Best Money-Making Strategies

🌱 Farming

Plant Pineapples (15G seed → 52G sell, 30 min) early. Later, switch to Strawberries or Avocados for max profit.

🍳 Cooking

Cook food instead of selling raw materials! Example: 4 berries (16G each) → Jam (170G) = huge profit.

🎣 Fishing

Fish in the Ocean for high-value catches like Bluefin Tuna. Sell extras to Albert Jr.

Pro Tip: Combine all three! Fish → Cook → Sell for maximum income.
