Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life involves meditative gameplay in the perfect town of Forgotten Valley. However, you need gold for almost everything, as you have many different things to do, such as mining or caring for animals. High-quality crops and goods bring in a solid profit. Still, you will need plenty of money for various improvements or good animal food.
Tip & Tricks to Make Money in Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life
You will constantly need gold for seeds, feed, fertilizers, or upgrades to your tools. Accordingly, you should think about how to convert the time spent on the farm into money. To help you develop your farm as quickly as possible, we will tell you what to do to maximize your profits.
Growing Crops
At the beginning of the game, you will have a small plot of land, but its quality will be low. It is a good idea to grow fruit trees there, as they are not very picky about the soil, and growing them will pay off. The fruit will bring you a good income, and you can increase your profit by selling seeds. When you get Seed Maker, you can turn fruits into seeds, which will always sell for more unless the fruit is of very high quality. You can also turn trees into hybrids, bringing you even more gold.
In the first year, you will mainly experiment with crops, try to grow them, and begin to understand which ones are the most profitable. But in the second year, you can create hybrids that will bring you more gold, but it can be a bit difficult to do, as they need high-quality soil. After you grow one, talk to Takakura to clear a field on your farm. It will be large, and the ground will be highly fertile for planting hybrids.
Producing Livestock Goods
The better you care for your animals, the better quality products they give you. To keep animals happy, you must feed them on time and interact with them, such as brushing them.
Milk sells well, but your earnings will reach a new level when you have a Processing Room. This facility lets you make cheese and butter, which is highly valuable. You should know that brown cow’s milk is better to process into butter, and marble cow’s milk is better for cheese. This way, dairy products will significantly increase in quality and therefore be sold at a higher price.
The most lucrative animals are sheep. As soon as you have the opportunity, buy them if your main goal is to make money. This is one of the most profitable animal products
Selling Your Products
An ideal way to earn gold is by selling items; for instance, Animal products can be sold in the Shipping Bin on your farm. However, we recommend doing business with Van, as he’s a great source of profit for sellable goods. He appears only twice a season, but you can sell him anything and get paid immediately.
Initially, you can make a lot of money by selling him fish, flowers, and dig site finds. You can also buy a fishing rod from him to catch fish in any body of water. This activity is very easy to do, but note that the best fish can be caught near the waterfall.
You can visit the dig site almost every day from 10 am and find ancient objects, including the most expensive gold ones, and sell them to Van. Earning money from flowers is the easiest way. You collect them all over Forgotten Valley, and they will regrow after a while.
Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
