Most profitable crops for Essence Maker

Ranked by Profit/Day (PPD). Assumptions: 10★ crops over 28 days, processing enabled.

Why some numbers look “too high”: maker outputs can be 2×–3× raw value, and star quality amplifies the base sell price. If you have limited machines, capacity becomes the bottleneck—use the calculator to match your setup.

How this ranking is calculated

Assumptions: 10★ crops over a 28-day window.
We rank by Profit/Day (PPD): (total processed value − costs) ÷ window days.
If your maker availability is limited (few machines), results can shift—use the calculator for your exact setup.

Tip: If you have limited machines, maker capacity can become the real bottleneck. Rankings assume you can process continuously.
