testingsomestuff123 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I think it's toadflax, I'm not 100% certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low C Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Snapdragons seem to be the best profit but you lose alot if they die. Toadflax are the cheapest seed for the best profit since if they die you only lose 1k per seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Ike111 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Toadflax. If your herb dies with ranarr/snaps you will lose 5 to 6 herbs plus the herbs you could of gotten, whereas with toadflax if it dies you only lose 1 herb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Askthedude Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Toadflax. If your herb dies with ranarr/snaps you will lose 5 to 6 herbs plus the herbs you could of gotten, whereas with toadflax if it dies you only lose 1 herb. I'm having trouble understanding your logic... :? With the price of toadflax seeds being so low, you only need to farm 1 herb per seed to cover the cost of it, so if one seed dies you only sacrifice one herb out of the remainder from the rest of the patches to cover the cost of it. If you lose a snap or ranarr seed you sacrifice 3-4 of your remaining herbs to cover the cost of it. Why can't the Big Bang be done by the hand of God?It could have, but it is next to impossible because it also could have been caused by the flying spaghetti monster, or one of the other infinite number of deity possibilities.

If your herb dies with ranarr/snaps you will lose 5 to 6 herbs plus the herbs you could of gotten, whereas with toadflax if it dies you only lose 1 herb. I'm having trouble understanding your logic... :? Snapdragon Seed = 62.9k. (Source) Grimy Snapdragon = 12k. (Source) Let's do the math. 62.9k divided by 12k is 5,2416. Which means, if one of your Snapdragon Seeds dies while in the process of growing, you just lost 5 herbs. With that said, you as well do not gain the 6 herbs you could of possibly received. However, with Toadflax if your seed dies in the process of growing, you only need to gain one more herb to have doubled the cost of the seed. (Source) Toadflax is a much more safe seed to work with, as you can easily lose 3 of your patches in one run. Unless you plan on visiting each patch every 20 minutes or so, which would be unreasonable, Toadflax is the best seed to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassy Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Have Snapdragons recovered from that merch a month back or so? I don't want to start Farming them again unless I'm sure the herbs are going to sell. Click Here for a Common Sense Dungeoneering Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampbellMC Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 You don't understand the fact that everything averages out in the long run though. You average 6.7 herbs/patch (or so people say, personally I get higher with snaps). Using that number I will calc the average profit per run with each herb: Snapdragon: [ CALC ]: 12.1k*6.7*5-62.9k*5 = 90,850 Ranarr: [ CALC ]: 8.5k*6.7*5-5*37.8k = 95,750 Toadflax: [ CALC ]: 2.7k*6.7*5-1.05k*5 = 85,200 By current numbers it goes Ranarr > Snapdragon > Toadflax. This is only because snapdragon seeds are over 3k higher than normal, if you plan ahead you will make easily 105k per run average on snaps, I actually average over 180k per run normally with snapdragons, and many other farmers I know have noticed higher yeilds on snapdragons.

ultimatballr Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Personally, I prefer to plant Toadflax. The profit is not bad and I can bear the loss of the cost of one of those seeds. I would only use Snaps/Ranarrs in the My Arms patch as it is a guaranteed yield. If you can stand seeing that a 50k+ seed just died then by all means more power to you, plant Snaps. If not then just go with Toadflax (or even Kwuarms are another decent money maker) Apparently, my signature was to big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I like to keep a large stock of seeds, 200+, I can't do this with Snaps because I do not have the money to do so. Maybe when I gain that monetary status I will gladly turn more of a profit, but for the time being I will stick with the cheaper of the 3. Apparently, my signature was to big.

But your plants arnt gaurnteed to not die... They are guaranteed not to ALL die, is the point. Including deaths, you average 6.7 herbs per patch. Its a statistic. You may have dead herbs one run, you may not have any die for 5+. With your logic you shouldn't do GWD, as you could have a dry trip and lose money. Personally, I am growing toads+snaps/rannar from slayer, just because I am waiting for seed prices to adjust a little more.
