The five-item community list has four known XP values. Calculate XP divided by price only for those four; Meat remains unknown.
| Food | Price | XP | XP per Cash |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grass | $10 | 500 | 50.00 |
| Bone | $1,500 | 10,000 | 6.67 |
| Meat | $30,000 | — | — |
| Magic Apple | $7,000,000 | 300,000 | 0.04 |
| Dragonfruit | $30,000,000 | 1,000,000 | 0.03 |
The value comparison
Grass: 500 XP for $10, or 50 XP per Cash. Bone: 10,000 for $1,500, about 6.67. Magic Apple: 300,000 for $7 million, about 0.043. Dragonfruit: 1 million for $30 million, about 0.033.
Efficiency is not the only constraint
Grass leads on raw XP per Cash, but buying and using many small items can take more actions. If your bottleneck is time rather than Cash, compare the live shop and how quickly you can feed.
How to feed
The cited guide says to buy at food stands near spawn, select the pet, then use food while riding it or after placing it in the ranch. Food grants XP; the source does not give a direct food-to-speed formula.
What about Meat and potions?
Meat is listed at $30,000 but its XP is absent, so an efficiency rank would be made up. The same item list contains no Potion; check the current game if a patch adds one.
Prices and XP are community-listed. Meat XP and any direct speed effect are undocumented.
