Try it out.

 

Keep testing and improving your technique little by little and you'll end up with a stable income, also, make sure the farm is fully grown when you test.

 

If you keep getting different outcomes, just take the average of all of the profits.
Ex: One hour you make 15k, the next you make 13k. Average it out to be 14k/hr.
Or, just do a lot of tests (10+). Hope this helps! Happy farming!

 

Or go sideways on /speed 7.5....

 

That's what I tell people to do :b

 

Well, the exact answers for several speeds and the math is located on my nation page. Hope it helps. Its a ways down on the page but it breaks it all down for melon and pumpkin including various speeds and their profits. The short story is that speed 4.5 is the best. (speed 9 can probably closely simulate this profit too, though i don't have tests)

Pumpkin Farming With the Donation Feature Fly 4.5 Speed
Tool: Pumpkin Axe
Value: $0.50
Rate of Farming: 758 pumpkins in 1m 30s or 8.42 pumpkins per second
Income Rate: (Rate of farming) * (Value) * 60s = 8.42 * .5 * 60 = $252.60/min = $15,156/hr

 

I made 17k an hour with pumpkins at 7.5 speed as seen in the farming discussion thread.

Pumpkins:
Estimated: $17,532.44/hour

 

What about melons?

 

17.3k with jetscat's tests, not mine, because I suck at melonfarming.

 

Lol melon farming is the easiest type of farming by far...

 

My data is up-to-date running on an optimized farm. Profit dropped when pumpkin nerfed to $0.50 and melon to $1.85. I have never been able to repeat purported 17k profits before... )=

Example as speed 7 shows downtick in profit not uptick...

Pumpkin Farming With the Donation Feature Fly 7 Speed
Notes: Double Row Single Pass
Tool: Pumpkin Axe
Value: $0.50
Rate of Farming: 605 pumpkins in 1m 48s or 5.60 pumpkins per second
Income Rate: (Rate of farming) * (Value) * 60s = 5.60 * .5 * 60 = $/168min = $10,800/hr

 

Thank you for testing out. I'm definitely saving for fly.
