    Honestly, I don't farm anymore because NOTHING is worth farming...

    pumpkins: not really worth it anymore...
    melons: need a sword which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars or 1000 NStars....
    Wheat: decent, but still doesn't make you feel rich :p
    Carrots: Same as wheat -Good with fortune 3
    Potatos: Same as wheat -Good with fortune 3

    I agree slightly with you Thecreator767 but some players do have decent computers that can manage but some peoples suck i agree, the point I am getting at is the fact that Andrew seems to only take into account the people with all of the money and not those who struggle to find any

    I am one of the few who have farmed more than 5 million pumpkins, so I can say that I have quite a bit of experience.
    As much as I would like to see pumpkins increase, I don't really think that would be fair, because if it was raised, I would be making around 30k per hour which honestly is way too much. I can prob kill the earning discussion with saying that I with 10 fps still manage to pull 20-24k per hour, so the earnings are quite good. As Andrew said the more experienced/better equipped players will always make more, and you might think that me making 24k an hour is unfair, but guess what? I have been making 5-10k an hour until I could buy fly and ext+ it's all about hard work. If you want to be successful both on ecc and irl, it takes a lot of hard work, and maybe for a few; extreme luck. So instead of discussing this just build a superfarm like mine, and when that is done you can make a consistent 10k an hour until you can buy fly, and then it's more like 15k an hour, so it's not very hard to Make pumpkins worth farming.

    Here is a simple solution.
    I will only be telling this once, and once only.
    Get a town.
    Flatten it.
    Make small farms with loads of floors.
    200x20x(Sky to Bedrock) Cane, potato, carrot farms. Then another 200x20(Sky to Bedrock) Pumpkin.
    Then another town, with a 200x200x9 wheat farm.
    This is what i did.
    Yet I'm still poor cause I'm stupid with my money.
    Bye.

    Let's get back on topic. kukelekuuk00, was the pumpkin earnings different based on them only stacking in 64? That was the question of this post.

    I think pumpkin prices should be dropped to 10c so you will all wake up and realise that you should just sell me bones for $2.50 each and make tons of money.... Silly sausages :)

    kukelekuuk00, so you did make less!
    What should they be raised to fix the profit?

    I've tried CJB fly, but I don't like the controls.. I would rather just fly normally like in creative.

    The fact is that the pumpkin stacking issue only affects those who fly (for what I can see). They make lots more then us pumpkin farmers who don't have fly. The fact that there earnings get reduced, I believe, is good for me and the economy (but perhaps not for them). I farm with speed potions and make around 15k/hour on a good day. I also must stop for e-repairs which is a hassle.

    Ok, for 20k an hour according to kuke's testing, pumpkins should be raised to $0.75.
    35 slots (other 1 has the axe) times 64 per stack=2240 pumpkins.
    It took kuke 5 minutes to get this many, so 2240/5=448 pumpkins a minute.
    Multiply 448 pumpkins by 60 (60 minutes in an hour)=26880.
    So the equation for the price is 26880(x)=20000, where 20k is the optimum price, and x is the price for a pumpkin.
    Then x = 20000/26880, which is ~0.744.
    Round to the nearest 5 cents:$0.75.
    Ta-da!
    That's my reasoning.

    This would be great as pumpkin prices are, in my opinion, quite low. +1

    I think they should stay, raising pumps even more would just be making all other money making methods obsolete! -1 And I am probably saying this because I farm melons :p
