Hops

Hops are the crop for beer. They grow only on a vine trellis in the vineyard, from 4 Hop Seeds, and the seed’s requirement is Farming 7 (see Farming). At the Brewing Stand, 5 Hops, 5 Water and 10 Fuel brew 5 Beer (8 with the Brewer perk), with Farming mastery 6; the stand and the recipe come with Brewing (80 green).

A trellis grows with a skill of 6, one short of what hops need, so some growing steps fail until the Vineyard Upgrade (skill 11) or a fertilizer on the trellis. Even so, most succeed: 85 in 99 per step.

Notes

  • A full trellis gives 6 Hops, just over one batch of beer, plus 6 seeds and 2 Leaves.
  • The town Brewery buys them and sells both Hops and Hop Seeds. Selling it Hops earns a little happiness: 30 a week are worth 2 at its first tier.
  • It is also an alchemy ingredient with two green runes and one blue.
  • Studying it costs 2 Science and 2 Faith and gives 40 green.
