Processing Machine Efficiency

Most ingredients are initially more profitable when sold raw and only become profitable when using higher-level machines. Many ingredients are even devalued by processing, while others sell for the same price raw or processed, and others receive very small increases in value.

Because so few processing options generate substantial profit, players without profitability charts to consult would do well to err on the side of selling all ingredients raw until they've crafted Level 3 machines.

## Fermenting Barrels

**Fermenting Barrels** are used to process a wide range of fruits and vegetables into juices. Very few ingredients gain value when processed into juice using the basic Fermenting Barrel, so players will arguably be better served making juices for use in combat than for profit.

The basic **Fermenting Barrel** is among the first machines that players learn how to craft, obtaining the recipe by completing 3 tasks in Juno's Faerie Order book.

**Fermenting Barrel** products are ready to collect in the morning after 1 night of processing.

 Fermenting Barrel Lv3 | 25 | 36 | 4

### **Profitability**

Rainbow Bean, Ginger, Hermit's Root, and Bellhop are most profitable after being processed into juice, using any level **Fermenting Barrel**.

Nitro Pineapple and Grouply Grapes are profitable using any level **Fermenting Barrel**, but are generally more profitable when processed through a **Jam Maker**.

Juicing Lococonut and Nemean Tomatoes becomes profitable in a **Fermenting Barrell Lv3**; however, they're still generally more profitable when processed through a **Dessert Maker** (Loconut) or **Jam Maker** (Grouply Grapes, Nemean Tomatoes).

#### Fermenting Barrel (Level 1-2) added value for profitable ingredients

*All ingredients not listed either gain no value or lose value.*

#### Fermenting Barrel (Level 3) added value for profitable ingredients

*Juice value and added value are calculated per ingredient processed. All ingredients not listed either gain no value or lose value.*

### **Using fermented beverages for health and status benefits**

Drinks restore more HP than their raw ingredients, and can sometimes impart beneficial status effects that their raw ingredients lack.

Fermented drinks do not fill the Protagonist's stomach, so their use in combat is limited only by the number the player can produce and carry.

Drinks can also be consumed without the player becoming momentarily rooted in place, so the risk of taking damage while attempting to heal is significantly less than with foods.

### **Food Delivery Missions**

One Vegetable Juice is required to cook Vegetable Muffin for Nemea Food Delivery.

One each of Orange Juice, Peach Juice, Lemon Juice, and Grape Juice are required to make The Seasons for Shatolla Food Delivery.

## Jam Makers

**Jam Makers** can process a wide range of fruits and vegetables into jam. Jams restore negligible HP and do not convey status benefits, so there's little reason to make unprofitable jams.

Players can obtain the basic **Jam Maker** recipe after completing six tasks in Iris's Faerie Order book.

**Jam Maker** products are ready to collect in the morning after 3 nights of processing.

 Jam Maker Lv3 | 40 | 20 | 4

### **Profitability**

Most fruits are most profitable when processed into jam, while most vegetables lose value.

#### Jam Maker (basic) added value for profitable ingredients

*Jam value and added value are calculated per ingredient processed. All ingredients not listed either gain no value or lose value.*

#### Jam Maker Lv2 added value for profitable ingredients

*Jam value and added value are calculated per ingredient processed. All ingredients not listed either gain no value or lose value.*

#### Jam Maker Lv3 added value for profitable ingredients

### **Food Delivery Missions**

One Vegetable Jam is required to cook Vegetable Muffin for Nemea Food Delivery.

## **Flour Mills**

**Flour Mills** are a single-ingredient machine, processing only Stellar Wheat into Flour. Although Flour is profitable to sell, it has greater utility as a cooking ingredient.

Players can obtain the basic **Flour Mill** recipe after completing six tasks in Juno's Faerie Order book.

**Flour Mill** products are ready to collect in the morning after 1 night of processing.

 Flour Mill Lv3 | 40 | 20 | 4

### **Profitability**

Processing Stellar Wheat into Flour is profitable with any level of Flour Mill, though profit is minimal.

 Flour Mill Lv3 | 35 | 43

### **Food Delivery Missions**

Flour is the most commonly used ingredient in the lucrative Food Delivery missions, available in each town's inn or tavern. Eighteen Flour are required to complete all five Food Delivery missions:

* 5 to cook Lethe Breakfast, Lantern Pumpkin Gratin, and King Cake for Lethe Food Delivery
* 6 to cook Eggs Benedict, Nemea Bolognese, Nemea Meat Pizza, Peach Rose Mousse, and Strawberry Shortcake for Nemea Food Delivery
* 3 to cook Fisherman's Sandwich and Vongole Bianco for Shatolla Food Delivery
* 1 to cook Pepper Creme Penne for Argene Food Delivery
* 3 to cook Melting Chocolate Fondant and Forbidden Apple Pie for Abandoned Eden Food Delivery

## **Dessert Makers**

**Dessert Makers** can process Honey Flower into Syrup, Nectarcane into Sugar, and Lococonut into Coconut Milk. These can be sold for a profit or used in cooking recipes.

Players can obtain the basic **Dessert Maker** recipe after completing three tasks in Iris's Faerie Order book.

All ingredients that can be processed through a **Dessert Maker** require the Waterside Biome, which is unlocked by clearing Chapter 3A and 3B and welcoming Aeril and Iris to Bird's Eye Brae. The biome is unlocked via cutscene the morning after the arrival of whichever of the two arrives last.

**Dessert Maker** products are ready to collect in the morning after 1 night of processing.

 Dessert Maker Lv3 | 25 | 36 | 4

### **Profitability**

Processing Nectarcane into Sugar and Honey Flower into Syrup are the most profitable uses of basic and Level 2 Dessert Maker. At Level 3, Honey Flower returns the most profit.

### **Food Delivery Missions**

One Coconut Milk and one **Syrup** are required to make Super Sweet Shatollan Smoothie for Shatolla Food Delivery.

Twelve **Sugar** are required to complete all five Food Delivery missions:

* 3 to cook Vegetable Muffin and King Cake for Lethe Food Delivery
* 3 to make Peach Rose Mousse and Strawberry Shortcake for Nemea Food Delivery
* 1 to make **Super Sweet Shatollan Smoothie** for **Shatolla Food Delivery**
* 1 to make Ice Cream for Argene Food Delivery
* 4 to make Melting Chocolate Fondant, Forbidden Apple Pie, and Bunny Buns for Abandoned Eden Food Delivery.

## **Cheese Makers**

**Cheese Makers** are a single-ingredient machine, processing only Woolum Milk into Cheese. Cheese can be sold for a profit or used as a cooking ingredient. Although Cheese can be eaten, it restores negligible HP and no Stamina so is not particularly useful this way.

Players can obtain the basic **Cheese Maker** recipe after completing three tasks in Aeril's Faerie Order book.

**Cheese Maker** products are ready to collect in the morning after 1 night of processing.

 Cheese Maker Lv3 | 40 | 20 | 4

### **Profitability**

Processing Woolum Milk into Cheese profitable in any level **Cheese Maker**, but becomes more profitable with higher-level machines.

 Cheese Maker Lv3 | 38 | 45

### **Food Delivery Missions**

Seven **Cheese** are required to complete all five Food Delivery missions:

* 2 to cook Lantern Pumpkin Gratin for Lethe Food Delivery
* 3 to cook Cheese & Tomato Caprese, Tomato & Eggplant Cheese Bake, and Nemea Meat Pizza for Nemea Food Delivery
* 2 to cook Jansson's Temptation for Argene Food Delivery

## **Mayonnaise Makers**

**Mayonnaise Makers** are a single-ingredient machine, processing only Cluffowl Eggs into Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise can be sold for a profit or used as a cooking ingredient.

Players can obtain the basic **Mayonnaise Maker** recipe after completing three tasks in Shirii's Faerie Order book.

**Mayonnaise Maker** products are ready to collect in the morning after 1 night of processing.

 Mayonnaise Maker Lv3 | 40 | 20 | 4

### **Profitability**

Processing Cluffowl Eggs into Mayonnaise is profitable in any level **Mayonnaise Maker**, but becomes more profitable with higher-level machines.

 Mayonnaise Maker Lv3 | 38 | 45

### **Food Delivery Missions**

One **Mayonnaise** is required to make Herring in a Fur Coat for Argene Food Delivery.

## **Smokers**

**Smokers** can process Meat, Premium Meat, and Eggs to be sold for a profit. Smoked Meat and Smoked Eggs can also be eaten to restore HP.

Players can obtain the basic **Smoker** recipe after completing six tasks in Aeril's Faerie Order book.

All **Smoker** machines require 1 input and produce 1 output, but upgraded **Smokers** reduce the processing time required. Thus, all **Smokers** are equally profitable per ingredient, but higher-level machines return a greater profit per day.

 Smoker Lv3 | 3 | 4

### **Profitability**

Because Meat and Premium Meat both produce the same Smoked Meat, smoking **Premium Meat** adds less value above the raw sale price than smoking regular **Meat**. Smoking an **Egg** provides the lowest return.

## **Spice Makers**

**Spice Makers** can process Revol Pepper into Black Pepper and Curry Herbs into Curry Spice. These can be sold for a profit or used in cooking recipes.

Players can obtain the basic **Spice Maker** recipe after completing three tasks in Shirii's Faerie Order book.

**Spice Maker** products are ready to collect in the morning after 1 night of processing.

 Spice Maker Lv3 | 25 | 36 | 4

### **Profitability**

**Curry Herbs** are the more profitable of the two ingredients to process, with the gap becoming especially wide when using Level 3 machines.

### **Food Delivery Missions**

Two **Curry Spice** are required to cook Meat with Herbs & Spices for Argene Food Delivery, and one **Curry Spice** is required to cook Curry Rice for Abandoned Eden Food Delivery.

Eight **Black Pepper** are required to cook Super Spicy Argene Hotpot, Summer & Winter Spicy Fish, **Meat with Herbs & Spices**, and Pepper Creme Penne for Argene Food Delivery.

## **Feed Makers**

**Feed Makers** produce Cluffowl Feed from grains and Woolum Feed from greens. Feed is not profitable to sell but farm animals who consume 1 serving of feed every night produce higher-quality products and have a greater chance to drop items like Natural Wool, Splendid Horns, Cotton Feathers, and Premium Feathers that can be sold for money.

There is no quality level for animal feed. Instead, using high-quality inputs in a feed maker results in higher output quantity.

Players can purchase the basic **Feed Maker** recipe for 200 Grilla from the Conellu Emporium, which opens in Lethe's open air market no earlier than Day 7. Players will see a cutscene the first time they enter Lethe after the Emporium has opened.

### Feed Maker inputs and outputs

 GrassDress LettuceWild Leaf | Woolum Feed

### **Profitable use**

Feed sells for 5 Grila per serving, which is not only less than the value of the raw ingredients used to make it, but even less the seeds used to grow them.

Should you run out of animal feed, the Conellu Emporium will sell you some for a hefty 100 Grilla per serving, so processing your own feed provides substantial savings.

Because of their fast growing cycle and low seed costs, **Stellar Wheat** and **Grass** are the best options when purchasing seeds to grow for animal feed. However, players can reduce their need to grow greens for Woolum Feed by using Wild Leaf foraged from Harvesting Points.

1. ↑ Grouply Grapes (any quality) and NQ Nemean Tomatoes are more profitable when processed through a Fermenting Barrel Lv3 than through a basic Jam Maker, and HQ Lococonut is more profitable in a Fermenting Barrel Lv3 than in a basic Dessert Maker, but the difference is relatively small, and players will likely craft the more profitable Dessert Maker Lv2 and Jam Maker Lv2 before they craft a Fermenting Barrel Lv3.
