CLOSE - (my) stack of Rubeweed for (your) stack of guano.

I currently have NO stacks of Rubeweed available for guano trading.

Please post or IM me in-game.

I have Teleportation V, so I can summon you.

Please only trade if you are going to consume the Rubeweed personally.  No resellers, please.  Also, if you have a boghouse or access to one - you don't really need my rubeweed.

Initial Post

I am considering starting a herbs for guano business.  Doing a survey first.  For now, just rubeweed since that's the herb currently with the most demand because of Rube and his dolls.

How much guano would you trade for five rubeweed (1 stack)?

  • I might be interested. What number are you thinking?

  • Testing guano farming right now.  Doesn't take long to get a stack of 40 if you feed the batterfly 10 meat at a time.  Cost would be about 1000c per stack and about 5 minutes.

    Right now, I'm thinking a stack of guano for a stack of rubeweed, to keep it simple.  Will keep on testing.

  • I can farm a stack in about 5 minutes using 5 meat for 2 guano, so about 750c in food (or two streets worth of harvesting with AK7) I found a really good spot where the batterflies are always very close, so you can just hit enter to interact & hit feed. The only slow part is making sure you hit 5 instead of 55.

  • I'd also take you up on that offer!  Please let us know if you do that!  I'll start preparing some rubeweed!

    Edit:  Wait, to be clear, you are getting the guano and trading for our rubeweed right?  I'm in a hurry and stuff so not comprehending very well!  :P

  • Serra, I think he has the Rubeweed.

  • Okay, a bit of math: the minimum feed for a single guano from a Batterfly is 15c worth. Assuming you are able to do that, that's 600c for a stack of 40 guano. If you don't have the patience to do that, you can use 2 meat at a time for a single guano, or 5 meat for 2 guano (less cost efficient, more time efficient). That makes the cost of guano higher. So, assuming you trade 40 guano for 5 rubeweed, that's a cost of 600c and 5 minutes for the guano-maker. That means they're paying 120c and 1 minute for a single rubeweed. According to auction, that's cheap rubeweed.

  • I have rubeweed, (might) trade for guano.

    Yah, basically cheap rubeweed.  If I have many takers, I may be prioritizing the folks who are going to use the rubeweed personally over the resellers (for obvious reasons).

    I'll put together a big stock of rubeweed before beginning trading.

  • The average yield of a rubeweed harvest is 12 rubeweed.  Half of which must be shucked for seeds.  Thank goodness that rubeweed has a way less chance or no chance of getting 0 seeds.

    This means, effectively, a rubeweed harvest (hastened by 24 guano) only has 6 Rubeweed (net) per harvest.  I will not count super harvests because those are quite rare.

    So, my current plan is to trade 3 Rubeweed for 24 guano.  This means, we split the (net) harvest in half.

    To make things less confusing math-wise, I may-will be trading in batches of 15 Rubeweed (3 stacks) for 120 Guano (3 stacks).

    Note - if you buy your guano - you won't be making any profit per se.  However, if you farm your own guano - this set-up is more than fair.  Even if I don't/can't make my end of the bargain, you can auction off your guano and make enough profit to buy the equivalent amount of rubeweed (as stated above), as currently - the prices of guano and rubeweed are closely linked together.

    I may be taking tentative orders soon.  However, please only make an order if you intend to use this rubeweed personally and not resell it.  Also, if you have your own boghouse or have access to a boghouse (friend, family, etc.), you probably don't need my rubeweed. 

    If I do this, I am doing it primarily because I want to help people who have to rely on the community gardens for their herbs.
