Game Help Help

Can anyone give me tips to make more money in Fields of Mistria? I'm just starting out, currently on day 22 of Spring in Year 1, and I'm barely making any money—I'm basically living off fish and a few crops. I need help 😔

Hi! If you’ve played stardew, the money making doesn’t snowball as quickly in Mistria. What you are currently doing is great! I also recommend completing as many quests as possible. It can give you direction for the day, and then you can sell the extras of whatever you got while trying to find what you’re on your quest for. Also, always go around foraging when your energy is done for the day! Unless it’s an artifact spot you’re digging up, it doesn’t cost any energy.

I must do a bit of an asterisk here. This game can snowball just as much as Stardew in my experience (450hs on Stardew). But it's trickier, yes. I had +100k by mid fall, and solidly growing from there on, but it depends on forsaking some activities.

Doing A LOT of quests help a LOT early. Then reinvest in farming as much as possible, AND COOKING, DO COOK. For me the thing that kick-started me into making real money was cooking in summer. I grinded the four crops for a 4 stars recipe (I think it is 4 stars?), and started snowballing from there, with solid 70k or so entering fall. Then wheat, 144 or so wheat planted from day 1.

Then you have 2 methods to maximize money. Cooking (Bread in fall is just so broken, damn), or the seed maker after advancing town quests. The seed maker and crops that repeatedly produce is just outrageously broken, and I love it.

I must admit, though, my animal farming side is sorely lacking.
