Points or Flying

Hey all! I was wondering if its worth alternating routes for flowers to create sets was profitable. So I applied my crap knowledge of maths to something I've just scratched the surface of...

Just a quick thanks to Torn Stats for giving me the numbers to work with.

Flowers Maths:

So at the moment Cherry flowers seem to make the most but it fluctuates (these numbers were just snapshots of the market)

	Country	Time	Purchase	Market	Profit	P/M/U
Cherry	Japan	158	500	$68,929	$68,429	$216.55
Peony	China	169	5,000	$76,932	$71,932	$212.82
Ceibo	Argentina	117	500	$45,134	$44,634	$190.74
Tribulus	UAE	190	6,000	$78,265	$72,265	$190.17
Heather	United Kingdom	111	5,000	$47,137	$42,137	$189.81
African	South Africa	208	2,000	$70,407	$68,407	$164.44
Orchid	Hawaii	94	700	$28,224	$27,524	$146.40
Banana	Cayman Islands	25	4,000	$11,112	$7,112	$142.24
Crocus	Canada	29	600	$7,898	$7,298	$125.83
Dahlia	Mexico	18	300	$2,406	$2,106	$58.50
Edelweiss	Switzerland	123	900	$5,713	$4,813	$19.57

It makes ~$216 per minute per unit per minute which is solid bucks but can we get it higher?

Points conversion:

Cost	Time	Points	Value	Net	Profit	P/M/U
25500	1242	10	45190	451900	426400	171.31

If you run all the routes you actually make less than the most profitable route however it does sit above South Africa.

Therefore it's not as profitable to buy for points but just bulk sole flying Japan.

Thanks all!

reserved for my inevitable apology

Your calculations seem a bit off.

Using Cherry as an example, you're estimating profit of $68,429 based on a 158 minute trip. You did factor in the return trip in this calculation, so you've divided the profit by twice the travel time to get a figure of $216.55.

You didn't factor in the return trips for the points conversion profit, so the figure of $343.32 should be $171.66.

Makes sense. Thanks. I edited it all out

Even if building sets is more profitable, it would actually make more sense to;
1. fly to the highest profit per minute place
2. come back and sell your flowers/plushies
3. buy the missing flowers/plushies
4. repeat

Right?

That to me makes more sense than just be sitting in torn .

Don't forget about museum day! (+1 pt for full sets)

Nice guide r+ from me.

If I can add a small note for players that might not be aware, the most profitable items for import will change as market values fluctuate.

Apps like Torn PDA (and others) track this and will show profit/ hour for all travel destinations.

Most people avoid long flights cause you have to use up e to attack to not waste e which could've been used at the gym. That's something to consider too!
