Holy crap, I just happened to watch this video because I was looking into Farming, and it just happens to be you again making super well documented educational guides. Awesome to see you're keeping at it!
Congratz on 100 subs brother. Just getting back into the game after a good year break and have been feeling motivated to grow my cash stack to 2bil and your videos have been nice to listen to while I afk away. Farming was a skill I've neglected as I didn't really want to get into it despite having pushed it to 70 with TH lamps as it was one of my only skills lacking in level and this video is the kind of motivation I need to add a bit more profit to my daily grind.
@MorganMindfulness I very much had a similar experience to you! Always neglected farming. One thing I found that made it easier for me was to set up some nice bank presets so I wasn't wasting time fumbling in my bank. Oh, and don't forget to use player owned farm! Good luck!
Another advice use the herb u are planting to make other items like incense stick or potion u can earn more profit like that as well the exp from the process
Tldr; At current GE prices, the ultracompost is technically better than the free supercompost from the master cape, but it is only marginally so. Personally, I would stick with the master cape, because it sounds a lot more annoying to have to worry about carrying buckets around as you complete your runs. Great question! The master cape automatically provides supercompost on its own, so we are looking to see if the additional life given by the ultracompost outweighs the cost of using it. Assuming you have plant power 4, and are planting dwarf weeds with 120 farming as a case study: Ultracompost instant buy = -6099GP Grimy Dwarf Weed Instant Sell Price = 5390GP Probability Of Saving An Herb Life = 32.73% Expected Yield Per Patch With Master Cape Supercompost = 25.27 Herbs Expected Yield Per Patch With Ultracompost = 26.76 Gain in herbs with Ultracompost = 1.49 Extra GP From Extra Herbs = 1.49*5390 - 6099 = 1932.1GP So it looks like gain in herbs from ultracompost outweighs the free supercompost from the master cape, but only minorly.
