How To Get Farming Tools & Seeds
In order to start farming, the tools you will need are a Hoe, a Watering Can, and a Shovel.

- Luckily, Rayne is also the NPC that sells you seeds. The seeds she sells change daily so be sure to stock up on the ones you need when they are available.
- Alternatively, you can also cut down trees and bushes to get Seeds.
- Now finally, for a Shovel, you can buy it from John for 900 in-game money.
- It isn’t exactly a direct purchase, to get a shovel you also need to have the Excavation Licence. You can buy the Excavation Licence from Fletch for 500 Permit Points.
