{{color|color=red|text=NOTE: Only use Lantern Helmet if you're farming using an axe.}}

== Rancher's Boots vs. Fermento Boots ==

You'll notice that in the armor progression, it's recommended to use 4/4 Fermento instead of 3/4 with Rancher's Boots.

'''This is for 3 main reasons:'''

# The maximum Farming Fortune granted by Fermento Boots is higher than Rancher's Boots.
#*Assuming both are hypermaxed, including Farming 60, Fermento Boots give up to 4 more Farming Fortune. The lower the farming level, the bigger the difference.
#*The difference here is very minimal for money, but it's still more, and it is useful for contests and collection leaderboards.
# Using 4/4 Fermento increases the chance for rare crop drops (Cropie, Squash and Fermento).
#*This increases your rates by up to 180k-540k coins per hour (using NPC sell prices).
#**Cropie: 180,000 
#**Squash: 540,000 
#**Fermento: 180,000 
# Most modern farm designs are designed with using 4/4 fermento in mind
#* Higher speed to make tuning possible as anything under 176 speed is not possible for fermento.
#* Some designs use 400 speed which means no tuning required: [[Farm_Designs#SunTzu_and_MelonKingDe_Melon_and_Pumpkin |see melon/pumpkin]].

== Lantern Helmet vs. Fermento Helmet ==

Once any reforge is used (even just Bustling), Fermento Helmet becomes better than Lantern Helmet in all cases.
*This is because the Lantern helmet has a lower rarity leading to reforges being better on Fermento.

PSTF101: Intro to Pest Farming

Publisher: '''Elite Farmers'''

Last Updated: July 15, 2025

= ''What is Pest farming?'' =
Pest Farming is a unique and different way of maximizing the crop output you have in Hypixel Skyblock. This involves manipulating the environment to favor the spawning of a particular type of pest, then harvesting dropped resources from them efficiently allowing you to make up to 31-36m/h. In this guide, you will get to know the basic concepts of Pest Farming; essential aspects will be explained in detail such as:

* '''Selecting the Right Pest''': Learn which pests offer the most lucrative rewards and how their fleeing patterns differ.
* '''Understanding Pest Spawning Mechanics''': Learn how factors like player proximity, environmental conditions, and nearby structures influence pest spawns.
* '''Mouse Traps''': Learn how to use Mouse Traps to gain passive income and have an advantage over others in farming contests.
* '''Building Efficient Pest Farms''': Explore various farm designs, from simple, low-maintenance setups to complex, high-output systems.
* '''Essential Equipment and Tools''': Learn about gear, enchants, and skills that maximize your efficiency in pest farming.
* '''Pest Farming''': Learn actual Pest Farming tips such as pet swapping and optimizing resource drops.

Through mastery of these principles, you can greatly improve the rate of resource collection, thereby unlocking many different and powerful items and upgrades within Hypixel Skyblock.

= ''Selecting the Right Pest'' =
First off, what is a pest? A pest is a small creature represented by a custom player head that spawns exclusively in the Garden in Hypixel Skyblock (except Rats, though they can’t be vacuumed in the hub). There are in total 11 types of pests, each having its own loot table. The Pests, their drops, and chances are as follows:

The Field Mouse also gives 50% more crop drops than normal. It should be noted that each pest has a 10% chance to drop a random bait (Compost, Honey Jar, Dung, Plant Matter, and Tasty Cheese) which is used to fuel the Sprayonator and [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Mouse_Trap '''Mouse Traps''']. Also if you are lucky you can drop a '''[https://hypixel-skyblock.fandom.com/wiki/Dung_Dye Dung Dye]''' 1/250,000 chance from pests, or 1/50,000 chance from a Field Mouse. When rolling for pest drops, '''[https://wiki.hypixel.net/Farming_Fortune Farming Fortune]''' is included into the general equation rather than magic find. The equation for pest drops are as follows:

<math>Drop Chance = Drop Chance * ( 1 + \left ( \frac{FarmingFortune + CropFortune + BonusFortune}{600} \right )</math>

When calculating pet drops, '''[https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pet_Luck Pet Luck]''' is also added to Farming Fortune and Crop Fortune.

<math>Drop Chance = Drop Chance * ( 1 + \left ( \frac{FarmingFortune + CropFortune + BonusFortune + PetLuck}{600} \right )</math>

Keep in mind that all drops greater than a 5% chance are not affected by farming fortune.

It is recommended to spend your pests at Phillip's shop for 40 pests to get +200 farming fortune for 30 minutes. While pest farming you can make these pests back and even more if you are efficient. The money gained from the extra farming fortune is greater than spending your pests on hedgehogs and Pesterminator 6 books and selling them.

So which pest should you try to farm, it depends. For money, currently and for the foreseeable future, the Bazaar market is leaning towards farming the Beetle Pest for its nether wart and the Pesterminator I books. That said if the price of Pesterminator I ever drops below 210,000 coins on the Bazaar, the Slug pest will be more profitable. For Ironman profiles, you should always farm Slugs for money since they have the best NPC sell price per pest. For crop collection you should always farm the pests with the corresponding drop to the collection or garden milestone you are trying to maximize. In regards to farming exp, Each pest drops a base 1,500 Farming XP, which is then influenced by your '''[https://wiki.hypixel.net/Farming_Wisdom Farming Wisdom]'''.

Pest drops are affected by Farming Fortune, but as shown not all pests are created as equals. Each pest has its own drops to a different scaling factor to Farming Fortune as shown below.

For example, at 1750 farming fortune, a rat would drop 51 enchanted pumpkins while an earthworm would drop 255 enchanted melons.

To calculate your drops the formula is:

<math>Drops = BaseDrops + \left ( \frac{Farming Fortune}{Crop Scaling Number} \right )</math>

= ''Pest Spawn Mechanics'' =
Starting at Garden Level V, a Pest has a 1/500 (0.2%) chance to spawn whenever a player breaks a crop in [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Garden '''The Garden'''.] Although you unlock pests at garden level 5, some pests such as the Beetle pest can only spawn at higher garden levels. This cool down can be reduced to 1/425 during Autumn by the '''[https://wiki.hypixel.net/Atmospheric_Filter Atmospheric Filter]''' (Dropped from the Mite Pest), and can also be halved by the Sprayonator perk. The Pest spawned is not affected by the crop broken, but specific Pests can become more common via the '''[https://wiki.hypixel.net/Sprayonator Sprayonator]''' or playing Pest Vinyls using the InfiniVacuum™ Hooverius. Note that the Pest vinyls don’t increase the chance of spawning pests, only that they increase the chance that the spawned pest is of your desired type.

The default cooldown between Pest spawns is 5 minutes and it can be modified using '''[https://hypixel-skyblock.fandom.com/wiki/Finnegan Finnegan]''' (Pest Eradicator Perk), '''[https://hypixel-skyblock.fandom.com/wiki/Pest_Vest Pest Vest]''', '''Pesthunter Equipment''', and the '''[https://hypixel-skyblock.fandom.com/wiki/Squeaky_Toy Squeaky Reforge]''' on Equipment. Keep in mind that pest cooldowns are additive, not multiplicative.

|Pest Hunter Equipment

|}
This means that the minimum achievable pest cooldown using 3/4 Pest Hunter Equipment and a Pest Vest, is approximately 1 minute and 15 seconds during Finnegan, and 2 minutes and 15 seconds when Finnegan is not mayor.

Whenever using the sprayonator, you need to select a bait to attract certain pests. Remember to use the correct bait to farm each pest for maximum efficiency

The only place that Pests may spawn is in the plot the player is farming in, or any directly adjacent plot (except diagonally). By default, only one Pest will spawn at a time, this can be increased with Bonus Pest Chance. Pests can also spawn while the player is outside The Garden, up to one per hour.

In addition to spawning on the plot you are farming at, they will also spawn on the highest point of the farm, this means that if you have a tall and complicated farm, it will be harder to catch them, wasting time

[https://hypixel-skyblock.fandom.com/wiki/Bonus_Pest_Chance ൠ '''Bonus Pest Chance'''] is the key strategy for pest farming, it is what allows you to make more than others who farm. There are many ways to get Bonus Pest Chance and the maximum you can currently obtain is 344.5% Bonus Pest Chance. However you really only need 300, you will want to have at least 300 pest chance so that you spawn 4 pests at a time (1 base spawn + 3 from Bonus Pest Chance). However having more than 4 pests on your garden at once can decrease your farming fortune, so just keep that in mind.
{| class="wikitable"

|}
These percentages can be reduced by having more Bonus Pest Chance, but you will want to have your normal farming gear when vacuuming up the pests for the most drops and drop chance, which will be covered in '''Tools and Equipment'''. The Reason for 4 pests is that when calculating your farming fortune on pest drops, it will minus the total amount of pests in your garden, then calculate the pest drops. Thus it is as though you had no reduction to farming fortune at all.

= Mouse Traps =
Mouse Traps are an important part of pest farming as they are the only way to spawn Field Mice. The Mouse Trap is the second tier of the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pest_Trap Pest Trap], and it is recommended to use Mouse Traps because they can store one more pest, and have a 3x chance to spawn a Field Mouse. This is a passive way to spawn pests as the traps fill up even when you are offline. The only downside to using traps is that they consume a bait for every pest caught, this can be expensive for new players, or annoying to get for Ironman players. The up sides to using traps is that you get extra pests and crop drops without putting in any work, you also spawn Field Mice that you can kill to gain drops and bestiary that increases your farming fortune and bonus pest chance(If you are using a brown bandana). The type of pest that spawn in traps are effected by the bait in the trap, and the vinyl you are playing on your vacuum. Using the correct vinyl paired with using specific bait, and planning a head of time can spawn a lot of specific pests that can give you an advantage in [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Jacob%27s_Farming_Contest Jacobs Contests].

= ''Building the Best Pest Farm'' =
[[File:ZachplaysAN's cane farm.png|thumb|397x397px]]
Although pests won’t spawn slower or faster depending on the crop you farm, the crop you farm can be a hindrance to vacuuming, spawning or finding pests. You will want an optimized farm, meaning as close to 20 blocks per second and you will want a one by one infinite farm, so you don’t have to spray multiple plots with the Sprayonator. However, all melon farms require multiple plots and are the current best crop to farm, so that is one exception. Although there are exceptions, the two best crops for pest farming, and are infinite (at Garden lvl 15) are the melon and the wheat farms. This being said, I do not recommend that you use any mega farms, farms such as the Grooveman 7.0 farm, as they are long, tall, and complicated. With the melon and wheat farms, you can place a layer of glass over the top of the farm so that the pests will always spawn on top as shown by this screenshot of [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJPSSQAQ9_iPwpJqnd4WSIw '''ZachplaysAN’s'''] sugarcane farm. These are just examples, but you can add a roof to any farm, just make sure when you build it to leave some space to build the roof because the build height in the garden is very low. Currently the best farm for coins is the melon farm. The reason for this is because farming melons normally makes the most money on average compared to other crops. Pest farming is not any different because you are still farming melons for most of the time. The only down sides to this are that it might be hard to get out of the farm, but you can solve this by using an [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Aspect_Of_The_Void Aspect of the Void], or warping to the infested plot. The second downside to using a melon farm is that you need to spray five plots every 30 minutes instead of one plot. The second option is the wheat farm, this is because you can achieve 20 block per second broken, and it is easily loopable, because of this, you can spawn a few more pests per hour than a melon farm. Over all, if you are going for coins, pest farming on a melon farm is slightly more profitable despite having to spray five plots.

= ''Tools and Equipment'' =
This section will be split into five sections, Armor, Equipment, Pets, Pest tools, and Attribute Shards. Each one of these sections is vital for pest farming with maximum efficiency.

== ''Armor'' ==
To begin, let's talk about armor. You will need two sets of armor to maximize farming potential, Fermento and Biohazard armor. Fermento and Biohazard should be maxed differently which includes the following. (You may chose to add Recombobulators and Overgrown Grass to your Biohazard armor if you have the money and plan on pest farming for a long time.)

{{subtext|color=gray||text=*Pesterminator is less important on Fermento than on Biohazard, so using Pesterminator 5 on Fermento is perfectly fine and will have minimal impact, although if you plan on farming of a long time it could be worth it. If you plan on farming for a long time you can also chose to put a recombobulator and mossy reforge on biohazard armor.}}

== ''Equipment'' ==
The next section is the Equipment that you need.
{| class="wikitable"
|'''Upgrades'''
|'''Pesthunter’s Necklace'''
|'''Pest Vest'''

(You may chose to add Recombobulators to your equipment if you have the money and plan on pest farming for a long time. If you are equipment swapping, you can get away with a lower level of green thumb level on the pest equipment if you are low on money.)

Now the reason that we are using the Pest Vest aside from the Lotus Cloak, Pesthunter’s Cloak, or Zorro Cape, is that the Pest Vest gives two unique bonuses. It provides +10 Bonus Pest Chance and also reduces the spawn cooldown of pests by 15%, shortening our time between pest spawns as opposed to 10% reduction from the Pesthunter’s Cloak.

== '''''Equipment swapping''''' ==
Another Strategy you can use is to have a full Lotus Equipment Set that you can switch too to get more farming fortune when farming during pest cool down and when vacuuming pests. This strategy is optional and can increase your profit, especially if you are just starting. The only downside is it costs more money to get the set up, and it adds an extra step when swapping your armor and pets. If you want to equipment swap while pest farming, here is what you will need:

== ''Pets'' ==
For Pets you will need the '''[https://wiki.hypixel.net/Mooshroom_Cow_Pet Mooshroom Cow Pet]''' (if you have 1,172 strength or more; otherwise use the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Elephant_Pet Elephant Pet]; both are for main fortune), '''[https://wiki.hypixel.net/Slug_Pet Slug Pet]''' (for bonus pest chance; although you can also use the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Mosquito_Pet Mosquito Pet] instead, since it has an additional ability for 50% more effectiveness with vinyls), and '''[https://wiki.hypixel.net/Hedgehog_Pet Hedgehog Pet]''' (pest damage and Farming Fortune on pests).
{| class="wikitable"
|Upgrades
|Mooshroom Cow OR Elephant
|Hedgehog

|Legendary
|Legendary (base)
|Any
|-
|'''Brown Bandana'''
|
|

|-
|'''Green Bandana'''
|✅
|✅
|
|}
Now of course you will want to have your pets as close to or at level 100 to have the best efficiency. With that being said you can and should substitute the Mooshroom Cow Pet with the '''[https://wiki.hypixel.net/Elephant_Pet Elephant Pet]''' if you have less than 1,172 strength since the elephant will provide more farming fortune. If you are farming for money however (opposed to a contest) you should always use a Mooshroom Cow (even at 0 strength) as the bonus mushrooms generated by the “Mushroom Eater” perk will add a boost to your income.

== ''Tools'' ==
Regarding tools, we recommend that you use whatever specialized tool that Anita will sell you for each crop (eg. Melon Dicer for Melons). There used to be an exception in the form of the '''[https://hypixel-skyblock.fandom.com/wiki/Daedalus_Axe Daedelus Axe]''' for farming mushrooms. However with the new update, using the Daedalus Axe will '''NOT''' allow you to break blocks.

You will also need a '''Sprayonator''' and the '''Infinivacumm™ Hooverus''' to spray for your pest on your 1x1 farm and the vacuum to play vinyls and suck up pests.

== ''Attribute Shards'' ==
With the addition of update 0.23 The Foraging Update, Hypixel introduced Attribute Shards revamping the attribute system and providing a way to further improve farming. There are many Shards that Improve farming in general but we will only cover the shards that only affect pests and their drops.

Pest Shard: Also known as the Pest Luck Attribute, this is an uncommon shard that requires 64 shards to max. You obtain these by using a pocket black hole or a lasso on any pests in your garden (also vacuum kills while using salts). Pest Luck shards give a +2% -> +20% chance to obtain Rare loot from Pests. This is a must-have shard, as a +20% buff to rare drops, such as polished pumpkins, tightly tied hay bales, and other RNG drops will significantly increase your hourly rates.

Praying Mantis Shard: This is the Insect Power Shard and is uncommon requiring 64 shards to max. These are acquired by fusing 5 Pest shards and 5 more Pest shards at the Fusion Machine in Galatea. The effect the Insect Power shard gives is +5% -> +50% more damage to pests. This is one of the less useful shards as currently a fully maxed vacuum and hedgehog pet will instantly suck up pests. This can, however, be useful during the years with Mayor Derpy as all mobs including pests have double health.

Termite Shard: The Infiltration Shard is an uncommon shard needing 64 shards to max. The Infiltration shard is obtained from fusing 5 Praying Mantis Shards and 5 of any Bug Family Shard in the Fusion Machine on Galatea. This Shard is more useful than the last providing +3 -> +30 Farming Fortune if the Garden plot currently has a pest in it. This fortune also applies to each pest when you use your vacuum to suck them up.

Lunar Moth Shard: The Lunar Power Shard is an epic shard requiring 32 shards to max. Unlike all the previous shards mentioned, this shard is useful for normal farming as well. Lunar Power shards provide +5 -> +50 Farming Fortune during the night. It is obtained by Fusing 5 ladybug shards with 5 of any Rare or higher Bug family shard. Since you will already have your garden set to night as opposed to day for 3X stats on your biohazard armor, this is a great opportunity for more farming fortune.

(more efficient video below)

The video above was annoying and not loading or being able to be inserted, so you can use this link to see what you are supposed to do. Otherwise here is a summary of what was done in the video:

# Spray your plot with your bait of choice.
# Equip Mooshroom Cow or Elephant pet and start to farm normally
# Once it is getting close to 2 minutes and 15 seconds, switch from your Fermento Armor to your Biohazard Set (and swap to 3/4 pest hunter equipment and pest vest if you are equipment swapping).
# Switch to Mosquito pet, and start farming
# Once the Pests have spawned, type “/setspawn” in the chat (or use a hot key)
# Then switch to Hedgehog pet and Fermento Armor (and swap to lotus equipment if you are equipment swapping)
# After vacuuming the pests, type “/warp garden” (or use a hot key)
# Repeat starting on step “2”
[https://youtu.be/JetujO8DP7s Advanced Pest Farming Video with key binds and equipment swaps]

A useful tip is to use key binds and '''[https://wiki.hypixel.net/Autopet AutoPet Rules]''' to make the process faster and more efficient. Here are the commands you should choose to key bind. Key bind “/setspawn” and “/warp garden” to return to the farm faster. The rules you should have in Auto Pet are as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|You equip your wardrobe slot [whatever set Fermento is in].
|Summon Hedgehog
|-
|You throw a fishing hook.
|Summon Mooshroom Cow
|-
|You equip your wardrobe slot [whatever set Biohazard is in].
|Summon Mosquito
|}
These pet rules will equip the best pet as you farm, just remember to throw out a fishing rod to swap back to your Mooshroom Cow Pet after you kill the pest and you will have the best efficiency when pest farming. It is recommended to add an exception to the fishing rod rule making the pet equip only when on the Garden, this will make it easier if you start fishing on other islands.

MrDragonBoi: Added a change regarding a new gathering stat introduced in the [Foraging Update](https://hypixel.net/threads/hypixel-skyblock-0-23-the-foraging-update.5921261/) which is disabled in the Garden for some reason, but I do not know if this was intentional or if its an accident.

== Clearing Plots ==
==== Basic Clearing ====

The fastest way to clear plots is to;

# <s>Start by clearing the trees with a [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Treecapitator Treecapitator] or a [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Spruce_Axe Spruce Axe]</s><ref>The [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Sweep Sweep] stat is disabled in the Garden, so using a Treecapitator is no longer an option, as Sweep being disabled will make the process significantly more time-consuming.</ref> Use an Efficiency 5 [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Golden_Shovel/ Golden shovel] and a Efficiency 5 [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Golden_Pickaxe/ Golden pickaxe] to dig the dirt and cobblestone above y=71. 
# Then clear bushes using a [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Garden_Scythe Garden Scythe], you can still do this step if you have [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Sam%27s_Scythe Sam's Scythe] but I would recommend just using step 1 if you can.

==== Clearing to Bedrock ====

{{color|color=red|text=NOTE: If you are going to be making a custom farm design '''DO NOT''' skip this step}} 

To create custom farm designs you will need a plot emptied to bedrock, the fastest way to achieve this is to use [https://minecraft.wiki/w/TNT TNT].



# you can get TNT at [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Mad_Redstone_Engineer the Redstone Engineer] in the basement of the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Builder%27s_House Builder's house]. 
# paste Super Flat preset 
# place a sufficient amount of TNT above the preset to blow up all of the dirt 
# you can get rid of the rest of the dirt using a shovel

{{color|color=red|text= This will blow up nearby plots as-well, if you want to avoid that, use a [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Builder%27s_Ruler '''Builder's ruler'''] }}

== Basic Information ==

* <big>Farming Direction:</big> You have built a farm in the "wrong" orientation you can still farm the farm. They tell you to build the farm in a certain direction for ease of building but it doesn't affect the actual farming. You can find the right angle by changing your yaw by intervals of 90° until you are facing the right direction.

* <big>"Outdated":</big> If a farm is featured in this list it is still used regularly by elites regardless of the title of the video linked.

* <big>Black cat:</big> The black cat bug was patched if new speeds are required for the farm there will be a note, please refer to the [[Frequently_Asked_Questions#Which_pet_is_best?|faq]] for which pets to use.

* <big>Fermento vs Rancher Boots:</big> Maxed fermento boots offer more farming fortune and money then ranchers boots but dont have the utility of being able to change your speed, learn more [[Armor#Rancher's_Boots_vs._Fermento_Boots|here]].
