Artisan Pipeline Optimization

Value-added processing is the cornerstone of mid-to-late game wealth generation in Fields of Mistria. Transforming raw crops and animal products into pickles, preserves, juices, wines, cheeses, and mayonnaise dramatically multiplies raw shipping values.

Our artisan engine compares processing time (hours), gross value multipliers, and net profit per unit hour across all available processing machines.

Pipeline Diagnostics

1

Profit Multiplier (x)

The ratio of processed item sell value relative to the raw crop base price.

2

Profit per Hour (t/hr)

Net profit generated per machine hour, identifying the most time-efficient processing candidate.

Processing 20x Summer Melons (180t Base) in Kegs vs Preserves

Inputs

Item:Summer Melon (180t Base)Batch Quantity:20 MelonsPerk:Master Artisan (+15%)

Calculation

1.Raw Sell Value: 20 × 180t = 3,600t
2.Preserves Value: ((180t × 2) + 20) × 1.15 = 437t each -> 8,740t total (+5,140t profit)
3.Keg Wine Value: ((180t × 2.25) + 35) × 1.15 = 506t each -> 10,120t total (+6,520t profit)
4.Wine Net Gain: +1,380t additional profit over Preserves
🎯Result
+6,520t Net Profit · 506t / Bottle
💡

Fermenting high-base Melons in Kegs yields an extra +1,380t net profit over Preserves Jars.

Preserves Jars vs Fermentation Kegs

Preserves Jars process goods in 12 hours using the formula (Base × 2) + 20, making them superior for rapid turnaround on lower-base crops like Turnips and Radishes. Kegs process in 24 hours with formula (Base × 2.25) + 35, yielding higher gross returns on premium crops like Melons and Pumpkins.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use Preserves Jars over Kegs?+
Preserves Jars are ideal when you have large crop quantities and limited machines due to their 12-hour turnaround time. For maximum profit per individual crop item, Kegs win on any crop with base price above 80t.
