Farmers wield a hoe, like most of the Mod's farming NPCs, which they also use to defend themselves when attacked. They can be found in all types of settlements.
They sell their produce (mainly food and milk) and buy what they need for their business like hoes, bonemeal and buckets. You need positive or neutral Rhúdel alignment to trade with them.
Hiring[]
Besides trading, the farmer also allows you to hire farmhands. The player must have at least +50 Rhúdel alignment. Farmhands cost 40 silver coins, but the cost decreases as the player gains alignment.
Upon hiring a farmhand from a Easterling farmer, the player earns the achievement "Fields of Rhúnaer".
