Ancient Fruit.

well. the ancient fruit is a good moneymaker. But its best to grow starfruits and turn them into wine for big profit. 36000g for x10 starfruit wine.

Ancient Fruit Wine is a much better choice than Starfruit Wine: Less maintenance (because you don't have to replant), less input costs (because you don't have to replant), and the regrowth time on Ancient Fruit is six or seven days, so it'll keep pace with your kegs much better and result in less "downtime."

(While ten Ancient Fruit Wine, with Artisan, only sells for 33,750g instead of 36,000g of Starfruit, the turnaround time on AFW is faster, so you'll get money more quickly. Additionally, once planted, AFW has no ongoing costs. The 10 Starfruit Wine only has a net profit of 32,000g.)

the 225g more you get for starfruit wine compared to ancient fruit wine isn't worth the replanting time and hassle, heck starfruit seeds alone cost 400g making it a net loss, not to mention ancient fruit regrows in 8 days compared to 13 days for starfruit.

In a long term, ancient fruit ... but you will have to first invest some time putting the ancient fruits into the seedmaker in order to get a sufficient number of them

Looking at it mathematically, ancient fruit is better long term, more noticeable in Artisan. This is because:

2250(base regular starfruit wine value) x 7(amount of harvests in 13 weeks) = 15750

1650(base regular ancient fruit wine value) x 13(amount of harvests in 13 weeks) = 21450


That is why ancient fruit is better in the long term. This becomes more noticeable after the third or fourth harvest due to the difference each time.

I wish I'd known about this before going to Calico Desert and getting 216 starfruit seeds... :/

May as well use them. It's still a profit.

Just plant them in the next summer, outside.
