OK so today I made a quick trip to The Future of Farms. I’ve posted about the orb farms here before, a thorough breakdown with some numbers.
In the course of a 19 minute video, I did a bit of messing around, taking a look at the setup, then farmed a little over 13,000 coins and two stacks of shimmering/pulsating orbs. The pulsating orb farm has been upgraded since I was last there, I was able to walk in and immediately start farming upwards, which was awesome.
So in addition to the numbers published above regarding turnover and cost/earnings - here’s a video of what it looks like to farm this stuff. I forgot and used Boundless’ default resolution. At this time the vid is SD and I’m not sure if Youtube will upscale to HD due to the resolution (not enough pixels there).
Thanks again to @HOST for an excellent set of farms, fully open to the public!
EDIT: The video is 19 minutes, the fast brew is 15. The numbers here reflect 13,000 coins and almost 1800 orbs in those 15 minutes, including some time spent minting and moving between farms.
Your tool costs may vary but you are easily able to sustain (after selling orbs) between 1000 and 2000 coins per minute spent in the farm. Maybe more depending on the orb market…
Right now I have plenty of orbs:
