I remember making 5-6k an hour with this when sugarcane was still 0.10 each.
If this is still the case then you should easily be able to make 10k an hour (I think that with some changes to the growth it became less though)
so I am assuming you make around 6-8k an hour right now.(which is more than enough)

 

Mushrooms became laggy, and are no longer worth it.
Reeds drop 2 blocks at a time if you do it right, and it breaks instantly (pumpkins don't)
reeds can be farmed with 12 blocks a second if done right so a row of 50 long 2 wide would take 8.5 secoinds + the 3 seconds to switch rows/floors.
so 11.5 seconds for 100 reed
so an average of 8.7 reeds a second. which is $1.7 a second.
1.7 *3600 = $6260 an hour.

 

Just look at my calculations $0.20 makes $6260 an hour, if you increase that 3.75fold then you will make 23.4k an hour. Way too much for people without enchanted repair or fly, reeds can be raised to 0.30 ( $9390an hour)

 

.50 is still 15k an hour.
.30 is more than enough.

 

you get 9k an hour from pumpkin farming with no enchanted repairs/fly
So it's the same.
15k an hour is what you get WITH enchanted repairs.
Donator features are not looked at when one of the methods has no advantage with donator features.
in this case reed has no advantage with donator features so we look at the price without donator features for both.

If reeds were 0.30 each then both would make around 9k an hour without any donator features.

 

just saying but isn't sugarcane farming geared towards people who have the water feature, you aren't even able to make a 200 by 200 sugarcane farm unless you had the water feature or paid someone to get it. So by raising the price would mean more people would want to sugarcane farm just as much as pumpkin farm(well I don't think anyone really just wants to farm more for money) and wouldn't be able to do it without either purchasing the donation feature or by paying someone who has the donation feature. Therefore the server would have more money circulating to create a better economy and more money towards the server as people buy the water donation which andrew could be able to increase the price to possibly 20 if there is a higher demand, but seeing as that might sound greedy he probably won't.

 

i think sugarcane should be increased to 0.25 each just a little increase to help it compete with melons and pumpkin and i have also noticed with chages melons are now better than pumpkins if you have an eff 5 silk touch axe as you get the block which is worth 2 rather than pumpkin which are worth 1.50 so this goes agianst how i thought the server worked these out and ithink either pumpkins should be highed or better melons should be lowered to match pumpkins.
BTW kuke was the preson who siad that melons and pumpkins price and farming should max when in optimal conditions, optimal conditions melons would be better to farm.
