What Summer Spangle 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90g | 112g | 135g | 180g | 99g |
| 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 | 123g | 152g | 170g | 17 of 19 |
Planted on day 1 of Summer, Summer Spangle is harvested on day 9, 17, 25. Going from farming level 0 to 10 raises its profit by about 38%, mostly through better quality. It has to be replanted after every harvest, so the seed cost repeats: 150g 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 152g | 81g | 53g | 52g | 123g |
No fertilizer pays for itself on Summer Spangle here: each bag costs more than the extra harvests or better quality bring in. Skip it and plant more tiles. Speed-Gro vs Deluxe Fertilizer explains why this is common.
Sell it raw or process it?
Summer Spangle can't be made into an artisan good in a Keg or Preserves Jar, so the only decision is when to sell it.
