    How much exp & ecd does netherwart farming/wheat farming give per hour. Assuming

    Max netherite pick
    200x200 farm, 1 floor
    No feats

    For the sake of ease, we'll assume there's no lag between filling up inventory and selling. And the enchanted hoe doesn't need to be fixed.

    I understand that fortune has a range and you can get 1-7 per crop with fortune 3. So what would be the range of returns?

    This experiment is mainly for new players who don't have access to feats or star/magic tools

    I don't know exact details for money making, but I do want to point out a few details that may help:
    - Fortune only affects seeds with wheat farming, meaning you'll still get one wheat per fortune
    - Fortune does affect netherwart
    - As far as I'm aware, farming doesnt give any standard xp, and to answer if you meant farming MCMMO xp, the farming skill tree is basically worthmess if I'm being honest

    I actually did not know that farming didn't give EXP, thanks for that piece of info.

    Irc it is 2-7 and not 1-7.
    Also the average is 4.5.
    So for a 200x200 area the average profit should be:
    200 * 200 = 40 000
    40 000 * 4.5 = 180 000
    180 000 * 0.23 = 41 400 ECD

    source:
    https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Fortune

    A 200x200 wheat farm without selling seeds is:
    22x8 = 176 rows and around 193 long.
    176 * 193 = 33 968 blocks
    33 968 * 1 = 33 968 wheat since fortune does not affect wheat.
    33 968 * 1.40 = 47 555.2 ECD

    Notes:
    • Sell hand prices
    • Calculations real profits can be different
    • All crops fully grown

    Thank you for the detailed response, looks like wheat farming is still king.
