    Item/Rank/Feature: Sugar Cane

    Data Value: 338 in /dura (didn't know what to put here)

    Current Price: $0.15

    Suggested Price: $0.20

    Brief Description: By breaking the the block with hand, or other items (same breaking speed with everything)

    Open Discussion: Sugar Cane needs a slight buff because currently with this crop it makes almost nothing per hour and is not farmed by many (only those who use it for villager trades and very few farmers). Even though this crop takes little effort to farm and requires no tools, it is still inexpensive and isn't worth the time to farm; that is why I'm suggesting a price increase. The 3 good ways of making money now are mining, fishing and survival games. Back in the old days when more people played the server and the economy was more balanced people used to do a variety of things instead of the main 3 nowadays. In result of this increase in price there will be more farmers of sugar cane and since it is just a slight increase the money earned from this will not affect the economy much, possibly not at all. So that is my suggestion.. to change sugar cane from $0.15 to $0.20. Thank you for your time!

    because 18k an hour is absolutely nothing. Yup.

    Learn how to farm it and it farms better than anything.

    EDIT: You need /speed 10 while flying for that profit.

    are you kidding me? nobody fishes. pump farming and max pic mining can make exactly the same as a STAR ROD and even more. And eff7 mining and melon farming make double.

    I'm guessing you didn't even read the suggestion. Also, melon farming makes 14k/hr, not even close to double of a star rod.

    Melon farming does not make double pumpkin farming. Eff7 mining might if you are lucky.

    Have you ever farmed melons or mined with an eff7?
    And fishing is a super passive way of making money, it allows you to both make money and chat at the same time. Perfect for staff and chatty users. (or people who just like multitasking)
    So a lot of people fish. pumpkin farming makes shit. max pic mining makes a lot because of exp.
    The star rod isn't supposed to be superior, it's supposed to be a better source of income fishing wise.

    People do farm though, a lot actually. People farm, fish, mine and SG. These top 4 things are what people do. Not the 3 things that a18 makes it out to be. Farming is, and always will be, a valid way to make good money.

    I agree with kuke, 18k/hr is perfectly fine. If you increased it, it would dis balance everything else.

    Also,
    Do you want me to delete this post?

    @kukelekuuk00 I can only make about 10k/hour with reed on speed 10. Do you do two rows of reed at the same time?

    Try flying, with some balancing you can get a good speed that allows for optimal reed breakage.
