Introducing the Farmer's Handbook!

     We have yet another column addition to the site. We'd like to present, the Farmer's Handbook!

The format will be one article per map and material rarity so in essence there will be two articles per map. One will be covering the standard materials such as ores, wood and crops, while the other will cover the less common materials such as fangs, scales, totems, etc.
