    Alright, quick rundown of what this all means again. You can skip this if you want... or don't... I'm just text on a page:

    1. This guide is for items sold per stack at ‘/warp shop’ on Skyblock economy, including details from my perspective on how effective/ineffective a farm is overall.
    2. Any items listed in the sell price will be per stack (AKA - 64 items total).
    3. Average price to set up means the lowest cost to make said farm vs the highest (minimum) cost to make it effective
    4. Return rate means how effective it is at making you money back for the parts you bought to make the farm work
    5. Crop hopper compatible means ‘can a crop hopper be used’. Note: Crop hoppers can auto harvest whatever crops are listed on it within a given chunk
    6. Auto, Semi-Auto or manual means the farming method. Namely, can the farm be auto harvested, can it be semi-auto harvested, or, does it require some good ol' manual labor to make it work. All factors to consider when getting farms
    And now, for the Melon & Pumpkin farm selling price guide


    Melon & Pumpkin Farming:

    • Sell price: $56.96 for both Melons and Pumpkins

    • Average price to set up: $207,000 (if you already have a crop hopper, and for extra layers) to $258,000 (if you don’t have a crop hopper) per chunk

    • Return rate: Impressive to Spectacular

    • Details on farm: The Melon or pumpkin. On their own, they’re rather simple, unassuming blocks. But these blocks can make players the most money on economy quickly, and are ‘the meta’ for a lot of profit shops at the time of writing this.

    • Auto, Semi-auto, or Manual: Auto, Crop hopper harvesting, dropper system optional
    • Crop Hopper Compatible: Yes

    • Crop Hopper Level required: Lvl 3, which is the only one that will work at all

    • Positives: Can earn money pretty fast by selling melons and pumpkins at ‘/warp shop’; the most popular farm choice on economy for making money; very popular choice for profit shops, and pumpkin seeds are incredibly easy to get. Melons are a good food source when the blocks are broken, and turned into melon slices; can be afk'd easily by others if you wanted

    • Negatives: Not cheap to get started; Melon seeds are trickier to get for farming, requiring players to break a melon block into melon slices, then turning those slices into seeds in a crafting table; Pumpkin needs to be combined with an egg and sugar to make a pumpkin pie for food; needs light for the melons and pumpkins to grow faster

    • Tier level: Outstanding

    • Final thoughts: A player’s best choice when it comes to making money, the melon/pumpkin farm is a simply outstanding option to not only get started, but keep a steady flow of money coming in on the server for you. Coupled with the fact this farm can be 100% afk’d, it's no wonder this is a popular option for players in profit shops
