It’s a 'nice-to-have' skill, but not essential. Keep in mind that refined materials do not count toward Quartermaster tasks.

Prevents you from taking damage from your own rockets and explosives.

Your satchel charges will now always explode.

Speeds up the raiding process.

Speeds up the raiding process.

Easily destroys easy and medium-tier bases. It’s always a great way to start a raid. However, watch out for SAM sites, as they will shoot down your MLRS strike—make sure to destroy them first (if they are smoking, they are disabled).

TIP: If you plan on raiding, the 'Brits Boom Stick' is your best option—a revolver that fires rockets. For taking down Bradleys, focus on getting the 'Ashmaker,' which shoots HV rockets. Lastly, for taking out helicopters, the M2 is the ideal choice. All of these legendary weapons can be found here.

Gaining Scrap/RP

When starting your first harvest of hemp or other plants, keep in mind thatlegendary sets aren't the only requirement for a high yield. There are also 'must-have' skills for these tasks. Here are the most important skills to unlock in the Harvesting section:

Increases the yield from wild collectibles.

Increases the yield from your grown crops.

Now grants the maximum yield from all wild collectibles.

You now receive the maximum yield from your grown plants.

This is one of the best ultimates because it allows you to manually choose the genes.
Note that only the very next seed you plant will have the selected genes.

The remaining skills in this tree are not essential. However, feel free to unlock them if they suit your specific playstyle.

Late-Game

There isn’t much to say about late game, if you are here it means you already know your preferred playstyle so i am sure you will already have unlocked the skills you are more interested in, what i can suggest is to unlock the Crafting Tree as it helps you with the more demanding quests like Boom for the Boom God.
