Why Farm?

Yesterday we talked about how to farm, and discussed a little bit about why you should farm, so let's break it down even more. 

Starting off with our Cactus farm, we have a lot of Windwool cloth!


Let's convert it into product we can sell. We can create 1 Imperial Silk, which is 1/12 of the mats needed for a Royal Satchel. Royal Satchel's sell for around 4100 gold so that equates to about 341g from the Imperial silk. Next we can create 1 Celestial Cloth, which is 1/28 of a pair of Leggings of the Night Sky. Those legs sell for around 14,000g which would make the Celestial Cloth equal to about 500g each. We still have 10x Bolts of Windwool Cloth left over and their going rate is 10g per bolt and 1 solitary Windwool cloth with a value of around 2 gold. So putting that into my brain-o-matic machine that makes our Windshear Cactus Farm worth roughly 943 gold a day.


Next stop is our Enigma Farm!


Looks like a rough crop patch today. I love the days when I log on and see Golden Lotus everywhere! 
Anyways let's see what our haul got us today. Since my Enigma Seed Farmer is also my Alchemist I always do my Living Steel cooldown first. We'll get back to how we got the mats for the steel in a second. What we ended up with was 4 Golden Lotus which we turned into 4 Potions of Luck. Each one auctions for about 60g a piece (55-90g depending on the day). We still have a smattering of left over herbs including 15 Silkweed, 11 Snow Lily, 2 Rain Poppy, 4 Fool's Cap, and 11 Green Tea Leaf . Now for these you could make them into potions, but I mail them off to my Inscriptionist to keep up my stock of inks.


Our last farm visit is our Snakeroot Farm.


This one can vary sometimes so you might have to do a little mining of your own. Today we netted 20x Ghost Iron Ore which turned into 10 Ghost Iron Bars that means we can make 1x Jard's Peculiar Energy Source. This is 1/60 of the mats required to make a Sky Golem so that puts its value at around 500g.
We also ended up with enough trillium ore to make 4 trillium bars that we can mail back to our Alchemist to use to make the Living Steel. I know it takes a few more, but there are going to be days when you mine for mats and days when you don't have time, so I usually find that I have enough left over mats for whatever little bit I might require for either the Jard's or the Living Steel cooldowns daily.

Back to the Inscriptionist let's turn those herbs into something useful! All the herbs combined turned into enough Pigments to equal around 11 Ink of Dreams and 2.5 Starlight inks. This means we could make around 3 glyphs for about 50gold average each (4g to 900g) and just a little shy of 1 shoulder enchant which normally sell for 150+ gold so investing enough extra in mats to make one would still give us about a 100g profit.


Let's add this all up! I'm gonna low ball this too to get a low average profit just in-case sales are off for the day. 

Cactus Farm (with tailor) - 940 gold
Enigma Farm (with alchemist / inscription) - 460 gold
Snakeroot Farm (with engineer / alchemist) - 939 gold

Overall, if we do this everyday (because it's not going to bring this amount in everyday, but rather an average if you keep up the cooldowns) we can net around 2300g just from doing the farm and our profession dailies. As far as overall time invested to do this, it's around 8 to 10 minutes per character. So in roughly 30 minutes a day of farming you end up with a pretty decent return.

Love you little gold goblins and gnomes!
Until tomorrow,
