PIZZA Scholars' Seventh Harvest

Welcome back to my State of the Pizza Farms update. We are now onto our 7th Harvest already.

Before we get into this week's earnings, I'd like to touch on a few updates and happenings in the HashKings Universe.

Weekly Happenings

Last week we talked about this implementation of the buds staking system. So far everything has been going well on that front. If you haven't done so yet, keep in mind that the earlier you get into staking, the more you'll make in the long term. Going back to last weeks example of 1000 buds staked. If you did not add any more buds and kept your initial 1000 buds staked from Day 1, they would be worth just over 1066 buds. Not bad at all for 2 weeks of passive gains.

This week's biggest news: Forging prices have been reduced from $2 per forge, which increased as the Avatar levels increased, to a steady $0.50 per forge across all levels and rarities.

Overall, this change has been welcomed with open arms by most players. The original forge cost kept a lot of players from forging anything but the highest rarity Avatars. Now, with the reduced cost, many are able to afford to forge the lower levels as well. Likewise, this encourages more avatar pack purchases, which leads to more forging. A great example of another positive feedback loop here in Hash Kings. This then in turn feeds more money into the buds reward pool and which helps everyone who has been staking buds.

Pizza Guild Earnings Report

Now, it's time now for my Pizza Guild Earnings report, brought to you by @hive.pizza... the pizza-lovers $PIZZA. Order yours today.

This is now my 7th completed week here on the Pizza Guild Farms. Another 15 plots have been planted, watered, and harvested. Let's see how we did this week:

I'm continuing to front load my biggest yielding seeds and have planted my next 15 highest yielding seeds. If you read my update on buds staking, you'll realize that the earlier you get into the staking pool, the greater your returns will be over time. So I accept my fate at having a smaller haul later on if it means I'll have better passive income now.

As part of the Pizza Guild, 70% of these gains goes straight into my pocket. If it isn't clear now, those buds are going straight into the staking pool. Other growth in the game will come. My other plots that I own will be used as "play money". Guild earnings, however, are earmarked for one thing and one thing only at the moment.

I also spent some of my own hive this week to forge some of my avatars. This hive gets added to the staking pool, so I'll see some of those returns from the increased pool. In addition, these strong avatars mean I get even more buds from Raids. Those buds get staked, and the cycle continues. Win-win-win for me.

Looking forward to another great crop! See you all next week!
