How to calculate Stalk Market Profits?

Profits in the Stalk Market are determined by the difference between your selling price and your initial purchase price. These prices are influenced by four distinct RNG (Random Number Generator) patterns: Random, Decreasing, Small Spike, and Large Spike, each affecting how much you can earn throughout the week.

Profit = (Selling Price - Purchase Price) × Quantity

Using the Turnip Tracker: an example

Consider a scenario where you purchase 1,000 turnips from Daisy Mae at 100 Bells each. Later that week, you identify a 'Large Spike' pattern on your island, with the peak price hitting 500 Bells per turnip.

Step-by-step calculation:

1. Calculate total cost: 1,000 turnips × 100 Bells = 100,000 Bells
2. Identify peak sell price: 500 Bells
3. Calculate total return: 1,000 turnips × 500 Bells = 500,000 Bells
4. Subtract cost for net profit: 500,000 - 100,000 = 400,000 Bells

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I time travel?
Turnips are extremely fragile! They will spoil immediately if you travel backward in time by any amount, or if you travel forward past the following Sunday morning.

When do turnips spoil?
Turnips have a shelf life of exactly one week. They spoil every Sunday morning at 5:00 AM, regardless of when you bought them.

What is a 'Large Spike'?
A 'Large Spike' is the most profitable pattern. It features a sharp price increase over three half-day periods, with the maximum price peaking between 200% and 600% of your original purchase price.
