What's the lowest level I could pick/plant a Poison Ivy to get my Diary done, how to do it?

 

I've heard that assist system isn't going to help.

 

And please, do not suggest using Spicy stews as I don't have any luck with them. (I tried to gain 4 smithing levels with stews which had 2 doses of spice in it and the most I gained was 2)

You could use greenman's ale, you can buy it in yanille.

 

It raises your farming by 2, I think..

 

 

 

EDIT: I think some familiars raise your farming too.

Can anyone confirm if assisting works or not?

 

Also I hope there is something that gives more than 2 lvls :D

Assisting doesn't work. You can use a Garden Pie, which gives a +3 bonus.

Misterdeathbringer is correct that some familiars can raise your farming level.

 

 

 

-Dreadfowl: boosts by one level (lvl 4 summoning)

 

-Compost Mound: boosts by 1 and 2% (lvl 28 summoning)

 

-Stranger Plant: boosts by 1 and 4% (lvl 64 summoning)

 

 

 

You can use the assist system for farming on all but to farm a quest item or any tree.
