How to Make Money Quickly and Easily

Get 500,000G by Selling Royal Curry

This method is the best there currently is in-game and can be done at any point in the game. This is due to the requirement for it only being that you befriend Elsje and increase your Friendship Level with her to at least 3. She also needs to be recruited in your party for this method to work.

You can repeat this method as many times as you wish for as much money as you need.

Making Money in the Early Game

Making Money in the early Game
Sell Dropped Items Fishing Defeat Bosses

Sell Dropped Items

Early on in the game, the most common Items that players can find (and subsequently sell) are those that they find in either the city or in the field. Although these items are cheap, if players ship them all, it will help to raise basic funds that are necessary for growing crops.

Fishing

Another great way of earning enough money early on is by first completing the tutorial on fishing. This will grant players access to the Fishing Rod, allowing them to go out on fishing trips in order to catch fish that can later be sold.

Although the amount of money gained from fishing depends entirely on the type of fish players can catch, catching rare and high-priced fish is an avenue to generate decent amounts of money per fish. Players can even increase the chances of catching expensive fish by fishing with characters whom players have a Friendship Level of 3 or higher.

Defeat Bosses

Some of the bosses that players can find and fight early on the game can be repeatedly picked on for the expensive Items that they drop upon defeat. This is the first truly lucrative way of earning money, along with Seed Points.

Simply go out to dungeons and defeat the bosses at the end of each one. Collect their droped Items afterwards and get to selling!

Making Money Mid to Late Game

Sell Crops Selling By-Products Selling Dishes

Sell Crops

With access to a decent amount of money, enough to plant several crops, players can grow high-priced crops in their field. These can then be later on shipped to earn large amounts of cash per crop, giving players a sustainable way of earning money for their escapades.

The following are recommended crops to grow and sell, which can all be planted fairly early on in the game and provides players with an avenue of earning stable cash until the late game:

Selling By-Products

If players build a Monster Barn, they can subsequently tame Monsters found out in the world and make use of their by-products as items to sell in exchange for decent amounts of money.

Selling Crafted Items or Dishes

With a blacksmith or Countertop, players can craft or forge items that can then be subsequently sold off. Although the amount of money to be gained for the pieces themselves is not as substantial as those gained from crops, they do have the benefit of increasing in parallel a player's skill level.
