How we compare the classes

This is a role-based comparison, not a claimed developer ranking. We use reported class effects and the farm loop: gather hay, carry it, sell it and improve. A low spin chance does not itself establish better performance. Exact clearing-time benchmarks have not been tested.

Beginner

Learn the loop with Starter. Pack Mule may reduce selling trips through reported extra capacity. Keep Gems until you know which delay matters.

Farming

Hay Merchant targets sale income, Forkmaster targets Pitchfork clearing, and Prospector targets reported diamond opportunities. Pick the resource you actually need.

Longer runs

Demolitionist and Drone Specialist offer reported clearing utilities. Ultimate Farmer combines bonuses according to the selected guide, but chasing a 0.1% report can consume a large budget without success.

Best team combo: divide the work

Start by splitting the hay area so players do not repeat the same search path. Use your available clearing and carrying roles to cover different tasks. This is coordination advice; no special numeric team-synergy bonus has been verified.

For a solo run, choose around your own slowest action instead. Time a complete bag-and-selling cycle before changing equipment or class priorities.

Class questions

Which class is best?

Choose a role for your current delay: carrying, income or clearing. Ultimate Farmer is reported to combine bonuses but its very low reported chance does not make chasing it a guaranteed good budget decision.

Is rarity the ranking?

No. A rare class is not automatically the best fit for your current run.

What team combo should we use?

Split work areas and coordinate selling and clearing. No numeric class synergy bonus has been verified.

Confidence: class effects and spin rates are reported by the selected public guides; role recommendations are editorial judgments and have not been measured in controlled game tests.
