Buying notes

  • Buy Potato when a single harvest would push your balance over the Uncommon seed threshold.
  • Do not run Potato as a sustained loop — the replanting cost and downtime add up.
  • Time the harvest with an active mutation window to maximize the one-shot value.
  • Potato nets 26 Shillings profit per harvest (84 minus 58). A single Potato harvest plus 46 Shillings in savings gets you to Cabbage (72) or nearly to Bamboo (88) in the Uncommon tier.

FAQs

Use the FAQ space for decision nuance and edge cases after the buying verdict is already clear.

Is Potato Seed the best Common seed overall?

For a single payout, yes. Potato's 84 base sell is the highest in the Common tier, with 26 Shillings profit per harvest (45% ROI). For sustained income over multiple cycles, Blueberry's repeat harvests at 48 per cycle outperform because you never pay the seed cost again.

Is Potato Seed worth the 58 Shilling cost?

Yes, when used strategically. The 26-Shilling profit in 1.1 minutes is the best single-harvest return at Common tier. One Potato harvest can push your balance from 46 Shillings to 72, enough for a Cabbage Seed — your first Uncommon crop. That tier jump is the real payoff.

Potato Seed vs Blueberry Seed — which should I choose?

Potato (58 cost, 84 sell, single) gives a bigger one-time payout. Blueberry (34 cost, 48 sell, repeat) earns more over 3+ cycles without replanting. Choose Potato when you need a specific balance threshold reached in one harvest. Choose Blueberry for steady income.
