*Farming and Cooking are deeply rewarding skills to spend time improving, as enhanced crops grown by the player can be used to make foods that will help the player level their attributes steadily.
**The Gourmet feat is indispensable to farming, as it allows the player to see which traits their seeds pick up after being fertilized and harvested. Replant the seeds that have the [[Elin:Food|Food Traits]] that best suit your playstyle.
**To harvest plants, harvest them with a scythe after they are fully grown. It's advised to reserve about half of your planted field for seeds, and the other half for cooking.
**A fridge is readily available at the Hill Cave, north of the Meadow and Aquli Teola. This allows players to keep a surplus of healthy, fresh food on hand for themselves or their villagers.
**Once the player is comfortable in overworld combat, Fiama's quest to the Puppy Cave rewards the players with a ★Cooler Box, which allows the player to carry food with less risk of it rotting.
**Rotten foods and human corpses should not be eaten without the associated feats.
**There is no problem that cannot be solved by Doubling Your Stats.

*Shipping anything home from town will send it in a package, which is a lightweight 25-slot container. This can allow the player to expand their inventory rapidly at a small cost.
**It's worth noting that most packages that spawn are made of some variety of wood, so the player may want to acquire fireproof blankets to safeguard them until they can change material to something lightweight but fireproof, such as Mica, Sand, Plastic or Jelly.
