Beginners Guide to Efficient Profit Methods

Active Profit Methods

If you prefer active profit methods, go for:

• Mass Projects – This is a very good profit method if done right and scales based on effort placed into the project and farming of the farmable components. Very tiring but pays off at the end of the mass project. You need not place all your DLs into it, just a portion of it is enough (and you can even afford drop boosters if you don’t have them already).

Few good and easy mass projects for starters : Blue Portal, Paint Bucket and Beehives. For higher tier products, might want to look into Chickens, Spirit Storage Unit and Pocket Lighter mass projects.

• Farming / Root Farming – This point should be self explanatory, and should also be considered even if your budget is pretty high. What you can do is upgrade the farmables you are handling *(to something much costlier, i.e High Tech Blocks) to boost profits. For root farming, you could sell the mature roots instead, for more profits (or use the Gems on a Gem-heavy event).
• Trade Profiting – Considered an active profit method. Would recommend trading high popularity and useful items (such as Ancestral Artifacts in BUYANCES). Follow the theory of buying low and selling high- don’t be afraid to humiliate yourself when you negotiate for a lower price. Always buy at buyer price (don’t buy it at their equilibrium price or their selling price, you’ll lose out this way).

Another tip: item prices usually rise in price by a slight bit during peak hours of the game

You should really familiarize yourself with trade profiting. It is a great skill and the profits gained from it is also pretty good. What you really have to do is just stand there and negotiate with others- you’d be surprised at how many players are desperate to buy or sell an item for their personal gains as time goes. Always buy at buyer price (don’t buy it at their equilibrium price or their selling price, you’ll lose out this way).

• Gemonade Fishing – Really good source for gems, though you need to be really focused. Can output really high value when paired with roles.

Passive Profit Methods

If you prefer passive profits, go for:

• Reselling of Ready Farms – This profit basically is lazy, as it just requires you to purchase unready farms, then wait for them to grow and sell them as ready. Best options to do this on would be on highly popular farmables (i.e Pepper Trees, Laser Grids, Chandeliers). Do be aware of scams when purchasing unready farms though, or make one directly yourself from scratch (get the seeds at cheap prices), that’s the best option.
• Investing in Items – Best option for this would be to place them into event-exclusive/restricted items, requires you to hold on to them for months before they see a distinguishable rise in price.
• Provider Farms – Would be best to pour them into science station farms. Do be advised that your profit only comes when you harvest the providers. It is estimated that each harvest of a full farm of science stations will grant you 15.
• Root Farming with Tesseract Manipulator – This should be considered since the next gem profitable event is upcoming soon (Summerfest), and saving gems up for it will definitely pay off. This is a great lazy profit method to gain gems from. Other than the heavy moderation required every few hours, it’s pretty good to gain gems from.

There are definitely others out there too that are not mentioned, these are just recommendations.
