It's been a while since my last Post, but I am still here reading and playing games. I have read the oneup-cartel posts from the Farming Tales operator 
What is Farming Tales?
Farming Tales is a NFT-based farming simulator on the WAX blockchain that uses Unity as a 3D graphic engine and developed. You can visit your farm with and check out the great ingame graphic. In the latest update they have added the 3D Animals which are now visible in their housings.
There are different buildings and animals what you can purchase in the ingame market for the game currency $SEST or on the secondary market like AtomicHub or Neftyblocks.
How to get started?
First of all you need a WAX wallet where you can store all your NFT and tokens for the WAX Blockchain. You can sign up for your Wallet here.
With you WAX Wallet login into Farming Tales Game. and visit your farm in 3D.
To start earning and playing you have to buy NFT. I would suggest to start with animals first. You need at least 2 NFT (Housing and animal) with following combinations:
- Hen + Coop
- Goose + Shelter
- Goat + Stable
- Cow + Stable
- Sheep + Stable
- Pig + Stable
You can purchase these for WAX from other players or you buy SEST token on the Alcor Exchange and craft purchase these in the ingame market.
There are always some price fluctuations and sometimes one option is cheaper than the other. You can compare the 2 prices on this website to get the cheapest prices: Website
Rarity of Buildings and Animals
There are 4 different rarities for animals and buildings:
- Common
- Rare
- Epic
- Legendary
As in other games the market prices are higher the higher the rarity is. But what do you get for the better rarity?
Buildings
Higher quality Buildings have more space and you can place more animals inside the stable / shelter / coop. This will become important if you run out of space on your farm, but for the beginning your should purchase the cheapest building based on price per animal spot.
There are 2 special buildings the Silo and the Water Tower. These are for storage of Food for Animals and Water for plants.
Every Time you harvest an animal or a plant you have to spend a certain amount of food or water. After some time you have to refill your storage and this will cost 5 CBIT for Silo and 50 CBIT for Water. CBIT is the 2nd token for Farming Tales and can earned by staking SEST.
The cost for 1 refill is always the same, but depending on the rarity of the building your maximum storage is increased and this reduces the cost per food or water.
Animals
The rarity of animals reduces the amounts of harvests. The animal type have fixed food costs per Harvest. The higher rarity animals multiplies the harvested items and are more convenient because you don't have to harvest them so often. In addition to this with less amounts of harvests they reduce the amount of food per SEST and become more profitable.
Important to know is that you don't have any disadvantages if you don't harvest your animals for some hours or days! You miss out on earnings but you have no cost for food and your animals won't die of starvation.
The table below is from the official Farming Tales Game Book. It shows the different animals with rarity. Products are the produced items and Price the current SEST value what you earn by harvesting. Time is the time between Harvests and QTY is the multiplier. Food shows the amount of food units per harvests (no multiplier).
This means you can harvest a Common Hen every 1 hour and will gain 5 SEST and it costs 5 Food units. A Rare Hen can be harvested every 2h10m and earn you 10 SEST and costs 5 food units.
Staking
You can stake the earned or purchased SEST Tokens in your ingame wallet to earn CBIT which are needed to refill your Silo or Water Tank. Deposit SEST or CBIT from your WAX Wallet into the game is free, but for withdrawal you have to pay 5% fee for SEST and 2% for CBIT. Depending on your current staking percentage of the total staking pool you will earn daily CBIT rewards.
I have at the moment 30448 SEST staked and earn 8.38 CBIT per day. With this I can fill up 1 Silo per day "for free".
My Plans for Farming Tales
I have made some calculations about profits and future price expectations for the New Waxchester update. With this update they will introduce the items like eggs, milk, meat and you won't sell them like now for SEST immediately. Instead you can choose to visit the town and produce goods to sell at higher SEST price or use for other items.
I am looking forward to this big update and I will make a post soon where I show my farm investments, calculations and returns.
Below you can see a picture of the coming windmill in New Waxchester what can produce flour and cornflakes of wheat and corn.
This is a leaked picture of the barn menu where you can store your harvested items
