Pig Farming... Sorta

Here's a way to make a little cash and help the community too. Feed the piggies and sell the seeds. Most seed prices on auction are more than the cost at the vendor. But... It's possible to buy an item and turn it into seeds at a profit. For instance, potatoes are currently selling for 5.6₡per each (80 for 450₡). That's 26 seeds for 450 after you run them through the piggy. Potato seeds sell for 40₡ at vendors = 1040₡ - 450 =   590₡ - 10% = 530 profit. Let me say that again, 118% profit. Needs no house, plot, or piggy, and doesn't cost energy. Free money! AND farmers don't have to walk to the vendor.

  • Sort of free money, if you don't put a value on the time it takes to feed all of those piggies. I could see that cycle taking a long time. Also you could help the community even more by selling the seeds on the auction for slightly less than vendor price!

  • I just ran 80 carrots through a piggy and it took me less than 5 minutes including examining the plop and picking up the seeds. Ate the 2 left over carrots for an energy boost... And yes, sell for marginally less.

  • @Pancito: I hope you washed your hands before eating the carrots. :)
