In the whimsical world of Sun Haven, gold makes the gears of progress turn. Whether you’re buying seeds, building barns, or just want to flex with a flashy wardrobe, money matters—and this guide is your full buffet of riches. From farming and cooking to mining and crafting, here’s how to fill your pockets and thrive. No pyramid schemes, just honest (and sometimes hilariously optimized) work.
Start With Smart Choices: Royalty and Riches From Day One
When creating your character, consider picking the Royalty passive, which grants you 1,000 gold at the start—more useful than some modest stat boosts. Combine this with a little haggling: bargain with Anne to get your starter tools for just 150 gold, leaving you 850 gold to kickstart your farming empire. If you’re committed to a gold-focused playthrough, pick the Riches Keepsake, giving 100 gold daily just for existing.
Farming: Seasonal Seeds and the Power of Multiple Harvests
Farming is the heart of passive income in Sun Haven. Focus first on multi-harvest crops, which yield repeatedly within the same season:
Spring:
- Peas
- Green Beans
- Kiwi
- Watermelons (lasts two full seasons!)
Summer & Fall:
- Cotton
- Coffee (best when processed in kegs)
- Honeysuckle
Winter:
- Candy Cane
Take peas as an example: costing 300 gold and growing in 12 days, they yield every two days after that. If planted on Day 1 of Spring, you’ll harvest them nine times, earning 675 gold for a 375 gold profit. Use Simple Earth Fertilizer (100 gold) to increase your chance of bonus yield, and pair this strategy with Tiller Step, Propagation, and Further Landskills to boost efficiency.
General Store Strategy: Tomatoes, Sugarcane, and Tomato Bread
The General Store sells all-season seeds that are ideal for cooking. Invest early in crafting a Cooking Pot and Baker Station, then plant lots of:
- Tomatoes
- Sugarcane
- Wheat
Why? Because Tomato Bread is king. Each loaf sells for 1,740 gold. The total cost to produce one? Around 760 gold, yielding a tidy 980 gold profit per serving. To unlock this method:
- Invest 3 points in Culinary Mastery
- Max out Leftovers, Propagation, and Thrift Hunter
Daily Deals: The Thrift Hunter Trick
Thrift Hunter makes the General Store a gold mine. Max it out and buy every discounted seed daily. Whether you sell the raw crops or use them in cooking, you’re turning daily shopping into daily profit.
Bonus tip: Craft Royal Totems for extra passive income while you’re at it.
Animal Income: Pigs, Sheep, and Golden Pomegranates
When it comes to livestock, pigs are underrated powerhouses:
- Pigs generate Earth Crystals (craft into Advanced Earth Fertilizer)
- With Golden Heart, pigs also give Golden Pomegranates, which restore 2 HP and mana and can be consumed infinitely for permanent gains
Alternatively, sheep give wool daily (250–275 gold with Top Shelf skill). They cost 4,000 gold and require just one point in New Friends to unlock at Kitty’s shop.
Animal upkeep tips:
- Max Food Delivery to avoid buying animal feed
- Plant wheat and convert it into feed at the Farmer’s Table
- Buy an auto feeder for 1,000 gold at Town Hall
- Don’t forget Zookeeper for more passive bonuses
Mining: Where Big Money Hides
Mining isn’t just for ore hoarders—it’s one of the most profitable ventures:
Early Game:
- Farm floors repeatedly for ores
- Focus on crafting keys to push deeper into the mines
Late Game Strategy:
- Unlock the final floors and use Vacuumulus at dense ore spots
- Gems from one full sweep can net 5,000–20,000 gold
Max out these skills:
- Hidden Gems
- Rich Deposit
- Vacuumulus
- Mystic Miner
- Looter’s Fortune
- Precious Stones
- Blast Mining
- Treasure Hunter
For passive perks, prioritize:
- Savings
- Industrial Feng Shui (if you decorate)
- Resourceful
- Small Investor
Smelt extra ore into bars, and craft armor with:
- Smelting Mastery
- Armor Smith
- Efficient Smith
Sandstone Farming: Short Bursts of Riches
Once you’ve unlocked the Sun Outer Guard Pickaxe and Blast Mining, start clearing sandstone daily. Clear two key areas with Vacuumulus, and you’ll be bringing in 5,000–10,000 gold in just 2–4 in-game hours. Sell sandstone directly at the portal.
Passive Gold From Love and Board Quests
Get rich by being a good friend! Max the Appreciation skill and build 10-heart relationships with five romanceable NPCs. You’ll earn:
- 200 gold per 10-heart NPC = 1,000 gold per day
Max Graduated for another 500 gold daily—just complete plenty of board quests.
Crafting: Stack Your Gold Overnight
Time to get cozy with Anne and Claude. Their Keepsakes give:
- Claude: 400 gold per day
- Anne: 200 gold + 8 gold per craft
Stack Anne’s perk with Industrial skill to multiply value. Here’s how to milk the most:
- Start your cooking, smelting, or crafting runs
- Equip Claude’s Keepsake before bed
- In the morning, switch to Anne’s for cash-out
Even making bulk wood planks works if you’re stocked on logs.
Marriage Perks: Why You Might Want Claude
Marry Claude and stack even more gold:
- His wedding ring adds 450 gold per day
- With Keepsake and ring, that’s 850 gold passive income every day
Plus, he loves tomatoes—easy gifts if you’re already mass-farming for cooking.
The One-Day Wonder Crop: Elven Grapes
Elven Grapes grow in just one day and offer the highest profit per crop. The catch? You need mana to grow them, and planting 200+ at once is labor-intensive. High return, high effort.
Fishing: Passive and Active Routes
Passive Fishing:
- Focus on Fishing Nets
- Max: Bountiful Harvest, Premium Permit, Automation, Efficiency
Active Fishing:
- Use Sylvia’s rod
- Max: Freshly Caught, Upgraded Lure, Twin Hooks, Lost Booty (for orbs)
Bubble Net (lazy fishing):
- Only Freshly Caught applies here
- Better for orb farming in Nel’Vari than raw gold
Fishing won’t beat mining or farming for income but works well in side areas.
Final Thoughts: Mix and Match for Maximum Gold
No one method reigns supreme—combine strategies for best results. Try:
- Farming + Mining
- Cooking + Crafting
- Passive Animal Income + Claude’s Wedding Ring
With smart skill investment, a bit of love, and elbow grease, you can rake in over 1 million gold by the end of your first year. Spend it on furniture. Or don’t. Live your best Sun Haven life!
Which method works best for you? Try a few, tweak your skills, and optimize your setup over time. Let your gold flow and remember—this meerkat’s got your back.
