Jan 17,2025 Author: Noah

Kegs and Preserves Jars: A Side-by-Side Comparison

Both Kegs and Preserves Jars create artisan goods from produce, but the quality of the input doesn't affect the output's value. Therefore, use lower-quality items for maximum efficiency.

Preserves Jars:

Produce Jellies, Pickles, Aged Roe, and Caviar. Obtained from bundles, the Prize Machine, or crafted at Farming Level 4 using 50 Wood, 40 Stone, and 8 Coal.

Item In Jar Product Base Sell Price
Any fruit [fruit name] Jelly 2 x [base price] + 50
Any vegetable Pickled [item name] 2 x [base price] + 50
Morel/Chanterelle etc. Pickled [item name] 2 x [base price] + 50
Roe (except Sturgeon) Aged [fish name] Roe 2 x [roe price]
Sturgeon Roe Caviar 2 x [roe price]

Kegs:

Produce Wine, Beer, Pale Ale, Coffee, Juice, Green Tea, and Vinegar. Obtained from bundles, the Prize Machine, or crafted at Farming Level 8 using 30 Wood, 1 Copper Bar, 1 Iron Bar, and 1 Oak Resin.

Item In Keg Product Base Sell Price
Any fruit [fruit name] Wine 3 x [base price]
Any vegetable (except hops/wheat) [item name] Juice 2.25 x [base price]
Hops Pale Ale 300g
Wheat Beer 200g
Honey Mead 200g
Tea Leaves Green Tea 100g
Coffee Beans (5) Coffee 150g
Rice Vinegar 100g

Kegs vs. Preserves Jars: The Verdict

Kegs generally yield higher profits, especially with Cask aging for Iridium-quality goods (double the normal price). However, they're more expensive and time-consuming to craft and use. Preserves Jars are cheaper and faster, making them ideal for early game or low-value, high-yield crops. The best approach is often to use both, leveraging their strengths depending on the crop and your farm's stage of development. Consider processing time and base price when deciding which to use. For example, fruits under 50g and vegetables under 200g often yield better returns in Preserves Jars due to faster processing.
