So as of now, I'm working towards resident by farming on a wheat farm that I bought perms for, costing me 5k. I eventually plan to harvest pumpkins with a pumkin axe becuase I hear these are more profitable, and replating wheat just drives me crazy. I hear that farming in general, especially melon/pumkin can be made much more profitable with fly. Would a speed pot have the same effect as fly? Would it be economical to use when farming, if you can't afford to purchase fly with ecodollars at this time? The ingredients, netherwart and sugar are cheap. I've only been on this serve for 3 daysr so I don't know how difficult it is to purchase a brewing stand.
Speed potions definatly do help, and brewing stands are very easy to get, I can give you one for free if you'd like.
