Glow Worm Farm

Looks like this article or section is a stub and missing info. You can help out by expanding it.

The Glow Worm Farm is a crafter learned from a recipe that can be purchased from Einar for 2,000 Gold at Fishing level 7.

It allows The Player to make Glow Worms and advanced Fertilizer from different food sources. Depending on what is used for the worms, you will receive Glow Worms and either HarvestBoost Fertilizer or QualityUp Fertilizer.

Description

“	This farm filled with glow worms makes advanced fertilizer. Remember, the worms love fruit!	”
–In-Game Item Description

Notes

Important Note: With the recent change to the worm farms, SpeedyGro Fertilizer is no longer available from the farm, and can only be purchased from the Gardening Guild store.

• Processing time is 60 minutes for all items, as in real life minutes, not in-game cycles.
• Star quality and regular quality do not produce the same results for all items.
• When a cooked or grilled item contains an "Any" ingredient, the amount of output may vary. This Spreadsheet contains research into various types of resources and meals for glow worm and fertilizer production.
• If you do not care about the fertilizer output, it is more cost effective to vendor ingredients that sell for more than 16 Gold per worm and buy Mountain Morels from the General Store.
• Currently there is a issue that dishes which contain "Any" ingredient and obtained without cooking (e.g., given by villager, sent by mail, or rewarded by Quests) produce only 1x Glow Worm and 1x QualityUp Fertilizer (or 2x HarvestBoost Fertilizer, depending on which type of fertilizer would normally be produced by the dish).

Recipes

Worm/fertilizer output is, with few exceptions, based on value (including star bonus) using formula:

 Number of  Glow Worm = round(Item Value  Gold / 50) (minimum 1  Glow Worm)

 Number of  HarvestBoost Fertilizer = 2 + round(Item Value  Gold / 10) (minimum 3  HarvestBoost Fertilizer)
 Number of  QualityUp Fertilizer = 6 + round(Item Value  Gold / 4) (minimum 6  QualityUp Fertilizer, though some dishes seem to be exceptions.)

Note: rounding of midpoint (X.5) might be weird due to floating point computations, but should round down. Exceptions exist.

The Glow Worm Farm can make Glow Worms from the following resources (NOTE: amounts should be as found in-game in 0.180.):
