Making money in Fae Farm is crucial for upgrading your farm, inventory, and tools. While mining gems is often considered the best method, there are plenty of alternative money-making strategies. This guide covers the most effective ways to earn Florins, starting from early game all the way to late game, so you can maximize your profits efficiently.

Early Game Money-Making Methods (Before Unlocking Mines)

1. Fishing

• Two Fish Rarities: Common (20 Florins) and Rare (35 Florins).
• Grilled Fish sells for 23 Florins, but grilling removes rarity-based pricing.
• Fishing Profit Estimate: ~600 Florins per in-game day.
• Best Practice: Sell fish as is rather than grilling them.

2. Critter Collecting

• Critters provide valuable resources (e.g., butterflies = flutter dust for wings and potions, bees = honey for tree propagation).
• Selling Critters: Average daily profit ~481 Florins.
• Best Practice: Sell excess critters but keep rare ones for crafting.

3. Farming (Most Lucrative Early Game Method)

• Turnips are the cheapest crop (5 Florins per seed from Holly).
• Best Strategy: Plant 108 turnips in a rotating 3×36 grid.
• Process:
  1. Day 1 – Plant 36 seeds.
  2. Day 2 – Plant 36 more seeds.
  3. Day 3 – Plant final 36 seeds.
  4. After 4 days, you’ll harvest crops daily.
• Sell Turnips as Roasted Roots (736 Florins/day guaranteed).
• Bonus Tip: Use the Garden Bench to convert turnips into seeds and avoid buying more.

Early Game Goals (Why You Need Money)

• Inventory Upgrades: (500 → 2,500 → 8,000 Florins)
