6 Days, 10,000G

[tobyonfilm]

Summer, Day 22, Year 1. I need 10,000G for Fall, and I'd like advice in getting that. How do YOU get money fast in Summer?

Unfortunately, farming requires time (and often a starting budget), so it doesn't seem to be an option here.

If your Fishing skill is decent enough, you can make 5,000g a day. Getting 10k in 6 days would be laughably easy.

If you've been exploring the mine enough, selling gold bars and gems could work too.

Mm... well.. that depends.

It depends on what you have to work with (for cash, and for sprinklers, and any other equipment you can boost profits with).

Day 22 is pretty late in the season to be looking at 10k unless you've been working towards it all along.

How many reproducing plants do you have? (Blueberries, Hops, Peppers, Tomatoes, Corn, etc). Do you have any kegs or jars?


The best short turnaround crop for the Summer is Wheat. Wheat will turn 10 gold into 25 in 4 days. It'll turn 10 into 200 in 5 (if you have kegs). I'd probably tell you to grow as much Wheat as you can manage to tend.

There's a lot you can do, but ... generally it requires some planning ahead. Each season should be a process of getting ready for the next one.



This is the last day of Summer, year one, in my most recent playthrough:

Thanks for the help everyone. Turns out I was nearing a blueberry harvest. Combine that with some gold-star fishing and lucky mineral mining, I've actually gained over 16k!!!
