Housing update - Flower prices PSA

So first of all, you don't need to run back and forth between your flowerbeds and Posy to buy seed packs - if you're out of seeds, you can just click on the flowerbed and the menu to buy seeds will come up automatically (provided you have the currency). This is nice.

One seed pack of Fragrant Cups costs 100 astralites. The colors you get are chosen randomly between Yellow, Magenta, and Crimson, going from most to least common.

Selling prices of flowers (Talk to Posy -> Yardling Purchase):

• Yellow Fragrant Cup - 30 per flower; currently selling for 36 at 1.2 increase
• Magenta Fragrant Cup - 40 per flower; currently selling for 48 at 1.2 increase
• Crimson Fragrant Cup - 60 per flower

From what I've seen, one pack yields either 5 Yellow Cups, 4 Magenta Cups, or 3 Crimson Cups.

Selling prices per flower pack:

• Yellow Fragrant Cup - 150 per seed pack; currently 180 at 1.2 increase
• Magenta Fragrant Cup - 160 per seed pack; currently 192 at 1.2 increase
• Crimson Fragrant Cup - 180 per seed pack

Profits per seed pack should be evident.

Q: Isn't selling furniture more profitable?

A: Not enough data to give a conclusive answer right now, since crafting takes time & it's impossible to check the selling price unless you've crafted the item and have it in your inventory while talking to Posy.

Someone really needs to check the following numbers, because I'm really not sure I'm mathing correctly.

But let's take Classic Tea Set (a table, blueprint can be bought from Posy for 1500 astralites). Currently it sells for 1884 astralites at 1.2 increase, so it's base price is supposed to be 1570.
It costs 35 Yellow Fragrant Cup and 12 Magenta Fragrant Cup to craft. Both of these flowers are also selling at 1.2 increase, so if you sold the crafting mats directly to Posy you'd get 1836 astralites, or 1530 if they were selling for their original price.

1884-1836=48 astralites. 1570-1530=40 astralites. These are the profits you'd get if you sell one table vs selling the mats directly.

It takes 30 minutes to craft one table, so assuming the base queue of 4 items, that's 192 or 160 astralites per half an hour.

If you've played the available Housing quest, you should have 6 flowerbeds. After watering, Fragrant Cups take 10 minutes to grow, so it's about 3 harvests in the time it takes for one table to craft.

Pure profit per half an hour, assuming you've seeded 6 flowerbeds:

• Yellow Fragrant Cup - 50*6*3=900 base price, 80*6*3=1440 at current 1.2 increase
• Magenta Fragrant Cup - 60*6*3=1080 base price, 92*6*3=1656 at current 1.2 increase
• Crimson Fragrant Cup - 80*6*3=1440 at base price

And sure, because Magenta and Crimson cups aren't common, you're likely to be selling just Yellow; but even then it's 900 astralites at base price for selling the flowers, versus selling the tables? If my math is correct???

We really need to make a community effort to like, figure out how profitable selling the crafted furniture is.
