Accepted Raise price of Mob Drops

Minecraft Name: Avowin

Suggestion: Raise price of mob drops

Reason: As of right now, the maximum price for a mob drop is skeletons with $1 per bone and arrow. Although that's the highest price for drops, attempting to farm them does not make much money at all. I have a star sword, which has extra looting on it, and in an hour it's almost impossible to get more than 3k from selling those. Even with EXP, you get, if you're lucky, an extra 1k to sell to other players with exp. That's only about 4k from doing this, while other methods have a huge difference in earnings. I feel like there should be a little more compensation for those wanting to mob farm a little.

Any Other Information: Please leave constructive responses below please

Spoiler: My suggestion

This is without me going into more in depth testing at all (I will do more tests of things later on to give a better estimate if needed, finals week this week):
Bones: 1.00 --> 2.25
Arrows: 1.00 --> 2.00
Bonemeal: .30 --> .70
The reason I say for the difference in bone and arrow prices is because bones are used more often especially in the case of farming. It does not necessarily need to be more than arrows, but I'm using input from other players above into that.

Zombie Flesh: 0.75 --> 1.50
Zombies are not the most profitable spawner at all, and although they have the ability to drop things such as iron ingots, potatoes, and carrots, if someone with looting 3 were to grind for an hour they would only make about 124 extra from the iron ingots in that hour. It's a factor, just not the biggest. I don't think that zombie flesh should be at the price as bones and arrows, due to the uselessness of them.

Spider Eye: .50 --> 1.25
String: .50 -->1.25
I would need to do more on spiders because frankly I'm not big into farming them because they are a pain in the butt to even attempt to set up as a spawner. This just seems a little reasonable to begin for a price increase.

Fermented Spider eye: 1.00 --> 1.75
This keeps a similar 50 cent increase from spider eyes as it was in the past, so this way no other item needed in the process of creating them will need changed.

Wool: .30 ---> .30 or .50
I do not see a need to change wool price, because wool is worth less than string as it is, we don't need to change that in my opinion due to the increase in price of string. If a want for that to increase as well is still there, however, I feel like a 20 cent increase would suffice.

Stick/Flint: No change due to them not being worth anything to begin with

Feather: .40 --> .70/.80
Right now feathers at .40, with one you can make 4 arrows totaling $4 per feather. If this were to stay at .40 each, it would be doubling the profit to make them compared to now... I feel like feather prices should increase to either .70 or .80 to make up for this increase, that way it cannot be "abused" more than what it originally could be.

I feel like these values are a great starting point for this at least, until I get more feedback. With skeletons being most profitable and making those prices, that would make about 7kish per hour I would estimate, which is still less than what I've had people say you get from pumpkin farming. Even though 7k isn't a lot some people would say, I still think that even that is more reasonable than 3kish (back before star tools this wouldn't have been too bad haha).

Please leave input on prices guys, thank you!

Spoiler: Jdawger's price suggestion

This is me personally, but I like nice, rounded numbers (to the dollar or half dollar). So...
Bones - $2.50
Arrows - $2.50
Bonemeal - $0.75

 

Another note after reading some responses, is after you take in the account the time it takes to actually find and set up a spawner, you still have the chance of either a) The map will reset at some point or b) someone can find it and destroy it. There's a lot higher risk in trying to farm mobs anyways because there's a huge chance of someone coming and just breaking it
