Making Money For Your Wedding In Story Of Seasons

In Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, players must earn money to expand their farms and buy seeds. One way to make money is by growing and selling crops. Players can experiment with different crops to see which ones yield the most profit. For example, fruit trees take longer to grow but are worth more in the end. Players can also sell animal products, such as milk, cheese, butter, and wool. Additionally, players can sell items found at the Dig Site, as well as fish and flowers, to a travelling salesman named Van. Players can also invest in farm expansions, such as a second field, and buy special cows to produce higher-quality milk.

Sell animal products

Animal products are one of the best ways to make money in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. The happier your animals are, the better their products, so be sure to tend to them daily. Feed, brush, and care for your animals, and keep their welfare in mind as you sell animal products.

At the start of the game, Takakura will offer you a cow for free, which will be ready to produce milk. You can then purchase other animals, but for now, focus on keeping the animals you have happy. If your animals aren't happy and well-cared for, they won't produce sellable products. To learn how to best care for your cows, check the news channel on your TV, which will give you helpful tips such as snuggling them and letting them outside daily.

Initially, you'll likely just be selling milk, but eventually, you'll unlock things like the Processing Room, which can process milk into cheese or butter. Selling these dairy products will earn you more gold than selling milk alone.

You can sell animal products in three ways:

• Put them in the shipping bin beside your barn at any time.
• Sell any items to Van when he visits the town centre on the 3rd and 8th of each season.
• Sell any items at your own stall by setting it up in the town centre.

Sell crops

To make money in Story of Seasons, you'll need to sell crops, among other things. Here are some tips to maximise your profits:

Choosing the Right Crops

Fruits have faster growth rates, so you can harvest and sell them sooner. Vegetables, on the other hand, tend to fetch a greater price but take longer to grow. Both have their drawbacks, so you must decide which approach you are more comfortable with.

Hybrid Crops

After your first year, you'll meet Vinnie, a strange plant in Takakura's house who will make hybrid seeds for you once you befriend him. Hybrid crops always sell for more than their parent crops, so if you're focused purely on earning an income, this is a great strategy.

Golden Crops

You can also grow special golden crops that sell for much more than the original version. To unlock golden crops, you need to sell a total of 500 of the regular version. For example, sell 500 turnips to unlock the seeds for Golden Turnips. Golden crops are difficult to grow and have a chance of dying or wilting as they move from growth stage to growth stage. To help ensure the crop's health, you can use Special Fertilizer, the Ferris Wheel greenhouse, or make the plant instantly mature by using the Super Mushroom mystery crop.

Best Crops to Sell

The best crops to sell depend on the season. In spring, watermelons and potatoes are recommended. In summer, melons and watermelons are good options. For autumn, sweet potatoes and melons, and in winter, potatoes are a good choice.

Where to Sell

There are multiple ways to sell your crops in Story of Seasons. You can use the Shipping Bin, sell to Van when he visits twice per season, or open your own store. Each method has its pros and cons in terms of convenience, the time it takes to get your money, and the types of items you can sell.

Buy and sell fish and flowers

Fish, flowers, and other items that can't be sold through the shipping bin can be sold to Van, a travelling merchant who visits Forgotten Valley twice a month, or by setting up your own stall in town.

Van will buy anything you want to sell and you can sell up to eight kinds of items at a time. However, you will have to wait for him to arrive and he only visits twice a month, on the third and eighth of each month.

If you set up your own stall, you can sell up to 10 items in your inventory. Villagers will approach your stall as they go about their daily schedule in town and you can speak to them to see what they're interested in buying. You can then charge them the standard price or a cheaper one, or opt not to sell it to them at all. However, this option is slower and doesn't guarantee sales.

If you want to make money from fish, angle for Scad. After you buy the fishing rod from Van, you can catch these ocean fish, which sell for 25 gold apiece for small ones and 65 gold for bigger ones, which is more than other common spring fish.

Buy and sell jewels

In Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, you can make money by farming raw gemstones and processing them into jewels to sell. This method is most effective when you have access to the third mine and Stonebreaker Valley, where the most valuable raw gemstones can be found.

To begin, you'll need to gain access to the third mine and Stonebreaker Valley. Once you've done that, you can start farming raw gemstones. Keep in mind that this process will be easier if you have unlocked the Earth Sprite Village, as the Stone Sprite can bring you raw gemstones.

After you've collected a decent amount of raw gemstones, it's time to process them into jewels. To do this, you'll need to unlock the Jewel Maker by reaching Mining Level 6. The Giant Jewel Maker recipe, which allows you to process more gemstones at once, becomes available at Mining Level 10.

With your jewels ready, you can now sell them to make a profit. Remember that the quality of your gemstones and jewels will affect the selling price, so try to aim for higher-quality products if possible.

In addition to selling jewels, you can also use them as gifts to build relationships with the townspeople, which can lead to other benefits and advantages in the game. Alternatively, you can use the jewels as ingredients for crafting recipes, creating even more valuable items to sell.

Choose the right crops

Choosing the right crops is key to making money in Story of Seasons. Fruits have faster growth rates, so they can be harvested and sold sooner. Vegetables, on the other hand, tend to fetch a greater price but take longer to grow. Both options have their drawbacks, so players must decide whether they want instant results or are willing to play the long game.

In the first year, players will likely be growing basic crops like carrots or tomatoes. Tomatoes are one of the easiest plants to grow and are the first bag of seeds given to the player. They can be grown from Spring to Autumn, and seeds are incredibly cheap at 30 gold each. However, they may not bring in the most money.

Melons are another good option for the first year, as they can be grown throughout the entire summer and autumn seasons. Melon seeds cost 50 gold, but a B-rank melon can be sold for 210 gold, and with enough fertilizer, this can be increased to 270 gold at S-rank.

For players who are not concerned about the wait time, root vegetables often have higher sale prices due to their longer growth times. Potatoes, for example, yield a higher profit than turnips but take eight days to grow.

In the second year, players will be introduced to hybrid crops, which are likely to sell for much more. The Sweetoma, a hybrid of the Sweet Potato and the Tomato, sells for 570g at S-tier. The Greetoma, a combination of the Tomato and the Watermelon, has an S-tier sale price of 560g but has more third-generation applications.

Players must also consider the season when choosing crops. In Winter, there are only a few crop options, including carrots, strawberries, turnips, and potatoes. Turnips are a good choice if time is a factor, as they only take five days to grow, but they cannot be grown in Spring. Potatoes yield the highest profit but must be planted at the beginning of the season to have enough time to grow.
