So feeding my addiction to “We Rule” from ngmoco, Inc. I have decided to carry out a bit of analysis and thought I would share my findings with you, starting out with looking at the returns gained from the varying crops. Those already playing We Rule“ will know that to get started you really need to start planting, growing, and harvesting crops. This is how you start to set up a revenue stream and grow your Kingdom. As you progress through the levels more crops start to become available to you, offering varying levels of reward. Now on the face of it, it would seem that the more valuable crops will help you progress through the levels quicker, but is that the case? I decided to take a look.

As you can see all is not necessarily as it might first appear. Take an item likge the legendary “Magic Cauliflower”. It offers a whopping 2000 coins and 350 experience points, but it takes 12 hours for them to grow. Now if we were to grow the lowest level crop (“Corn”) over the same period, we would earn 3600 coins and 720 experience points!

Okay it’s not that simple as the “Corn” matures every 45 seconds and even I am not that addicted. So what is the best crop? Well, it depends on what you are going to be doing. If you are going to be sat glued to the game you might want to be growing Wheat, over a 24 hour period you can see this is the highest grossing “Crop” from the table above. However this does mean that you have to be harvesting and replanting every 5 minutes. If you are only checking your Kingdom once a day you might be better off picking a crop that takes a little longer to mature, but remember if crops aren’t harvested within a short period they will spoil and be worth nothing.
