What do you guys grind for money when you start out?

[Vyper]

I read stone knives, but it might be old info, however I'm in the process of trying anyway

[Maehlice]

Stone Knives is definitely way old info. Bronze armour.

[Maehlice]

That being said, I highly highly highly recommend NOT grinding for anything. There's a lot that can be done in this game, but it's also extremely easy to do it all way too fast and then find yourself bored.

I recommend just relaxing and letting everything unfold "organically"; don't "meta game" anything. Just let it all play out naturally. If you need some quick coin just to cover a bill, then craft a quick armour, sure. But, don't make 20 of them and drain the whole map of its Coin.

Just my 2 coin.

Whatever you can make most efficiently.

For me, I chopped 1000 tree in the first play and sell thousand of feather after that. From the second play, I just find a bow in an abandoned camp and go hunting. Eat the meat, sell the fur and leather. I do that for a 2-3 first (long) years.

1- sell Stone Knives to buy cabbage, flax seeds, a bag and fertiliser.
2 - Torches from the workshop, two sticks, two leather. i think its 12 coins.
3 - poison arrows from the Herbalist, need 5 deadly night shade for 10 arrows. Dont sell any of the metal arrows you find unless you poison them first.
4 - Fill every farming plot with Rye, keep enough for animal feed, planting all intended feels and crafting

Sell any fur you ever get, you will probably never craft anything with them till year 4 or 5 then its rugs for decorations

Hunting & Exploring

- process the meat (dry, roast, salt) and sell everything you don't need
- Handcraft small bags from the leather and sell them
- distribute all furs in the houses ( early + cheap mood boost) and sell the surplus

- Everything you find in the wilderness and in ruins you don't have to buy, everything you can't use you can sell

And there is no reason to hunt the map empty, just the pack that is closest or what you come across when you feel like hunting.

Every new profession you open up offers you new sales opportunities. Anything that you can easily generate a surplus of and somehow process will earn you money.

Used to be rye and wheat grain was worth a lot but they seem to have nerfed it. Seems better to sell rye and wheat itself. You can also set up a field to rotate between wheat and rye so you're constantly growing something you can use/sell.

Also, in the early game, doing missions/quests will earn you a good amount of everything (loot, XP, coin, dynasty rep). Just doing actions (extraction, farming, production, etc.) will also just earn you XP anyway. I think it ends up being about what you want to achieve...

Also remember that there are skills you can upgrade that will increase your earn for the different skill trees.

I usually just end up selling roasted meat, along with simple bags (which basically doubles the value of your leather). Later on, simple shoes seem a nice way to turn leather into gold.

Settle near a mine. Mine the ore, then later when you get a smithy, turn those into bars. You can make a tidy sum of money very quickly. Also, the mine in Skauki can be mined as well for early access to iron.

[SimuLord]

Stone arrows at the very beginning, copper arrows as soon as I get the smithy. I haven't had a chance to game out the value of the new clothing options in the sewing hut but pre-November update I'd make shoes out of leather (basically the simple bag method but on a much larger scale) or fur shoes out of leather and fur (makes the rabbit traps more economically productive.)

[Vyper]

ty all for the input!

poison them arrows before you sell them, small amount of work with the cost of only 5 deadly nightshade and 1/100 of a bucket and the price goes way up. cant remember the prices, but 1 poison iron arrow sells for 50 coins

I trap rabbits, eat the meat and sell the fur. Chop down trees to build a house and sell the feathers. Buy a few grains of wheat and some manure and start multiplying wheat seeds. Then I buy a recipe to grind wheat into flour. Selling flour is a good money maker that pays the taxes and lets you buy a few needed recipes. Since you have to progress a ways until you make a kitchen and can bake, you don't need flour for your own use for a long time.

Robery : a lot of stuff in oxborn to could be sell in over villages. But in the begining of the game i dont urge on making money : as soon a i have money for iron axe and back pack I dont urge in making money : it will come later.

[Dom79]

First is to run around , and flirt with every women to quickly increase Diplomacy, than u literally just can buy a ton of different stuff, and make better thinks out of it. Start with fish, cook it (In oxbow u can use the house of the barber for it) , than sell it with a win. Can be done with most of the stuff u can buy. Currently the most and best income are Arrows with poison. If u poison Iron Bolts, one Poison Potion has a worth of 500 Gold making it incredible effective. With a little buying from the market u can easy make Bolts/Arrows with poison worth 100 thousands of gold. Another advance: there are not weight much and u get 10 per crafting, ensuring u can sell out most of the money of all the Traders around the villages.

Due to the fact that the Fish got changed or is buggy (I dont know) , u can easy fish, because the fish is no longer swimming away, there stay right in front of u and are easy to catch now. Fish Spears can cheap be buyed or be found on a lot of different locations around the map enabling urself to quickly catch fish and make money from it.

When do vendors restock items/money?
