| The Preserves Jar increases the profit of a crop using the following equation: (2 × Base [[Crops|Crop]] Value + 50); while the [[Keg]] multiplies the base value of [[Fruits]] by 3, and [[Vegetables]] by 2.25. Because of this, low-value, high-yield crops like [[Corn]] or [[tomato|Tomatoes]] are more valuable in the preserves jar. The keg, on the other hand, favors crops with a much higher base value, such as [[Ancient Fruit]] or [[Melon]]s. Below is a list of crops that are more beneficial to be put in the preserves jar. | | The Preserves Jar increases the profit of a crop using the following equation: (2 × Base [[Crops|Crop]] Value + 50); while the [[Keg]] multiplies the base value of [[Fruits]] by 3, and [[Vegetables]] by 2.25.

− | It should be noted that these calculations ONLY involve the value gained in terms of max profit; if looking at profit per day based on the time required (2 days for the preserves jar, 7 days for the keg, plus aging time if desired), it is ALWAYS more beneficial to use a preserves jar, on the highest value item possible. Even starred crops do not approach the same amount of profit per day in a keg as in the preserves jar.

| + | It should be noted that this table is based on maximum profit without regard to time -- if looking at gold per day based on the time required (2 days for the preserves jar, 7 days for the keg), it is ''always'' more profitable to use a preserves jar, on the highest value item possible. Even quality crops do not approach the same amount of gold per day in a keg as in a preserves jar. |
