## A beginner's guide to making money

The main way to earn money in the game is by selling items. Processed items usually sell for more than raw items:

* Place fruit trees and berry bushes -> Harvest fruit -> Burn -> Cook -> Sell
* Raw ingredients -> Burn -> Cook -> Sell
* Relics and fish -> Burn -> Sell
* Craft decor -> Sell

## Fish

Fish will continuously appear in the water around the island. They have many uses within the game, and catching fish can be a great way to make money. See the Fishing page for general information about this aspect of the game. The Fish page includes information that may help you to decide how to maximize your profits while fishing.

Most fish are worth more when burned because they can generate more than one charred fishbone depending on size and rarity. **Legendary huge**, **legendary middling**, **mythical huge**, and **mythical middling** fish are worth the same either way. See the Fish page for conversion info.

## Food

Processed ingredients usually cost more than their less processed counterparts (with a few exceptions: mushroom tamari and fancy broth are far less profitable than mushroom tofu and vegetable broth; fruit tincture sells for much more than any recipe that uses it; the only profitable recipe that use Deluxe greens is kimchi).

## Crafted items

Most decoration items are fairly complicated to make and sell for profit or take expensive materials like essences. However, a number of common recipes take only four charred fishbones to be crafted and sell for 2,000 each. These fishbone recipes are relatively easy to craft in bulk and sell.

The fishbone recipes are:

* Amanita mushroom
* Counting sheep statue
* Frog spinner
* Fruit crate
* High Priest artifact
* Homemade jams
* Ice cream display fridge
* Kelp
* Laboratory bubble tube section
* Lei stand
* Orrery
* Pruned potted tree
* Ringmaster sculpture
* Rolled parchment
* S'mores table
* Scarecrow
* Scout chair
* Skateboard
* Small potted lilac
* Snow bricks
* Stack of flower pots
* Stone bear statue
* Tall ceramic vase
* Tall potted plant
* Tool rack
* Tray table
* Wilted memorial flowers
* Wood buoy
* Wooden bath bucket

## Critters

See **Critter** page for list of all critters.
Critters require the initial investment of 7,500 to get the critter net. They are abundant on the island, spawn constantly, and a fairly easy to catch. Critters cannot be processed, are not used in any crafting recipes or story quests, and can easily be sold to get some quick money.

## Relics

See **Relic** page for relic processing profits.
## Shells

See **Shell** page for list of all shells.
## Flowers

See **Flower** page for list of all flowers.
Flowers can be a good source of passive income: a potted plant or a flowering bush costs only three essence and will continue to produce flowers every 72 hours, with each of these flowers selling for 350.
