Overview

Foreword Farm is a hunting location in Folklore Forest region.

Foreword Farm, Prologue Pond, and Table of Contents are 3 connected hunting locations.

They require the minimum rank of Archduke/Archduchess and the Legendary Looking Glass to access.

Gameplay Mechanics

Planting

The Foreword Farm area focuses on planting crops in order to harvest material. Each crop requires 200cm of growth; plants normally grow at 10cm per catch (20 catches), but the use of Condensed Creativity speeds this up to 20cm per catch (10 catches), in addition to doubling the loot dropped by mice. The number and type of plants currently growing also affect the mouse population available for attraction. Current plant growth is unaffected by failure to attract or catch, as well as by any catch of a bonus mouse (such as Relic Hunter); only catches of Foreward Farmers matter.

Each unlocked plot can have one active plant growing, and another plant queued for automatic planting as soon as the current plant finishes. A growing plant has a progress bar that shows how many hunts remain before it will be harvested. Hovering over the plot's progress bar shows the current plant and its height on the left (clicking the X for that plant will abandon that plant, losing all hunts spent so far; which is generally undesirable if the plant has had any growth), as well as the next queued plant on the right (clicking the X for that plant will remove it from the queue and restore all the resources needed for that plant, with no drawbacks). The Harvest Bin automatically stores plants that have completed their growth, until the hunter collects the materials made available by that crop.

Clicking on the Plant button under an unlocked plot opens up a popup window with the option to select which crop to grow in any of the available plots. The button glows green when the hunter has sufficient supplies and space to plant or queue a crop. Various area upgrades can increase a crop's yield beyond the base yield. The following plants are available:

Plant Cost Base Yield
Mythical Mulch Plant 10 Papyrus Seed 5 Mythical Mulch
Magic Mythical Mulch Plant 10 Papyrus Seed
3 Magic Essence

Mice

All mice found in Foreword Farm are part of the Foreword Farmers group.

Only Tactical power type works against these mice.

The mouse attraction pool depends on the number of plant growing.

Hunting Strategy

All mice found in the Foreword Farm are part of the Foreward Farmers group and are weak only to Tactical weapons. All mice in the group prefer Standard Cheese, although Crazed Cultivator requires SUPER|brie+. The number and type of currently growing crops determines which mice are attracted. Collecting Papyrus Seeds is faster when fewer crops are growing, collecting Crop Coins is faster when all available plots are growing plants, particularly if all three plants are Parable Papyrus Plants.

Traveling from this location does not reset the Hunter's progress.

Hunting Tips by Larry

Greetings hunter and welcome to the Foreword Farm!

The soil here seems to be enchanted and is unlike anywhere else in the Kingdom! Under the right conditions, you should be able to grow and harvest a new and very valuable crop called Parable Papyrus!

Start by collecting Papyrus Seeds from the Seed Stower mice that are wandering the fields and use them to plant Mythical Mulch Plants. Once you start growing any kind of plant, you'll begin to attract the Petulant Pest mice who have an insatiable appetite for your delicious crops. The more plants you grow, the more pests you'll attract so be ready for these ravenous rascals. Defend your plants from these pests and grow them to maturity in order to collect their bountiful harvest.

Harvesting Mythical Mulch Plants will earn you a potent material called... you guessed it, Mythical Mulch! By planting Papyrus Seeds and Mythical Mulch together, you can grow the most valuable plant of all: the Parable Papyrus Plant! The Parable Papyrus that you harvest from this precious plant will become very useful when you get to the Table of Contents.

Happy hunting and harvesting!
