Best Shot Term Castleville Crop
I personally like Flax the best for the short term crop. The energy consumption is not heavy compared to grapes. In addition, flax is used for various crafting and cooking recipes.
Best Medium Term Castleville Crop
Potato is the best medium term crop that generates 50 coins per hour. The harvest time frame is 4 hours.
Best Long Term Castleville Crop
For the long term, you want to go for either Cocoa or Chili pepper. These crops generate 25 coins per hour and have long harvesting time frame. 16 hours for Cocoa and 18 hours for Chili pepper. However, Cocoa offers some good return of energy in terms of kitchen use. More recipe information will be added later.
Best Overall Castleville Crop
The best of the best however, is wheat because you can get the best return via the Castleville Kitchen cooking recipes. Also check the best Food Recipe analysis on why Wheat is the best.
Thanks for these tables I have been wanting something like this. Do you have somewhere how long the different crops take to wither? Is it a constant relationship to the time to mature?
Ok, this is probably the best table I have seen so far, would you be able to tell me which crop is the most profitable gold-wise, in relation to time and cost expenditure? I would like to know which one is the best and fastest gold producing crop, considering time and the initial cost expenditure.
So far as I can see it’s the tomato, but as I am lousy in Math I could be wrong.
