1011 Corn Sapling is obtained by harvesting wild corn plants in the Foothills. There is no vendor that sells Corn Seeds, so the first stack has to be foraged.

1415 Plants in Windrose take roughly 70 minutes of real time to grow to full size, with growth continuing while the player is offline. Press E on a mature plant to harvest the Corn plus a fresh seed, so a planted row never runs the seed stock down.

1819 As with other crops, a hired farming worker can tend a corn plot in the background for a seed batch and a small Piastre fee, returning a large yield after several hours even while offline. This suits corn well because it feeds so many recipes.

2627 Set up Foothills Fertile Soil before planting. Corn will not take in the weaker starter soil, so stockpile the Foothills tier first.Always harvest the seed back. Breaking a plant with a tool can waste the returned Corn Seeds; press E on the ripe plant instead.Plant a few extra corners. Corn is consumed by both cooking and distillation, so demand outpaces a single seedbed quickly.
