So, you’ve decided to get rid of all of that stuff you’re stowing away in your chests? Here you’ll find how to maximize your profit.
The best crop throughout most seasons
The most profitable crop is Ancient Fruit. Technically Starfruit gives more money, however it takes 13 days to grow with a single harvest, while Ancient Fruit takes only 7 days to grow and has multiple harvests without a need to re-plant it, which gives us time and energy throughout the day to perform other profitable tasks, making it more worth than Starfruits that grow only during Summer, while Ancient Fruit grows in all the other seasons exluding Winter.
