Question Apples and Ores(Yes I mean Ores)

Maybe someone has done this before maybe not. I would just like an explaination of why.

All estimates are done with a Gold Axe and Gold Hammer.
Estimates are based on actual experince and counting.
Times may differ depending on your amount of personal lag.

36 Diamonds - Cost 75g - Time : About 120 Min
Potenial Profit
360g When making Gold Graalet
185g When making Blue Graalet

24 Gold - Cost 70g - Time : About 120 Min
Potenial Profit
240g When making Gold Graalet
240g When making Red Graalet
120g When making Blue Graalet

12 Durby - Cost 60g - Time : About 60min
240g When Making Gold Graalet
120g When Making Red Graalet

The costs verses production and time will vary.

Time to produce everything involved with a Gold Graalat
takes about 20 minutes and then producing the Gold Graalat takes about 3 minutes.

Total Time and Production Costs for 240g
Time : 9:03
Product Costs : 205
Profit : 35g and Twelve Diamonds

Because the Watering Can and the Shovel are one time investments they are
not included in this cost verses production analysis.

Apple Seeds 15g for 5
12*5=60
And Because it takes 4 apples we will say 15 pies
Grand Total : 120g
Profit : 105g

Time Consideration

Time 45 minutes for growing the apples.
3 minutes for each pie.
For an Hour and a halfs work you make a grand total of
105g.

I would like to know why something that is no where near as labor intensive make such a greater profit. Mining and producing Graalet should be the highest paying job in the Graal 2001. Just by time standards.

So I would like the powers that be, explain why it was designed like this.

A Gold Graalet should be worth 35 to 50 Graalet to produce or there should be a axe that doesn't break. I am not complaining so much as I would just like to know why it was done this way.

Just trying to make sense of it all.

Ore is only plural when talking about the same kind. When you are speaking of multiple kinds the correct word is Ores. Besides that is not even the point.

Yeah I asked stefan the same question when I started playing on this server.. Why axes broke.. because it takes away the entire point of mining since axes are expensive and eat away more than half your profit.. heck, even a titanium axe for like 600 gralat or something would be nice (that doesn't break)

All that work and then your axe breaks so you have to buy another.. apple farming to pie baking is the best way to make money currently.. fishing doesn't come close to the ammount you make in 45 minutes apple pie baking/farming.. go ahead and try it.. fish for an hour and farm/pie bake for an hour.. farming/pie baking will give more. Pearl diving doesn't even make as much as pie baking.. I have tried all the jobs for quite a while and pie baking is the main money maker at the moment.. Although I wish stefan would release high priced items like an unbreakable axe and a fish basket to carry more fish so that the other jobs are actually worth something.. It gets boring farming and pie baking but it just isn't worth the time to even mine/fish.

Oh by the way, what do you guys think about the little character in my signature? It's my beta concept for the online game I am going to create soon.
