“Master of the soil and lifeline of every long-run team, the Farmer transforms simple farm plots into a powerhouse source of rare crops, pumpkins, and even apple-bearing trees. Essential for feeding teams, supporting taming, and sustaining long survival runs.”
The Farmer is a Food Production / Support class in 99 Nights in the Forest, specializing in high-output farming, rare crop generation, and team-wide resource efficiency. With a Watering Can from the start and perks that dramatically increase rare crop chances, the Farmer is one of the strongest support classes for multiplayer and long survival sessions.
As it levels up, the Farmer turns normal plots into guaranteed pumpkin farms and boosts apple tree growth, making food supply nearly infinite and taming much easier.
This class shines in team-based runs, large-scale farming strategies, and taming-focused playthroughs.

Starter & Level 1 Perks (Initial Unlock)
Starter Tool: Watering Can
The class begins with a Watering Can, allowing immediate boosting of farm plots.
Level 1 Perk: Rare Crop Chance
- Using the Watering Can increases the chance of rare crops growing on farm plots.
This makes every farm plot more valuable, reducing how many are needed to provide enough food for the team.
Level 2 Requirements
| Requirement | Needed |
|---|---|
| Harvest Plants | 150 |
| Water Farm Plots | 50 |
Level 2 Perks
Perk: Saplings Can Grow into Apple Trees
At Level 2:
- Some saplings planted by the Farmer may grow into apple-bearing trees.
While apples restore only a small amount of hunger, they serve as an excellent Stew ingredient and increase long-term food variety.
Level 3 Requirements (Max Level)
| Requirement | Needed |
|---|---|
| Harvest Plants | 500 |
| Water Farm Plots | 80 |
Level 3 Perks
Perk: Guaranteed Pumpkin Yield
At max level, the Farmer gains their most powerful perk:
- Any watered farm plot is guaranteed to grow at least one Pumpkin.
Pumpkins are one of the most efficient foods in the game and are extremely valuable for taming strong animals like Bears, Polar Bears, and Mammoths.
Combined with the Level 1 perk, farm plots become a high-value food engine.
Strategic Analysis & Gameplay
The Farmer is ideal for:
- Team food supply management
- Faster taming progression (thanks to pumpkins and rare cakes)
- Long survival runs
- Supporting summoner classes
- Efficient multiplayer farming setups
Although weak in solo play, the Farmer provides unparalleled food production efficiency in team runs. Once upgraded, just a handful of watered farm plots can sustain an entire party.
Tips & Tricks
- Stack farm plots on the same tile — the Watering Can will water all of them at once.
- Focus on building around 20 farm plots early to finish leveling requirements smoothly.
- Pumpkins dramatically speed up taming of high-level animals.
- Apple trees are mostly for Stew crafting, not primary food.
- Level 1 and 3 perks make every single plot stronger, reducing the number needed.
- Farmer is mostly ineffective before crops begin to grow — plan early.
