Making money in Palia is all about selling fish, food, and crops. Making money fast and easy is all about selling the ones that are the most profitable. You don’t have to wait until late in the game to do this; you can start counting your earnings from the moment you start the game.
Making Money Fast & Easy in Palia
When you start Palia, the fastest and easiest way to make money is to hunt down Sernuk parts and fish for Common and Uncommon fish. You can easily find Sernuk in Kilima Valley and Bahari Bay. While a bit morbid, the specific parts you’re going to want to carve out and sell are:
- Sernuk Antlers: 43 Gold for Basic / 64 Gold for Quality.
- Sernuk Hide: 13 Gold for Basic.
- Sernuk Meat: 13 Gold for Basic/ 19 Gold for Quality.
Common and Uncommon fish don’t require any bait. That way, you don’t need to spend money to make money. The fish you can catch and sell this way are:

Most Profitable Ways To Make Money
To earn more bang for your buck in Palia, plant and harvest crops. The above fish are easy to catch and sell for fast cash but aren’t the most profitable. Once you’re past the point of needing to rely on fish and Senuk parts, you’ll want to focus on:
| Crop | Selling Price | Time To Harvest | Seed Selling Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apples | 64 Gold for Basic / 96 Gold for Quality | 12 Days | 700 Gold for Basic / 1,050 Gold for Quality |
| Blueberries | 39 Gold for Basic / 58 Gold for Quality | Nine Days | 112 Gold for Basic / 168 Gold for Quality |
| Spicy Peppers | 32 Gold for Basic / 48 Gold for Quality | Six Days | 85 Gold for Basic / 127 Gold for Quality |
| Rice | 27 Gold for Basic / 40 Gold for Quality | Three Days | 11 Gold for Basic / 16 Gold for Quality |
Other Ways To Make Money
While not nearly as reliable, you can also make fast and easy money in Palia by collecting Unopened Oysters. Ten percent of all the Unopened Oysters you find have a chance of concealing a Pearl inside, which you can sell for 105 Gold. Three percent of all the Unopened Oysters you find could also have a Green Pearl inside, which can be sold for double at 290 Gold.
Palia is available on PC and the Nintendo Switch.
