Best lp gain through FARMING (Besides harvesting)

Post by Rindelas »

This is about actually farming.. like, crops. Not just farming lp. Besides harvesting and planting, what should I craft with what crop to maximize lp gain? I was thinking maybe it's wheat for straw hat making and then making flour.. But if there's better ways it would be nice to let me know.

Flour -> Bread Dough

Plant Fibres -> Dream Catchers or Linen for some profit

Pumpkins -> Jack o' Lantern Masks (????

Carrots + Peapods -> Spring Stew, although annoying if you don't have a Metal Cauldron. Better stick to eating them.

Not much else I can think of.

Don't forget to spam bread dough from the flour, that's where the real lp are.

I made a graph for comparison purposes.
It is assumed that:
a) all necessary ingredients are collected by others and deposited near you (of course, "others" can be your own alts)
b) All your relevant stats/skills are high enough so that no softcaps take effect.
Note: bread includes both turning wheat to flour and flour to bread dough. Would be more if the flour was also produced by others at fast enough rates - however, that's probably more than one person can handle even with multiple clients.

My favourite is producing cloth, as that method of gaining LP actually produces something useful. With a decent quality loom, it beats dowsing rods when using regular q10 branches.

The LP gains seem pretty tame compared to other numbers I've heard tossed around. Supposedly mining is a really good LP grind?

Personally I earn enough LP doing useful stuff that I don't think it's worth grinding for the extra 40% an hour or whatever it is.

how does dowsing rod LP increase with crop quality? does that mean the quality of branch? edit: of course it does. reading comprehension ftw.

Aye, it means branch quality for the dowsing rods.
