the issue i have with farming is plant breading even with an artisin farmer i still get 1 plant from breading my issue with this is i started with 1 so you have given me a zero growth as an acceptable outcome for a growth cycle if a real farmer let his plants go to seed and only netted enough to replant the feild he would have to sell his land and quit. this is not a gain of one it is a gain of zero if plant breading was 2-4 instead of 1-3 farming would be viable, and more realistic. this would cure the main issue with farming and should be an easy change. please concider this as you look at improving lifer skills

RNG. Breeding give you 1-3 seed/s. Most time ...1.

People use breeding not for seeds but for fruits (sun, nature, etc.) but ... this is pointless. 

With 600 energy and 1200 gathering mastery I can always collect 150-200 fruits in 2 hours from wild herbs.

Also, now we have cooking bonus quests with garlic and hot peppers so farming is even more pointless, especially when we consider how valuable CP points are.
