The most efficient money farming method in Monster Hunter Wilds is capturing Goldenfish and Platinumfish. This money-making strategy is highly recommended as it also lets you earn guild points at the same time. Additionally, it remains effective even after the update.
Move to Another Area to Respawn
Fish will respawn when you move to another area, so you can make as much money as you like by going back and forth between areas.

After the update, fish are more likely to flee. Using motion canceling with crouch allows you to quickly rapid-fire the net, so it’s highly recommended.

Scarlet Forest Map Guide: Camp LocationsChange Environment to Plenty

If the weather at Scarlet Forest is Fallow or Inclemency, change it to Plenty by taking a break at the campsite. Fish do appear in other weathers but more fish spawns during the Plenty weather. If the Plenty weather ends while fishing, you can take a break once again to change to Plenty weather.
Use Fishing Net to Capture Fish at the Right of the Camp

There are fish spawning points on the right and left side of the camp. When fishing, fish that are near the net will escape so cast the net multiple times to catch as many as possible.

When catching fish with a net, the animation can be canceled after the fish has been obtained. You can do this by shooting the net while crouching then standing up when the fish has been caught.
Swim Left and Capture Fish in the Back
Fish spawning point on the left side of the camp is at the end of the lake. If you can't find it, try following the video above.

Fish in the Water in Front of the Camp

Equipment Crafting and Upgrading

Zenny is required to craft and upgrade weapons, armor, and Talismans at the Smithy. The more powerful the equipment, the more zenny it will require, so if you want to make a complete set of equipment you will need a large amount of zenny.
