Where To Find Rich Soil
Rich Soil is an extremely rare drop from harvesting crops. You’ll need to grow crops and harvest to even get a chance at earning any Rich Soil — but it also has an extremely low drop-rate. Here’s what you need to know.
- Rich Soil: Rich Soil randomly drops when harvesting crops. Rich Soil is totally random and will seemingly doesn’t increase depending on your crop or biome.
- Naturally, Rich Soil will only drop about 5-10% of the time. Some players report finding about 10~ Rich Soil per 200 crops harvested. That’s extremely rare!
Rich Soil can be harvested at a slightly faster rate with the right tricks — you’ll be getting Rich Soil faster if you grow a specific crop. Wheat!
- How To Get More Rich Soil Faster: Plant fields of Wheat. Wheat can be purchased in Peaceful Meadows and grows at an astonishingly fast rate. Wheat grows after 1-2 minutes. If you plant 200 Wheat, you’ll be harvesting non-stop.
The price of the crop and the growing time have nothing to do with the Rich Soil drop rate. It’s all about how much you’re harvesting, so simply harvesting more and faster will increase the drop rate. If you want to finish Scar’s quest faster, that’s the only way. You’ll also want a Level 10 Farming companion to join you. We haven’t confirmed they lead to higher drop rates, but it can’t hurt to try.
Wheat also happens to be the most valuable crop you can grow — as far as money-making potential goes. It isn’t very valuable because you’ll only earn a very slim profit, but if you do the math and factor in how fast it grows, you’re actually earning more coins per minute harvesting wheat than you are harvesting the highest value crops. But… that’s moot when you can just do nothing for an hour and get highly valuable crops. I recommend saving wheat for grinding Rich Soil.
