Spellfield, a new indie farming game, was released earlier this month, and like with all farming games, it takes a while to determine which crops will be the best for your farm and your bank. Thankfully, unlike games likeHarvest MoonorStardew Valley, the crops are more limited and without any mutations. What you see is pretty much what you get. This may make the game more appealing to fans of farming sim games that find the other options overwhelming.
While the functionality of the crops is taken into account, this list prioritizes the sale of the crops themselves, rather than what they can be baked or cooked into.
12Strawberries
Strawberries, unfortunately, are the weakest money-making crop, as you canpurchase them for 30 coins and sell them for 60.You can only makefruit platters (50 coins) and strawberry muffins (50 coins)with them, so they are best used as a health and stamina crop.
11Potatoes, Cucumbers, And Carrots
You canbuy and sell potatoes and cucumbers for50 and 60 coins, respectively.Carrots can bebought for 10 coins and sold for 20.While this isn’t much of a profit, it isn’t necessary to actually purchase the seeds from Benny at the market.
Free seeds can be found in the dungeon chests, so although you won’t be able to control how many seedlings you get, anything you sell will be pure profit.
Potatoes can only be used to makeveggie stew (150 coins),and cucumbers can only be used in makingtuna and salmon sushi (200 coins).Carrots can be used inbasic salads (50 coins) and carrot cake (100 coins).
10Tomatoes
Tomatoes are probably the cheapest crop in the game,available for purchase at 8 coins.It’s a strictly spring product, so make sure to stock up at the beginning of the game, as you can sell each tomato for 30 coins each.
It’s pretty useful in cooking as well, as you’ll need it to make abasic salad (50 coins)early in the game, as carrots and tomatoes are the crops you start off with. Once you get garlic, you can also use it to makespaghetti (100 coins).
9Watermelon
Watermelon is a mid-range crop, with theseeds being sold for 30 coins.Most produce can besold for double the cost of its seeds, and this is definitely true for watermelon.
However, if you have juicers on your farm, you’ll be able to makewatermelon juice, which sells for 80 coins. You’ll be able to make a profit while keeping some juice for yourself to replenish your health and stamina in the dungeons.
8Grapes
While grape seeds can bepurchased for 50 coins, it can only be sold for 60.You’re probably better offmaking winewith the kegs you’re able to place on your farm. Eachbottle can be sold for 110 coins, making it one of the more expensive drinks in the game.
7Tea Leaves
Like grapes, tea leaves can’t be sold for much of a profit. You’repurchasing the seeds at 50 coins, and selling the finished product at 60.However, if you craft enough teapots, you can make plenty ofgreen tea to sell for 110 coins.
6Sugar Cane
Sugar cane seeds can bebought for 50 coins,but sugar cane stalks canonly be sold for 54. It would be worth investing in quite a lot of millstones for your farm, as sugar cane and the othermost profitable crops require processing.
Processed sugar cane creates sugar which can be used in baking and can also besold for 120 coins.
5Rice And Corn
The two crops tie for third place, as they can be bought and sold for the same price. Their seedscost 50 coins, and the crops can besold for 100 each.While that’s a tidy profit, you may get more money and more utility by processing the crops.
Both need a millstone to make their secondary products –rice grains and corn flour.These can be used in cooking and baking, orsold for 120 coins. Cornbread muffins are made using only corn flour, and can be sold for 50 coins.
4Pumpkins
Although pumpkin seeds are a fairlyexpensive crop at 70 coins, it’s certainly worth stocking up on, especially for the following winter where you won’t be able to plant anything outside the greenhouse. Each pumpkin can besold for 140 coins,making it the highest priced crop.
You can alsouse the juicer to make pumpkin juice, which you can either use to fuel yourself in the dungeons, orsell for 110 coins.You can also combine them with wheat flour and sugar to makepumpkin pie (120 coins).
3Wheat
Wheat is easily the best crop to plant in Spellfield, simply because it ischeap at 20 coins and has the widest range of uses.Like all crops, you can sell it at 40 coins for double its cost.
It’s worth worth farming two separate plots of wheat – one for consumption and one for profit.
If you have a millstone and a keg, you may also make wheat flour and beer. You can bake with the flour, orsell it for 60 coins.Croissants are made with only wheat flour, and are sold for 50 coins. The beer sells for 80 coins.
