Farming and Cooking(as it is)

Mtndewme

Let me preface this by stating that I am well aware that this is all placeholder.
With that being said, some things I hope to see in the future:
There is a strong need for a "Butcher"(which may be in artisan skills)
Butcher would be able to salvage all materials for both cooking & armorsmithing/leatherworking
There needs to be a "hay" & "Chicken Feed" recipe for quality of feed to raise the quality of the livestock
There needs to be a "Pen" to put livestock in that has "feed" times.
"Feed" Quality along with livestock "Quality" Will provide "Random Quality" & "Random Amounts" of droppings, Milk, & Eggs of said quality Livestock & Feed. I.E. Rare livestock w/Uncommon Feed can only provide Uncommon/Common droppings, etc. Legendary Feed & Legendary Livestock can provide up to Legendary items.

You could go a step further and say, "livestock Quality" controls the "random" quality of items, and "Feed Quality" controlls the "random" amount of items.

I don't think that there is a problem with going out to farm droppings or getting them from fellow players either, I don't think that this system should technically be able to replace that, but it should be able to help supplement it.

Thank you for coming to my wishful thoughts.

This reminds me of islands from Albion Online. That said, I am sure most complaints on here about Artisan skills are going to be met with "Just wait until Phase 2/3", etc.

I like your ideas of farming droppings though! Connecting feed quality with droppings quality is smart
