I was just making one and was doing some calculations in my head about the worth- and, it seemed kind of iffy at best.

Anyone have any ideas about this?

Like, you have to buy or get a hold of a lucky bean and a sprouted pumpkin, which can already be 20 pix. Then two clover leaves, which I happen to grow myself, but are priced at about 10 a piece again. Then another fully grown pumpkin, about 15 pix. And then a cooking oil, at 2 pix.

Adding that together you get 57 pix on total, for something that can only ever give you up to 50 pix.

What is the point?

If I didn't grow clover leaves myself I'd be losing money- and that's only if I only ever produce grade 100 potions which, isn't the case at all.

And then on TOP of that I have to wait several hours/days of my pets to get back.

So I'm paying for money I already had, and having to wait for it too.

I think Wealth potions need a boost to the max amount they can award you.

@Ghostybees

Wealth potions helped me get the mansion a lot faster! For me, the trick was to not buy any of the ingredients (except cooking oil of course). I was in the woodland bungalow at the time, and my plant setup was 2 giant clovers and 1 dragonfruit cactus. The dragonfruit was for making Potion/Evobar Ingredient Potions so that I could find Lucky Beans. Having 3 pumpkin slots helped me with sprouting pumpkins and whichever colors I needed. Though, one thing I did find tricky was juggling pumpkin slots when I needed food. Sometimes my pets would have to wait a whole day after they were done resting before I sent them on another hoard because I made it a point to never buy food. There was also slvl from interactions that was sometimes hard to come by, which caused more waiting around. But eventually I was sending out 2 level 100 pets at a time (evolved or legendary) with wealth potions, and they'd each bring back at least 100 PC from a g96 potion and 100 slvl. Considering that their hoards lasted 2 days, and they weren't always sent out at the same time, I was making about 100 PC a day from them, on top of what I was making by selling hoard items (which varied greatly). In the end it took me about two months to get the mansion this way, starting from the first week of January to March 5th.

'Course, this all happened before the hoard update, so I'm not sure if Slvl still affects wealth potions the same way. I'm making a wealth potion right now, so I'll have to test it!

@Ghostybees
Definitely only worth it if you grow at least clovers yourself. If you have access to lucky beans and grow your own sprouting pumkins too then yes it worth it because not only it boost the pc your pet get it also boost your pet hoard exp gain from that hoard . Pet hoard exp depend how much pc , loot and the rarity of loot calculate together to give out the HEXP final for your pet. So if you have too many lucky beans you can grow clovers and make some of them for your pet to help boost some exp and pc gain for your pet.

@Ghostybees Thank you for asking this. I've been wondering about this myself.

I asked that question of myself a while ago! It actually depends on what's the highest selling item on the market, since clovers might just be less value than anything else.

For example, a while ago i was wondering if it would be more worth it to sell blueberries or another plant since each was 15-20 apiece, and it did actually come up that if you can sell them at that price, it's probably just better to grow other things and sell the pieces individually (Sprouts for 15 per, lucky beans for whatever, clovers for 15/pc) or sell something of higher value instead of clovers, and also open up other options for yourself.

The main problem is the low yield of clovers (1 per harvest), and you need 2 to make the potion, and lucky beans, which are entirely dependent on... well, luck. I recently went through about 10 dragonfruit, and got maybe 3 lucky beans out of it?

Lower levelled pets would be more likely to get lucky beans, but the grade would be lower, so yeah...

Right now, I find them still worth because currently clovers are 15-ish on the market, with a 24hr growth rate, so they're good to sell. They're also good for getting low levelled pets up in exp quick, but other than that wealth potions are a little bogged down with problems.

They are still a good source of steady income-- if you actually have the clovers. It's just the beans that really give trouble, I feel. They're way too hard to get. I get that wealth potions are the easiest recipe and probably the go-to for newbies, but yeah, the beans are... a bit iffy, I think? If you can't find them, you can't make the potions unless you buy them, and lucky beans aren't that cheap on the auction market last I checked, because they're a bit unreliable to find. They also require an entirely different plant to even get (dragonfruit), which is troublesome when the starter house has only 2 plant pots, so either you wait 2 days for 2 clovers or buy the dragonfruit at a chance for lucky beans.

EDIT: 31/2/2019 I just checked, the only lucky bean on the auction market is 25pc, which really isn't worth making a wealth potion with since that's already half the price...

@Admiral

You have a point about the beans being hard to get. Sometimes I'd use three potions in a row and find zero, then all of a sudden one of my pets that wasn't given any potions would find some. At one point I traded items to @AlphaLeo000 for some because she had a huge stack of them (maybe still does?). You don't always have to buy them with PC if a player has a wishlist. Admittedly though, those players are few, lol.

so much good information in this thread I'm looking to a bigger home already and now see that wealth potions are more useful than I previously thought!

Hello I was pinged
I have a hefty stack of beans, not infinite but plenty more than I can use myself (which I don’t really at all). I have a post (that I haven’t bumped in ages lol) where I trade one pumpkin product (or about 100 food) for 1 bean, so 3 flowers or 2 pumpkins is about 3 beans, and they’re high enough grade that they can make 90ish+ grade potions if everything else is at g100
Personally I definitely think they’re only worth it if you grow everything else yourself, at most paying about 10pc to make a high grade potion.
unlike the other potions they’re not something to gamble and invest in making when their output is already known haha

If you grow everything yourself, or almost everything, and have instant-turnaround capabilities such as the instant-brew super potions and hoard return potions, it can be a really good way to stack up some extra PC pretty quickly. If not then it's always a good potion to throw onto a hoard for some extra coin if you have no other potions to use.
