    I am just wondering what you guys think is better. I got a pumpkin axe and within a few minutes I got a full inventory of pumpkins and got 1k. My friend said he likes melon farming and I want to know what you guys like the best.

    Well farming pumps are a LOT less expensive than farming melons. But, melons can give a higher payout. So, I'm farming pumps right now but will switch to a melon sword when I get the chance in the near future :D

    Do you know what the payout for melons would be on average.

    Well, from the top of my head, a melon is worth $1.75, or almost 3 pumps. So, a full inventory of melons could give you... somewhere around 3.8-9k, if I'm not mistaken. That's just an estimate though, and only if you had around 2 slots not filled with melons (ex. m. sword and food).

    3.8-9k.. that is a wide range. So let's narrow this down

    1.75*64 = $112 per stack. And 3 rows of 9 slots plus a row of 7 slots = 34 slots for the stacks (1 for food, one for the sword).

    34*112 = $3808 for a full inventory.

    Looks like 3.8k was right on. maybe you meant to type 3,809 instead of 3.8-9. :)

    No, I didn't mean to mistake my typing. If you narrowed your inventory to the bare minimum of slots not used for melons, of 2 or 1, then you Would get 3.8-3.9k. But, yes, usually you would have the m. sword and food, so, you'd get the average payout of 3.8k.

    I misread what you put. I thought you put (in long form for clarity) 3.8k - 9.0k. Lol, I see you now mean 3.8k-3.9k . Ok. My mistake :oops:

    yeah but only a select few have the melon sword.. You need to base it all on time with EFF V SilkT I axe then pumpkins prob come out ahead.

    Even with a melon sword, I don't feel rich xD

    I really don't like farming because it's so slow and demoralizing :p
