A new NPC has arrived in Build a Ring Farm, and he is not your typical questgiver. The Shady Farmer is a mysterious addition who hands out quests without telling you what you are working toward or what you will get for completing them. Here is where to find the Shady Farmer in Build a Ring Farm and everything we know about his quests so far.
Where to Find the Shady Farmer
The Shady Farmer can be found standing next to the Egg Shop in Build a Ring Farm. You can reach him by walking there manually or by clicking the Farm option at the top of the screen which will take you directly to the area. Once you arrive look for the NPC named Overgrown Farmer and interact with him to access his quests.
How the Shady Farmer Quests Work
This NPC operates very differently from most questgivers in the game. Unlike standard NPCs who show you their quest list upfront and reward you immediately after completing each one the Shady Farmer does neither of those things. His quests are hidden and he does not hand out any visible rewards after you complete them.
We have personally completed four of his quests at the time of writing and have not received any direct reward yet. It seems like his quest chain may be building toward a larger single reward at the end rather than giving out smaller prizes along the way. We will update this page as soon as we find out what completing his questline actually gives you.
All Shady Farmer Quests in Build a Ring Farm
The quests you receive from the Shady Farmer may vary between players but here are the first few we encountered in order:
| Quest | Objective |
|---|---|
| Quest 1 | Submit plants worth 1 Billion |
| Quest 2 | Fill the Composter on Floor 3 and pull the lever |
| Quest 3 | Attend 10 events |
Your quest order might be different from ours so do not worry if yours do not match exactly. The quests appear to be assigned dynamically so just work through whatever he gives you and keep track of your progress manually since his quest log does not show completion status.
We are continuing to work through his questline and will update this page with the full quest list and reward details as soon as we have them. Check back here for the latest. In the meantime, check out our Build a Ring Farm wiki.
