Changes

The quality of crops comes in three four levels: regular,  [[File:Silver_Quality.png|16px|link=]] silver, and  [[File:Gold Quality.png|16px|link=]] gold, and  [[File:Iridium Quality.png|16px|link=]] iridium. Quality is determined when a crop is harvested. Normally, harvested crops are almost all of regular quality, with a few at higher silver or gold quality levels. The average quality can be increased by planting seeds into [[Fertilizer|fertilized]] soil. Note that iridium quality is possible only with [[Deluxe Fertilizer]]. Increasing [[Farming#Farming Skill|Farming Skill]] also increases the chance to harvest a quality crop. If a [[Seed Maker]] turns a higher-quality crop into seeds, the seeds are '''no more likely''' to produce higher-quality crops when grown and harvested.

Higher quality crops command higher prices when sold, and deliver greater [[energy]] and [[health]] benefits when eaten. If given as a gift to an NPC who likes or loves the crop, a silver or , gold , or iridium quality crop gives a higher number of [[friendship]] points. Crop quality has '''no effect''' on [[Cooking|cooked foods']] health or energy gains, or on the quality of [[Artisan Goods]] produced.

The quality star of a crop in inventory is supposed to animate animates when it is of the highest quality possible (goldiridium). However, as of {{version|1.2|v1.2}}, this animation occurs only for flower crops.
