    So, Ive got a cocobean farm up and running and im making a little money, but im still fairly new to the game. I keep seeing people getting 15-25k an hour and im only making about 4-5k at best farming or mining. How do you end up making money like that? Just looking for tips or suggestions. Thanks!

    I believe farming in a 200x200 farm with multiple floors and a pumpkin axe/melon sword can soon add up. If you add up the starting cost approx 20-25k for a pumpkin axe and farm perms you can soon earn that in an hour or so, so you can soon make $$$$!

    First I just want to say that you are more average than you may think.

    It costs money to make money. People have maxed tools and access to large areas and still don't make 20k/hr.

    As long as you don't spend money on lotto, save your nstars, and continue to improve, you'll be fine. Depending on what crops you like farming there are different tools. For mining, you want an EFF V, UNB III, FOR III diamond pick. This is approx 15-20k or so. You can get people to repair it for about 100-200 each time by asking for an e-repair in the trade channel. Most "newer" people tend toward farming pumpkins with an EFF V, UNB III diamond axe.

    For cocoa, you don't need tools, you just need time/space. For netherwarts having fortune on the axe helps, or just use the pick mentioned above.

    Make sure to mix it up and don't get bored doing just one thing.

    And, always, have fun. :)

    Well, those figures of ~$15,000-$25,000 are from tools known as "Star Tools". The lower portion is from a "Melon Sword", which is an Efficiency 5, Silk Touch 1, diamond sword, which farms melons very, very effectively, which makes about ~$15,000 per hour. The upper half of those figures if from an "Eff 7", an Efficiency 7, Unbreaking 3, Silk Touch 1, diamond pickaxe. Since it is mining, the ~$25,000 per hour fluctuates. These tools cost $550,0000-$600,000. I would suggest you get mayor first. I hope this helps :).
