You will not receive Island EXP for collecting crop yields from thecaretaker service,so it is not recommended to use the service until you reach maximum rank.If you run out of Seafarer's Cowries, the gardening service will be halted. The gardeners will gather up to 50yieldsfrom the crops, but you will need to retrieve them. If you do not, the gardeners will halt their service until you retrieve the yields.
