If you have a strategy, a correction or some other way to save money, feel free to post it in the topic or PM it to me. You will get credited :D
This time it still isn't about mass making, it is basic tips. If I ever get the nerve, maybe I'll do another thing where it tells you to make massive millions in short time. But I don't think I'll ever get around it it
Income:
This section is devoted to finding ways to improve your income.
Crops:
Always use the ones that are from the casino. You can start with 100-200 medals and easily
make it to 100000 medals, then just purchase a ton of the crop seeds and set the sprites off.
Little fee, big results. Be sure to lend a bit of a hand sometimes to water. Make sure to either
Plant:
XXX
XXX
X X
Or if you prefer the sprites to harvest, then make sure to put the full crop there.
Try to boost the crop levels big time. This will pay off nicely. Also, plant in the Super Field. This reduces the gaps between the crops that can reproduce every 2 days to every day.
Filling the whole fields is a good mass maker strategy. But requires massive sprite affection and help. Be sure to plan it out well beforehand. So you always have waterers and harvesters.
BAP points out that fruits and veggies sell for more as seeds. Turn them into seeds and sell to Van.
Dotcow says that you should level pineapples up. At level 20 they sell for 300K a piece.
Foraging:
Get the little grasses and items that grow. Selling to Van may be more profitable than shipping
to Thomas, I am not sure which way is better.
Casino Abusing:
Get some medals, play a game, win, then double until you have enough medals to buy
the Red Cloak (some 64 thousand). Sell it to Van for 400K-600K. Then rinse and repeat.
The Casino also is good to get more items for cheap from. The medals are simple to double.
Excavating:
Save inside the excavation site. Dig up an item, reload and go to the same spot. Dig it up. Save and continue. Find another one, reload, and repeat.
When every spot is checked, exit, come back in, save and continue.
Mining Scams:
Getting the Alexandrite and Pink Diamonds at the floors of the second mine that are multiples of 3 or 10 and floor 100 or lower over and over again, then selling to Van is about a very good
money making idea. But it is very real life time consuming. Bring Bodigers and Turbojolts. Use the save and reload trick a lot to ensure falling on
the right floors, also, using the save and reboot the system to get rid of the monsters is a good idea.
Selling the cursed items that you can find in the mine is profitable from. Better after you bless them though. Sell to Van.
Using the Miracle Gloves, you can sell anything you get in the mine by throwing it on the ground. Although selling the Miracle Gloves would be a better
idea for profit, if you have them.
Fishing: Catch as many as you can and sell to Van. You can also hire the sprites to work for you as this. Getting all of them to do it is profitable. Pirate Treasures and Fish Fossils are reccomended. When available.
Animals: Buy a chicken, raise it to a decent level of affection. Then incubate an egg. Ship the eggs in between hatching and whenever there is an incubation open, put an egg in.
Then as a chicken hatches, raise it to a grown chicken, then sell to the poultry farm. Easy money.
Cows are a self-sustaining group of animals. Make a fenced in area. Mine looks like a barn, with a silo, then
the bird barn nearby. Then the whole place is surrounded completely by stone fence. Put grass squares in. I have roughly 60-70 squares of grass
and 4 cows. I leave the cows outside. The grass regrows at a rate that they will never go hungry. Be sure to brush, touch and talk to them. Ship the
milk. Cows are more profitable than sheep, in my opinion.
Try to put the animal products in a maker to double the profits.
Trees: In the long run, tree's can pay off. Plant them around the parks throughout town in area's that grow few forageable plants, and mostly weeds.
Get the fruit a year or two later. The reason these are planted in other areas is so that you save farmland for crops.
Low income strategies: While plucking weed's and junk from your fields, pocket them. Then sell them. It merits 1G for each one. It may be a rip off, but it's better than nothing.
If you are coming to winter soon, mow your grass over and sell some of the fodder. These strategies are for bums, but who cares.
Last Ditch Attempts:
If you are desperate for dough, sell all your fodder and animals and items that you do not need.
Recipies: You can sell recipes with the cannery and basket. They do not make you much, if any.
Expenses:
This section is for finding ways to cut down on the expenses.
Seeds and Items: If possible, get from the sprite's casino for medals. Which are easier to reproduce than money.
Buildings: Easily the most money saving option, but still some reliablility is wood. You can avoid storms by saving every night before bed, then
checking the weather in the morning. If it looks bad, reload.
Stone is the best option, but can be costly. Hire resource sprites to find you items. Try to raise your own materials to save you the cost for some
items.
Buy the buildings as they are needed, not wanted. Exceptions being Barns and Coops.
Tools: From the start, you should upgrade them all to Mystrile or Gold. That way, you can rid your farmland of the stumps and boulders. Always
upgrade directly to a high level, try to avoid doing them one by one. This saves you money and time.
Upgrade as needed, not wanted. Try saving the Hoe and Hammer for later. As you can mine with those. Get the watering can done when the sprites are watering crops.
Marriage: Marriage can get expensive. You have two options: Hold out for a while before marrying, or rush through the whole process as fast as you can.
The first option allows you to have a long, stable money amount. While the second one starts you off poor, but then the money comes rushing in, as you do not have to see
a girl every day.
The Infamous Billion Dollar Glitch:
Everyone is screaming "HOW DO I DO THIS!1!!111" well. Here you go.
I would avoid using this, as it takes away from the game. However, if you want to use it, fine with me.
Note that some games DO NOT have this glitch. Some do, but don't always work. Keep trying.
Having never performed the glitch myself, these are what others said worked for them. Try doing the tips written.
