Farm Degree (SoSFoMT)

Points can be earned by selling various types of items through the Shipping Bin.

For example, selling 400 Potatoes will earn 4 points, while after reaching 10,000 Potatoes, further sales will no longer provide additional points.

2. First Sale Bonus

The first sale of each item type will earn 5 points. This bonus applies to every item type sold for the first time, such as Cucumber, Honey, Milk, and others.

3. Shipping Memo

Selling at least one of every item type listed in the Shipping Memo will grant an additional 10 Farm Degree Points.

Points are awarded only once for each type of letter. For example, if you receive a New Year’s letter from Ellen, you will receive 11 points. If you receive the same letter from Ellen the following year, you will not receive additional points.

However, if you also receive a letter from Thomas for the first time that same year, you will receive another 11 points from that letter.

All received letters are stored on the bookshelf in your house.
