Loftia farming guide

Short answer

Blue Cap Mushroom earns the most at about 90 Dew per hour but needs a Hydrofarm. In a Garden Bed, Basil, Spinach, Cauliflower and Tomato earn about 60. If you check in less often, Chili Pepper earns 55 per hour from a single one-hour grow.

Select a column to sort. Dew per hour is sell price minus seed cost, divided by grow time, for one crop at Farming Lv.1. "Waters" is grow time divided by the water interval, rounded up.

Tree saplings have no shop price, so their profit is blank. Banana trees give up to 5 harvests from one sapling.

What to plant

  • You are playing now: Tomato, Cauliflower or Spinach. They are short grows with high Dew per hour.
  • You log in once in a while: Chili Pepper or Garlic. Each takes an hour and pays over 40 Dew per hour.
  • You will be away a long time: Pineapple needs one watering in two hours, though it earns less per hour.
  • You need quest or bundle crops: plant what the Community Farms bundles ask for first. Those unlock better tools.

Seed prices we corrected

Some crop tables online show much lower seed costs, which inflates their profit figures. We use the prices listed for Hazel's Seed Shop Game data.

Farming questions

What is the most profitable crop in Loftia?

Blue Cap Mushroom earns the most at about 90 Dew per hour, but it needs a Hydrofarm. In a Garden Bed, Basil, Spinach, Cauliflower and Tomato all earn about 60 Dew per hour.

How do you plant seeds in Loftia?

Buy seeds from Hazel, open the Tool Wheel, choose the seed and plant it in a Garden Bed. Trees need a Tree Plot, Grape needs a Trellis, and Blue Cap Mushroom needs a Hydrofarm.

Does Loftia have automation?

Not in the factory sense. The closest options are the Hydrofarm, which needs no daily watering, the Drip Irrigator, which keeps tiles hydrated 150% longer, and Lv.3 tools with a battery fitted.
