Fields of Mistria Crops Guide

How Crop Profit Works

Crop profit in Fields of Mistria is simple to calculate: seed cost subtracted from sale price, divided by growing days. The single-harvest champions are cabbage, watermelon, pumpkin, and daikon radish, each giving +110 Tesserae profit (70t seed → 180t sale, 9 days). Next come carrot and sugar cane at +40t, then broccoli, chili pepper, cauliflower, and potato at +35t.

Regrowable crops cost 300t for seeds, take 5 days to first harvest, and regrow every 3 days. That means their first harvest always loses money, the profit only appears from the third harvest onward. Plant them on day one of the season to get the full season of regrowth.

Best Crops by Season

Complete Crop Profit Table

Every crop in the game, seed cost, grow time, regrow time, sell price, and profit per harvest. Regrowable crops lose money on the first harvest (marked −) but profit on every regrowth afterward.

Where seeds come from: most crops are sold at the General Store (some only after its upgrade) or at Balor's Wagon. Forage-only crops (herbs and wildflowers) come from the Prepared Picker skill, from watering mature plants with the Bountiful skill, or from the Seed Maker. A few crops also drop from treasure boxes, Strawberry, Watermelon, Corn, Tomato, Broccoli, Pumpkin, and Snow Peas.

Season Star Crops

These are the crops that pay the best per season, from the 110t single-harvest champions to the regrowable workhorses. Plant them on day one for maximum value.

Regrowable Crop Economics

Crops that sell for 135t (peas, tea, onion) reach profit at the third harvest, about day 11, then earn +105t every 3 days. Crops selling for 125t (strawberry, corn, tomato, cranberry, snow peas) turn profitable at the third harvest with +75t per regrowth. Rice stalk and wheat sell for 150t after 9 days and break even on the second harvest.

Because first harvests always lose money, regrowables are only worth it if planted at the very start of a season. If you plant late, a single-harvest crop like cabbage is usually the smarter choice.

Processing Beats Selling Raw

One of the best money strategies is to process crops before selling. Grilled corn sells for 135t, green tea for 145t, and cranberry juice and scones are worth even more. Sugarcane can be milled into sugar for 100t. In general, cooked or processed goods beat raw crops by a meaningful margin, so unlock your kitchen and mill early. Shipping a crop often mails you its recipe, and the cooking guide maps every recipe source plus the dishes that sell highest.

Zero-Cost Forage Crops

Several crops have no seed cost because they come from foraging: chickpeas, lilac, snowdrop anemone, basil, oregano, sage, thyme, garlic, heather, moon fruit, rosemary, viola, burdock root, jasmine, snapdragon, and the temple flower. Every harvest of these starts without a seed purchase. The money guide explains when to sell, cook, or keep them.

Magic Seeds (Earthly Essence)

Magic Seeds are mystery seeds: plant one and you will not know the result until harvest. They sell for 15t, work in all seasons, and the wiki growth table reaches harvest around day 5.

How you get them: with the Earthly Essence skill, harvesting crops has a low chance to drop a Magic Seed (added in v0.14.0). Growth magic can finish a plant early so you can harvest once.

Rewards depend on the current season. Check the wiki Possible Harvests table for the season you are in rather than memorizing one loot list.
