Farming and Breeding
Albion Online allows players to grow crops, herbs, and animals on their island.
Farming requires you to build a Farm, Herb Garden, Pasture or Kennel. These can be built on sandy ground on private islands, with a level 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 island having 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 sandy grounds respectively.
The crops, herbs, and animals can be used, sold, or crafted into food, potions, or mounts.
Using focus (watering/nutrturing) will increase the possibility of getting seeds or an offspring back.
How to Build
You can get to the build menu by clicking on your avatar or pressing ‘H‘ on your keyboard.
You can build the following on your Island:
On Farm Plots:
- Farm: To farm plant seeds (Carrots, Wheat etc..)
- Herb Garden: To plant herb seeds (Arcane Agaric, Brightleaf Comfrey etc…)
- Pasture: To raise and breed animals (Chicken, Goats, Sheep etc…)
- Kennel: To raise and breed animals (Swiftclaw, Direwolf etc…)
On Building plots:
- Refining and Crafting Stations (Lumber Mill, Toolmaker)
- Houses (To store chests, furniture, and Labourers)
Tips and Suggestions
You cannot build a Guild Hall on a Private Island; and you cannot build farms on a Guild Island.
It is recommended to use the crafting stations in the Royal Cities for the additional bonus return. So best to build houses on your Private Island.
I only use focus to water carrots because they will provide guranteed return of 2 seeds. Once you get to higher tiers, there is a high enough percentage of getting seeds and offspring back without using focus. I instead use my focus on cooking.
- You can rent plots from people, but it is a bit risky, so better to start within your guild/alliance. Renting plots or gettings ALTs with islands will allow you to level your cooking quickly and start making some real easy profit.
