Sooooo. Coins. Main way you progress. Might seem like a blockade, since it seems like the only good way to earn coins is quests. However, there are two other ways to earn a good amount of coins that I have seen.
1 - Shells
Shells and Sand Dollars are items found on the beach parts of the wilderness. They are fairly common, and respawn every couple hours or so. They sell for a good amount (100 Per sand dollar, 50 per shell), which means you can make a quick couple hundred gold by just going through and getting all your shells and sand dollars every couple hours. Save a few though, you still wanna do quests.
Also you can make more money with a pet that has pick-up bonus.
2 - Fishing
Unlocked at Level 12, fishing is 100% worth the 500 gold you need to get the fishing rod. I generally make 1000+ per fishing trip, and it’s easy. It does require you to answer more questions, but you also can’t really run out of fishing spots, because fish respawn insanely fast.
Also you can make a LOT more money with a pet with fishing bonus, such as dog the cat. (it’s like 10% chance to proc at Level 1. )
yea that’s all I have. good luck folks.
also first English guide yeeeeee.
