Constantly poor!

[Adam__86]

I don't know if I am missing something obvious but I literally feel like I am eternally broke! To the extent its affecting my enjoyment and I don't want to feel that

You'll be poor until you run out of stuff to buy then you'll complain about the money cap and lack of things to spend money on.

generate passive income. gardening is very lucrative. having 3+ appletrees, making marmelade and sell it etc. that alone could make you like 20k or so every day

Fish, fish, fish until your inventory is full. If you fish near einar, you can sell it all to him, sell everything you catch. Glow worms provide the best fish prices, so get a glow worm farm or two going as well. You can actually do this for all gathering activities. But, imo, hunting and fishing are the quickest (for me.)y
editing to add: you should also keep your farm going while you're out hunting and/or fishing and sell the crops that you don't need. wheat, potatoes, cabbage, apples and blueberries sell nicely ..if you can ferment them that's a bigger bonus.

Join the Palia Discord, always cake party listings in lfg section, even with the nerf, cake parties are still a great way too earn gold. Farm Sweet Leafs in North Bahari or sign up for the oven, spreading role which requires no ingredients. Agree that Fishing but also Hunting and mining are nice gold earners. Party up with people not only to gain the buff but also the chance to get double the loot.

lol hilarious, not even a week since i started and already unlocked so much new land and makign furniture and selling hundreds of crops, playing hotpot getting delicious money etc it doesn't feel difficult at all just bit time consuming.

[Adam__86]

Nobody wants to party up whenever I play. I'm just selling veg, but I don't have time to just grind for hours to make a few thousand gold. Just accepted I probably won't get a nice house

Do you have your upgraded tools yet? I found i was very poor till i upgraded all my tools. At that point i could spend my money on what i actually wanted, not being at a resource limit.
It is a bit of a grindy game to unlock stuff

What are you trying to buy? How early in the game are you...?

my 1st good money came from playing Hotpot, some people can't figure out how to play it but it's quite easy and you can earn enough money to get the recipes for your first improved tools, food and sawmill, smelter etc.
after that just gatheting shells and oysters or anything in the fields, getting lots of wood and stone and fiber and sell some for extra money, thats how you start earning your first coins and 1st house comes from Tish iirc which only requires stone and planks something easy to achieve. Adam said in a different post he has barely 13h playing the game and already feeling bad for being poor? in which multiplayer online game with rpg elements or mmo you leave poverty after 13h? none there's none, period, you struggle with resources and do quests to get money and improve your gear and stats overtime and everything takes time that's how it always has been.

After playing several mmos or even single player titles like fallout 4 with similar questing system and rpgs i can tell palia is not difficult at all, it just has time-gated mechanics and time consuming activities, something absolutely NORMAL for this kind of farming sim games with rpg elements just like stardew valley, time at portia, the legendary harvest moon and story of seasons friends of mineral town.

mine everyday, you can get plenty of coins from selling iron ore and the gems you collect add up. couple that with gardening (specifically, making apple jam) and making/selling gold or pal ore/bars. getting coins is frustrating, but since there isn't much to spend them on (unless you buy a house, renovate, etc) then you can save plenty.

Get off your simping horse

Yes, all those games have a grind, the difference been the work reward ratio. Most MMORPGs give you enough gold with quests and there is a balance with the carrot on the stick. Too long and people don't deem it worth the effort

I am earning coin but no way am I grinding hours everyday in this game for surface level rewards not until they make the grind less tedious aka more ore nodes

[Cweepy~]

I just make sure to have all my planting spots full and watered/fertilized when I'm online, then go off and combine collection expeditions, like I'll mine and pick up all the gatherables, or I'll bug hunt and animal hunt, etc, so I don't get too tired of passing by nodes and shiny loot while I hyperfocus on one thing. Mostly I make money by selling tomatoes and pickled potatoes at the moment. Apple jam, too, but I'm still at one apple tree for now so I'm focusing more on building up a bunch in storage first. With the tomatoes and pickled potatoes tho, I can make 2-5k twice per Palia day, in addition to whatever animal bits/gemstones/extra whatevers I grab while I'm out and about.

Edit: I'm not only growing tomatoes and potatoes for this. I'm constantly refreshing resources I use in cooking as well, so you don't need to go super hard on those crops. Just make sure to slap a few down each time you plant.
