I'm guessing this topic comes up A LOT!!!!!
But I was wondering:
What ways are there of making REAL fast money??
I already know that you can:
  • Fish at the dog (1st) and Fireworks (24th) festivals in Summer,
    The Horseracing Festivals - Bet on yourself and then buy 39 Brooches (Spelled Broaches on the game),
    Fill up the whole of your ranch with crops>Cabbages in Spring, Pineapples in Summer and Sweet potatoes in Fall,
    The 5 year glitch (5, 10, 15, etc, where you wish for double profits,
    and small things like using the Mayonaise, Cheese and Yarn makers + The full amount of animals...

But is there really anything else that I've missed...?


**ALSO

just a calculation I done to see which animals give you moore money on the long run:
(I have 4 cows and 4 Sheep which produce P wool and milk)

COWS
  • P Cheese sells 750 G each.
    750 G x 7 days = 5250 G per week.
    5250 G x 4 cows = 21,000 G per season (not including odd 2 days)
SHEEP
  • P Yarn sells at 1,000 G each
    1,000 G x 1 day = 1,000 G per week.
    1,000 G x 4 sheep = 4,000 G per season (not including odd 2 days)

You get wool from your sheep only once in a week.

At beach festivals, bring a Cursed/Blessed/Mythic Rod and fill up a basket with Pirate Treasure. Sells for 10000G per piece IIRC.

You don't use stamina during festivals and no time goes by, so each beach festival is an easy 39000G. 30000 from basket and 9000 from the rucksack. You can get the basket from the beach the next day and talking to people during a festival doesn't give the pirate treasure to them.

Use the Start button to throw things away instead of just throwing them on the ground or back in the ocean.

in the years with the shooting star event, go to the races and fill the basket up full, and try to live for 2 seasons without it, it'll earn u a lot more of money.

Buy some seeds and force some sprite labor. After you have enough gold , plant some more.

Woth other money-making activities , you will be rich in no time.

try to use up all or most of the field to plant crops, you could earn a lot, make sure you have a lot of help from the sprites, and if you have blessed or mythic tools you can do a litttle of the work. When it is fall, and you plant lots of sweet patatoes, you could earn more than 5 mil in one season.

My sprites all have about half bars on watering and harvesting, so I have organised my crops in 3X3 squares all along, except for grass in-between each 3x3 section...

It looks pretty nice, and still brings in a lot of money!!

After a while, I'll be able to fill my whole farm... :p

Well... I usually ask Saibara to make the brooches/necklaces or else for 1000G and sell it back for 2000G...
