Moneymaking

Keeping bees and processing Honey is the best (and mostly passive after the initial setup) way to earn money in the game. To get started on it early:

• Shake as many mature trees as you can; early on every chance to get another bee helps. It also gives extra Silkworms that means more Silk Rope for constructing Bee Hives.
  • A free Bee Hive can be grabbed in the community gate south of Freya's early.
• Even unprocessed honeycombs sell well during early game, and processing them in a Fruit and Honey Press bring even more profit.
  • Processing requires Empty Bottles, so make several Tappin Kits as soon as you can and place them on Pine Trees and Box Trees to get Super Glue early. (Two tapping kits can be grabbed in the community gate south of the Museum.)
  • As soon as you get two Super Glue, craft each type of bottles in the menu and use the bottles to make Bottle Attachment to eliminate the need for super glue when it comes to bottles entirely.
• Catch a Soot Puff and keep it in storage for growing, then get a Soot Grower for one Museum Credit at one of the museum terminals. Start growing the Soot Puff as soon as you can: getting the museum soot to 300 in size will give you Artificial Sunflower that will get you a consistent supply of bees.
• Consider making several Delicate Tapping Kits and placing them on Cherry Blossom Trees as well. When you get the Artificial Sunflower, Cherry Blossom Syrup can be used to coat it to attract Pink Bees that produce very lucrative Pink Honeycombs.
  • Once you get your first Pink Bees, don't put them all in one hive yet! Put one pink bee and three regular bees in each hive; these hives will produce Pink Honeycombs as long as there's at least one pink bee in them.
  • When you get enough pink bees, you can put four of them in one hive to make Giant Pink Honeycombs to skyrocket your profits.

When you have the honeybee farm set up, all involvement it requires is harvesting honeycombs that can be sold right away or made into honey.

Pixie hunting

Pixies are cute! And using them will make your life in the Falls much easier.

• Repair the Town Shrine right away. (It's cheap.) Start putting anything in there: even a small chance to get a pixie is better than nothing. Try to use mushrooms if you can.
  • A free Pixie Shrine can also be grabbed from the community gate next to the Museum early. Use both.
• If you get a rarer mushroom patch to spawn, don't harvest it right away: put a green pixie on it, then use the mushrooms it gathers to attract more pixies.
  • In general, try to clear out most mushroom patches every day, especially the cheaper one: there's a limit to mushrooms spawns and the more of them you gather the more space there is for rarer ones to spawn.
  • In your first summer, your best option is getting a patch of Nightcaps and harvesting them with a pixie.
  • In autumn, Illuminal Shroom, Valley Shroom, or Wurly Shroom are all excellent options for maxing out your pixie hunting chances.
  • When you first winter comes, focus on getting the best pixie offering in the game: the elusive Pixiecap. The earlier you get one, the better; once you see it, put a pixie on it and you're set on pixies for the rest of the game.
• Get your axe upgraded, then chop the huge stump at the entrance to Pixie Caves. Start releasing pixies to get pixie cards and blessing, too. (I especially like Pigeon Ally as the first blessing, but more on that in the next section.)
  • One early pixie card can be received from Grass Cutting if you're not opposed to savescumming for it.
• Do not destroy ore nodes, rainbow rocks, or round stones in town. When you get enough pixies, pop them on these stones to get an early start on rare and shard minerals.
  • Round stones in the tunnels and in the fenced animal pen outside Animal Center will give you a steady supply of geodes when harvested by pixies to use the minerals inside for crafting and museum donations.
  • Rainbow rocks in the tunnels and gated area next to the Tree of Seasons give shards for late game projects and upgrades.
• Put some pixies on both Great Dream and Great Wisdom trees when you can, too.
• Evaporator is a good first machine to put your red on rainbow pixies on since itwill allow you to process tree sap more efficiently (and sap takes quite a while to produce). Pixies on honey presses will increase your profits.
  • Pixies can also be moved to other machines when the machine they're on aren't in use.

Other tips

• Try to complete two Museum collections right away to get two credits. Tree seeds are easy enough to complete if you keep cutting grass; fish and shell collections are not season dependent, so some of these can be completed early, too. Once you get two credits, get the Master Key and open all community gates.
  • A Soot Grower is another good first purchase.
• Learn what to keep and what to sell. Use the overview pages like fruit, crops, fish, or mushrooms: the lists on these pages have a Used in column that lists recipes, quests, and projects they're used in.
  • Additionally, keep at least two of each type of Giant critters for breeding. As tempting as it is to donate them right away, giant cocoons, tadpoles, and especially nymphs are very hard to get.
  • Keep ten Rubies for late game trading, too.
