Hi,
I read, that previously farming was a hobby and didn't need to be learned. I see, that nowadays you have to learn it, to gather plants, because I see tier 1 requirement. However I cannot find farming teacher anywhere. Is it bugged or is it because I have trial account? What do I need to do, to farm plants?

			Attack the plants.	
----
			yes, the prompt will show up to harvest, but it doesn't actually do anything. Shoot, stab and crush your way to EXTREME FARMING!!! * explosions, cheesy neon graphics *	
----
			On Nexus we farm with prejudice. You never know when that plant will fight back.On a serious note, that's actually a little sad. We have plants to harvest. We have plants that attack. We have mining nodes that attack. We should at least have a few harvestable plants that attack and we could fight for bonus materials.

go to cut down a tree, its the tail of a stem dragon.....

			Thanks. I thought, I've tried attacking it, but it looks I haven't :P

Was about to post something regarding farming. When hovering the mouse above the plant, it clearly shows that it requries Farmer Teir 1, so where is the trainer? We have a trainer who teaches you to cook, so why not
a farmer? Just *attack the plant* just make much sense of using a Shotgun to pick flowers, or firing an AK-47 to pick up a rose.
 
I like you guys and gals to be serious with me. Is there really a farmer trainer or is it something that doesnt exist? That doesnt make much sense does it? Unless us people who is clueless are being played with on purpose to tease us until we figure things out on our own.

That made me mad (too) i want to be a Farmer, but .. they cuz it somewhere :(
I check'd the interwebz, no Trainer, i hope, they change it cuz "Farmer-Loune comming soon™"! #badwordplay

There used to be a Farming trainer in Closed Beta. Since Farming ended up being just a hobby that only granted you the ability to kill plants (there was originally going to be more too it but they devoted their time to solving issues in real Tradeskills), one of the specific pieces of feedback we gave that they acted upon was there was no point in making you go to an NPC when it could just be auto unlocked at the correct level. There is still a Farming skill, it is just granted invisibly when you reach level 10.
 
They kept the Cooking Trainer because it involves buying recipes and using them at a station so they felt it was worth leading you to it with a breadcrumb.
 
As for attacking the plant not making sense? I suppose it doesn't if you're expecting this game to be like others. However since nearly everything on Nexus is out to kill you, it doesn't seem too unreasonable to me. Besides, it is far more seamless to have something that works simply by using the attacks you already have, instead of Yet another clickable object (in a game that frankly has too many), or yet another tool to equip.

			Why making fun of you? WildStar is in some point totally different than other MMO's. It's ok to ask.

			i really hate this mechanic, because as an engineer i need to use builder to get resources, but don't get that from flowers, so picking up high level plants takes forever.

			You gain energy as well as crit. Dunno what you're talking about.

Anyways, thanks for answering my question, as others i have asked just made fun of me (consider that i wasnt a closed beta player).

who and where was someone making fun of you about this?
----
			Man.. that's pretty messed up.. glad you found the answers though :)

			Sometimes people get a little snippy when something slips by someone and they don't think to ask about it until a bunch of levels and zones later. Not defending it, but I've seen it happen. No need to be mean about it because it can happen to anyone, there's a lot to absorb with this game.

			Like for example, I just learned last night I can just hold down my multi-tap abilities to cast them, without button mashing.. and I'd been playing since launch :)
