# Locked YIELD

{% hint style="danger" %}
Information on this page is subject to change based on epoch-to-epoch analysis.
{% endhint %}

YIELD reward from [Seeds & Farming](/the-game/seeds-and-farming.md) accrues in two forms:

* **Unlocked YIELD:** A base YIELD reward is immediately harvestable.
* **Locked YIELD:** In addition to Unlocked YIELD, players receive Locked YIELD, an in-game currency that can be used during special events or unlocked through particular game mechanics attached to [Expeditions](/the-game/adventurers/expeditions.md) (starting with Phase 2), and the [Sage](/the-game/locations-and-npcs/sage.md) (currently live).

The reward rate of Locked YIELD depends on a weekly multiplier that decreases as the game ages...
