Always use the raw materials to craft higher-valued materials, e.g. make Stone bricks, glass etc. I personally run several furnaces that are constantly producing those thing (one for stone bricks, one for copper bars, one for bronze bars etc.). In addition I have one ore two more furnaces for commissions. Always make sure that the furnaces can proceed with the production which means you will need large amounts of wood. What I prefer to sell is rubber tires (100gols) made of bronze bars and rubber fruits.

after a dungeon run If theres nothing you actually need besides the money, you can sell everything for quite alot of money.

later when you upgrade your pickaxe, you can find topaz (good value and you get loads) from smashing big rocks in the fields usually worth a fair amount.

I've been selling stone stools, they sell well since I keep mining over 300 stones each time I go to the ruins..

Comissions are the biggest chunk of money you can make, try and look for simple ones like Glass and Storages. You can make a huge chunk of money by preparing the materials for 4-5 Dee-Dee's and completing them all at once when that main quest is unlocked.

Other than that most of your money will come from selling goods on High Market days. Most of the goods you can grow can be sold back for decent profit, though nothing major unless farmed in large quantities.

The game so far really seems to hinge on the comissions, which is fine. It's not a traditional farming sim where you can exponentially expand by just planting and harvesting one thing.

^ What Gotts said. Do the biggest commission that's available. Those 14 fibre cloth commissions? Ignore them and build 5 DD transports.

Build at least 2 of each furnace. Preferably more if space allows. You should *always* be making ingots. If not, hit the mines and restock. Get the better furnaces ASAP. They dramatically reduce the time to make stuff and the industrial furnace is the only way to get the best mining pick/axe.

Turn stones into stone stools. Sell them to Paulie. Vendor soil and sand (unless you need glass). If you're cutting trees, sell the tree sap too. Save resin.

I go heavy on the carbon steel bars and make the steel frames $$$. While waiting I will hit all the stone laying around, especially the island. Then make stone tables until you run out of marble then finish off the stone with stools. While waiting for the stones to respawn just mine or hunt, stockpile something else while waiting or go on a date. Or go to sleep :)

I just sell the manganese ore and make around 1400-2000 or more a day

had the same problem, i just gathert so many rubber fruits, and i made enough money

[Daenalaia]

oh, and colorful fur is handy to sell. There are thousands lama's out there!

Stone Stools furnished a wing for my house....

Not uncommon to have a couple hundred of the things come hight market tide.

Cheers..!

If you're good at fishing, the fishing spot near the bottom of the waterfall has Goliaths - they sell for 350 per regular fish and 700 for emperor.

Everyone has some good points here. I want to add that once you finish the bridge to Amber Island, you should spend lots of time in Abandoned Ruins #2 and get as much lead as possible.

Turn it all into lead ingots and you will get over 50k gols on a great market day for a stack of around 900.

I know 900 ingots sounds like a lot, but if you commit to farming lead you'll have more damn lead and iron than you'll know what to do with and never need to worry about money again.

Edit: I just want to reinforce someone else's earlier point and repeat that it is absolutely essential that you have multiple furnaces. On a new game I go with about 6 stone furnaces and upgrade as I go. Around mid-to-late-game I have around 12 or more Industrial furnaces for speedy production of anything I could ever want or need.

Mass-producing/collecting more difficult comission items like water engines that tend to come up repeatedly. This is more difficult to do when you're first starting out, but might help later on x__x

Selling stone and bee products ( from trees) is pretty profitable early on though!

[AdrianLL]

To me the best item to sell is the herb fence, really cheap to make and each one sell for 500, (even higher on a high market day).

[arthum.inglorion]

Comissions for water tanks are decent money and are easy to complete at early stages of the game.
