Crops

Eight crops, each with its own grow time, sell price and unlock level. Slower crops are more valuable per fruit but ask for serious commitment. Click a column header to sort.

Crop	Seed cost	Sell price	Grow time	Drops	Unlocks at
Wheat	Free	5✦	30s	1	L1
Carrot	20✦	40✦	5m	1	L5
Corn	100✦	200✦	30m	1	L60
Strawberry	500✦	500✦ ×2	1h	2	L160
Melon	1,000✦	2,000✦	2h	1	L310

Blueberry	15,000✦	10,000✦ ×5	8h	5	L760

Drop multipliers — strawberry, tomato and blueberry yield multiple fruits per harvest. The sell price column shows the per-fruit price; multiply by the drop count for the full harvest payout.

Want to know which crop earns most per hour? The Crop Calculator works out Sigils/hour and XP/hour for every crop at any rarity.

Wheat XP tapers. Wheat pays 5 XP per fruit early, but that's reduced at high player level — down to 2 XP at L120 and 1 XP at L410 — to stop infinite wheat from trivialising levelling. Late-game wheat XP/hour is lower than a flat estimate suggests. (Every other crop's XP per fruit is constant.)

Rare Crops

Every harvested fruit rolls a rarity tier. Higher tiers sell for more, give more XP, and unlock the ability to craft Uncommon/Rare/Mythic/Dreamlike versions of any recipe. Rarity gates by per-crop mastery: a crop won't drop Uncommon variants until you've reached Mastery 25 on it.

Tier	Sell ×	XP ×	Mastery gate	Notes
Common	1×	1×	always	The baseline drop
Uncommon	2×	1.5×	L25	First "feels different" tier
Rare	5×	2×	L75	Drives Rare Order contracts
Mythic	15×	3×	L200	Mythic Order contracts unlock
Dreamlike	50×	5×	L500	Endgame flex — Dreamlike Orders

Drop rates — base drop chances start vanishingly small (Uncommon 0.5% at L25, Rare 0.1% at L75) and ramp up over the next 75 mastery levels, reaching 5% / 1% respectively. Mythic (0.1% at L200) and Dreamlike (0.01% at L500) are flat from unlock. The four Affinity upgrades bump each tier's per-tile probability per level, and the Prospector keystone adds a flat per-tier bump on top (Uncommon +0.02, Rare +0.005, Mythic +0.001, Dreamlike +0.0002). Open the Rare Drop Rates explorer to see how investment shapes the final cascade.

Recipe rarity propagates: bake bread with Rare Wheat and the bread itself is Rare. To craft any non-Common recipe, every ingredient crop must be at the relevant mastery gate. Bread (60 wheat) needs Wheat at Mastery 25 to be cookable in Uncommon — Strawberry Tart needs both Wheat and Strawberry at the gate, since both are ingredients.
