fields of mistria most profitable crop: current season math

Compare fields of mistria most profitable crop rows with sourced seed cost, growth, regrowth, base yield, raw sale value, and one visible 28-day convention.

Before you buy seeds: fix the day, goal, and field size

Prerequisites

Record the current season and planting day; this page's baseline assumes a Day 1 start in a 28-day season.
Choose raw cash, a recipe reserve, or seed replacement as the goal. Do not combine them into one claimed profit number.
Count only the tiles you can water and harvest before buying seed.

Set one comparison basis

Start with one question: are you comparing raw crop sales, or are you planning ingredients and seeds? Raw sales use a narrow formula: revenue − seed spend. Revenue is harvest count multiplied by base yield and raw sale value; seed spend is the number of seed purchases multiplied by the visible seed cost. A row is not comparable until every one of those inputs is shown for the same patch and the same assumptions.

Do not quietly add quality, skills, spells, processing, gifts, labour, greenhouse effects, or inventory pressure to a single crop’s result. Those can be valuable choices, but they are different decisions and they make a table misleading when they are not available to every row. Put them in a note beside the raw calculation or make a separate comparison. A transparent smaller calculation is more useful than an impressive-looking number whose inputs cannot be checked.

The current Crops record lists seed source and price, growth and regrowth time, and raw crop sale value. The explorer covers every current crop with a purchasable General Store seed, including upgrade-gated stock. It leaves out forage-only crops and Temple Flower because they have no seed purchase cost to compare. Every row uses a base yield of one normal crop per harvest and excludes Bountiful seed drops, keeping bonuses outside the baseline.

Count harvests before comparing

The table uses one explicit convention: plant on Day 1 of a 28-day season and treat growth time as elapsed days. A four-day crop is harvested on Days 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 25 after immediate replanting; a six-day crop lands on Days 7, 13, 19, and 25. A nine-day crop lands on Days 10, 19, and 28, while a five-day crop with three-day regrowth lands on Days 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, and 27. These dates make every displayed raw result reproducible.

For a later planting, shift the first harvest by the same number of elapsed days and stop after Day 28. Single-harvest crops require a new seed for every completed cycle, while a regrowing crop pays the seed cost once and then follows its regrowth interval. Leave crops that would mature after the season ends out of this 28-day calculation. If a greenhouse removes the seasonal boundary, run a separate calculation rather than mixing it into this comparison.

Separate field size from per-tile value. Calculate one tile first, then multiply it by the number of tiles you actually plan to plant after allowing room for paths, reserves, and other goals. This avoids a common mistake where a larger field is treated as proof that a crop is better. It also makes it easy to change the decision when you only have time or seed money for a small patch.

Read the current table

Watermelon is a current slow-crop example in the Crops record: Summer seed costs 70t, base growth takes 9 days, and the raw crop sells for 180t. Planting on Day 1 and replanting immediately produces three normal harvests on Days 10, 19, and 28 under the displayed convention. One normal crop is counted per harvest, and every bonus is excluded. The result is a reproducible baseline rather than an unsupported universal ranking.

Input	Current sourced value
Revenue	3 harvests × 1 base yield × 180t = 540t
Seed spend	3 seeds × 70t = 210t
Raw result	540t − 210t = 330t per tile

The same table shows why timing matters more than one sale price. A four-day 25t seed sold at 40t fits six cycles for a 90t baseline; the six-day 40t seed sold at 75t or 80t fits four cycles; and the 300t regrower uses one seed for eight harvests. Those figures compare raw sales only and do not price watering effort, ingredients, gifts, requests, or processing. Read the result as one decision layer, then apply the next goal separately.

Make the next field decision

First filter to the season you are planting. Next remove any crop that cannot finish in the remaining days, then calculate only the rows with complete visible inputs. Compare per-tile raw results before scaling to the actual field size. This sequence makes the timing limitation visible before a large seed purchase is made.

After the raw comparison, make a second decision for materials. A crop needed for an already chosen recipe, request, or seed replacement can deserve a reserve even when it is not the strongest raw-sale row. Keep that reserve out of the money calculation and label it as a goal cost. This tells you whether the farm is being used for cash, preparation, or both.

Use the seasonal crops guide for reserves and the foraging and Seed Maker guide when seed replacement changes the plan. Recalculate when the planting day, field goal, or sourced crop values change. The strongest raw-sale row is not automatically the best ingredient or processing choice. Keeping those decisions separate makes the result easy to reproduce and easy to update.

Completion check

Your field decision is complete when every planted crop can mature within the remaining days, the number of purchased seeds matches the chosen tiles, and any recipe or seed reserve is labelled outside the raw-sale calculation. Re-run the table if any one of those inputs changes.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Check	Next action
The result looks profitable but cannot mature	The calculation used a Day 1 harvest count for a later planting day.	Shift the first harvest date and remove cycles after Day 28.
The field has too many different goals	Cash, recipes and seed replacement were put in one total.	Reserve recipe/seed tiles first, then calculate only the remaining cash tiles.
The seed purchase is larger than the route can support	Field size ignored time, paths or watering capacity.	Reduce to the count of tiles you can actually maintain.
