Levels 11–20: Working Homestead

Chapter 2: Working Homestead

Level milestone: Ranch Level 20

This chapter contains 10 sequential Journey objectives. Complete each objective before moving to the next.

1. Expand the Working Fields

Plant a larger working area. Higher-level Ranches need consistent input before they can support serious production.

Requirement: 14 plantings

Reward: 140 Ranch XP + 150 RC

How to complete: Plant crops, specialty plants, flowers, or saplings inside your Ranch claim.

2. Bring in the Harvest

Harvest at scale. This is where your Ranch begins feeling like a production business instead of a starter plot.

Requirement: 28 harvests

Reward: 148 Ranch XP + 160 RC

How to complete: Harvest fully-grown crops on your Ranch.

3. Grow the Herd

Add or raise more livestock so your Ranch economy is not dependent on a single source of goods.

Requirement: 2 livestock purchases/additions

Reward: 156 Ranch XP + 170 RC

How to complete: Use the Ranch Hand livestock menu or the matching Market vendor to add livestock.

4. Stewardship Routine

Perform regular care and maintenance. Large Ranches only stay profitable when welfare is kept under control.

Requirement: 4 care actions

Reward: 164 Ranch XP + 180 RC

How to complete: Feed or clean the Ranch. Either care action counts.

5. Contract Network

Complete contracts. Contracts teach you to react to changing demand instead of selling the same thing forever.

Requirement: 1 claimed contracts

Reward: 172 Ranch XP + 190 RC

How to complete: Complete and claim a Ranch contract.

6. County Market Run

Move a meaningful amount of goods through the Farmers Market. The shared economy becomes more important as you grow.

Requirement: 48 market units

Reward: 180 Ranch XP + 200 RC

How to complete: Sell Ranch goods through Market vendors or player booth transactions.

7. Build the Operation

Develop your unlocked property with useful farm, pen, workshop or storage construction.

Requirement: 16 placed building/workshop blocks

Reward: 188 Ranch XP + 210 RC

How to complete: Place useful building/workshop blocks inside your unlocked Ranch land.

8. Specialized Production

Use your profession and production systems to create a broader flow of Ranch goods.

Requirement: 2 Produce Crate opens

Reward: 196 Ranch XP + 220 RC

How to complete: Open the Produce Crate interface from the Ranch Hand.

Chapter specialization objective: Chapter 2 uses the produce_open activity for this step. The required amount is 2.

9. Demand & Opportunity

Watch Market Demand and sell when opportunity appears. Advanced Ranching is about timing as much as volume.

Requirement: 1 sales into active Market Demand

Reward: 204 Ranch XP + 230 RC

How to complete: Wait for a Market Demand event and sell the currently demanded commodity.

10. Reach Ranch Level 20

Finish this chapter by growing the Ranch itself. Every ten levels represents a major stage of your Ranch legacy.

Requirement: 20 Ranch level

Reward: 212 Ranch XP + 240 RC

How to complete: Earn Ranch XP and RoostCoin, then use Ranch Hand → Ranch Upgrade when you meet the next level requirement.

This objective checks your actual Ranch level. Reach Level 20; accumulated Journey event progress does not substitute for the Ranch level.
