Which crop do you harvest the most?

I've been using Witch Marge to grow Silvertonge which lets me harvest it in 4 hours.

I hadn't really thought about this strategy in a while. Back in October when Witch Marge tasks paid out in treats, it was a money loser since in any scenario imaginable the money lost because Marge was tied up with the cauldron instead of working on one of her regular tasks was greater than the increase due to the higher rate of return for Silvertongue. However, now that Witch Marge tasks pay off in money, this is actually the preferred strategy -- but only if you're tapping at 4-hour increments. If you're tapping at 8-hour increments, then using Regular Marge in her 8-hour task slightly beats out using Witch Marge.

It's a minor point but now that she's not paying out in treats you should keep Marge in her witch outfit. Witch Marge pays out like a premium character so even if you're just sending her to the Kwik-E-Mart you're going to make $105 instead of $70 for the hour by having her in her premium outfit.

Point taken. I would note that the calculations I cited above assume that one is using Witch Marge only in her 4-hour task (speeding up crops) as per the originally suggested scenario.

I also have to say that part of me resists the idea of having a Halloween character parade around in my Springfield given that that holiday is nearly a month behind us -- even if mothballing her means forgoing some virtual money. But that's just me. :wink:
