Efficient Money-Making in Part 1
| Farming Location | Period |
|---|---|
| ▼Junk Heap | After clearing the Junk Heap |
| ▼Northern Plains | During Part 1 |
Farming Robots in the Junk Heap
| [How-to / Steps] 1. Go from the protagonist's village through the Northern Plains to the Junk Heap. 2. Farm robots in the first map of the dungeon. 3. Repeat step 2 by entering and exiting the dungeon. 4. Once you've gathered enough, sell the materials at the brothers' shop. |
▲You can also get items from the wooden boxes at the back of the map.
The most efficient way to make money early on is to repeatedly visit the Junk Heap. Just like during the story, repeatedly farm "Titanium Alloy" and sell the materials you collect. Check how many items you need for upgrades and sell the surplus.
Material Sell Prices
Can Also Be Used for Leveling Up
Farming materials by running through the Junk Heap involves defeating a large number of robots. This doubles as a good way to level up, killing two birds with one stone.
Farming Sheep in the Northern Plains
| [How-to / Steps] *It's recommended to do this in sunny weather to avoid being bothered by enemies. 1. Go from the protagonist's village to the Northern Plains. 2. Farm sheep relentlessly and collect their meat. 3. Once you've gathered enough, return to the protagonist's village. 4. Deliver it to the villager near the fountain in the shopping district to exchange it for money. |
After completing the A Signature Dish quest, you can bring 10x Mutton to the quest giver to receive 1,500G as many times as you want. You can change the weather by entering and exiting the area, so sunny weather is recommended to avoid being bothered by enemies.
Defeat Sheep with Magic
You can easily defeat sheep with magic without getting kicked. If you're having trouble getting close to them, give it a try.
If You Need Money at the Very Beginning
If you advance the story a little, you'll be able to go to the Junk Heap and earn money more efficiently. Unless you need to farm before then, it's fine to just collect mutton as you travel.
You Can Buy the Beastbain with 120 Mutton
If you collect 120 Mutton, you can buy the "Beastbain," one of the strongest weapons in Part 1. It takes time, but it will make progressing through Part 1 much easier.
Get a Trophy for Hunting 100 Sheep
| Rank | Name/Condition |
|---|---|
| The Sheep Whisperer You killed 100 sheep. |
If you kill 100 or more sheep, you'll earn the "The Sheep Whisperer" trophy. You might as well get it done while you're farming for money.
Efficient Money-Making in Part 2
Fishing for Sandfish in the Desert
| [How-to / Steps] *Make sure to max out your fishing skill. 1. Go to the fishing spot in the Desert. 2. Fish continuously with a Lure. 3. Sell them once you've caught a decent amount. |
At the fishing spot in the Desert, you can catch Sandfish at a high rate using a Lure, which isn't consumed. Each one sells for 2500G.
What You Can Catch in the Desert
Ignore the Rare Fish
At a low probability, you can also hook fish that are more valuable than Sandfish. However, even with maxed-out skill, they take a long time to reel in, so if you find it difficult, just let them go.
Special Money-Making Methods
This may significantly break the game's balance, so please use at your own risk.
Infinitely Obtain and Sell Eagle Eggs
| How-to | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Obtain one Eagle Egg in The Aerie. |
| 2. | With the Eagle Egg in your inventory, accept the Part 1 quest "A Better Prescription". |
| 3. | Without going to The Aerie, turn in the Eagle Egg you already have to complete the quest. |
| 4. | After that, go to the area below the chief's house. |
| 5. | Gather from the glowing spot on the ground (guaranteed to be an Eagle Egg). |
| 6. | Jump off the cliff to reduce your HP to 0. |
| 7. | When you continue, you will respawn on the upper level. |
| 8. | Repeat steps 5-7 until you have enough Eagle Eggs. |
| 9. | Keep the amount needed for upgrades (4) and sell the rest. |
This is a method to earn money by getting a guaranteed supply of valuable Eagle Eggs. Each one sells for 4,800G, so by getting just four, you can buy the Beastbain, one of the strongest early-game weapons. You can do this after clearing The Aerie (first visit), making it the most efficient way to make money early on.
Selling Items Multiplied Through Cultivation
| How-to | |
|---|---|
| 1. | [Open Console Settings] Settings → Date and Time → Select Time Zone |
| 2. | Select "UTC-11:00 American Samoa" |
| 3. | [Return to the Game] Plant the desired seeds |
| 4. | Save or move out of the current area |
| 5. | [Open Console Settings] Select "UTC+23:00 Independent State of Samoa" |
| 6. | [Return to the Game] Load or return to the area |
| 7. | Time skip complete! (Up to a maximum of 24 hours) |
Items planted via cultivation grow over time. By using the time zone trick, you can make them grow in a short amount of time and easily multiply them.
You Can Harvest Rice from Rice Seedlings
Rice sells for 300G each. You can make a large profit without doing anything, but you can increase it further with fertilizer and watering.
Lunar Tears Are Not Recommended
Rare colored flowers (white or pink) can be sold for a high price, but with the time zone manipulation method, they will only grow into flowers. Therefore, you cannot produce seeds, making it impossible to mass-produce them. It's possible if you create a large number of seeds beforehand, but it takes a lot of time and effort, so it's not recommended.
