What Poppy sells for
Quality changes the price: silver is worth about a quarter more than regular, gold about a half more, and iridium double. Your farming level decides how often you get each.
| Regular | Silver | Gold | Iridium | Regular with Tiller |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 140g | 175g | 210g | 280g | 154g |
| Farming level | Regular | Silver | Gold | Iridium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 97.02% | 1.98% | 1% | 0% |
| 5 | 69.42% | 19.58% | 11% | 0% |
| 10 | 45.82% | 33.18% | 21% | 0% |
Iridium quality only becomes possible with Deluxe Fertilizer, which is why the chance is 0% here.
Profit per tile
This is profit for one tile planted on day 1 of the season and replanted after each harvest, sold raw, after paying for seeds. It counts every harvest that fits before the season ends.
| Planted in | Harvests | Level 0 | Level 6 | Level 10 | Rank at level 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Summer | 3 | 124g | 171g | 199g | 16 of 19 |
Planted on day 1 of Summer, Poppy is harvested on day 8, 15, 22. Going from farming level 0 to 10 raises its profit by about 60%, mostly through better quality. It has to be replanted after every harvest, so the seed cost repeats: 300g over the season. For a different day, farming level, profession or fertilizer, use the Crop Profit Calculator.
Does fertilizer help?
| Nothing | Basic Fertilizer | Quality Fertilizer | Speed-Gro | Deluxe Speed-Gro |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 171g | 116g | 101g | 128g | 205g |
For Poppy, Deluxe Speed-Gro is the only one that pays: it lifts profit from 171g to 205g a tile. The others cost more than they bring in. Speed fertilizer works by fitting an extra harvest into the season; see Speed-Gro vs Deluxe Fertilizer for when that happens.
Sell it raw or process it?
Poppy can't be made into an artisan good in a Keg or Preserves Jar, so the only decision is when to sell it.
