So you want to be rich in Sun Haven? Whether you’re dreaming of bathing in golden coins or just funding your next home upgrade, this in-depth guide is for you. From farming setups and skill builds to mining sweeps and crafting tricks, we’re revisiting every money-making method—layered with strategy, skill recommendations, and realistic outcomes. You don’t need to do them all. Pick what fits your vibe and build your fortune at your pace.
Farming Like a Pro: Seasonal Strategy and Passive Profit
There are two seed types in Sun Haven: all-season seeds (from the General Store) used mostly for cooking, and seasonal seeds (from Catherine’s Farming Store), which offer higher ROI per harvest. Seasonal crops cost more, but their yields can turn you into a rich farmer—especially those that produce multiple times per season.
Best Multi-Harvest Crops by Season:
- Spring: Peas, Green Beans, Kiwi, Watermelon (multi-season)
- Summer-Fall: Cotton, Coffee (great in kegs), Honeysuckle
- Winter: Candy Cane
Take peas as a case study:
- Costs: 300 gold
- Days to first harvest: 12
- Remaining harvests in season: 9 (if planted Day 1)
- Total yield: 675 gold
- Profit: 375 gold per plant
- Add Simple Earth Fertilizer (100 gold) for bonus harvests
Pair with skills like Tiller Step, Propagation, and Further Land for max results. These crops, paired with the right skills, turn a simple patch of soil into a coin machine.
Starting Smart: Royalty Perk and First Day Gold
Pick the Royalty passive at character creation for 1,000 gold. Then bargain with Anne to reduce your tool cost to 150 gold, leaving you 850 to buy:
- 2 Pea Seeds = 600 gold
- 2 Earth Fertilizer = 200 gold
That small investment nets a guaranteed 550 gold profit—before bonuses.
Tomato Bread: The Unofficial Currency
Cooking isn’t just fun—it’s wildly profitable. Focus on planting tomatoes, sugarcane, and wheat from the General Store. These crops grow in any season and form the backbone of one of the most lucrative recipes in the game.
Tomato Bread Breakdown:
- Tomato Juice: 6 tomatoes + 1 sugar = 560 gold cost
- Add 1 more sugar + 3 wheat = 200 more gold
- Final cost: 760 gold
- Sale price: 1,740 gold
- Profit: 980 gold per bread
Invest in:
- Culinary Mastery (3 pts)
- Leftovers
- Propagation
- Thrift Hunter (essential for General Store buys)
Thrift Hunter Daily Deal
This skill turns the General Store into your personal stock market. Max Thrift Hunter and grab discounted seeds every day. Sell the crops or use them in recipes—either way, you’re winning. Pro tip: stack with Royal Totems for passive boosts.
Animal Farming: From Pigs to Wooly Profits
While chickens and cows are great, pigs are the unsung heroes:
- Drop Earth Crystals (turn into fertilizer)
- Unlock Golden Heart skill and get Golden Pomegranates: +2 HP and Mana, unlimited use, +200 gold each
Or if you want a simpler route:
- Sheep (cost: 4,000 gold) give daily wool (250–275 gold with Top Shelf maxed)
Optimize animal farming with:
- Food Delivery (max it—avoid feed costs)
- Wheat-to-feed conversion via Farmer’s Table
- Zookeeper for even more income
Return on investment (ROI):
- Sheep ROI = 16–20 days
- Max Happy Animals for increased drops
Mining: Deep Floors, Deep Pockets
Early game, sweep low floors repeatedly to get ores and make keys. The goal? Reach deeper levels where the real wealth lies.
Key Skills:
- Hidden Gems
- Rich Deposit
- Mystic Miner
- Looter’s Fortune
- Vacuumulus (mass gather + combat!)
- Treasure Hunter
- Precious Stones
Passive Boosts:
- Savings
- Industrial Feng Shui (if you decorate)
- Small Investor
Each full sweep of the deepest mine levels = 5,000–20,000 gold in gems and ore. Use excess ores for:
- Crafting armor (with Smelting Mastery, Armor Smith, Efficient Smith)
- Transmuting stone into copper at Alchemy Table
Sandstone Farming: High Return in Low Time
Once you get the Sun Outer Guard Pickaxe and max Blast Mining, sandstone becomes a daily goldmine. Clear both areas with Vacuumulus, sell it at the portal, and pocket 5,000–10,000 gold in just a few in-game hours.
Free Gold From Friendship and Boards
- Appreciation skill: 200 gold per romanceable NPC with 10 hearts (max 5 = 1,000 gold/day)
- Graduated skill: 500 gold/day if you’ve completed enough board quests
These two alone can create a passive income stream equal to early farming.
Crafting with Claude and Anne: Gold Machines
Claude’s Keepsake = 400 gold/day Anne’s Keepsake = 200 gold + 8 per item crafted
Stack with the Industrial skill. Strategy:
- Queue up cooking, smelting, or wood planks
- Before bed, equip Claude’s Keepsake
- In the morning, switch to Anne’s, collect, and watch the gold roll in
Marriage Perks: Claude is the Wealth Whisperer
Marrying Claude gives you:
- Wedding Ring = 450 gold/day
- With Keepsake = 850 daily gold
Also, he loves tomatoes—perfect match for your cooking empire.
Elven Grapes: One-Day Wonder Crop
Grow in one day. Huge gold return. But you’ll need to pour mana into them, so this method is high-effort, high-reward. Recommended only if you enjoy intense farming sessions.
Fishing: Nets, Rods, and Bubble Laziness
Passive Fishing (Nets):
- Small Nets: Max Bountiful Harvest
- Large Nets: Add Automation, Net Positive, Efficiency
- Buy Premium Permits
Active Fishing:
- Use Sylvia’s Rod
- Skills: Freshly Caught, Upgraded Lure, Twin Hooks, Lost Booty (for orbs)
Bubble Net Fishing:
- Max: Familiar Waters, Fans’ Fish, Mapping, Spawning Season, Can I?
- Golden Carp sells for 850 gold
Fishing is less profitable than other options but great for collecting orbs and tickets in Nel’Vari and Withergate.
The Final Answer: Do It All, or Do What You Love
There’s no single best method—but many powerful ones. You can:
- Run passive animals and Claude’s Keepsake
- Cook tomato bread while mining deep for gems
- Sandstone farm in the morning and fish in the evening
The trick is combination. Stack passive income while doing active loops. By Winter Year One, it’s fully possible to earn over 1 million gold, and then? Blow it on furniture or expansion—or keep compounding.
That’s your golden roadmap to fortune. Now go forth and become Sun Haven’s richest meerkat. Or wizard. Or whatever you like to be.
More guides to come—especially on orbs and ticket farming. Until then, happy gold grinding!
