To get to Farmer Winkin's farm, you must talk to a Tool Leprechaun at any of the Farming patches to get there (or just right-click him and click 'Teleport').



Once inside, you can go talk to Mrs Winkin for a detailed introduction of the mini-game or by looking at the Signposts nearby for information on what to do. Your points will be recorded and shown to you in the top-right portion of your game screen.



Next you must get your flags so you can flag the seed spots. You can obtain them from Mrs Winkin if you talk to her about what to do outside in the farm or you can talk to Farmer Blinkin and get them from him. Your first set of 10 are free, but after that they are 500gp each if you lose them. If you leave the mini-game through the portal, your flags will be returned, and you'll gain 10gp for each Ogleroot you have.

Playing The Game:

Once you have your flags and spade, head out into the farm by climbing over the stiles. Now you have three options from these holes: Dig, Flag, and Inspect. A good way to limit your loss of flags and make sure before you flag or dig, inspect the hole. We ADVISE you to inspect first to be very sure what your next option will be. Only dig in spots where you are certain that there are no seeds. This is the best strategy. When you inspect a hole, a thing will pop on and off underneath your Points amount on the top-right corner of your screen.



When you dig a hole, there are three things that can happen. One: A number pops up where you dug, two: A bunch of numbers and a large space appears, or three: Seeds show up from the ground. When you dig and a number shows up, you get one point for digging between 1-8 times. This is where we advise you to Inspect the holes first before digging just in case you dig up some seeds on accident. Note that the number indicates how many spaces adjacent to the location have seeds.

When you dig and a bunch of numbers and a large space is shown, you have unlocked a patch that tells you that there is no seed in that area. When this happens, you will receive some points (no exact amount.) If you dig up a seed, you will lose 10 points.

When you determine the position of a hole with a seed or are very sure, flag the hole with one of your flags. This will summon the Farmer to come and dig the seed up. If you are successful and a seed is dug up the Farmer will reward you and those around you with a random amount of points, dependent on your Farming level. Playing this mini-game with a large number of people will allow each player to get bonus rewards for other's success. Rabbits, however, will also be summoned when you place a flag. Ogleroots, when used with the rabbits will fend them off and you obtain 30 Hunter experience.



When you are done, you may leave the farms through the portal on the north-east corner of her housing area. You will be returned to the area where you teleported via the Leprechaun.

Hints:

When you are in a predicament where you have a mass area found and you can't find the right hole because you've inspected them all, here's a hint. When you have this completed, you can search for the holes that are in between areas that are filled with numbers and only a few holes remain in the middle of it, you can flag a spot in there. In the picture below shows an example of what we mean. Note: It's not 100% that it's a seed, but it's a hint that's helpful and saves some time.
