Best Ways to make Star Coins

[minor cloak]

Thought I'd leave this thread here for people to share tips on how make Star Coins fast cause let's be honest stuff in Mc Scrooges store be verrry pricey 🤑

[outer breach]

i sell gems! they go for a lot at goofy's stall, especially shiny ones, and they're pretty easy to come by if you mine a lot

[minor cloak]

@pulsar dove @tranquil apex @fleet loom @karmic grail @plucky zinc @hushed rain @mossy dome @velvet sequoia @clever frost @fast crown @harsh nacelle

[clever frost]

Here's a Spreadsheet for growing crops, so that you can see what's best for you at any stage of the game!

[hushed rain]

I want to see the person who can make that dedication to wheat

[plucky zinc]

I do gems, but it look like someone already said that 🤣

[clever frost]

Just keep planting until the first one if grown, pick them all then replant! You'd be lucky to get anywhere near the max there!

[fierce kestrel]

Interesting that wheat is technically highest profit per hour 🤔

[shrewd minnow]

yeah i do gems right now, and bring a mining buddy with me (which usually is Scrooge!)

[lean raven]

I plant okra and pumpkins and then go mining while I wait for those to grow

[forest ferry]

I’ve been making tons of soufflé, in Remys restaurant there is milk cheese butter and something else I forget right there behind the counter but one of each of those makes a souffle, and every single soufflé sells for profit, it’s so easy as long as you have coal

[lean raven]

I used to do that but I just find it too slow

[fast crown]

Just posted a video on youtube of my cute pumpkin patch, but I plan to make a more in-depth star coin earning guide using @clever frost's and any other awesome ideas that pop into this channel over the next few days! Feel free to DM me too for anything 🙂

[earnest river]

Soufflé

[fleet loom]

One thing to note about gems is the shiny ones are never used for quests, only for companion favorites, so to me those are free sells

[patent ferry]

Yep, I keep one of each in storage so I've got it handy for character favourite gifts and then sell any extra I get

[cursive palm]

I farmed lobsters in Glad of trust and made 100k they spawn a lot in that area for me

[lone zenith]

Farm canola in the forest!! Omg I've making so much gold! Just got to be sure to water your crops a couple times, and always have a gardening friend with you to get almost twice as much as you planted

[rich orchid]

The best way to get Star coins is to farm pumpkins. I make 1M each 4-5 hours 🙂

[feral spear]

Do you just sell the pumpkins back? Or cook them?

[clever frost]

Sell them for a profit of 389 per pumpkin!

[quick crow]

Is there a benefit of farming Canola in the forest as opposed to anywhere else?

[clever frost]

So if you see that green arrow you know it's in the right place!

[quick crow]

Oh cool, thanks 😄 I had actually missed that

[clever frost]

However sometimes you just need more room than you have...

[quick crow]

I just wish planting was quicker XD

[clever frost]

Do it with a fishing rod in hand

Also increase that movement speed with meals! When you eat a meal and you go over max energy you get a movement speed buff

[quick crow]

That's so cool! Thanks @clever frost ! I appreciate your guru knowledge

[lone zenith]

Wait really? 😆 I'll try that but that's strange that helps make planting faster

[clever frost]

Here's a post I made earlier.

It's not that it's "quicker" it just allows the walking animation to be smoother, which in turn causes less janky walking. Even if it saves .02 of a second it will all add up!

[lone zenith]

Interesting!

[quick crow]

How do you trap the companion in a cage?

[clever frost]

I'm glad you asked! get a fence and build it round where they were stood, I usually try and get them to stand on a flower or hole as a marker. here's the end result https://youtu.be/YhARXsQquIQ

[quick crow]

Thanks so much Rid!

[clever frost]

no worries! Just make sure you **never **do it on a switch... It might catch on fire!

[quick crow]

is there a quicker way of digging? XD

[clever frost]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-gif-23756243

[quick crow]

worth a try

[clever frost]

Weigh down the button and go on your phone 🤣

[quick crow]

It's the energy i struggle with

only lvl 27

[clever frost]

Best way to do it is make some Soufflé in Remy's and use those, they'll 100% fill up your bar and then some with just 1 at a time.

Make as many as you think you'll need for the amount of holes you're digging.

[quick crow]

I just made a tone to make money haha. I'll do that once I have some canola

[clever frost]

All the things you need to make a Soufflé you can buy in remy's for 820 coins

Soufflé also sell for more than 1200

[quick crow]

Ah i probs need to upgrade

[earnest river]

That’s less than a soufle im pretty sure

[earnest river]

I want to note that there’s a small bug when digging and harvesting multiple. Usually the camera pans down slowly. If you are as high as the camera goes, if wort be a 3-5 second pause between action anymore

[clever frost]

Yeah true however it takes about 30 minutes to plant and water 700 pumpkins, another 5 to water them the second time and then another 15 to harvest.

Soufflés also requires you getting coal either manually mining it or buying from Kristoff

[verbal magnet]

Make a large space:
1: make all carrots. Have a gardening buddy.
2: convert carrots to entire canola farm.
3: convert canola to entire pumpkin farm.
4: always fill your farm back with full crops before spending money on other stuff so you don't have to go back steps.
Special: have a new buddy while you plant and water - gives a TON of free xp to a task that wouldn't otherwise benifit any buddy

[earnest river]

Coal is effortless though

[full crescent]

If you have finished Kristoff quest line his bottom row of the cart rotates between 6 items for now... coal being one of them

[warped breach]

I got like five shiny peridots in a row while doing a mission for Scrooge.

[outer breach]

geez, nice one

[warped breach]

Yeah, except that I needed REGULAR Peridots.

[outer breach]

well hey, sell the shinies to goofy and keep mining 😄

[rugged wolf]

Looks like 410 per Soufflé

Based on the cooking document from Recipe help https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J6PY7KYoJB9jW2z7MEdz59I6HHXryfWBUQ108Jw1vPU/edit#gid=0 if you are farming pumpkins you can mix them with eggs and cheese for even more profit

[clever frost]

You can take into consideration the cost of coal from Kristoff (I've not had it yet so if anyone knows it that would be great)

[full crescent]

cost of coal is 5 @clever frost

[manic crater]

Just wanna say I made 300k from 550 asparagus planted 👀 it's a long wait but requires less watering than canola and let's you do more other things while waiting for it!! It's a good jump between canola and pumpkins

[granite fable]

Also one of the higher meals to keep energy up is a lobster roll idk cost efficiency but def cheaper than soufflé if you have the ingredients! Does require butter. 4900 energy and sells for 1900 coins

[earnest river]

Would be better to just sell pumpkins and then do soufflés in my opinion but /shrug

[full crescent]

if you made the pumpkins might as well turn them into puffs if you're going to cook.. don't waste time doing souffles at that point.

[earnest river]

Waste time? It takes less time to do one soufle than one pumpkin. Not sure I follow

What’s the actual profit amount if you do pumpkin puffs?

[full crescent]

I am saying if people already have the pumkins and are going to cook souffles they might as well make puffs and save themselves time

[earnest river]

Why use a pumpkin you waited hours for though?

[full crescent]

because the profit on puffs is like 720 I can't remember

[rose mantle]

Re: actual profit from Pumpkin Puffs

Please see the calc below!! Thank you to @clever frost for the numbers!! 💕

[grave leaf]

This makes a huge difference. I double my gems supply this way!

Thanks for all these tips ! One thing I was doing was catching blue or gold fish and making fish sandwiches. Make profit that way too. But not as efficient as these tips.

[clever frost]

I think you’re a little off but in the right direction! So let’s go for 1 or each:

Costs:
🌱 Pumpkin seed: -275
🥚 Egg: -220
🧀 Cheese: -180
⚫️ Coal: -5
Total: -680
Profits:
🍽️ Pumpkin Puff: 1400

So 1400 - 680 = 720!
x 50 = 36,000
x 100 = 72,000

Now this is more time consuming but if you have the time it’s worth it!

So that’s an additional profit of 341 per pumpkin seed if you can be bothered to do all this cooking! (47% increase in profit 📈)

[silent jewel]

Now that I finally unlocked pumpkins it’s much easier than canola and seems to be a much better return on my time than okra. I had initially preferred okra as it’s only one watering, but I was never able to accumulate more than 30,000. Now I’m at 500k after just two sessions of pumpkins and that’s after fully updating Remy, Scrooge, Moana’s boat and Wall-e’s garden. So yeah, pumpkins.

I don’t have the patience to make soufflés or cook to get a higher return. Not when pumpkins are so profitable.

[sonic lynx]

I sell a lot of potatoes (relatively speaking - only around 55 a go lol) if I'm planning on spending more time playing, since having them grow in 35 minutes gives me something to do if I don't have a lot going on in game atm. I've taken to growing pumpkins instead when I'm not spending as much time in-game because they take longer and require less frequent watering.

Good to know about the souffles and pumpkin puffs! If cooking could make more than one item at a time I'd be rushing to it 🥲

[agile spruce]

I turned the entirety of sunlight plat into a pumpkin farm, makes over 1.5m when they are grown. takes nearly 2 hours to harvest then recrop but its worth it imo. WARNING: If you do this, expect lag and the nightmare of knowing you will be patching the holes one day.

[rich bone]

I'm seeing this and wondering if I can get a copy. I've only got the medow, forest of Valor and dazzle Beach unlocked. So no pumpkins for me. I'm not sure what would be best for me.

[silent jewel]

Actually if you leave the holes alone for 72 hours they should just disappear automatically. Huge benefit if you’re done harvesting in such bulk. But huge irritation if you want to reuse the planting field later.

[modern sigil]

did this on glade of trust, got around 5 million coins

[clever frost]

From what you have unlocked I’d say Canola!

[grave leaf]

All the holes 😭😭😭

[clever frost]

Just be careful as that area will be home to some characters in the next big patch, so your holes might go bye bye if they need to reset the area for quests to work!

[rose mantle]

OH!! Thank you for correcting me, my maths 😭😂
So we make MORE money, I like this better

I'll clean out my other comment just to make space 💕

[clever frost]

I know that @full crescent has a google sheet full of all sorts of helpful information! Check out the pinned comments in #archived-share-your-hints

[rich bone]

Okay, Canola... but... what is the strategy for that anyways? Like how do I know where to plant or how many to plant?

[full crescent]

Canola Seeds bought in Forest of Valor, You'll want to plant there for 10% grow time decrease and grow time is normally 35 mins.. it has 4 water phases you you'll literally have to babysit the plot.. (will probably drop to 3 waters in the forest)

Personally I'd do some dreamlight duties and open up the glade to get okra 🙂

[zealous hearth]

I'm an Okra convert as well! I tried Canola once and it requires too much babysitting. Okra works much better as a "set it and forget it" crop.

[warped breach]

Yup

[earnest river]

Okra is one water?

[zealous hearth]

Yep! It takes 2 hours to grow and only requires one water.

[earnest river]

What’s the profit compared to pumpkins?

[zealous hearth]

Pumpkins are king for profits, but Okra is great if you haven't unlocked the biome for pumpkins yet. This is a rough estimate since I'm not in-game but I can buy 100-150 bags of Okra for 14k and earn 65k when I sell the crop back.

[twilit pine]

🚫 OlympicYear, that command is disabled in this channel.

[cyan canopy]

how many time do you need to water Pumpkins? 4?

[full crescent]

2

[earnest river]

Oh thank you. That’s not a very steep profit so I’ll stick with soufflés and pumpkin puffs

[agile spruce]

For anyone doing massive farms: If you decide to stop using them, do not fill the holes manually but instead place a home or large object ontop of the holes and then remove the house/ large object away again. this will remove the holes without the need of long patch sessions.

[clever frost]

Or just leave them for 72 hours 😛

[earnest river]

🤔 this doesn’t really have much to do with the topic though

[clever frost]

Well the most efficient way to make money is farms (really big farms) so someone might want to know this information. Is it about making money, no. Is it related to something about making money, yes.

[vital zephyr]

Souffles are as fast if not faster than pumpkin puffs and only require the cooking part instead of the waiting for pumpkins to harvest part and then cooking on top of that (Assuming you turn your pumpkins into pumpkin puffs). Here's the math:
Time (5 seconds per food)
I can cook a Souffle in 5 seconds or rather WE can cook ANYTHING in 5 seconds, the animation to autofill takes up between 1.2 to 1.5 seconds, the delay before you can hit the 'cook' button is about roughly 1 second or less, the animation at the end before you can skip the 'cook done' process is between 2 to 2.3 seconds Therefore, it takes an optimized maximum of 5 seconds to cook anything. This is measured precisely using a software so it's rather accurate to say it takes an average of 5 seconds or less if you spam the buttons.

You can buy all the ingredients from Remy's at 820 total which is 1 cheese (180), 1 milk (230), 1 egg (220), 1 butter (190). Each souffle sells for 1230, making a tidy profit of 410. Throw in coal from Kristoff for 5 gold per piece and that only brings profit down to 405.

This means you get a profit of 4860 per minute and 291,600 per hour. Multiplied by 4 hours because that's how long pumpkins takes to harvest and you've got a tidy 1,166,400 coins. Assuming you prefer purely button mashing for four hours over roughly 15-30 minutes of planting, watering, idling/doing other work, watering again, finally harvesting the pumpkins then COOKING them, you still gain a much higher profit than cooking pumpkin puffs.

By the by, holding 500 of each of these 4 ingredients takes up most of a fully upgraded bag minus some other extra slots. it takes roughly 40-50 minutes to cook 500 souffles.

So it's roughly I'd say 200k profit per hour realistically. Plus a 10-20 minute break in between for you to do whatever you want and then a realistic 800k profit in the time it takes to grow pumpkins, or rather a 1 million coin profit after all the planting, watering, harvesting, cooking of pumpkin puffs.

[clever frost]

Yeah that's correct! But it's more involved. The only thing with this is it's constant activity for 4 hours, where are pumpkins it's plant (600 takes 30 minutes) then water again so then harvest, so around an hour and 15 minutes active time.

[wispy kayak]

so for the record pumpkin platters are better then puffs

[vital zephyr]

How much does it sell for? Pumpkin platters are just veggie platters right?

[wispy kayak]

2785 for a veggie platter with pumpkins. minus the cheese/egg price your making 1089 on a puff. so sure you can make 200ish more coins off a puff but your also using 3 times the coal and three times the cooking time, I prefer being rich and only having to cook 1/3 the amount of food .

[verbal magnet]

Doesn't using more items per dish had diminishing returns? Like more items add less each addition to both coin and energy.

Also cooking is an absolute trudge right now. You can be rich without the pain of clicking around the repotition stove for 30 + minutes.

I believe a single large scale crop of pumpkins ( about 2-300) will pay for most things. Do it a few times to Also Max Wallee and moanas stands. After that you can harvest once every few days to keep the shop bought out.

[dim aspen]

bring a fishing buddy with you to forgotten lands and go farm for angler fish!! making pan-fried angler fish and selling it at goofy’s stall gives you 2500 per meal!! the recipe is angler fish, tomato, zucchini, and potato 😊

[viral prairie]

A Large Seafood Platter made with 1 lemon and 4 squids sells for 3,252 per meal.

[outer birch]

i totally forgot about this...lifesaver! :D

[verbal magnet]

When I saw the info graph on the timer, its roughly 5% faster. Not a huge improvement. But some.

Also double checking on my diminishing returns post- any additional stuff added to a dish - is like selling that item by itself. So it actually doesn't do anything special. You'd be better off making base dishes and selling any additional items on their own than spend time adding additional items.

[tulip jackal]

Do pumpkins grow faster in sunlit plateu or forgotten lands?

[clever frost]

Forgotten lands

[versed hollow]

How much faster do they grow because the game says they grow in 4 hours. Or does that mean if you don’t grow them in the forgotten lands they are going to take longer than 4 hours?

[atomic sentinel]

How do you make the pumpkin veggie platters each time. Do you click the pumpkins each time or is there a way to set the auto fill to pumpkins?

[wispy kayak]

Click them each time, If you wanted to be efficient you could sell all your other veggies and only carry pumpkins then you would be able to autocraft them

I deff brought that up in suggestions it's cool that you can open your inventory from anywhere but I wish it was contained in your house and let's say you had to bring ingredients to cook at remys

[mystic plinth]

I’m not sure but I grow okra in the glade and it definitely takes 2 hours. I would think it either takes longer or maybe requires more watering maybe ?

[mystic plinth]

You can select a recipe and then hit select or something to auto fill that recipe might be a little faster

[verbal magnet]

problem is many items can be selected for most recipes. we dont reamakes it select something. i assume its from inventory, then somehow starts grabbing from total chest space.

[warped breach]

Which biome is best for growing eggplants?

[verbal magnet]

The biome you buy them from

But its only a small increase. Grow them wherever.

[silent jewel]

Growth is 10% faster in the originating biome. Someone ran tests in one of the earlier posts. So for pumpkins it’s 4 hours everywhere but the forgotten lands, and 3 hours and 36 minutes in the forgotten lands.

Personally I use the other biomes for growing because it’s easier to not have all the trees in the way. I like the beach and meadow for growing. Open spaces.

[verbal magnet]

Just obliterate the trees and make it all farmland! You only need 2-3 trees per biome.

[silent jewel]

I like the ambiance so I don’t change too much

I have plots of 100-200 at the beach, meadow, sunlit plateau and glade. It’s plenty.

[warped breach]

The abundance of trees in some biomes make them feel like mazes.

[silent jewel]

The only land I get turned around in is forgotten lands but I love the spooky vibe so I’m just giving myself time to get used to it.

I just wish the trees would go transparent when you get close so it’s easier to navigate.

[verbal magnet]

it may get better when we can remove the green fire as well. less junk stuff. but yeah the trees will mess up the camera completely when too heavily forested.

[weak crater]

what should i sell

[verbal magnet]

Early game Carrots, middle game canola, late game pumpkins.

[weak crater]

kk

[silent jewel]

I personally preferred okra to canola for mid-game crops because okra is water once but canola requires water four times. I got really annoyed at all the watering.

[weak crater]

what's that

[silent jewel]

One of the crops you can grow is okra. It takes much less work than canola, which is another crop you unlock midway through the game. So early game I grew carrots, then okra when I unlocked it, then pumpkins.

[weak crater]

i don't think i have that

[silent jewel]

Okra seeds are sold by goofy in the glade of trust. I can’t remember if you need to level up that goofy stall to unlock okra though.

[weak crater]

kk

[limber heart]

This was shared on fb, I think it would belong here. A pretty good guide for profiting off of pumpkin!

[verbal magnet]

Adding any additional pumpkins are a waste of time and effort as additional items. It's like cooking 1 pumpkin and selling 4 regular.

[quasi galleon]

hi, may i ask is it better to sell these crops right away or should i cook/craft them into something for more profits?

[vital zephyr]

If you have coal and time, cook. If you have neither, just sell the crops as is

[quasi galleon]

any particular recipe that you recommend? 😄

[vital zephyr]

As stated above the easiest would be pumpkin veggie platter with 3 pumpkins. Or pumpkin puffs. The rest aren’t too particular useful for selling. For energy I always stock up on lemon fruit salad because it recovers a decent amount but I’ve since swapped to soufflés since I can buy all the ingredients and it sells for a profit, so I sell enough to break even for keeping a stack or two for personal use. Otherwise, I also did the usual route for selling carrots with 200-300 crop plots before moving onto canolas then finally pumpkins. I did side track a little growing other things like tomatoes and potatoes for a while though. My advice? Don’t worry so much about that 10% crop grows faster in different realms stuff. It only matters until you reach like pumpkins, it decreases the growth time from 4 hours to 3 hours and 36 minutes. Anything else and it’s really not that big of a deal. Grow crops wherever you want.

However if you want massive profits, just grow large amounts of crops. They’re the best way to earn coins as far as I know of now.

[verbal magnet]

With a gardening buddy^ since it almost doubles yield

[vital zephyr]

With multiple gardening buddies it’s guaranteed double yield and slight chance of tripling. Usually in between at 2.5x

I have 10 max level gardening buddies. Of course, always remember to bring one along when you harvest though.

[verbal magnet]

Uhh... what you mean multiple? You can only have one follower.

[vital zephyr]

The buff stacks. The more gardening buddies you have, the more the bonus so long as you bring one along.

When you grab a buddy, pull up the buffs menu thing, the last two lines will say something along the lines of "For every villager" etc. etc.

[verbal magnet]

That seems broken.

[vital zephyr]

I don't remember the exact words and I deleted the screenshot I took but indeed, for every role, the more buddies you have at high levels, the higher the chance of double you have up until the point you can even triple it.

It does seem broken but it works, 100%. I always double my crops at bare minimum.

[verbal magnet]

Good way to break your game if you max one system and ignore the others.

I feel like some villagers shouldn't have a choice on job then. So a player can't dig themselves in a hole on accident

[fathom wing]

I got lost.... Whats more profitable pumpkin puffs or veggie platter with pumpkins? the numbers make my eyes go fuzzy lol

[verbal magnet]

Puffs r better.

[full crescent]

Do you know who created that chart

[neat finch]

The creators username is on it

[full crescent]

oh I only saw the clip SXE posted so didn't see that

[neat finch]

I came from another message where you had asked after a link that showed the full thing

[full crescent]

I didn't click on the link I went right to the channel lol

[cerulean pond]

First of all, omg, this is amazing. And secondly, can I have access to this sheet please? or a offline duplicate one, I would love to play with some parameters and filter

[strange phoenix]

Cool them into pumpkin puffs with 3 pumpkins then the other ingredients, you’ll profit more off each pumpkin

[strange phoenix]

Try putting three pumpkins in your puffs. It’s a good way to get extra profit without having to buy additional eggs and cheese. The three pumpkin puff sells for 2817.

[verbal magnet]

adding additional anything to a recipe only nets you flat $$ its worth. so its like selling pumpkins by themself

[full crescent]

Not to mention extra time to just add them

[verbal magnet]

so literally its a net negative^

[full crescent]

Nobody want's to listen 😂

[verbal magnet]

same for most of these offspring channels

i quit helping people fix their foraging issues. its 99% "move well to other side of bridge"

[cerulean pond]

What's a good veggie to sell mid-game? I dont have onions yet

[full crescent]

okra is really good if you have The Glade open.

[cerulean pond]

Yes! I have okra, will try that one

[tulip jackal]

is there a way to cook the 3 pumpkin veggie platter without having to drag the pumpkins in every time

like an autofill option

[full crescent]

No That's why Puffs is one of the better options cuz it autofills

[lean raven]

There is not. Puffs are more profitable than pumpkin platters though

[warped breach]

They lowered the profit for pumpkins??

Wait, maybe I'm confusing profit with sell price.

[rich bone]

Q: Would one recommend using a script/macro/autoclicker, etc? or would that get one banned or something?
Cause I have 1k pumpkins to turn into puffs and i don't have a lot of time to sit around and cook them. ^^;;

[rich bone]

agreed, but i've noticed that when cooking: using a controller automatically puts the item in the pot vs keyboard which one has to drag and drop. 🤔

[verbal magnet]

at 1 k just sell the pumpkins, you have more than enough money to just sit on a pile of gold.

[lone dune]

Any quick ways to make the coins I’m going to need to make loads for upgrades

[proud sentinel]

If you scroll up, there are several suggestions that don't take too long. Good luck!

[lone dune]

I’ve looked and most things say pumpkins but don’t have them available yet

[proud sentinel]

Ah, my apologies! I was running around mining with a buddy. I think fishing might be more profitable, though, especially once your buddy is a higher level. I would also collect all the fruit I came across and sell it.

[verbal magnet]

Any sort of farming is best. Carrots are your early bread and butter with a gardening buddy.

[iron hornet]

Selling canola plants and gems atm

[fathom wing]

Whats the best way to profit off fish? Should I sell them outright or cook em up? (im trying to do the math but numbers make my brain fuzzy)

[verbal magnet]

Cooking adds more money but takes time.

[warped breach]

I'm trying to think about what the most profitable thing to do is now Post-update. I know rubies are the gem that gives the most star coins (regular and shiny rubies), but would mining rubies be the best way now?

[verbal magnet]

In-between planting and harvesting pumpkins, maybe.

[jovial pilot]

So there seems to be a graph going around with a lot of misinformation on it about profit for growing and selling crops. I'd like to put up an accurate one. The numbers in the white can be found in the game.

[silver spade]

what makes fast coin? planting wise

[verbal magnet]

Fast - pumpkins seems to be the go to. Early game carrots. Middle game is a little more of preference. Just pick something and use a gardening buddy.

[verbal magnet]

Just for sake of a full context - you should also add the 10% speed if grown in the correct zone. I believe any crop purchased in a zone can also be grown 10% faster. You get a little green up arrow indicating when planting.

Or - better yet - if this is an interactive chart- you can add a checkmark and make it swap to a 10% model. Wouldn't take a lot to do.

Cotton should also caviot that it's not ment for profit- it's made for fabric specifically. What's the profit margin on 1 fabric?

[jovial pilot]

If I did that I wouldn't be using numbers found in the game. Don't want to be accused of making up numbers.

[jovial pilot]

Check the chart I put up. It shows you everything you need to know.

[verbal magnet]

The game tells you they go faster in their zone.

By not painting the full picture you might as well be giving off bad information.

[jovial pilot]

What the graph is is the minimum you get. If you want one with faster times feel free to make one yourself. Also I did see you give out some misinformation to someone asking so I guess you would know misinformation when you see it.

[verbal magnet]

Where? No need to be snarky- this grgh you've created in plastered by multiple people at this point, and most have a second section with local grow times as well.

[jovial pilot]

Somebody need to reread some rules.

[verbal magnet]

here ya go friend.

[silver spade]

^ been doing that as planning on using storage in each area and storing where they’re from

[silver spade]

i am finding mining more profitable

[verbal magnet]

Depends on yoir crops and your farm size. After I got closer to 150 squares ot felt like my farming was way better. Especially with farm buddy later in game at high levels. Early early game I thought mining was more profitable as well. Once you get asparagus or canola, farming felt superior.

[lone dune]

I’ve found that onions are a real good way to make star coins I’ve over 300 left to plant

[stone fulcrum]

Good evening everyone

What do you think. Is this worth it?

[silent jewel]

I find growing pumpkins to be the most cost effective use of my time. Big profits, little of my actual time needed.

While the grow time is four hours (or a little less inside the forgotten lands), broken up into two hour blocks with watering needed to restart the growing clock, it doesn’t take much time/effort from me. I let them grow while doing other things.

If you want to constantly do something, growing carrots is more profitable per minute of grow time, but you have to constantly plant/water/harvest. Whereas you can walk away from pumpkins for two hours and do other things.

Edit - mining and fishing are not efficient ways to earn money because there’s no guarantee of a profitable gem in every node, (or rare fish) and it takes a long time to loop around to every node/fishing spot. I sell extras if I’m doing mining or fishing for the star path or Dreamlight duties, but I don’t mine or fish for profit.

[warped breach]

Thank you for the info. 🙂

[forest sphinx]

As someone who used to farm okra constantly, I found converting to pumpkins is for sure the way to go. I even go as far as cooking them into puffs when kristoff sells coal. I've basically tripled my profits in the time I would in two okra harvests since one pumpkin batch is two of those. Helps with those cooking memories too since they're a little more rare than I expected.

Okra is very good for go to bed wake up to get the coins for your daily shopping but long term saving for sure do pumpkins.

It does depend on your playstyle though. I don't like babysitting crops too much as I tend to my village a lot for having excess resources on hand. I'm sure there's more profit for high maintenance crops. But if you like doing your own thing during the wait, my above blurb is a big recommendation

[jovial pilot]

When it comes to harvesting you should do your research and run some numbers. After that play the way you want. Everyone seems all about pumpkins but what isn't being said is if you add in the bonuses you get for harvesting with a friend it's actually the 2nd least profitable crop because of the 4 hour wait time.

[forest sphinx]

Yeah really depends on how you play.

[wraith remnant]

So what is the most profitable crop if you want to plant it before you jump off for the day and harvest when you start again the next day? Is it really just Okra? Seems like a waste of the long volume of time away from the game between sleep and work (school for the kids)...

[jovial pilot]

It's not pumpkins. You would have to water and wait 2 hours after you jump on.

[tropic dune]

I use a macro (though someone was insisting it was a mod even though it isn't, by definition) for cooking large amounts of puffs. If I just need to hit a certain number for the dreamlight collection then it's easy enough to make a few. But, when I'm trying to do other things, I pull the game up on the PC and set it to cook while I go about life.

[spark bobcat]

is mining and using coal for souffle more efficient than farming?

i mean mining can get u gems and coals, and souffle cooking take less than 10 minutes

[spark bobcat]

it says in the TOS, ur not allowed to do that, as in any other game. it is considered botting. but hey, if the dev is not making a fuss about it, i guess its ok.

[tropic dune]

You're reading way too much into that - that is in reference to software such as atmosphere or hektate - things that actually modify the coding of the game. Using a macro does none of those things. Using an auto clicker does none of those things. It simply automates a process that is already there in the game. The game is still working exactly as intended, just at a different speed - there's nothing saying I can't click that fast. I just don't wanna

It's not a mod - by definition

[spark bobcat]

i didn't say its a mod, it's more like having a bot to play for you. its like having someone run a marathon then tell everyone u did it.

[opaque barn]

Except it's not a marathon and it's a video game and people can play how they want for a game they paid money for at the end of the day.

[unkempt schooner]

Please do not try to get around the bot filter for words.
Also, please ensure all discussions are done respectfully.

What’s a good way to get star coins I’ve not got all the biomes unlocked yet and not a big fan of mining

[kindred tulip]

For me it’s fishing and flowers (mining helps too) but I also make sure I have one of my companions with the skill to get me more of whatever I’m doing. I just started playing a few days ago but I’ve been able to knock out 10,000 in an hour before

[stiff isle]

I'm a big fan of growing things (in small batches, no more than 30 at a time at first) Different things, to get the speed up bonus, in each biome. I personally Like Carrots for very early game, as they have a very high return on investment, but you do have to upgrade the stall in the meadow all the way to get the seeds. So, while you're waiting for the crops (either Carrots, or whatever you can afford while waiting for the coins to come in) to grow, ChrisHero's suggestion is good. I will note though that early game flowers don't sell for a ton, but all flowers respawn fairly quickly.

[lone dune]

Such a good idea I think I planted onions an bad carrots before I went to sleep

[stiff isle]

It happens. If I don't think to drop off my extra seeds in their proper chests from one biome at planting time before moving to the next, I'm always worried I'll do it again lol.

[lone dune]

Was tired soo I can’t exactly remember

[stiff isle]

There's also an issue we see a fair bit over in #dreamlight-help about crops taking longer than anticipated to water, so just keep on watering that lil' thing, until it's ready for harvest, whatever it is! 😅

[lone dune]

What other ways is there to make star coins besides planting watering and harvesting crops ik I probably sound dumb even tho I’ve been playing since release

[stiff isle]

You're not dumb. If farming isn't really your jam, maybe fishing or mining might be more for you? I do believe that, overall, you'll get the highest returns in coins on crops, especially late game, but again, everyone's play style is different, and that's ok 🙂

[lone dune]

I’m farming aha but the crops take forever to grow in hah

[stiff isle]

Some do take a long time, I tend to find other activities to do in the mean time. Quests/Star Path (if available to me), Mining (you can never have enough iron!), fishing if it's rainy (gimmie them Fugu!), and on and on

[neon prism]

Do you guys turn your pumpkin into a meal or do you just sell pumpkins as they are?

[toxic moon]

Fishing - with a buddy - in the Forgotten Lands can be highly lucrative, I've found. The rate of new bubbles spawning there is over-the-top. Although I think I've noticed that they may have tweaked that slightly in some update... Still, between the two ponds, you can get a lot of great fish, and then get another third or so more by having a buddy.

Also, some of the fish you catch there, like sole, lancetfish, angler fish, can be cooked into meals that are worth A LOT. Granted, you'll also need some other ingredients for that idea. If you don't have them or just don't want to bother cooking stuff up, just sell the fish out-right. It will still make you some good money.

[lone dune]

I don’t have forgotten lands yet

[toxic moon]

Oh! Another way to get money is to visit Moana's boat as often as you can during your day and then sell the fish you get there. Same for WALL-E's garden - between the two of them, you'll get about $6000-ish at Goofy's stall.

Ah, no Forgotten Lands. OK, keep that idea on the shelf till later. 😄 What DO you have unlocked?

[lone dune]

I not have moana yet either

[stiff isle]

dani is still a new, new resident in our Valley 🙂

[lone dune]

Yep the amount of times I’ve lost my face is uncountable aha bit annoying really but idm lol I’ll get the villagers I’m missing soon enough

[dense sable]

My friend was just telling me this that crops grow where they were from, I didn't noticed until now. So thank u guys

[terse prawn]

they grow 10% faster, which isn't a big thing unless you can stand right there and water them the instant they need it. 🙂 Otherwise, just plant them wherever you like.

[toxic moon]

Oh! Well, welcome @lone dune !! 🤝

[lone dune]

I’m not like fully new she means new new in the game

[toxic moon]

Yes. I got that - but I should have said "Welcome to the Valley!" to be more clear! LOL

[maiden trail]

O c h r a.

Plant and harvest 100 ochra with at least 3 gardeners present in your valley. My last harvest netted me 45k. If you dont have forgotten lands and pumpkin puffs yet Ochra is your dream cash crop. It takes awhile to grow but it only requires ONE water. You have to upgrade goofy's stall in the glade all the way to pretty much guarantee seeds every day, but it is WORTH IT

[white venture]

Wait what do you mean see a green arrow?

[terse prawn]

When you buy seeds and you go to plant them, in their native biome the seed will have a green arrow on the bag when you go to plant it. Not in your inventory, but when you have a hole dug and go to plant it in there. They grow 10% faster there but I'll be honest, unless you're going to be there ready to harvest the instant they need water or harvested, it doesn't make a huge difference. 🙂

[verbal magnet]

^ - like 10 days late

[balmy egret]

How did you do this Omg

[stone fulcrum]

Good evening everyone. I would like to make easy gpdl to buy items in scourge shop and to upgrade buildings. Got sny tips for me?

Why I ask is I work during the day.

[fast crown]

I'm doing a live stream today and am very open to trying any suggestions you guys have on stream. We can run some experiments together on which ways work fastest! I have 0 star coins and am hoping to make 1 million in 1 day! (linking to the stream in #share-your-ddlv-content once I'm live)

[wicked pelican]

One of the ways I earn star coins is fishing the blue & golf bubbles 🙂

[calm lake]

I have Scrooge too for the same, mining, lol, I think Scrooge is the perfect for that task

[dark seal]

3 gardeners can’t you only have one friend with you at a time?

[terse prawn]

yes, but you get a bonus to skills based on how many villagers have that role

[dark seal]

Ooh ok thanks

[pine bridge]

Just 5 stacks of pumpkins and a 3-4 hour wait.

[fast crown]

It took about an hour to earn enough star coins for the seeds and then I was flying! My current 0 to 1 million speed run record is just under 6 hours. It may be the first Dreamlight Valley star coin speedrun that has been posted yet and there is a lot of room for optimization for sure. Open to any suggestions 🙂

[pine bridge]

Including digging?

[fast crown]

For me yes, how many star coins do you usually get when you dig? I only have one digging buddy and as we have tested for in #1036662627734147102 the companion bonus stacks. Is there an additional star coin bonus the more digging buddies you have? (I never thought to test for this, as I usually only dig up 2 to 5 star coins when I dig up a gold)

[pine bridge]

A lot of these coins are merely 10, and around 110 if it's a coin chest. I find it so little i don't really pay any attention to these coins 😅

[rapid sundial]

welp... after this coal nerf, guess I'm back to selling just pumpkins and not pumpkin puffs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[harsh nacelle]

What's the best (and very easy) meal to cook besides the souffle to make a huge deal of money? I haven't unlocked the forgotten lands and pumpkins yet, but I'm in need of some more coins.

[fast crown]

4 squid and a lemon = 5 star large seafood platter

or 2 pumpkins, ginger and milk for a very expensive pumpkin soup (ginger can be harvested in the forgotten lands)

[harsh nacelle]

How much does those two go for?

[fast crown]

Not sure off the top of my head, thousand though for sure.
The squid Large Seafood Platter is significantly more profitable as they cost nothing to make, but the pumpkin soup’s ingredients are easier to come by.

[harsh nacelle]

Does one of goofy's stall sell pumpkins?

[fast crown]

The forgotten lands stall sells the pumpkins (but buy the pumpkin seeds, not the pumpkins or you will be losing money)

[harsh nacelle]

Oh, I haven't unlocked the forgotten lands yet

[fast crown]

ah, im sorry just read that you havent unlocked forgotten lands
The 4 squid plus a lemon is likely the most profitable dish

O wait, 4 lobster plus a lemon

[harsh nacelle]

Is there lobsters on sell somewhere then?

[fast crown]

Squid are easier to find though - just go fishin in the glade of trust (lobster and squid are both there)

Also, if you have unlocked || Moana’s fishing boat, she will regularly be providing you with fish and seafood) ||

There are no fish or sea creatures for sale in the game at all unfortunately.
However, in the glade of trust, okra seeds are for sale and they are an easier crop to manage as they only need to he watered once.

There may be a slight profit boost to cooking the okra, but it would probably be wiser to save your coal for higher selling dishes since it has become slightly harder to come by after this recent patch.

[harsh nacelle]

I have Moana's boat, but is there anything else that can sell for alot?

[fast crown]

Hmm 🤔

Have you unlocked Chez Remy? (Butter, eggs, milk, slush ice, peanuts)

[harsh nacelle]

I have, but I don't have the slush ice and the peanuts

[fast crown]

Eggplant Puffs
Ingredients: Eggplant, Egg, Cheese
Energy: 1941 | Sale Price: 991

Omelet
Ingredients: Egg, Cheese, Milk
Energy: 1751 | Sale Price: 882

[harsh nacelle]

Where did you get the eggplant?

[fast crown]

Actually, forget that one go with the basil one instead:

Basil Omelet
Ingredients: Egg, Cheese, Milk, Basil
Energy: 2035 | Sale Price: 982

[fast crown]

Frosted Heights

[harsh nacelle]

That actually sounds easy to make, where can I get the Basil again?

[fast crown]

The Peaceful Meadow 🙂

[harsh nacelle]

Does goofy sell them?

[fast crown]

They are just randomly spawning around- there should be around 10 if you haven’t collected them recently

[harsh nacelle]

Ok how long until they respawn?

[fast crown]

I’m not sure. If you are up for it, can you set a timer and run around looking for them? If you do post your findings in #1036662627734147102
I think a lot of us would like more info on how the ground harvestables spawn. It would be super helpful!

[harsh nacelle]

Sure, I'll try

How about shiny gems? How much are those when you sell them? @fast crown

[balmy egret]

I told You the method i use dear.

[balmy egret]

Goofy’s nor Kristoff’s stalls sell basil and oregano and mint,vanilla and ginger. They grow in their biomes

[harsh nacelle]

Oh, I guess I forgot, sorry

[balmy egret]

No worries also garlic

[harsh nacelle]

Garlic?

[balmy egret]

Yes there is garlic in the game

[harsh nacelle]

Oh yeah, but what do I need for it?

[dull ivy]

The nerf to the gem selling prices is killing me ☠️

[dull ivy]

Garlic is used in several recipes, such as the pickled herring from Arendell which gives a good deal of energy to your character.

It grows wild in the forest of Valor 😁

[balmy egret]

Sorry i lost your ping 😦

[harsh nacelle]

It's ok

[balmy egret]

It appeared and poofed like a fast spark

[fast crown]

You’re welcome

[lavish zinc]

I sell eggplants it also gives a good profit u for every 50 harvest u get around 17k i hope this helps u dont use the time hop feature like what happen to me you wont be able to harvest it anymore in the new update

[near valve]

I plant over 1,400 pumpkins before work and bed. Making over 700k coins usually

[meager atlas]

I just did not realize how lucrative farming could be. I am 56 hours in, unlocked every biome 50% on maxing friendships. Now I want to make more money and realized that this place has all the info.

The math you all do for this is intense but so many props to those who took the time to figure this all out.

[misty wren]

hey guys, can someone join my server please talk about dreamlight valley of getting star coins

[terse prawn]

We do not promote other servers here. You can ask in here for ways to make star coins, you can read back through some other posts, but you cannot promote other servers. Thank you!

[balmy egret]

@wanton cloak

[balmy egret]

Just found this channel now - awesome! 🤩 😂 I'm in the early stages of the game but making star coins seems to take forever! hoping there's some good tips to be found here to help speed things up 😄

[terse prawn]

In the early stages, okra is good for profit. You can also sell your shiny gems - one shiny garnet is needed for a quest, and you might hold a few in reserve for favorite items, but otherwise sell them. Fishing is not as profitable, but coins are coins. 🙂

[kind path]

Making a fruit cake using 2 gooseberry and 1 blue Berry fills all of the yellow energy meter

[dawn sky]

Now that Kristoff stall got nerfed? Selling pumpkins.

[olive oracle]

Is there a pinned summary of all the best ways to make money efficiently? So far im reading that

• selling pumpkins, onions, okra
• making and selling souffles
• mining and selling gems

[dawn sky]

Before the update, selling pumpkins puffs. Now: just sell the pumpkins, because you will need lots of coal.

[iron flare]

Same. I didn't realize I'd stopped collecting it as much because I had so much and now I have none. Just selling large swatches of pumpkins now

[dense cedar]

Don't open Scrooge's Shop right away, and you can build up your money into the millions. I found that to be a good strategy, as I got up to over 4 Million before I opened his shop.

[topaz lake]

Looking into this channel shows me I really should get a wiggle on with making crop areas in the different zones

[terse prawn]

A fair warning: the 10% decrease in time is really only going to matter if you're right there as soon as they need watered and are ready to harvest. 🙂

[topaz lake]

in that case may just keep them in front of my house in the plaza, I've still got some quests to play through so just growing crops for coins so I can decorate my house and valley after I'm up to date

[terse prawn]

Yeah, I have mine in front of my house since I'm near there a lot

[topaz lake]

I'm the same as its a quick energy replenish plus my crafting table and stove is nearby along with a chest of meals

thank u

[cursive wolf]

I sell lots of pumpkins now haha. One of the best money makers

[simple vessel]

i dont have pumpkin seeds yet

[restive pier]

You could start planting carrots if you are really on the beginning. If you have okra seeds or canola seeds unlocked you can plant one of them or both. Just make farms big enough for you to not get bored and you'll have enough money to unlock pumpkins in no time

[simple vessel]

[lone dune]

I’ve just unlocked remys restaurant and got to make soufflés is that a quicker way to make star coins besides carrots

[junior plover]

I'm not sure because of the cost of the ingredients and the need for coal but I am certainly not an expert.

[shell tartan]

you're utilizing coal (precious resource) and expensive ingredients to make a bunch of souffles.

with carrots (or any other high selling point crop in each biome), you're only paying for the seed, watering and waiting and harvesting. which that in itself is a profit.

[iron flare]

I agree with this. Gardening made me money much faster. If you find that you have a ton of extra coal, some pumpkin puffs are the way to go. Just cook up even 10 of those and the profit margin is huge. I don't usually waste my coal on it though and just sell my pumpkins

[sick smelt]

So whats the better way to make coins with pumpkins? Sell them as is or make puffs and soup? Also does anyone have any other recipes that can make 2k or more?

[shell tartan]

Soup > puffs > selling plain pumpkins

In order of profit

[sick smelt]

Ok thanks!! Ive been planting pumpkins now.

[vital perch]

I tried fishing and Selling the fish

[sick smelt]

For the people who have 500k star coins and above…HOW? I am struggling😭

[terse prawn]

Pumpkins. Lots of pumpkins.

[limpid fossil]

What I do is I plant my crop of choice (varies depending on what you have access to) and while those grow I take my mining buddy and start doing laps of all the biomes. And then you can sell all the gems too; you're welcome to fish as will if mining isn't your thing.

[sick smelt]

I have eggplants, pumpkins, canola etc. I think i have them all. I plant 300 pumpkins a day. But it seems like im wasting more money making the recipes so now idk what to do 🙃. Rarely i’ll get shiny gems or good fish to sell

[limpid fossil]

I don't cook my pumpkins; I just sell them as is. Though I don't know of a base recipe that sells for less than the ingredients, most of them are almost always profitable.

[sick smelt]

Okay you sell them at profit that they are at. Do you think your spending less by buying seeds and selling pumpkins vs cooking?

[limpid fossil]

that sort of depends on what you're cooking; what is the main recipe you're using them in?

Pumpkin seeds cost 275 and a plain pumpkin sells for 664; so you profit 389 at least. Having a few garden buddies to help increase the chance of bonus pumpkins from the one seed helps you profit as well.

I don't cook mine simply because of personal choice; I don't like spending too much time cooking. I make my stack of berry salad and then that's about all the cooking I do that day.

[sick smelt]

Pumpkin soup

[limpid fossil]

okay that sells for a min of 1.5k, the recipe says: Any veg, milk, ginger, pumpkin. Do you know what other veg you are using to cook; so I can get the cost and profit figured out?

[sick smelt]

Someone recommended eggplant as the veggie. It went up to 1953? I think

[limpid fossil]

Yup 1953! okay so the cost to cook your pumpkin soup is: 275 (pumpkin seed) + 95 (eggplant seed) + 230 (milk) + 5 (coal-assuming purchased) for a total of 605. So your profit from cooking is 1,348. Which is great! So it's not a bad meal to make but does require you to stay on top of picking ginger.

So as long as you don't mind the time it takes to cook it I think you're doing fine

[sick smelt]

I hoard coal lol

[sick smelt]

Im out ginger😭 I have 400 pumpkins left and 190 eggplants. The ginger does not spawn fast enough

[limpid fossil]

Aw well #1039167491131310212 has some other pumpkin based dishes you could try? some users just cook three pumpkins.

[sick smelt]

Remy needs a discount. Hes expensive🫤. Milk and cheese are death of my pockets!! I have 79k left. Broke 🤣

[limpid fossil]

haha could always just sell the crops as is for a bit; just to give you some more spending money.

[sick smelt]

Yeah i might have to. I wish walle garden had more crops. I sell those and fish from moana

[sand sequoia]

Vegetable platter using pumpkin 🎃🎃🎃 ?

[shell tartan]

platters using pumpkins are not the highest profit as you have to use more pumpkin per plate. pumpkin soup > pumpkin puffs are the highest two, in that order. but there's nothing stopping you from making the platter if you want!

[sand sequoia]

Ok do the math on that. If I use 5 pumpkins in a grilled vegetable platter, how much money do I make versus a soup or puff? Say you need 20 thousand for a quick star path duty. Which way is quickest to get you to 20 grand?

[lean raven]

Pumpkin Platter
Takes 5 pumpkins to make, at 275 per seed that comes out to 1375 per platter
They sell for 4115
Profit of 2740

Pumpkin Puffs
1 Pumpkin, 1 Egg, 1 Cheese
275+220+180=675 to buy the ingredients
They sell for 1489
Which is a profit of 814

But you then need to account for the number of pumpkins used. It takes 5 pumpkins to make a platter, so 5 pumpkin puffs makes you a profit of 4070

Pumpkin Puffs
1 Pumpkin, 1 Egg, 1 Cheese
275+220+180=675 to buy the ingredients
They sell for 1489
Which is a profit of 814

Pumpkin Soup
1 pumpkin, 1 ginger, 1 milk, 1 veg (any)
Lets use lettuce, as it is the cheapest seed to buy
275+0+230+3=508 to buy the ingredients
They sell for 1503
Which is a profit of 995

In Conclusion
Pumpkin Soup is better profit wise, BUT you are limited to how much ginger you have since it cannot be purchased anywhere. All of the ingredients for puffs can be bought, so you are not limited in how many you can make.

[sand sequoia]

So how many pumpkin soups must you make to get to 20 grand vs platters?

[lean raven]

21 soups or 8 platters

Soups you can auto fill, platters you have to drag the pumpkins in one by one

[sand sequoia]

When I do 4 I get about 16000. So I'm losing on the 📈 profit and the time?

[sand sequoia]

Thanks for the math. I will be making some pumpkin profit soup. 🎃

[lean raven]

Alway happy to share my pumpkin math 😁

[sick smelt]

You can also make a veggie platter with 4 pumpkins and profit is 3,451 per meal! I just harvested 300 pumpkins and had some left over from yesterday. So i have total 755 pumpkins and it total up over 600k star coins!!

[gusty sonnet]

Cool

@lean raven. What is your pumkin math, i am interested😃

[vital perch]

I do fishing or selling gems

[pliant rune]

Carrots are good too!

[vital perch]

That as well

[hollow cave]

Anyone crunched the numbers of what a circuit of the mines can get you in terms of cash sales on average?

[terse prawn]

If you look at #1060657611546042458 and look at the actual file (vs the snips), you'll see the raw data on the tabs for our circuits. You can do the math on your own. 🙂

[hollow cave]

A rough work suggests 3628 per circuit.

[balmy egret]

Yes 100%

[inland hollow]

Thank you so much!

[willow tulip]

what's the best fish to catch and sell to make star coins?

[raven tapir]

Fish, I would say if you can anglerfish is the highest sell price, but most high coin fish are going to be the orange circle so you’ll what the fishing potions to help which offsets the price. Carp or tilapia is a blue circle so more common and easier to catch

[ripe condor]

I have 3 Farms nearly 4
A Small Pumpkin One (Gets me large sums of cash quick)
A Medium Carrot one (quick cash if I need it)
A Large Onion One (Make like nearly 40k from one harvest)
A Medium Canola One (Another source of income)
With a buddy I can make over 60k if it’s a full harvest
But most of the time I just go for what’s fully grown,
It’s also how I levelled up really quickly

[balmy egret]

I just discovered the onion part

[rich bone]

So, since the update I've been seeing opinions to just sell pumpkins and not make puffs anymore. Is there a new "best way to make star coins" or...?

[opal adder]

It’s just down to personal preference really. Pumpkin soup with eggplant makes the most money but I can’t be bothered most of the time to go through making all of it so I just sell the pumpkins as they are!

Best way for me is to sell fruit,herbs,spices,wood
just basically go found your whole valley and pick/remove stuff then sell

Pumpkins takes so long tbh

[leaden mica]

i’m not sure if anyone already said this but if you use the seasonal eggs and make the seasonal dishes (one of thing is a 5 star i can’t think of the name but i think it’s the spring egg bowl) and then sell them

the seasonal egg bowl dish profit is 370 when sold and i made 9 of those yesterday and i made over 3,000+ star coins

just something i think is useful. i have a bunch of the eggs so if it’s seasonal, you could probably make some quick coins that way

[slim pollen]

I find that I've made the most coins with selling gems. And certain cooked foods, i.e. lobster roll, soufflé, lemon Garlic swordfish, baked Carp. I haven't opened forgotten lands yet

[hybrid raven]

is planting pumpkins then selling them still an efficient way to make gold?

im still reletively new?? ish?? so im not sure if they patch this game or anything like that? lowering sell prices and stuff?

[final canopy]

If you wanna make big coinage, plant and sell Rice. Once you see it after waotong, the coins will be pouring in

[terse prawn]

Pumpkins are still the highest coins, yes. Even if you don't make anything, just raw pumpkins

[naive current]

I typically cook 3 pumpkins into grilled veggies then sell those rather than the raw pumpkins. Canola is my go-to crop otherwise.

[hybrid raven]

ooohh weirdly enough i just saw a tiktok about this!! gonna do this today☺️

[hybrid raven]

update - if u want to know how it’s going check #share-your-ddlv-content LMAO

[mossy kite]

I usually do gems. Because mining also seems to be the quickest way to level up friendships too. Lol. 98% of my villagers are mining…

[celest flower]

I’m just beginning so I just farm carrots and I get a pretty decent amount to upgrade my stalls and wells

[lime wraith]

I’ll give you a tip what I do is to get all of my fruit and ||pumkings|| and get like gems and that and sell them all of it makes a lot of starcoins

[celest flower]

Thx

[mighty robin]

I know, more pumpkin math....BUT

It actually works

And for those who need to see it in action, instead of just an infographic: I did the pumpkin puff thing

Inventory with funds on hand and just pumpkins (just harvested)

Inventory after buying cheese and eggs, with balance

Inventory after 25 puffs (1/4 of harvest) sold, with balance (2 pics)

Figure a full batch of puffs pays for itself at 1/4 and pays for the pupkins at another 1/8ish. The rest is pure profit.

[eternal girder]

I only calculated for making 1 dish & if you were to plant/grow the ingredients needed yourself

[oak flicker]

I cook a meal with 5 pumpkins and that meal sells for $4,111 star coins. The best way I've found so far

[hollow minnow]

I've been fishing a lot and selling them. I've found that helps. Plus in Frosted Heights, they sell for more.

[terse prawn]

Fish sell for the same price, regardless of where you sell them. Different fish just have different prices.

[serene meteor]

I'd be more inclined to cooking if you could cook more than one of the same dish at once, like crafting. I've just been selling plain pumpkins for now. Is there any plan to make that an option? I would love that

[terse prawn]

This is a player guide, friend, not a place where devs will answer. You're more than welcome to put a suggestion in #1103049839694057574

[lyric oasis]

I've been doing this as well, but i only use 3 pumpkins

[manic lily]

When I have an overflow of fish, I cook them and sell them.

[blissful finch]

One time I just got a bunch of here and there fish and sold them. I had a fishing pal with me

[crystal elk]

other than cooking and selling the pumpkin puffs, i noticed cooking the pan fried angler fish meal and selling them helped me get lots of star coins

[manic lily]

Lemons. They're free and make all your other free stuff more profitable. Oysters. Beached seafood. Fish. And they count as fruit in any fruit

[spring token]

Agreed. Lemons first but once you get Forgotten Lands. Just farm a crap ton of pumpkins (I think I sell about 3 stacks full and net around 148k). Bonus, hang out with someone you are trying to level up so you can farm friendships as well

[blissful finch]

Gems is another good thing for star coins. I just farmed those ||to get belle/beast house||

[placid phoenix]

Make pumpkin soups and sell them for around 1500 starcoins per soup. I made millions by this method and it takes little to no time to make 80K+

[novel grove]

I've never caught one of those fish.

[manic lily]

I bought 13k worth of pumpkins. Planted them, then farmed them with a gardener. I couldn't be having with cooking them because I am trying to get rid of hundreds of herring so I just sold them straight back to Goofy for about 30k. So when harvesting your pumpkins, always do so with a Gardening buddy.

[magic tangle]

Perfect guide! Thank you.

[blissful finch]

There's a tip from one of the staff here i used: fish outside the ripples. Right outside in morning or night/early afternoon

[vivid flint]

Is there a easy way to get Star coins if I don't have pumpkins unlocked yet

[pliant rune]

I started with carrots then went to okra before I had pumpkins!

[vivid flint]

How much do carrots sell for

[pliant rune]

I can't remember offhand but #1084168410658766939!

[blissful zephyr]

How do I make money quickly

Any tips or help

[pliant rune]

I'd recommend browsing through this thread, a lot of good advice has been given! Farming is popular. First carrots, then okra, then pumpkins (depending on which biomes you've unlocked)

[blissful zephyr]

Where do u find orka and pumpkins

I’ve unlocked frozen moana beach and forest

[pliant rune]

Okra is in the Glade of Trust, pumpkins are in the Forgotten Lands. For now I would say grow and sell carrots!

[timid plaza]

I planted pumpkins all over the forgotten lands and made over 3mil haha

[hollow void]

Has anyone made a spreadsheet yet outlining how the new crops stack up against base game crops in terms of profit? Are pumpkins still the best?

[terse prawn]

I'm working on it but it's slow going. Once it's all done, #1084168410658766939 will have two guides - one for Main Valley and one for the DLC. It will have profit prices as well. So keep an eye on that guide, and once it's done I will make a post.

[hollow void]

Amazing!

[rigid quarry]

i wish there was a better way to make money cuz im not rlly one for the grinding pumpkins

[lapis creek]

Ancient Gardening Machine is my saviour now. I dislike gardening too.

[lilac tinsel]

Ancient gardening machine?

[rigid quarry]

dlc, which i dont have @lapis creek

[lapis creek]

Ohhh gotcha 🖤

[rigid quarry]

waiting for christmas cuz im getting some money for games

[lapis creek]

It’s from the expansion.

[lilac tinsel]

Ohhh ok thank uh

[devout nymph]

What does that machine do

[rigid quarry]

auto waters plants

[pale badger]

What is the best plant to sell BESIDES PUMKINS

[terse prawn]

Posted this in #dreamlight-help for you but here you go

[pale badger]

Oh ty I seen it but it didn’t make any sense the first time tyyy!

[simple vessel]

Star Coins give me profits from selling stuff 🤑 ka-ching

[balmy egret]

So whats a good way to make money?

[shell tartan]

Selling crops and shiny gems seems to be the best consensus

[balmy egret]

Okay but don't I need my gems for quests?

[gusty falcon]

I make pumpkin soup and it goes for like 1.4k/plate. All it takes is pumpkin, lettuce, ginger, and milk. And if you have the cooking pixel duplicator, you get twice the amount of dishes you make. I don’t think it works on the ancient cooker.

[glass stratus]

Honestly, most of the time, shiny gems don’t seem to count

[balmy egret]

Oh okay

[mighty robin]

Pineapple, if you have the dlc

what is the best dish to make star coins from

[pliant rune]

#1039167491131310212 has some good calculations on that!

[misty verge]

does anyone have the EI version of this?

[terse prawn]

One has not been made

[misty verge]

thank you, I mainly asked for pineapple but I got my answers

[astral plinth]

Meat Pie with Venison is a great way of making money if people don't have a lot of gardeners for pumpkins. Just need Wheat, rest can be purchased.

Edit:
Each Meat Pie with Venison is a profit of 470.
1x Venison for 1 000
1x Wheat for 3
1x Butter for 190
1x Coal for 5
Sells for 1 668
Total Cost is 1 198

It's best to do on the days where Gaston has Venison in the first slot in the store, as you can purchase infinite amounts then.

[blissful finch]

How much venison do you put in

[manic lily]

Well, I've hit the Blue Spring Rabbit for yellow eggs. Now I just need like, millions more blue eggs.

[cursive dragon]

Don't forget to do WALL-E's Eggstravaganza quests for extra eggs.

[errant ridge]

THANK YOU 😭🙏🏻❤️

[odd glen]

I've discovered that if you put here and there fish, okra, eggplant, pumpkin, and venison together as a dish it gives you grilled fish entree. But if you make lots of them you get lots of coins. Just one is 4,885. Imagine if you make 50 or more.

[astral plinth]

Sorry about the late reply, but no need to put more venison in. 1 is enough, additional does not earn more money. Edit, also updated with more info.

[edgy gazelle]

Stacks of here and there fish. Cook 5 here and there fish each plate sells for 10000

[terse prawn]

Easy tip for those starting out - these are the top selling crops per biome.

[open pawn]

Harvest pumpkins! But you need to be patient, it take to 4 houts to grow. But that really helps me loll

[tawdry heart]

Is that the highest priced meal we can sell?

[terse prawn]

The souffles are, I believe.

[restive radish]

I fine asparagus sells good too

[tawny walrus]

The best way to make money is fishing for Here and There Fish. I can usually make between 6 and 8 million per period of availability.

[cursive dragon]

I'm usually for pumpkins. You get an extra seven from one spot, or get a bounty harvest from the same spot, you can make a lot of Star Coins from the extra harvest. Balances out spending for more seeds.

[glass wing]

Same

[old hazel]

I sell both pumpkins and canola! Canola is pretty much easy to come by if you buy it from goofys stall and randomly find it while digging! Hope this helps!

[terse prawn]

You find canola by digging? I've literally never, in 2 years. Only by planting and harvesting, or buying from goofy if he has it as his random produce

[low pecan]

Or by thorns but that is rare and not enough to really to do a decent size crop

[manic lily]

Don't forget your gardenning buddies!

[restive radish]

I think she mean conlia bags

[steel timber]

Canola is another way of making Star Coins?

[finite zodiac]

most of my people are gardeners so I am at +16 and planting 120 pumpkins lets me harvest over 2K which is roughly 1.3M star coins every 4 hrs. doesn't get much better than that and no time spent cooking. I can do other tasks in between harvesting

[timid latch]

Thanks!

[timid latch]

I’ll definitely try that

[brazen berry]

You have to cook 5 h&t fish for the 10k platter.

[wheat hearth]

wait im so confused how is it a one star meal then, i got it as a gift and thats what they told me😭

[brazen berry]

The meal stars are set based on the recipe and further ingredients dont increase them. For example: fruit salad will always be 1 star whether you use 1 apple or 5.

To get the fish plate for 10,400 coins you have to cook 5 here and there fish. Just cooking 1 would yield 20% of that.

[wheat hearth]

Thank you for the clarification!

[steel timber]

I'm a little confused about the Profit Per Harvest. 🤔 I understand each bag of seed has a price we can buy from Goofy's Stalls and the price we can sell for Star Coins depending on what they are. But the Profit Per Harvest? I can't wrap my head around it. XD

[restive radish]

I could help

[dusk current]

Hey! How do you make money? I heard early game it’s carrots but it’s just making everything so much slower. How did you manage it? I’m still fairly new ish. Unlocked three biomes but at this point I’ll just go for the one that will get me more money because I’m struggling 😭

[terse prawn]

#1020465825859248169 message

This gives a list of the most profitable crops per biome. 🙂

[brazen berry]

Honestly you can also just sell literally everything. I used to mine all the nodes and sell every single gem i found for money

[atomic ermine]

That's pretty much what i'm doing now. I was storing them all but decided it's best to sell them until I have all wells and stalls open and my house upgraded. Plus all the shiny items at Scrooges don't come cheap 🤣

[terse prawn]

Time to post this again!

[crystal geode]

fishing also gives alot too. especially the ones caught in the orange circles in the water

[placid phoenix]

just make pumpkin soups using 3 pumpkins, 1 milk, and 1 ginger and sell them in mass bulk.

[solar gull]

I just posted in hints but there are 3 crops that if you don't have bonuses (buddy or random) don't seem to make money at all in Storybook Vale.

Barely is 0 profit/loss.
Green beans is a 41g loss
Oat is a 51g loss.

Don't plant these if you're trying to earn money.

[mellow pumice]

have we figured out if there are crops that make profit in storybrook vale?

[solar gull]

I looked last night at costs but I don't deep dive the same way other folks do.

But!
Honeydew Melon seems like one of the highest profits. Buy 40, sell 125. Profit of 85. It also takes only 45 minutes to grow, so you're at 1.8888 per minute.

After that I think it's Cauliflower (15 profit in 10 mins), and Radiccho (77 profit in 60 mins)

Please note that was based on like 1am math. I'm a math nerd but it could come out that I'm wrong. 😅

[mellow pumice]

well anything helps so thank you 🙏🏻

[manic lily]

Oh man, I never noticed some of those losses. Although mercifully I did consistently harvest with a buddy.

[ionic bear]

Are pumpkin puffs still the way to go for profit for mid-game base game? Or should I just be selling the pumpkins immediately?
Edit: Entirely forgot about pumpkin platters. I will probably just go that route to avoid stocking up on extra ingredients

[ionic bear]

Thank you! I scrolled for a bit and found this after I asked my question

[frank sand]

Is pumpkins still the best way to make money

[low pecan]

#1020465825859248169 message

[main hearth]

what is the quickest way to earn money when you only have the plaza, meadow, beach and forest?

[brazen berry]

#1020465825859248169 message

[main hearth]

I saw that, it shows the most profitable crops. Are you saying gardening is the best way to earn money? Or just which crops are the most profitable?

[brazen berry]

The best way to earn money depends solely on how you prefer to play. My opinion of the best way to earn money is to sell everything that isnt bolted down until you arent scrounging for coins anymore. Many disagree with that because it means little to no crafting and having to actually find items again for quests.

[main hearth]

Hmm, alright thanks!

[rustic glacier]

If you cook the pumpkins into pumpkin puffs then sell the puffy, you make nearly twice as much profit.

[brisk current]

What’s the best Fruit and vegetable to sell from Eternity Isle?

[brazen berry]

Fruit is pineapples. Unsure about vegetable. You can always check #1245776262660620308 or the wiki to find the harvest amount, seed cost, and sale price for each item.

[brisk current]

From first glance Ruby Lentil looks like it can give the most Star coins for vegetables…but i don’t know if the cost for seed makes its net sale price worth it…

[restive elm]

Good morning/evening... is there a way to get the link to this spread sheet? I would like to see it full screen. I am a tad older and home on disability. With that said, I am so enjoying the game. Thanks

[opal adder]

This person is no longer in the server so unfortunately they cannot see your message.

Open the Forgotten Lands and open Goofy's stall... pumpkins have helped me tremendously.

@quick geyser there are some helpful tips here for making money 😄

[fervent hound]

One word

PUMPKINS🎃

[versed knoll]

fish plates. 50 sells for 500k

[slate quest]

So if u make food with lots of pumpkins it sells more than just selling pumpkins on their own?

[slate quest]

Your kidding which fish meal? The 5 star platter

[brazen berry]

5 here & there fish cooked together makes 10,400 for 1.

Technically you earn more by cooking them separately but then that requires a LOT more cooking and each stack sells for less. But if you cook them all separately, you earn 2,400 per platter, which is 12k per 5.

[gray nexus]

How do you buy pumpkins?

[terse prawn]

They are in the forgotten lands.

[gray nexus]

Where’s that? I’m on eternity isle rn for jafar quest but my inventory/house are still not upgraded-so im full inv

In storage and inventory

[terse prawn]

It's in the main valley. You'll have to take a look at your map to see. But it takes a while to get there.

[gray nexus]

Okay! I’ll check it out, thank you 😊

Sunlit plateau is greyed out- need to advance further into storyline?

[terse prawn]

Also one more Q- how do I upgrade my house? And okay!

[terse prawn]

For those kinds of questions, come to #dreamlight-help !

[white breach]

so eggplants are better than pumpkins now? I haven't played in a few months so I'm trying to get back up to speed

[brazen berry]

No. That graphic is showing specifically for the "pumpkin soup" that the "any vegetable" requirement can change the profit and that the eggplant as the any vegetable in that specific recipe provides the most profit.

[plush palm]

what kind of meals i should make? i need to get googles from germs around its about 30,000 coins

[low pecan]

If you scroll up there is info #1020465825859248169 message

[molten ruin]

Too many numbers for me hehe, it looks like its the veggie platter with pumpkins and eggplant. But yeah not sure

[brazen berry]

Are you looking for the item that makes the most profit? The graphic is showing that pumpkin puffs provide the most profit per pumpkin, followed by veggie platters made with 3 pumpkins

Thank you for these, how do you grind the Here and There fish? I only ever fished a few and they never come up on Moana boat.

[brazen berry]

You have to fish between 6-10 am or pm, outside of bubbles in any biome

[fading egret]

how far through the story do you get the here and there fish?

[terse prawn]

It's Nala's level 10 I think. She teaches you about them before that but I don't think you can catch the actual fish until after her level 10

[fading egret]

okay thanks much appreciated
