&lt;div&gt;== Farming Fortune ==&lt;br /&gt;
Farming Fortune (or ff) is a stat that affects how many drops you get from crops with the formula similar to the one seen below&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ever since the Garden Update, Farming Fortune has been disabled on private islands in order to get players to farm on the garden rather than their islands&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Fortune Formula ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Average Drops} = \text{Base Crop Drops} \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{Farming Fortune + Crop Fortune}}{100}\right)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Guaranteed Drops} = \text{Base Crop Drops} \times \left(1 + \left\lfloor\frac{\text{Farming Fortune + Crop Fortune}}{100}\right\rfloor\right)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;P(\text{Additional Drop}) = \text{Base Crop Drops} \times \left(\frac{\text{Farming Fortune + Crop Fortune}}{100} \bmod 1 \right)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{subtext|color=grey|text=NOTE: Just like how all other fortune stats works, every 100 Farming Fortune adds to the crop multiplier. However, for any ff that does not complete another full 100, it instead gives a percentage chance for +1 drops worth of crops&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For Example: 1650 ff = 17 drops worth + 50% chance for it to be 18}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== How to Increase Your FF ==&lt;br /&gt;
By far the best way to see which upgrades are best for you, is to download [[SkyHanni]] and use &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;/ff&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to open SkyHanni&#039;s custom ff menu, from there you can click the paper icon on the left, and select your crop on the right and then just follow what it tells you to get&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{subtext|color=grey|text=NOTE: SkyHanni does not yet include every way possible to get ff. For example, it does not include anything to do with strength for a [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Mooshroom_Cow_Pet#Stats Legendary Mooshroom Cow] along with a few other FF sources}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== How to Find Your Real FF ==&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Farming Fortune&amp;quot; stat in skyblock isn&#039;t your real fortune when your farming, you can find your real fortune by either using [[SkyHanni]], or adding your farming fortune and &amp;lt;crop&amp;gt; fortune together.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;For example&#039;&#039;&#039;: if I have {{color|color=#ffaa00|text=1400 Farming Fortune}} and {{color|color=#ffaa00|text=250 Cocoa Beans Fortune}}, my real fortune when farming cocoa is {{color|color=#ffaa00|text=1650 Fortune}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

{{subtext|color=red|text=NOTE: Although Cane/Cactus have a base drop of 1, generally you break 2 blocks at once, so the max collection/h calculation assumes you get 2 cane per block}}&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;{{subtext|color=grey|text=When including average t3 dicer rng, melon max ff is technically 1,998 and max ff for pumpkin is 2,032}}&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fun Fact: Although Max Fortune for mathematical hoes are calculated using a 10 Billion counter hoe, theoretically, you can gain fortune from counter up to 1 Quintillion&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Hypixel Wiki Article:&#039;&#039;&#039; https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pests&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most efficient way to play the game shouldn’t include a boring and daunting task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to level up Farming shouldn&#039;t be to farm &amp;lt;insert best crop&amp;gt; from lvl 10 to 60, without any new interesting mechanics in between.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Jayavarmen&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Jayavarmen, https://hypixel.net/threads/1-0-design-thread-1-skills.4531724/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Bonus Pest Chance ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bonus Pest Chance is a stat that increases the amount of pests you spawn at once. Read the page for that [[Bonus Pest Chance|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fortune Decrease ==&lt;br /&gt;
Having pests spawned on your Garden decreases your farming fortune according to the table below. When fortune is applied to a pest kill, the pest that was just killed does not count towards the fortune decrease. So if you have 4 pests on your garden and kill one, that pest gets subtracted first, leaving your fortune untouched for that kill. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;You can have one more pest spawned on your garden for every 100 Bonus Pest Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; before the fortune decrease starts. For example, at 100 Bonus Pest Chance you can have 4 pests spawned with no decrease in fortune, and the 5th pest will reduce your fortune by 5%, with the next spawns following the order below. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = 160 * \left(\text{Base Items} + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Bonus Fortune}}{\text{Fortune Scaling}} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bonus Fortune&#039;&#039;&#039; - +100 for [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] and +1-100 for [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Hedgehog_Pet Hedgehog Pet] (depending on its level), for a maximum of 200 total.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that don&#039;t have guaranteed drop. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Bonus Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{subtext|color=red|text=NOTE: ff for drops is calculated &#039;&#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039;&#039; killing the pest, meaning there is no ff decrease when killing pests at 4 pests, but there is at 5 pests}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pest Farming Strategies ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Pests/Strategies]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here]&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most efficient way to play the game shouldn’t include a boring and daunting task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to level up Farming shouldn&#039;t be to farm &amp;lt;insert best crop&amp;gt; from lvl 10 to 60, without any new interesting mechanics in between.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Bonus Pest Chance ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bonus Pest Chance is a stat that increases the amount of pests you spawn at once. Read the page for that [[Bonus Pest Chance|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fortune Decrease ==&lt;br /&gt;
Having pests spawned on your Garden decreases your farming fortune according to the table below. When fortune is applied to a pest kill, the pest that was just killed does not count towards the fortune decrease. So if you have 4 pests on your garden and kill one, that pest gets subtracted first, leaving your fortune untouched for that kill. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;You can have one more pest spawned on your garden for every 100 Bonus Pest Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; before the fortune decrease starts. For example, at 100 Bonus Pest Chance you can have 4 pests spawned with no decrease in fortune, and the 5th pest will reduce your fortune by 5%, with the next spawns following the order below. &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Base Drops} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{\text{Fortune Scaling}} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Base Drops} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + 100}{\text{Fortune Scaling}} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that don&#039;t have guaranteed drop. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{subtext|color=red|text=NOTE: ff for drops is calculated &#039;&#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039;&#039; killing the pest, meaning there is no ff decrease when killing pests at 4 pests, but there is at 5 pests}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pest Farming Strategies ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Pests/Strategies]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here]&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Base Drops} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{\text{Fortune Scaling}} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Base Drops} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + 100}{\text{Fortune Scaling}} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that don&#039;t have guaranteed drop. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{subtext|color=red|text=NOTE: ff for drops is calculated &#039;&#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039;&#039; killing the pest, meaning there is no ff decrease when killing pests at 4 pests, but there is at 5 pests}}&lt;br /&gt;

== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here]&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most efficient way to play the game shouldn’t include a boring and daunting task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to level up Farming shouldn&#039;t be to farm &amp;lt;insert best crop&amp;gt; from lvl 10 to 60, without any new interesting mechanics in between.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Bonus Pest Chance ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bonus Pest Chance is a stat that increases the amount of pests you spawn at once. Read the page for that [[Bonus Pest Chance|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fortune Decrease ==&lt;br /&gt;
Having pests spawned on your Garden decreases your farming fortune according to the table below. When fortune is applied to a pest kill, the pest that was just killed does not count towards the fortune decrease. So if you have 4 pests on your garden and kill one, that pest gets subtracted first, leaving your fortune untouched for that kill. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;You can have one more pest spawned on your garden for every 100 Bonus Pest Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; before the fortune decrease starts. For example, at 100 Bonus Pest Chance you can have 4 pests spawned with no decrease in fortune, and the 5th pest will reduce your fortune by 5%, with the next spawns following the order below. &lt;br /&gt;

=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Base Drops} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{\text{Fortune Scaling}} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 4 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. For all crops besides wheat, this is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; as they drop the enchanted variant of their crop. For wheat, this value is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;1296&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; because flies drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Enchanted_Hay_Bale Enchanted Hay Bales] which don&#039;t follow the usual convention of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160 items = enchanted item&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that don&#039;t have guaranteed drop. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{subtext|color=red|text=NOTE: ff for drops is calculated &#039;&#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039;&#039; killing the pest, meaning there is no ff decrease when killing pests at 4 pests, but there is at 5 pests}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pest Farming Strategies ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Pests/Strategies]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fly Pest Balance Issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
The table of crop drops above has one significant discrepancy, fly pests drop significantly more crop items than the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why does this matter? ===&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted the same as normal farming in the game. This means they get counted in your normal collections, garden crop milestones, and Jacob Contest scores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally this wouldn&#039;t be an issue, but fly pests drop &#039;&#039;&#039;more wheat than max wheat farming rates&#039;&#039;&#039; because of the balance issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some top farmers, especially those who hold wheat leaderboard spots, understandably feel that their grind shouldn&#039;t be usurped by a new game mechanic that seems unintentional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why do fly pests drop so much more? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently believed to be an oversight from Hypixel. Compacted wheat items don&#039;t work the same as the rest of the crops, and most items in SkyBlock. Look at the following two tables of compacted crops, potato is used as an example that&#039;s mostly representative of the rest of the crops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;column-count:auto; column-width:400px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

|{{formatnum:1296}}&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;

|{{formatnum:144}} Enchanted Hay Bale&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:186624}}&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s easy to forget that normal hay bales are a crafting step in compacted wheat items, but this difference is significant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hypixel has a history of thinking tightly-tied hay bales are equivalent to double compacted other crops as well, the crafting recipe for the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Euclid%27s_Wheat_Hoe Euclid&#039;s Wheat Hoe] called for 256 tightly-tied hay bales for 2 years until the price was reduced to only 64 once the garden released. Based off of the NPC price for wheat today, 256 tightly-tied hay bales would cost &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:286654464}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;, with the reduced price of 64 only costing &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:71663616}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How could this be solved? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a matter of personal opinion, but here are some possibilities taken from the [[Elite Farmers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 1. Balance fly around the other pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces crop drops from flies&#039;&#039;&#039;. Here&#039;s an example of what new drop rates could be.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of flies dropping 1 enchanted hay bale, they can drop 18 hay bales (162 wheat items), bringing it close to the 160 of the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of the RNG drop being 1 tightly-tied hay bale, it can be a 1% chance to drop 32 enchanted hay bales, which would result in similar average drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Normal farming keeps a firm hold on the only way to increase crop collection fast, pest farming wouldn&#039;t be a threat to traditional wheat farmer&#039;s leaderboard spots.&lt;br /&gt;
* Removes wheat&#039;s advantage of having maxed out 100 [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune]. As the rest of the crops only have around 40-60 max fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* Players would no longer have to get lucky with pest RNG to max out personal best fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* The difficulty to obtain Jacob Contest medals for wheat contests would track with a player&#039;s fortune, rather than need some RNG from fly pests, especially for new players. This would be the same as the other crops are currently.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] will now be impossible, old scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest farming becomes insignificant, as no pests will be especially profitable. This removes a money making method that some people are grinding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 2. Balance other pests around flies ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel significantly &#039;&#039;&#039;increases crop drops for all other pests&#039;&#039;&#039;. This scenario assumes that crops dropped from pests will still count for collections, Jacob Contests, and crop milestones like they currently do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pest grinding is now a good money making method overall, way better than farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*All crops can likely have their [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] maxed out at 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding would replace normal farming for the best way to gain crop collections.&lt;br /&gt;
** Already the case for wheat and fly pests.&lt;br /&gt;
** Based on the incredible amount of arguments within farming communities that have happened due to flies being better than wheat farming, this solution would likely make a lot of farmers upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* Makes current Jacob Contest personal bests irrelevant, and the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] system would be based entirely on RNG instead of farming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 3. Don&#039;t count crops dropped from pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted for multiple things, stopping their drops from counting for &#039;&#039;&#039;at least crop collections&#039;&#039;&#039; would likely resolve a lot of problems people currently have with flies. Pest drops counting for Jacob Contests and Crop Milestones are less important, as they don&#039;t impact the long-standing system of farming being the best source for crop collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Crop collection leaderboard positions would no longer be threatened or made irrelevant by pests.&lt;br /&gt;
*This solution works no matter what the balance between different pests are.&lt;br /&gt;
**Pest drops can be balanced, but the point at which they get balanced to doesn&#039;t matter for this solution&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps the dynamic of being able to max out [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] for wheat, and other crops depending on if drops are changed.&lt;br /&gt;
**Unlike reducing crop drops from flies, this wouldn&#039;t require Hypixel to reset personal best scores.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gives players who only want to max Crop Milestones for SkyBlock XP an active way to &amp;quot;farm&amp;quot; by grinding pests, reducing their time investment.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps pests as a solid money making method.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The inconsistency of pest drops not counting for normal collections could confuse players, especially new ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 4. Reduce fly pest drops, increase the rest ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces the amount of wheat dropped from flies, below the rates for normal farming, as well as increases the drops from the rest of the pests to match this new value.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be balanced.&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be a good money making method, but not as much as normal farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might still be obtainable, but would require significant grind to get the RNG required.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding is a much more active activity than normal farming, it should make more money than farming does.&lt;br /&gt;
** One solution to this pain point is to give pests more drops, for example they could drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Cropie Cropie], [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Squash Squash], and [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Fermento Fermento].&lt;br /&gt;
** There are endless other ways for Hypixel to make pests more profitable without increasing crop drops.&lt;br /&gt;
* Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might be impossible and scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== Bonus Pest Chance ==&lt;br /&gt;
[https://wiki.hypixel.net/Bonus_Pest_Chance Bonus Pest Chance] (or bpc) is a stat that affects how many pests spawn on your garden with the formula similar to the one seen below&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pest Spawning Formula ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{PestSpawns} = 1 + \frac{\text{Bonus Pest Chance}}{100}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{subtext|color=grey|text=NOTE: Just like how Farming Fortune works, every 100 Bonus Pest Chance guarantees an additional pest. However, for any bpc that does not complete another full 100, it instead gives a percentage chance for one more pest to spawn&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For Example: 250 bpc = 3 pests + 50% chance of an additional pest}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Hypixel Wiki Article:&#039;&#039;&#039; https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pests&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most efficient way to play the game shouldn’t include a boring and daunting task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to level up Farming shouldn&#039;t be to farm &amp;lt;insert best crop&amp;gt; from lvl 10 to 60, without any new interesting mechanics in between.&lt;br /&gt;

== Bonus Pest Chance ==&lt;br /&gt;
Bonus Pest Chance is a stat that increases the amount of pests you spawn at once. Read the page for that [[Bonus Pest Chance|here]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fortune Decrease ==&lt;br /&gt;
Having pests spawned on your Garden decreases your farming fortune according to the table below. When fortune is applied to a pest kill, the pest that was just killed does not count towards the fortune decrease. So if you have 4 pests on your garden and kill one, that pest gets subtracted first, leaving your fortune untouched for that kill. &lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 4 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. For all crops besides wheat, this is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; as they drop the enchanted variant of their crop. For wheat, this value is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;1296&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; because flies drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Enchanted_Hay_Bale Enchanted Hay Bales] which don&#039;t follow the usual convention of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160 items = enchanted item&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that don&#039;t have guaranteed drop. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{subtext|color=red|text=NOTE: ff for drops is calculated &#039;&#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039;&#039; killing the pest, meaning there is no ff decrease when killing pests at 4 pests, but there is at 5 pests}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pest Farming Strategies ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Pests/Strategies]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fly Pest Balance Issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
The table of crop drops above has one significant discrepancy, fly pests drop significantly more crop items than the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why does this matter? ===&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted the same as normal farming in the game. This means they get counted in your normal collections, garden crop milestones, and Jacob Contest scores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally this wouldn&#039;t be an issue, but fly pests drop &#039;&#039;&#039;more wheat than max wheat farming rates&#039;&#039;&#039; because of the balance issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some top farmers, especially those who hold wheat leaderboard spots, understandably feel that their grind shouldn&#039;t be usurped by a new game mechanic that seems unintentional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why do fly pests drop so much more? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently believed to be an oversight from Hypixel. Compacted wheat items don&#039;t work the same as the rest of the crops, and most items in SkyBlock. Look at the following two tables of compacted crops, potato is used as an example that&#039;s mostly representative of the rest of the crops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|{{formatnum:144}} Enchanted Hay Bale&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:186624}}&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s easy to forget that normal hay bales are a crafting step in compacted wheat items, but this difference is significant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hypixel has a history of thinking tightly-tied hay bales are equivalent to double compacted other crops as well, the crafting recipe for the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Euclid%27s_Wheat_Hoe Euclid&#039;s Wheat Hoe] called for 256 tightly-tied hay bales for 2 years until the price was reduced to only 64 once the garden released. Based off of the NPC price for wheat today, 256 tightly-tied hay bales would cost &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:286654464}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;, with the reduced price of 64 only costing &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:71663616}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How could this be solved? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a matter of personal opinion, but here are some possibilities taken from the [[Elite Farmers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 1. Balance fly around the other pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces crop drops from flies&#039;&#039;&#039;. Here&#039;s an example of what new drop rates could be.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of flies dropping 1 enchanted hay bale, they can drop 18 hay bales (162 wheat items), bringing it close to the 160 of the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of the RNG drop being 1 tightly-tied hay bale, it can be a 1% chance to drop 32 enchanted hay bales, which would result in similar average drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Normal farming keeps a firm hold on the only way to increase crop collection fast, pest farming wouldn&#039;t be a threat to traditional wheat farmer&#039;s leaderboard spots.&lt;br /&gt;
* Removes wheat&#039;s advantage of having maxed out 100 [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune]. As the rest of the crops only have around 40-60 max fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* Players would no longer have to get lucky with pest RNG to max out personal best fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* The difficulty to obtain Jacob Contest medals for wheat contests would track with a player&#039;s fortune, rather than need some RNG from fly pests, especially for new players. This would be the same as the other crops are currently.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] will now be impossible, old scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest farming becomes insignificant, as no pests will be especially profitable. This removes a money making method that some people are grinding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 2. Balance other pests around flies ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel significantly &#039;&#039;&#039;increases crop drops for all other pests&#039;&#039;&#039;. This scenario assumes that crops dropped from pests will still count for collections, Jacob Contests, and crop milestones like they currently do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pest grinding is now a good money making method overall, way better than farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*All crops can likely have their [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] maxed out at 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding would replace normal farming for the best way to gain crop collections.&lt;br /&gt;
** Already the case for wheat and fly pests.&lt;br /&gt;
** Based on the incredible amount of arguments within farming communities that have happened due to flies being better than wheat farming, this solution would likely make a lot of farmers upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* Makes current Jacob Contest personal bests irrelevant, and the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] system would be based entirely on RNG instead of farming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 3. Don&#039;t count crops dropped from pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted for multiple things, stopping their drops from counting for &#039;&#039;&#039;at least crop collections&#039;&#039;&#039; would likely resolve a lot of problems people currently have with flies. Pest drops counting for Jacob Contests and Crop Milestones are less important, as they don&#039;t impact the long-standing system of farming being the best source for crop collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Crop collection leaderboard positions would no longer be threatened or made irrelevant by pests.&lt;br /&gt;
*This solution works no matter what the balance between different pests are.&lt;br /&gt;
**Pest drops can be balanced, but the point at which they get balanced to doesn&#039;t matter for this solution&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps the dynamic of being able to max out [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] for wheat, and other crops depending on if drops are changed.&lt;br /&gt;
**Unlike reducing crop drops from flies, this wouldn&#039;t require Hypixel to reset personal best scores.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gives players who only want to max Crop Milestones for SkyBlock XP an active way to &amp;quot;farm&amp;quot; by grinding pests, reducing their time investment.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps pests as a solid money making method.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The inconsistency of pest drops not counting for normal collections could confuse players, especially new ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 4. Reduce fly pest drops, increase the rest ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces the amount of wheat dropped from flies, below the rates for normal farming, as well as increases the drops from the rest of the pests to match this new value.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be balanced.&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be a good money making method, but not as much as normal farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might still be obtainable, but would require significant grind to get the RNG required.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding is a much more active activity than normal farming, it should make more money than farming does.&lt;br /&gt;
** One solution to this pain point is to give pests more drops, for example they could drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Cropie Cropie], [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Squash Squash], and [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Fermento Fermento].&lt;br /&gt;
** There are endless other ways for Hypixel to make pests more profitable without increasing crop drops.&lt;br /&gt;
* Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might be impossible and scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Hypixel Wiki Article:&#039;&#039;&#039; https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pests&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most efficient way to play the game shouldn’t include a boring and daunting task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to level up Farming shouldn&#039;t be to farm &amp;lt;insert best crop&amp;gt; from lvl 10 to 60, without any new interesting mechanics in between.&lt;br /&gt;

|{{formatnum:24053.76}}&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 4 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. For all crops besides wheat, this is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; as they drop the enchanted variant of their crop. For wheat, this value is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;1296&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; because flies drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Enchanted_Hay_Bale Enchanted Hay Bales] which don&#039;t follow the usual convention of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160 items = enchanted item&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that don&#039;t have guaranteed drop. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{subtext|color=red|text=NOTE: ff for drops is calculated &#039;&#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039;&#039; killing the pest, meaning there is no ff decrease when killing pests at 4 pests, but there is at 5 pests}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pest Farming Strategies ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Pests/Strategies]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fly Pest Balance Issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
The table of crop drops above has one significant discrepancy, fly pests drop significantly more crop items than the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why does this matter? ===&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted the same as normal farming in the game. This means they get counted in your normal collections, garden crop milestones, and Jacob Contest scores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally this wouldn&#039;t be an issue, but fly pests drop &#039;&#039;&#039;more wheat than max wheat farming rates&#039;&#039;&#039; because of the balance issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some top farmers, especially those who hold wheat leaderboard spots, understandably feel that their grind shouldn&#039;t be usurped by a new game mechanic that seems unintentional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why do fly pests drop so much more? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently believed to be an oversight from Hypixel. Compacted wheat items don&#039;t work the same as the rest of the crops, and most items in SkyBlock. Look at the following two tables of compacted crops, potato is used as an example that&#039;s mostly representative of the rest of the crops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;column-count:auto; column-width:400px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Enchanted Hay Bale&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:144}} Hay Bale&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:1296}}&lt;br /&gt;

|{{formatnum:144}} Enchanted Hay Bale&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:186624}}&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s easy to forget that normal hay bales are a crafting step in compacted wheat items, but this difference is significant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hypixel has a history of thinking tightly-tied hay bales are equivalent to double compacted other crops as well, the crafting recipe for the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Euclid%27s_Wheat_Hoe Euclid&#039;s Wheat Hoe] called for 256 tightly-tied hay bales for 2 years until the price was reduced to only 64 once the garden released. Based off of the NPC price for wheat today, 256 tightly-tied hay bales would cost &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:286654464}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;, with the reduced price of 64 only costing &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:71663616}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How could this be solved? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a matter of personal opinion, but here are some possibilities taken from the [[Elite Farmers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 1. Balance fly around the other pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces crop drops from flies&#039;&#039;&#039;. Here&#039;s an example of what new drop rates could be.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of flies dropping 1 enchanted hay bale, they can drop 18 hay bales (162 wheat items), bringing it close to the 160 of the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of the RNG drop being 1 tightly-tied hay bale, it can be a 1% chance to drop 32 enchanted hay bales, which would result in similar average drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Normal farming keeps a firm hold on the only way to increase crop collection fast, pest farming wouldn&#039;t be a threat to traditional wheat farmer&#039;s leaderboard spots.&lt;br /&gt;
* Removes wheat&#039;s advantage of having maxed out 100 [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune]. As the rest of the crops only have around 40-60 max fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* Players would no longer have to get lucky with pest RNG to max out personal best fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* The difficulty to obtain Jacob Contest medals for wheat contests would track with a player&#039;s fortune, rather than need some RNG from fly pests, especially for new players. This would be the same as the other crops are currently.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] will now be impossible, old scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest farming becomes insignificant, as no pests will be especially profitable. This removes a money making method that some people are grinding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 2. Balance other pests around flies ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel significantly &#039;&#039;&#039;increases crop drops for all other pests&#039;&#039;&#039;. This scenario assumes that crops dropped from pests will still count for collections, Jacob Contests, and crop milestones like they currently do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pest grinding is now a good money making method overall, way better than farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*All crops can likely have their [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] maxed out at 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding would replace normal farming for the best way to gain crop collections.&lt;br /&gt;
** Already the case for wheat and fly pests.&lt;br /&gt;
** Based on the incredible amount of arguments within farming communities that have happened due to flies being better than wheat farming, this solution would likely make a lot of farmers upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* Makes current Jacob Contest personal bests irrelevant, and the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] system would be based entirely on RNG instead of farming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 3. Don&#039;t count crops dropped from pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted for multiple things, stopping their drops from counting for &#039;&#039;&#039;at least crop collections&#039;&#039;&#039; would likely resolve a lot of problems people currently have with flies. Pest drops counting for Jacob Contests and Crop Milestones are less important, as they don&#039;t impact the long-standing system of farming being the best source for crop collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Crop collection leaderboard positions would no longer be threatened or made irrelevant by pests.&lt;br /&gt;
*This solution works no matter what the balance between different pests are.&lt;br /&gt;
**Pest drops can be balanced, but the point at which they get balanced to doesn&#039;t matter for this solution&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps the dynamic of being able to max out [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] for wheat, and other crops depending on if drops are changed.&lt;br /&gt;
**Unlike reducing crop drops from flies, this wouldn&#039;t require Hypixel to reset personal best scores.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gives players who only want to max Crop Milestones for SkyBlock XP an active way to &amp;quot;farm&amp;quot; by grinding pests, reducing their time investment.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps pests as a solid money making method.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The inconsistency of pest drops not counting for normal collections could confuse players, especially new ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 4. Reduce fly pest drops, increase the rest ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces the amount of wheat dropped from flies, below the rates for normal farming, as well as increases the drops from the rest of the pests to match this new value.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be balanced.&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be a good money making method, but not as much as normal farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might still be obtainable, but would require significant grind to get the RNG required.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding is a much more active activity than normal farming, it should make more money than farming does.&lt;br /&gt;
** One solution to this pain point is to give pests more drops, for example they could drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Cropie Cropie], [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Squash Squash], and [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Fermento Fermento].&lt;br /&gt;
** There are endless other ways for Hypixel to make pests more profitable without increasing crop drops.&lt;br /&gt;
* Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might be impossible and scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most efficient way to play the game shouldn’t include a boring and daunting task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to level up Farming shouldn&#039;t be to farm &amp;lt;insert best crop&amp;gt; from lvl 10 to 60, without any new interesting mechanics in between.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 4 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. For all crops besides wheat, this is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; as they drop the enchanted variant of their crop. For wheat, this value is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;1296&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; because flies drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Enchanted_Hay_Bale Enchanted Hay Bales] which don&#039;t follow the usual convention of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160 items = enchanted item&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that have a base chance of less than 5%. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fly Pest Balance Issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
The table of crop drops above has one significant discrepancy, fly pests drop significantly more crop items than the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why does this matter? ===&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted the same as normal farming in the game. This means they get counted in your normal collections, garden crop milestones, and Jacob Contest scores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally this wouldn&#039;t be an issue, but fly pests drop &#039;&#039;&#039;more wheat than max wheat farming rates&#039;&#039;&#039; because of the balance issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some top farmers, especially those who hold wheat leaderboard spots, understandably feel that their grind shouldn&#039;t be usurped by a new game mechanic that seems unintentional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why do fly pests drop so much more? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently believed to be an oversight from Hypixel. Compacted wheat items don&#039;t work the same as the rest of the crops, and most items in SkyBlock. Look at the following two tables of compacted crops, potato is used as an example that&#039;s mostly representative of the rest of the crops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;column-count:auto; column-width:400px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

|+Compacted Wheat&lt;br /&gt;

|Hay Bale&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:9}} Wheat&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:9}}&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Enchanted Hay Bale&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:144}} Hay Bale&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:1296}}&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Tightly-Tied Hay Bale&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:144}} Enchanted Hay Bale&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:186624}}&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s easy to forget that normal hay bales are a crafting step in compacted wheat items, but this difference is significant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hypixel has a history of thinking tightly-tied hay bales are equivalent to double compacted other crops as well, the crafting recipe for the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Euclid%27s_Wheat_Hoe Euclid&#039;s Wheat Hoe] called for 256 tightly-tied hay bales for 2 years until the price was reduced to only 64 once the garden released. Based off of the NPC price for wheat today, 256 tightly-tied hay bales would cost &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:286654464}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;, with the reduced price of 64 only costing &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:71663616}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How could this be solved? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a matter of personal opinion, but here are some possibilities taken from the [[Elite Farmers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 1. Balance fly around the other pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces crop drops from flies&#039;&#039;&#039;. Here&#039;s an example of what new drop rates could be.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of flies dropping 1 enchanted hay bale, they can drop 18 hay bales (162 wheat items), bringing it close to the 160 of the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of the RNG drop being 1 tightly-tied hay bale, it can be a 1% chance to drop 32 enchanted hay bales, which would result in similar average drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Normal farming keeps a firm hold on the only way to increase crop collection fast, pest farming wouldn&#039;t be a threat to traditional wheat farmer&#039;s leaderboard spots.&lt;br /&gt;
* Removes wheat&#039;s advantage of having maxed out 100 [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune]. As the rest of the crops only have around 40-60 max fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* Players would no longer have to get lucky with pest RNG to max out personal best fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* The difficulty to obtain Jacob Contest medals for wheat contests would track with a player&#039;s fortune, rather than need some RNG from fly pests, especially for new players. This would be the same as the other crops are currently.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] will now be impossible, old scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest farming becomes insignificant, as no pests will be especially profitable. This removes a money making method that some people are grinding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 2. Balance other pests around flies ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel significantly &#039;&#039;&#039;increases crop drops for all other pests&#039;&#039;&#039;. This scenario assumes that crops dropped from pests will still count for collections, Jacob Contests, and crop milestones like they currently do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pest grinding is now a good money making method overall, way better than farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*All crops can likely have their [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] maxed out at 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding would replace normal farming for the best way to gain crop collections.&lt;br /&gt;
** Already the case for wheat and fly pests.&lt;br /&gt;
** Based on the incredible amount of arguments within farming communities that have happened due to flies being better than wheat farming, this solution would likely make a lot of farmers upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* Makes current Jacob Contest personal bests irrelevant, and the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] system would be based entirely on RNG instead of farming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 3. Don&#039;t count crops dropped from pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted for multiple things, stopping their drops from counting for &#039;&#039;&#039;at least crop collections&#039;&#039;&#039; would likely resolve a lot of problems people currently have with flies. Pest drops counting for Jacob Contests and Crop Milestones are less important, as they don&#039;t impact the long-standing system of farming being the best source for crop collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Crop collection leaderboard positions would no longer be threatened or made irrelevant by pests.&lt;br /&gt;
*This solution works no matter what the balance between different pests are.&lt;br /&gt;
**Pest drops can be balanced, but the point at which they get balanced to doesn&#039;t matter for this solution&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps the dynamic of being able to max out [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] for wheat, and other crops depending on if drops are changed.&lt;br /&gt;
**Unlike reducing crop drops from flies, this wouldn&#039;t require Hypixel to reset personal best scores.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gives players who only want to max Crop Milestones for SkyBlock XP an active way to &amp;quot;farm&amp;quot; by grinding pests, reducing their time investment.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps pests as a solid money making method.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The inconsistency of pest drops not counting for normal collections could confuse players, especially new ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 4. Reduce fly pest drops, increase the rest ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces the amount of wheat dropped from flies, below the rates for normal farming, as well as increases the drops from the rest of the pests to match this new value.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be balanced.&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be a good money making method, but not as much as normal farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might still be obtainable, but would require significant grind to get the RNG required.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding is a much more active activity than normal farming, it should make more money than farming does.&lt;br /&gt;
** One solution to this pain point is to give pests more drops, for example they could drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Cropie Cropie], [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Squash Squash], and [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Fermento Fermento].&lt;br /&gt;
** There are endless other ways for Hypixel to make pests more profitable without increasing crop drops.&lt;br /&gt;
* Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might be impossible and scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;== Farming Wisdom ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Farming Wisdom increases the XP gained from crops using the following formula:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{XP Gained} = \text{Base Crop XP} \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{Farming Wisdom}}{100}\right)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:grey;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;NOTE: If [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Derpy Derpy] is elected mayor, all farming XP is multiplied by 1.5x &#039;&#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039;&#039; calculating Farming Wisdom.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Hypixel Wiki Article:&#039;&#039;&#039; https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pests&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most efficient way to play the game shouldn’t include a boring and daunting task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to level up Farming shouldn&#039;t be to farm &amp;lt;insert best crop&amp;gt; from lvl 10 to 60, without any new interesting mechanics in between.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 4 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. For all crops besides wheat, this is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; as they drop the enchanted variant of their crop. For wheat, this value is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;1296&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; because flies drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Enchanted_Hay_Bale Enchanted Hay Bales] which don&#039;t follow the usual convention of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160 items = enchanted item&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that have a base chance of less than 5%. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fly Pest Balance Issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
The table of crop drops above has one significant discrepancy, fly pests drop significantly more crop items than the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why does this matter? ===&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted the same as normal farming in the game. This means they get counted in your normal collections, garden crop milestones, and Jacob Contest scores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally this wouldn&#039;t be an issue, but fly pests drop &#039;&#039;&#039;more wheat than max wheat farming rates&#039;&#039;&#039; because of the balance issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some top farmers, especially those who hold wheat leaderboard spots, understandably feel that their grind shouldn&#039;t be usurped by a new game mechanic that seems unintentional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why do fly pests drop so much more? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently believed to be an oversight from Hypixel. Compacted wheat items don&#039;t work the same as the rest of the crops, and most items in SkyBlock. Look at the following two tables of compacted crops, potato is used as an example that&#039;s mostly representative of the rest of the crops.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s easy to forget that normal hay bales are a crafting step in compacted wheat items, but this difference is significant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hypixel has a history of thinking tightly-tied hay bales are equivalent to double compacted other crops as well, the crafting recipe for the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Euclid%27s_Wheat_Hoe Euclid&#039;s Wheat Hoe] called for 256 tightly-tied hay bales for 2 years until the price was reduced to only 64 once the garden released. Based off of the NPC price for wheat today, 256 tightly-tied hay bales would cost &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:286654464}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;, with the reduced price of 64 only costing &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:71663616}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How could this be solved? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a matter of personal opinion, but here are some possibilities taken from the [[Elite Farmers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 1. Balance fly around the other pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces crop drops from flies&#039;&#039;&#039;. Here&#039;s an example of what new drop rates could be.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of flies dropping 1 enchanted hay bale, they can drop 18 hay bales (162 wheat items), bringing it close to the 160 of the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of the RNG drop being 1 tightly-tied hay bale, it can be a 1% chance to drop 32 enchanted hay bales, which would result in similar average drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Normal farming keeps a firm hold on the only way to increase crop collection fast, pest farming wouldn&#039;t be a threat to traditional wheat farmer&#039;s leaderboard spots.&lt;br /&gt;
* Removes wheat&#039;s advantage of having maxed out 100 [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune]. As the rest of the crops only have around 40-60 max fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* Players would no longer have to get lucky with pest RNG to max out personal best fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* The difficulty to obtain Jacob Contest medals for wheat contests would track with a player&#039;s fortune, rather than need some RNG from fly pests, especially for new players. This would be the same as the other crops are currently.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] will now be impossible, old scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest farming becomes insignificant, as no pests will be especially profitable. This removes a money making method that some people are grinding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 2. Balance other pests around flies ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel significantly &#039;&#039;&#039;increases crop drops for all other pests&#039;&#039;&#039;. This scenario assumes that crops dropped from pests will still count for collections, Jacob Contests, and crop milestones like they currently do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pest grinding is now a good money making method overall, way better than farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*All crops can likely have their [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] maxed out at 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding would replace normal farming for the best way to gain crop collections.&lt;br /&gt;
** Already the case for wheat and fly pests.&lt;br /&gt;
** Based on the incredible amount of arguments within farming communities that have happened due to flies being better than wheat farming, this solution would likely make a lot of farmers upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* Makes current Jacob Contest personal bests irrelevant, and the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] system would be based entirely on RNG instead of farming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 3. Don&#039;t count crops dropped from pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted for multiple things, stopping their drops from counting for &#039;&#039;&#039;at least crop collections&#039;&#039;&#039; would likely resolve a lot of problems people currently have with flies. Pest drops counting for Jacob Contests and Crop Milestones are less important, as they don&#039;t impact the long-standing system of farming being the best source for crop collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Crop collection leaderboard positions would no longer be threatened or made irrelevant by pests.&lt;br /&gt;
*This solution works no matter what the balance between different pests are.&lt;br /&gt;
**Pest drops can be balanced, but the point at which they get balanced to doesn&#039;t matter for this solution&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps the dynamic of being able to max out [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] for wheat, and other crops depending on if drops are changed.&lt;br /&gt;
**Unlike reducing crop drops from flies, this wouldn&#039;t require Hypixel to reset personal best scores.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gives players who only want to max Crop Milestones for SkyBlock XP an active way to &amp;quot;farm&amp;quot; by grinding pests, reducing their time investment.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps pests as a solid money making method.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The inconsistency of pest drops not counting for normal collections could confuse players, especially new ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 4. Reduce fly pest drops, increase the rest ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces the amount of wheat dropped from flies, below the rates for normal farming, as well as increases the drops from the rest of the pests to match this new value.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be balanced.&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be a good money making method, but not as much as normal farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might still be obtainable, but would require significant grind to get the RNG required.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding is a much more active activity than normal farming, it should make more money than farming does.&lt;br /&gt;
** One solution to this pain point is to give pests more drops, for example they could drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Cropie Cropie], [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Squash Squash], and [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Fermento Fermento].&lt;br /&gt;
** There are endless other ways for Hypixel to make pests more profitable without increasing crop drops.&lt;br /&gt;
* Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might be impossible and scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Hypixel Wiki Article:&#039;&#039;&#039; https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pests&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most efficient way to play the game shouldn’t include a boring and daunting task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to level up Farming shouldn&#039;t be to farm &amp;lt;insert best crop&amp;gt; from lvl 10 to 60, without any new interesting mechanics in between.&lt;br /&gt;

== Drops ==&lt;br /&gt;
You can view all pest drops on the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pests Hypixel Wiki], the main drops that affects the farming community, however, are the crop drops shown in the table below. These drops count for Jacob Contests, Crop Milestones, and normal collection.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 4 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. For all crops besides wheat, this is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; as they drop the enchanted variant of their crop. For wheat, this value is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;1296&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; because flies drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Enchanted_Hay_Bale Enchanted Hay Bales] which don&#039;t follow the usual convention of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160 items = enchanted item&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that have a base chance of less than 5%. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fly Pest Balance Issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
The table of crop drops above has one significant discrepancy, fly pests drop significantly more crop items than the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why does this matter? ===&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted the same as normal farming in the game. This means they get counted in your normal collections, garden crop milestones, and Jacob Contest scores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally this wouldn&#039;t be an issue, but fly pests drop &#039;&#039;&#039;more wheat than max wheat farming rates&#039;&#039;&#039; because of the balance issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some top farmers, especially those who hold wheat leaderboard spots, understandably feel that their grind shouldn&#039;t be usurped by a new game mechanic that seems unintentional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why do fly pests drop so much more? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently believed to be an oversight from Hypixel. Compacted wheat items don&#039;t work the same as the rest of the crops, and most items in SkyBlock. Look at the following two tables of compacted crops, potato is used as an example that&#039;s mostly representative of the rest of the crops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s easy to forget that normal hay bales are a crafting step in compacted wheat items, but this difference is significant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hypixel has a history of thinking tightly-tied hay bales are equivalent to double compacted other crops as well, the crafting recipe for the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Euclid%27s_Wheat_Hoe Euclid&#039;s Wheat Hoe] called for 256 tightly-tied hay bales for 2 years until the price was reduced to only 64 once the garden released. Based off of the NPC price for wheat today, 256 tightly-tied hay bales would cost &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:286654464}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;, with the reduced price of 64 only costing &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:71663616}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How could this be solved? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a matter of personal opinion, but here are some possibilities taken from the [[Elite Farmers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 1. Balance fly around the other pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces crop drops from flies&#039;&#039;&#039;. Here&#039;s an example of what new drop rates could be.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of flies dropping 1 enchanted hay bale, they can drop 18 hay bales (162 wheat items), bringing it close to the 160 of the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of the RNG drop being 1 tightly-tied hay bale, it can be a 1% chance to drop 32 enchanted hay bales, which would result in similar average drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Normal farming keeps a firm hold on the only way to increase crop collection fast, pest farming wouldn&#039;t be a threat to traditional wheat farmer&#039;s leaderboard spots.&lt;br /&gt;
* Removes wheat&#039;s advantage of having maxed out 100 [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune]. As the rest of the crops only have around 40-60 max fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* Players would no longer have to get lucky with pest RNG to max out personal best fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* The difficulty to obtain Jacob Contest medals for wheat contests would track with a player&#039;s fortune, rather than need some RNG from fly pests, especially for new players. This would be the same as the other crops are currently.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] will now be impossible, old scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest farming becomes insignificant, as no pests will be especially profitable. This removes a money making method that some people are grinding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 2. Balance other pests around flies ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel significantly &#039;&#039;&#039;increases crop drops for all other pests&#039;&#039;&#039;. This scenario assumes that crops dropped from pests will still count for collections, Jacob Contests, and crop milestones like they currently do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pest grinding is now a good money making method overall, way better than farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*All crops can likely have their [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] maxed out at 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding would replace normal farming for the best way to gain crop collections.&lt;br /&gt;
** Already the case for wheat and fly pests.&lt;br /&gt;
** Based on the incredible amount of arguments within farming communities that have happened due to flies being better than wheat farming, this solution would likely make a lot of farmers upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* Makes current Jacob Contest personal bests irrelevant, and the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] system would be based entirely on RNG instead of farming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 3. Don&#039;t count crops dropped from pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted for multiple things, stopping their drops from counting for &#039;&#039;&#039;at least crop collections&#039;&#039;&#039; would likely resolve a lot of problems people currently have with flies. Pest drops counting for Jacob Contests and Crop Milestones are less important, as they don&#039;t impact the long-standing system of farming being the best source for crop collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Crop collection leaderboard positions would no longer be threatened or made irrelevant by pests.&lt;br /&gt;
*This solution works no matter what the balance between different pests are.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps the dynamic of being able to max out [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] for wheat, and other crops depending on if drops are changed.&lt;br /&gt;
**Unlike reducing crop drops from flies, this wouldn&#039;t require Hypixel to reset personal best scores.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gives players who only want to max Crop Milestones for SkyBlock XP an active way to &amp;quot;farm&amp;quot; by grinding pests, reducing their time investment.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps pests as a solid money making method.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The inconsistency of pest drops not counting for normal collections could confuse players, especially new ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 4. Reduce fly pest drops, increase the rest ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces the amount of wheat dropped from flies, below the rates for normal farming, as well as increases the drops from the rest of the pests to match this new value.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be balanced.&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be a good money making method, but not as much as normal farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might still be obtainable, but would require significant grind to get the RNG required.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding is a much more active activity than normal farming, it should make more money than farming does.&lt;br /&gt;
** One solution to this pain point is to give pests more drops, for example they could drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Cropie Cropie], [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Squash Squash], and [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Fermento Fermento].&lt;br /&gt;
** There are endless other ways for Hypixel to make pests more profitable without increasing crop drops.&lt;br /&gt;
* Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might be impossible and scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Hypixel Wiki Article:&#039;&#039;&#039; https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pests&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most efficient way to play the game shouldn’t include a boring and daunting task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to level up Farming shouldn&#039;t be to farm &amp;lt;insert best crop&amp;gt; from lvl 10 to 60, without any new interesting mechanics in between.&lt;br /&gt;

== Drops ==&lt;br /&gt;
You can view all pest drops on the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pests Hypixel Wiki], the main drops that affects the farming community, however, are the crop drops shown in the table below. These drops count for Jacob Contests, Crop Milestones, and normal collection.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 4 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. For all crops besides wheat, this is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; as they drop the enchanted variant of their crop. For wheat, this value is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;1296&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; because flies drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Enchanted_Hay_Bale Enchanted Hay Bales] which don&#039;t follow the usual convention of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160 items = enchanted item&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that have a base chance of less than 5%. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fly Pest Balance Issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
The table of crop drops above has one significant discrepancy, fly pests drop significantly more crop items than the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why does this matter? ===&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted the same as normal farming in the game. This means they get counted in your normal collections, garden crop milestones, and Jacob Contest scores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally this wouldn&#039;t be an issue, but fly pests drop &#039;&#039;&#039;more wheat than max wheat farming rates&#039;&#039;&#039; because of the balance issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some top farmers, especially those who hold wheat leaderboard spots, understandably feel that their grind shouldn&#039;t be usurped by a new game mechanic that seems unintentional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why do fly pests drop so much more? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently believed to be an oversight from Hypixel. Compacted wheat items don&#039;t work the same as the rest of the crops, and most items in SkyBlock. Look at the following two tables of compacted crops, potato is used as an example that&#039;s mostly representative of the rest of the crops.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s easy to forget that normal hay bales are a crafting step in compacted wheat items, but this difference is significant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hypixel has a history of thinking tightly-tied hay bales are equivalent to double compacted other crops as well, the crafting recipe for the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Euclid%27s_Wheat_Hoe Euclid&#039;s Wheat Hoe] called for 256 tightly-tied hay bales for 2 years until the price was reduced to only 64 once the garden released. Based off of the NPC price for wheat today, 256 tightly-tied hay bales would cost &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:286654464}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;, with the reduced price of 64 only costing &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:71663616}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How could this be solved? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a matter of personal opinion, but here are some possibilities taken from the [[Elite Farmers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 1. Balance fly around the other pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces crop drops from flies&#039;&#039;&#039;. Here&#039;s an example of what new drop rates could be.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of flies dropping 1 enchanted hay bale, they can drop 18 hay bales (162 wheat items), bringing it close to the 160 of the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of the RNG drop being 1 tightly-tied hay bale, it can be a 1% chance to drop 32 enchanted hay bales, which would result in similar average drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Normal farming keeps a firm hold on the only way to increase crop collection fast, pest farming wouldn&#039;t be a threat to traditional wheat farmer&#039;s leaderboard spots.&lt;br /&gt;
* Removes wheat&#039;s advantage of having maxed out 100 [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune]. As the rest of the crops only have around 40-60 max fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* Players would no longer have to get lucky with pest RNG to max out personal best fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* The difficulty to obtain Jacob Contest medals for wheat contests would track with a player&#039;s fortune, rather than need some RNG from fly pests, especially for new players. This would be the same as the other crops are currently.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] will now be impossible, old scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest farming becomes insignificant, as no pests will be especially profitable. This removes a money making method that some people are grinding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 2. Balance other pests around flies ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel significantly &#039;&#039;&#039;increases crop drops for all other pests&#039;&#039;&#039;. This scenario assumes that crops dropped from pests will still count for collections, Jacob Contests, and crop milestones like they currently do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pest grinding is now a good money making method overall, way better than farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*All crops can likely have their [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] maxed out at 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding would replace normal farming for the best way to gain crop collections.&lt;br /&gt;
** Already the case for wheat and fly pests.&lt;br /&gt;
** Based on the incredible amount of arguments within farming communities that have happened due to flies being better than wheat farming, this solution would likely make a lot of farmers upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* Makes current Jacob Contest personal bests irrelevant, and the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] system would be based entirely on RNG instead of farming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 3. Don&#039;t count crops dropped from pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted for multiple things, stopping their drops from counting for &#039;&#039;&#039;at least crop collections&#039;&#039;&#039; would likely resolve a lot of problems people currently have with flies. Pest drops counting for Jacob Contests and Crop Milestones are less important, as they don&#039;t impact the long-standing system of farming being the best source for crop collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Crop collection leaderboard positions would no longer be threatened or made irrelevant by pests.&lt;br /&gt;
*This solution works no matter what the balance between different pests are.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps the dynamic of being able to max out [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] for wheat, and other crops depending on if drops are changed.&lt;br /&gt;
**Unlike reducing crop drops from flies, this wouldn&#039;t require Hypixel to reset personal best scores.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gives players who only want to max Crop Milestones for SkyBlock XP an active way to &amp;quot;farm&amp;quot; by grinding pests, reducing their time investment.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps pests as a solid money making method.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The inconsistency of pest drops not counting for normal collections could confuse players, especially new ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 4. Reduce fly pest drops, increase the rest ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces the amount of wheat dropped from flies, below the rates for normal farming, as well as increases the drops from the rest of the pests to match this new value.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be balanced.&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be a good money making method, but not as much as normal farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might still be obtainable, but would require significant grind to get the RNG required.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding is a much more active activity than normal farming, it should make more money than farming does.&lt;br /&gt;
** One solution to this pain point is to give pests more drops, for example they could drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Cropie Cropie], [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Squash Squash], and [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Fermento Fermento].&lt;br /&gt;
** There are endless other ways for Hypixel to make pests more profitable without increasing crop drops.&lt;br /&gt;
* Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might be impossible and scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most efficient way to play the game shouldn’t include a boring and daunting task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to level up Farming shouldn&#039;t be to farm &amp;lt;insert best crop&amp;gt; from lvl 10 to 60, without any new interesting mechanics in between.&lt;br /&gt;

== Drops ==&lt;br /&gt;
You can view all pest drops on the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pests Hypixel Wiki], the main drops that affects the farming community, however, are the crop drops shown in the table below. These drops count for Jacob Contests, Crop Milestones, and normal collection.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 4 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. For all crops besides wheat, this is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; as they drop the enchanted variant of their crop. For wheat, this value is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;1296&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; because flies drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Enchanted_Hay_Bale Enchanted Hay Bales] which don&#039;t follow the usual convention of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160 items = enchanted item&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that have a base chance of less than 5%. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fly Pest Balance Issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
The table of crop drops above has one significant discrepancy, fly pests drop significantly more crop items than the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why does this matter? ===&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted the same as normal farming in the game. This means they get counted in your normal collections, garden crop milestones, and Jacob Contest scores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Normally this wouldn&#039;t be an issue, but fly pests drop &#039;&#039;&#039;more wheat than max wheat farming rates&#039;&#039;&#039; because of the balance issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some top farmers, especially those who hold wheat leaderboard spots, understandably feel that their grind shouldn&#039;t be usurped by a new game mechanic that seems unintentional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why do fly pests drop so much more? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently believed to be an oversight from Hypixel. Compacted wheat items don&#039;t work the same as the rest of the crops, and most items in SkyBlock. Look at the following two tables of compacted crops, potato is used as an example that&#039;s mostly representative of the rest of the crops.&lt;br /&gt;

|{{formatnum:144}} Enchanted Hay Bale&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:186624}}&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s easy to forget that normal hay bales are a crafting step in compacted wheat items, but this difference is significant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hypixel has a history of thinking tightly-tied hay bales are equivalent to double compacted other crops as well, the crafting recipe for the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Euclid%27s_Wheat_Hoe Euclid&#039;s Wheat Hoe] called for 256 tightly-tied hay bales for 2 years until the price was reduced to only 64 once the garden released. Based off of the NPC price for wheat today, 256 tightly-tied hay bales would cost &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:286654464}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;, with the reduced price of 64 only costing &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:71663616}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How could this be solved? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a matter of personal opinion, but here are some possibilities taken from the [[Elite Farmers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 1. Balance fly around the other pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces crop drops from flies&#039;&#039;&#039;. Here&#039;s an example of what new drop rates could be.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of flies dropping 1 enchanted hay bale, they can drop 18 hay bales (162 wheat items), bringing it close to the 160 of the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of the RNG drop being 1 tightly-tied hay bale, it can be a 1% chance to drop 32 enchanted hay bales, which would result in similar average drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Normal farming keeps a firm hold on the only way to increase crop collection fast, pest farming wouldn&#039;t be a threat to traditional wheat farmer&#039;s leaderboard spots.&lt;br /&gt;
* Removes wheat&#039;s advantage of having maxed out 100 [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune]. As the rest of the crops only have around 40-60 max fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* Players would no longer have to get lucky with pest RNG to max out personal best fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* The difficulty to obtain Jacob Contest medals for wheat contests would track with a player&#039;s fortune, rather than need some RNG from fly pests, especially for new players. This would be the same as the other crops are currently.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] will now be impossible, old scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest farming becomes insignificant, as no pests will be especially profitable. This removes a money making method that some people are grinding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 2. Balance other pests around flies ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel significantly &#039;&#039;&#039;increases crop drops for all other pests&#039;&#039;&#039;. This scenario assumes that crops dropped from pests will still count for collections, Jacob Contests, and crop milestones like they currently do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pest grinding is now a good money making method overall, way better than farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*All crops can likely have their [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] maxed out at 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding would replace normal farming for the best way to gain crop collections.&lt;br /&gt;
** Already the case for wheat and fly pests.&lt;br /&gt;
** Based on the incredible amount of arguments within farming communities that have happened due to flies being better than wheat farming, this solution would likely make a lot of farmers upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* Makes current Jacob Contest personal bests irrelevant, and the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] system would be based entirely on RNG instead of farming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 3. Don&#039;t count crops dropped from pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted for multiple things, stopping their drops from counting for &#039;&#039;&#039;at least crop collections&#039;&#039;&#039; would likely resolve a lot of problems people currently have with flies. Pest drops counting for Jacob Contests and Crop Milestones are less important, as they don&#039;t impact the long-standing system of farming being the best source for crop collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests could drop as many crops as Hypixel decides is fair, and crop leaderboard farmers wouldn&#039;t be threatened by pest grinders catching up to them.&lt;br /&gt;
*This solution works no matter what the balance between different pests are.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps the dynamic of being able to max out [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] for wheat, and other crops depending on if drops are changed.&lt;br /&gt;
**Unlike reducing crop drops from flies, this wouldn&#039;t require Hypixel to reset personal best scores.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gives players who only want to max Crop Milestones for SkyBlock XP an active way to &amp;quot;farm&amp;quot; by grinding pests, reducing their time investment.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps pests as a solid money making method.&lt;br /&gt;
*Crop collection leaderboard positions would no longer be threatened or made irrelevant by pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The inconsistency of pest drops not counting for normal collections could confuse players, especially new ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 4. Reduce fly pest drops, increase the rest ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces the amount of wheat dropped from flies, below the rates for normal farming, as well as increases the drops from the rest of the pests to match this new value.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be balanced.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 4 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. For all crops besides wheat, this is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; as they drop the enchanted variant of their crop. For wheat, this value is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;1296&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; because flies drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Enchanted_Hay_Bale Enchanted Hay Bales] which don&#039;t follow the usual convention of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160 items = enchanted item&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that have a base chance of less than 5%. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fly Pest Controversy ==&lt;br /&gt;
The table of crop drops above has one significant discrepancy, fly pests drop significantly more crop items than the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why do fly pests drop so much more? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently believed to be an oversight from Hypixel. Compacted wheat items don&#039;t work the same as the rest of the crops, and most items in SkyBlock. Look at the following two tables of compacted crops, potato is used as an example that&#039;s mostly representative of the rest of the crops.&lt;br /&gt;

|{{formatnum:144}} Enchanted Hay Bale&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:186624}}&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s easy to forget that normal hay bales are a crafting step in compacted wheat items, but this difference is significant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hypixel has a history of thinking tightly-tied hay bales are equivalent to double compacted other crops as well, the crafting recipe for the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Euclid%27s_Wheat_Hoe Euclid&#039;s Wheat Hoe] called for 256 tightly-tied hay bales for 2 years until the price was reduced to only 64 once the garden released. Based off of the NPC price for wheat today, 256 tightly-tied hay bales would cost &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:286654464}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;, with the reduced price of 64 only costing &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:71663616}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How could this be solved? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a matter of personal opinion, but here are some possibilities taken from the [[Elite Farmers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 1. Balance fly around the other pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces crop drops from flies&#039;&#039;&#039;. Here&#039;s an example of what new drop rates could be.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of flies dropping 1 enchanted hay bale, they can drop 18 hay bales (162 wheat items), bringing it close to the 160 of the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of the RNG drop being 1 tightly-tied hay bale, it can be a 1% chance to drop 32 enchanted hay bales, which would result in similar average drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Normal farming keeps a firm hold on the only way to increase crop collection fast, pest farming wouldn&#039;t be a threat to traditional wheat farmer&#039;s leaderboard spots.&lt;br /&gt;
* Removes wheat&#039;s advantage of having maxed out 100 [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune]. As the rest of the crops only have around 40-60 max fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* Players would no longer have to get lucky with pest RNG to max out personal best fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* The difficulty to obtain Jacob Contest medals for wheat contests would track with a player&#039;s fortune, rather than need some RNG from fly pests, especially for new players. This would be the same as the other crops are currently.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] will now be impossible, old scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest farming becomes insignificant, as no pests will be especially profitable. This removes a money making method that some people are grinding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 2. Balance other pests around flies ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel significantly &#039;&#039;&#039;increases crop drops for all other pests&#039;&#039;&#039;. This scenario assumes that crops dropped from pests will still count for collections, Jacob Contests, and crop milestones like they currently do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pest grinding is now a good money making method overall, way better than farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*All crops can likely have their [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] maxed out at 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding would replace normal farming for the best way to gain crop collections.&lt;br /&gt;
** Already the case for wheat and fly pests.&lt;br /&gt;
** Based on the incredible amount of arguments within farming communities that have happened due to flies being better than wheat farming, this solution would likely make a lot of farmers upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* Makes current Jacob Contest personal bests irrelevant, and the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] system would be based entirely on RNG instead of farming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 3. Don&#039;t count crops dropped from pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted for multiple things, stopping their drops from counting for &#039;&#039;&#039;at least crop collections&#039;&#039;&#039; would likely resolve a lot of problems people currently have with flies. Pest drops counting for Jacob Contests and Crop Milestones are less important, as they don&#039;t impact the long-standing system of farming being the best source for crop collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests could drop as many crops as Hypixel decides is fair, and crop leaderboard farmers wouldn&#039;t be threatened by pest grinders catching up to them.&lt;br /&gt;
*This solution works no matter what the balance between different pests are.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps the dynamic of being able to max out [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] for wheat, and other crops depending on if drops are changed.&lt;br /&gt;
**Unlike reducing crop drops from flies, this wouldn&#039;t require Hypixel to reset personal best scores.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gives players who only want to max Crop Milestones for SkyBlock XP an active way to &amp;quot;farm&amp;quot; by grinding pests, reducing their time investment.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps pests as a solid money making method.&lt;br /&gt;
*Crop collection leaderboard positions would no longer be threatened or made irrelevant by pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The inconsistency of pest drops not counting for normal collections could confuse players, especially new ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 4. Reduce fly pest drops, increase the rest ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces the amount of wheat dropped from flies, below the rates for normal farming, as well as increases the drops from the rest of the pests to match this new value.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be balanced.&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be a good money making method, but not as much as normal farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might still be obtainable, but would require significant grind to get the RNG required.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding is a much more active activity than normal farming, it should make more money than farming does.&lt;br /&gt;
** One solution to this pain point is to give pests more drops, for example they could drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Cropie Cropie], [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Squash Squash], and [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Fermento Fermento].&lt;br /&gt;
** There are endless other ways for Hypixel to make pests more profitable without increasing crop drops.&lt;br /&gt;
* Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might be impossible and scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 3 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. For all crops besides wheat, this is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; as they drop the enchanted variant of their crop. For wheat, this value is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;1296&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; because flies drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Enchanted_Hay_Bale Enchanted Hay Bales] which don&#039;t follow the usual convention of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160 items = enchanted item&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that have a base chance of less than 5%. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fly Pest Controversy ==&lt;br /&gt;
The table of crop drops above has one significant discrepancy, fly pests drop significantly more crop items than the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why do fly pests drop so much more? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently believed to be an oversight from Hypixel. Compacted wheat items don&#039;t work the same as the rest of the crops, and most items in SkyBlock. Look at the following two tables of compacted crops, potato is used as an example that&#039;s mostly representative of the rest of the crops.&lt;br /&gt;

|{{formatnum:144}} Enchanted Hay Bale&lt;br /&gt;
|{{formatnum:186624}}&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s easy to forget that normal hay bales are a crafting step in compacted wheat items, but this difference is significant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hypixel has a history of thinking tightly-tied hay bales are equivalent to double compacted other crops as well, the crafting recipe for the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Euclid%27s_Wheat_Hoe Euclid&#039;s Wheat Hoe] called for 64 tightly-tied hay bales for 2 years until the price was reduced to only 16 once the garden released. Based off of the NPC price for wheat today, 64 tightly-tied hay bales would cost &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:71663616}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;, with the reduced price of 16 only costing &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:17915904}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How could this be solved? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a matter of personal opinion, but here are some possibilities taken from the [[Elite Farmers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 1. Balance fly around the other pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces crop drops from flies&#039;&#039;&#039;. Here&#039;s an example of what new drop rates could be.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of flies dropping 1 enchanted hay bale, they can drop 18 hay bales (162 wheat items), bringing it close to the 160 of the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of the RNG drop being 1 tightly-tied hay bale, it can be a 1% chance to drop 32 enchanted hay bales, which would result in similar average drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Normal farming keeps a firm hold on the only way to increase crop collection fast, pest farming wouldn&#039;t be a threat to traditional wheat farmer&#039;s leaderboard spots.&lt;br /&gt;
* Removes wheat&#039;s advantage of having maxed out 100 [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune]. As the rest of the crops only have around 40-60 max fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* Players would no longer have to get lucky with pest RNG to max out personal best fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* The difficulty to obtain Jacob Contest medals for wheat contests would track with a player&#039;s fortune, rather than need some RNG from fly pests, especially for new players. This would be the same as the other crops are currently.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] will now be impossible, old scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest farming becomes insignificant, as no pests will be especially profitable. This removes a money making method that some people are grinding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 2. Balance other pests around flies ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel significantly &#039;&#039;&#039;increases crop drops for all other pests&#039;&#039;&#039;. This scenario assumes that crops dropped from pests will still count for collections, Jacob Contests, and crop milestones like they currently do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pest grinding is now a good money making method overall, way better than farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*All crops can likely have their [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] maxed out at 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding would replace normal farming for the best way to gain crop collections.&lt;br /&gt;
** Already the case for wheat and fly pests.&lt;br /&gt;
** Based on the incredible amount of arguments within farming communities that have happened due to flies being better than wheat farming, this solution would likely make a lot of farmers upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* Makes current Jacob Contest personal bests irrelevant, and the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] system would be based entirely on RNG instead of farming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 3. Don&#039;t count crops dropped from pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted for multiple things, stopping their drops from counting for &#039;&#039;&#039;at least crop collections&#039;&#039;&#039; would likely resolve a lot of problems people currently have with flies. Pest drops counting for Jacob Contests and Crop Milestones are less important, as they don&#039;t impact the long-standing system of farming being the best source for crop collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests could drop as many crops as Hypixel decides is fair, and crop leaderboard farmers wouldn&#039;t be threatened by pest grinders catching up to them.&lt;br /&gt;
*This solution works no matter what the balance between different pests are.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps the dynamic of being able to max out [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] for wheat, and other crops depending on if drops are changed.&lt;br /&gt;
**Unlike reducing crop drops from flies, this wouldn&#039;t require Hypixel to reset personal best scores.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gives players who only want to max Crop Milestones for SkyBlock XP an active way to &amp;quot;farm&amp;quot; by grinding pests, reducing their time investment.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps pests as a solid money making method.&lt;br /&gt;
*Crop collection leaderboard positions would no longer be threatened or made irrelevant by pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* The inconsistency of pest drops not counting for normal collections could confuse players, especially new ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 4. Reduce fly pest drops, increase the rest ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces the amount of wheat dropped from flies, below the rates for normal farming, as well as increases the drops from the rest of the pests to match this new value.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be balanced.&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be a good money making method, but not as much as normal farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might still be obtainable, but would require significant grind to get the RNG required.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding is a much more active activity than normal farming, it should make more money than farming does.&lt;br /&gt;
** One solution to this pain point is to give pests more drops, for example they could drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Cropie Cropie], [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Squash Squash], and [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Fermento Fermento].&lt;br /&gt;
** There are endless other ways for Hypixel to make pests more profitable without increasing crop drops.&lt;br /&gt;
* Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might be impossible and scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The most efficient way to play the game shouldn’t include a boring and daunting task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to level up Farming shouldn&#039;t be to farm &amp;lt;insert best crop&amp;gt; from lvl 10 to 60, without any new interesting mechanics in between.&lt;br /&gt;

== Drops ==&lt;br /&gt;
You can view all pest drops on the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pests Hypixel Wiki], the main drops that affects the farming community, however, are the crop drops shown in the table below. These drops count for Jacob Contests, Crop Milestones, and normal collection.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 3 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. For all crops besides wheat, this is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; as they drop the enchanted variant of their crop. For wheat, this value is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;1296&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; because flies drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Enchanted_Hay_Bale Enchanted Hay Bales] which don&#039;t follow the usual convention of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160 items = enchanted item&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== RNG Drops Calculation ===&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that have a base chance of less than 5%. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Farming Weight ==&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fly Pest Controversy ==&lt;br /&gt;
The table of crop drops above has one significant discrepancy, fly pests drop significantly more crop items than the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Why do fly pests drop so much more? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently believed to be an oversight from Hypixel. Compacted wheat items don&#039;t work the same as the rest of the crops, and most items in SkyBlock. Look at the following two tables of compacted crops, potato is used as an example that&#039;s mostly representative of the rest of the crops.&lt;br /&gt;

|{{formatnum:186624}}&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s easy to forget that normal hay bales are a crafting step in compacted wheat items, but this difference is significant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hypixel has a history of thinking tightly-tied hay bales are equivalent to double compacted other crops as well, the crafting recipe for the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Euclid%27s_Wheat_Hoe Euclid&#039;s Wheat Hoe] called for 64 tightly-tied hay bales for 2 years until the price was reduced to only 16 once the garden released. Based off of the NPC price for wheat today, 64 tightly-tied hay bales would cost &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:71663616}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;, with the reduced price of 16 only costing &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:17915904}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How could this be solved? ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a matter of personal opinion, but here are some possibilities taken from the [[Elite Farmers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 1. Balance fly around the other pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces crop drops from flies&#039;&#039;&#039;. Here&#039;s an example of what new drop rates could be.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of flies dropping 1 enchanted hay bale, they can drop 18 hay bales (162 wheat items), bringing it close to the 160 of the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead of the RNG drop being 1 tightly-tied hay bale, it can be a 1% chance to drop 32 enchanted hay bales, which would result in similar average drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== &#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039; =====&lt;br /&gt;
* Normal farming keeps a firm hold on the only way to increase crop collection fast, pest farming wouldn&#039;t be a threat to traditional wheat farmer&#039;s leaderboard spots.&lt;br /&gt;
* Removes wheat&#039;s advantage of having maxed out 100 [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune]. As the rest of the crops only have around 40-60 max fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* Players would no longer have to get lucky with pest RNG to max out personal best fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
* The difficulty to obtain Jacob Contest medals for wheat contests would track with a player&#039;s fortune, rather than need some RNG from fly pests, especially for new players. This would be the same as the other crops are currently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== &#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments Against&#039;&#039;&#039; =====&lt;br /&gt;
* Wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] will now be impossible, old scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest farming becomes insignificant, as no pests will be especially profitable. This removes a money making method that some people are grinding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 2. Balance other pests around flies ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel significantly &#039;&#039;&#039;increases crop drops for all other pests&#039;&#039;&#039;. This scenario assumes that crops dropped from pests will still count for collections, Jacob Contests, and crop milestones like they currently do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== &#039;&#039;&#039;Potential Pros&#039;&#039;&#039; =====&lt;br /&gt;
*Pest grinding is now a good money making method overall, way better than farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*All crops can likely have their [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] maxed out at 100.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Potential Cons =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding would replace normal farming for the best way to gain crop collections.&lt;br /&gt;
** Already the case for wheat and fly pests.&lt;br /&gt;
** Based on the incredible amount of arguments within farming communities that have happened due to flies being better than wheat farming, this solution would likely make a lot of farmers upset.&lt;br /&gt;
* Makes current Jacob Contest personal bests irrelevant, and the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] system would be based entirely on RNG instead of farming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 3. Don&#039;t count crops dropped from pests ====&lt;br /&gt;
Pest drops are counted for multiple things, stopping their drops from counting for &#039;&#039;&#039;at least crop collections&#039;&#039;&#039; would likely resolve a lot of problems people currently have with flies. Pest drops counting for Jacob Contests and Crop Milestones are less important, as they don&#039;t impact the long-standing system of farming being the best source for crop collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== &#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039; =====&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests could drop as many crops as Hypixel decides is fair, and crop leaderboard farmers wouldn&#039;t be threatened by pest grinders catching up to them.&lt;br /&gt;
*This solution works no matter what the balance between different pests are.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps the dynamic of being able to max out [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] for wheat, and other crops depending on if drops are changed.&lt;br /&gt;
**Unlike reducing crop drops from flies, this wouldn&#039;t require Hypixel to reset personal best scores.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gives players who only want to max Crop Milestones for SkyBlock XP an active way to &amp;quot;farm&amp;quot; by grinding pests, reducing their time investment.&lt;br /&gt;
*Keeps pests as a solid money making method.&lt;br /&gt;
*Crop collection leaderboard positions would no longer be threatened or made irrelevant by pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Arguments Against =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The inconsistency of pest drops not counting for normal collections could confuse players, especially new ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Solution 4. Reduce fly pest drops, increase the rest ====&lt;br /&gt;
This would mean Hypixel &#039;&#039;&#039;reduces the amount of wheat dropped from flies, below the rates for normal farming, as well as increases the drops from the rest of the pests to match this new value.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== &#039;&#039;&#039;Arguments For&#039;&#039;&#039; =====&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be balanced.&lt;br /&gt;
*Pests would be a good money making method, but not as much as normal farming.&lt;br /&gt;
*Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might still be obtainable, but would require significant grind to get the RNG required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Arguments Against =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Pest grinding is a much more active activity than normal farming, it should make more money than farming does.&lt;br /&gt;
** One solution to this pain point is to give pests more drops, for example they could drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Cropie Cropie], [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Squash Squash], and [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Fermento Fermento].&lt;br /&gt;
** There are endless other ways for Hypixel to make pests more profitable without increasing crop drops.&lt;br /&gt;
* Depending on how much flies are reduced, wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] might be impossible and scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Hypixel Wiki Article:&#039;&#039;&#039; https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pests&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most efficient way to play the game shouldn’t include a boring and daunting task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to level up Farming shouldn&#039;t be to farm &amp;lt;insert best crop&amp;gt; from lvl 10 to 60, without any new interesting mechanics in between.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Drops ===&lt;br /&gt;
You can view all pest drops on the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Pests Hypixel Wiki], the main drops that affects the farming community, however, are the crop drops shown in the table below. These drops count for Jacob Contests, Crop Milestones, and normal collection.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 3 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. For all crops besides wheat, this is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; as they drop the enchanted variant of their crop. For wheat, this value is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;1296&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; because flies drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Enchanted_Hay_Bale Enchanted Hay Bales] which don&#039;t follow the usual convention of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160 items = enchanted item&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
==== RNG Drops Calculation ====&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that have a base chance of less than 5%. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Farming Weight ===&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fly Pest Controversy ===&lt;br /&gt;
The table of crop drops above has one significant discrepancy, fly pests drop significantly more crop items than the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Why do fly pests drop so much more? ====&lt;br /&gt;
This is currently believed to be an oversight from Hypixel. Compacted wheat items don&#039;t work the same as the rest of the crops, and most items in SkyBlock. Look at the following two tables of compacted crops, potato is used as an example that&#039;s mostly representative of the rest of the crops.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s easy to forget that normal hay bales are a crafting step in compacted wheat items, but this difference is significant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hypixel has a history of thinking tightly-tied hay bales are equivalent to double compacted other crops as well, the crafting recipe for the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Euclid%27s_Wheat_Hoe Euclid&#039;s Wheat Hoe] called for 64 tightly-tied hay bales for 2 years until the price was reduced to only 16 once the garden released. Based off of the NPC price for wheat today, 64 tightly-tied hay bales would cost &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:71663616}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;, with the reduced price of 16 only costing &#039;&#039;&#039;{{formatnum:17915904}} coins&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== How can they fix this? ====&lt;br /&gt;
This is a matter of personal opinion, but here are some possibilities&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Balance fly around the other pests&lt;br /&gt;
#* This would mean Hypixel reduces crop drops from flies.&lt;br /&gt;
#* Instead of flies dropping 1 enchanted hay bale, they can drop 18 hay bales (162 wheat items), bringing it close to the 160 of the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
#* Instead of the RNG drop being 1 tightly-tied hay bale, it can be a 1% chance to drop 32 enchanted hay bales, which would result in similar average drops.&lt;br /&gt;
#* &#039;&#039;&#039;Pros&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
#** Normal farming keeps a firm hold on the only way to increase crop collection fast, pest farming wouldn&#039;t be a threat to traditional wheat farmer&#039;s leaderboard spots.&lt;br /&gt;
#** Removes wheat&#039;s advantage of having maxed out 100 [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune]. As the rest of the crops only have around 40-60 max fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
#** Players would no longer have to get lucky with pest RNG to max out personal best fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
#* &#039;&#039;&#039;Cons&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
#** Wheat max [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Anita#Personal_Bests personal best fortune] will now be impossible, old scores would have to be reset by Hypixel.&lt;br /&gt;
#** Pest farming becomes insignificant, as no pests will be especially profitable. This removes a money making method that some people are grinding.&lt;br /&gt;
# Balance other pests around flies&lt;br /&gt;
#* This would mean Hypixel significantly increases crop drops for all other pests.&lt;br /&gt;
#* &#039;&#039;&#039;Pros&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Pests are a type of mob that spawn on the garden that reduce a player&#039;s farming fortune as they accumulate. Due to the fortune reduction, and the fact that vacuuming pests requires a player to stop farming while doing so, it&#039;s widely accepted that the introduction of pests was primarily done to combat cheaters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A valid secondary motivation may be that Hypixel intends to make farming a more active skill, as the ability for players to farm while actively doing other things has been criticized by both players and Hypixel Admins.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Normal Crop Drops Calculation ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The normal crop drops are calculated with the following formula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Beady_Eyes Beady Reforge] is used, the formula below is used instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Crops In Item} * \left ( 3 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune}}{100} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. For all crops besides Wheat, this is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; as they drop the enchanted variant of their crop. For Wheat, this value is &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;1296&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; because flies drop [https://wiki.hypixel.net/Enchanted_Hay_Bale Enchanted Hay Bales] which don&#039;t follow the usual convention of &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;160 items = enchanted item&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
==== RNG Drops Calculation ====&lt;br /&gt;
This formula applies to all pest drops that have a base chance of less than 5%. Pet Luck as shown below is only included for pet drops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039;&#039; Slug pests have an equal chance to drop both types of Enchanted Mushroom Block, so this chance should be rolled twice when calculating drops for slugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{RNG Drop Chance} = \text{Base Drop Chance} * \left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Universal Fortune} + \text{Crop Fortune} + \text{Pet Luck}}{600} \right )&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can get the expected crops dropped from RNG for an amount of pests killed by plugging the resulting &#039;&#039;&#039;RNG Crop Chance&#039;&#039;&#039; into the following calculation. This is a perfect average, given enough pests killed the total drops are expected to equal the result of this, but it won&#039;t be perfect on smaller sample sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text{Crops} = \text{Pests Killed} * \text{RNG Drop Chance} * \text{Crops In Item}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Crops In Item&#039;&#039;&#039; - The amount of crop items used to craft the item that&#039;s being dropped. Reference the table above for these numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Farming Weight ===&lt;br /&gt;
The intention of farming weight is to balance farming weight gain between all crops. Pest drops can&#039;t be accounted for at max rates, due to bonus pest chance and a player&#039;s current farming fortune both being factors in crop drops. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the farming weight calculation does its best to subtract crops gained from pests before applying the rest of the calculation. [https://elitebot.dev/info#Pests Read more here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fly Pest Controversy ===&lt;br /&gt;
The table of crop drops above has one significant discrepancy, fly pests drop significantly more crop items than the rest of the pests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Why do fly pests drop so much more? ====&lt;br /&gt;
