Compost introduced with the original Farming skill release.
Market Strategy
- Trading Notes
- Demand is driven by farm runs and bulk Hespori prep
- Often easier to buy than to make below mid-game
- Compost potion converts stockpiles into supercompost for a profit when potion prices dip
- Bulk Earth impling hunts can flood supply during events
Trading Tips
Buy limit of 2,000 every 4 hours
Compare against supercompost: 5 buckets + 1 compost potion = 15 supercompost
Stockpile during XP-event weeks when farm-run demand spikes
