All crops in Roblox Build an Island

In Roblox Build an Island, you can buy seeds from Merchant Mike. The NPC is accessible once you unlock the part of the island behind the spawn area. The Merchant's stock replenishes every five minutes, but you can skip the countdown by utilizing Robux.

The Merchant always has multiple seed packets in store. While he sells most of the seeds in the game, some are event-specific, such as the Celestial Event in Build an Island. The latter allows players to find a Celestial Seed and then plant a rare fruit-bearing tree.

For strategic cultivation, use the following list that outlines each crop's seed cost, sale prices, growth time, and harvestability. The sale prices are based on their variants: Normal, Golden, and Rainbow.

How to farm efficiently in Build an Island

The Upgrades menu (Image via Roblox)

While every crop has a preset growth time, you can speed it up with upgrades. Each investment in the "Crop Growth" upgrade boosts a crop's growth by 0.05%. You can also spend Gold in the "Regrowth Boost" upgrade for greater yield efficiency in the game.

There are other ways to increase the growth speed of crops. Growth Potions can be crafted with 100 Bamboo Planks and 9 Tomatoes and subsequently utilized in the farm management experience. Moreover, you can buy the Watering Can with Robux and use it on your seedbeds to instantly grow all your crops.

Given that your plants grow while you're AFK, it isn't necessary to craft Growth Potions or purchase Watering Cans. Simply quit the game, return after a few minutes or hours, collect the produce, sell it for Gold, and repeat the process if the crops are reharvestable.
