Farming or gathering experience (SPOILER)

[Sophie]

Just wondering if anyone knew whether fiber plants gave farming experience or gathering experience when harvested?

Why do you want to know?
If you want large amounts of fibre in the late game I would not use fibre seeds and instead reccomend deconstucting grass starter but otherwise cannot help you much, sorry, though I would assume none at all or is so than foraging because you don't really "farm" them.
Good luck

In theory you would gain farming experience. However, fiber sells for so little (1g) that the calculation that determines how much xp to give comes out as 0.

float experience = (float)(16.0 * Math.Log(0.018 * (double)price + 1.0, Math.E));
if (junimoHarvester == null)
{
    Game1.player.gainExperience(0, (int)Math.Round(experience));
}
