− | The [[Preserves Jar]] increases the profit of a crop using the following equation: {[price|50}} + (2 * base value of [[crop]]), 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 [[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, it is always more beneficial to use a preserves jar, on the highest value item possible (2 days to multiply value by 2x).
