This method uses the usual setup of one port crystal in Melve, and one in Bakbattal. filling your inventory with apples and grapes in Melve, and porting to Bak to sell when ripe for massive profits. I have broken it down into a series of 42 days, with each day broken down into length. This analysis also takes into account a 10% discount with the vendor due to high affinity. (easily done with a few gifts, or by your 4th or 5th Bank Run)

I tested selling all apples to vendor, and with only one fresh apple and one ripe apple in storage, and sleeping 20 days did not age either fruit, so it's likely fruit never ages in the chest or does so so slowly that a full run of 198 is possible well before they rot.

Due to the above, you can maximise your profit, and save £10k per run on TP costs by building up 99 ripened, then switching to buying and depositing every third day to get unripe apples to 99 before travelling to Bakbattal to sell. Breakdown of the runs below:

Cumulative breakdown of Bank runs. Each run consists of 5 days, and the 5th day is the day to bank all fruit in the inn. Excluding the final 3 runs, which have small changes to min/max time:

After the sixth bank run, things change. The first day of the run is as normal, but on the second day, you need to also withdraw 20 ripe apples from the storage. these will ripen in just enough time for us to max out 99 ripe and 99 unripe with 1 ripe left over to rot by day 39, cutting the 9th bank day 2 days early.

Run types are as follows: Quick Run
loop from the bench to the vendor to buy fruit and back to the bench to wait a day.
54
Bank Run
loop from the bench to the vendor to buy, then to the inn to deposit all fruit, and then back to the bench to wait a day.
55
Withdraw Run
loop from the bench to the vendor to buy, then to the inn to withdraw 20 unripe fruit and then back to the bench to wait a day. this only happens once
56
Sell Run
fast travel to Bakbattal to sell ripe fruit, and then wait a day or two for the unripe fruit to ripen and sell again. Be careful with trying to ripen all 99 at once.
