have one of the greatests books on the game market :)
Maybe I should ask for the government support, advertisers? :) Its a pity noone buy my book when i post all on the forum :(

Btw i dunno how to portect fields from the witches :/
aaand i could use some tips before publishing so I'll be glad to consult the final text if u agree :)

Edit: if someone want to be a sponsor i may put some adv line like : PM SponsorName for purity seeds :)


I was mainly putting those questions to test your knowledge as one of the things you need to consider when writing a book (if you want it to sell) is your ethos. Considering you are not well-known on the forums or in the game (at least to my knowledge) I think it would be a good thing for you to advertise your book. Make pre-orders, giveaways, etc. Also pay close attention to your English, it needs to be as close as flawless as possible (you basically need to fool everyone but the native speakers, because you probably won't manage to fool them, into believing you are a native speaker yourself). No offense but judging by your grammar is you'll need to work extra hard (again, trying to help ;p).

As for the info you intend to put in your book, it is true that they are not readily avalaible to new players but with a bit of poking around on the wiki they can be found. You need to be extra careful that most of the info you give in your book is exclusive or people will simply not buyt it. Also keep in mind that those exclusive infos won't stay exclusive very long as people will leak.

You did not speak about purity increase and it's probably one of the most important aspect of farming that you should add (being a 2 months old returning player, I doubt you have a fairly advanced purity going on but I hope you have started and grasped the basics on how to do it). A good exclusive information would be a list of players who have effectively achieve high purity in their fields and who would be willing to trade seeds.
