There are 5 super handy money-making methods that work great in the late-game.
These methods require a lot of farming, but they can bring in some of the most gold you’ll ever earn in the game. So pick that hoe up and start prepping your fields!
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. Get Pineapple Seeds to Lv. 10
If you want great profit from simple honest farm work, grow pineapples.
These grow well in the summer, so it’s best to set your plantation up in the Summer Field.
There’s no need to replant pineapples until after harvesting them several times over, so these are incredibly worth it in the long run.
Every increase in level for your crops will also increase their value. So we suggest working towards getting your pineapple seeds to lv.10.
After that, ship one via the shipment box.
Because after you’ve shipped one then you can buy lv.10 pineapple seeds at Blossom’s general store.
The lv.10 seeds are worth 2800G, while the lv.10 pineapples you’ll get from them are worth 3200G when sold.
Every pineapple plant will yield 3 pineapples at harvest, which means that you earn 6800G net profit immediately after the first harvest.
But if you want to take your profits a level further then check out our next money-making method below.
2. Put Your Pineapples through a Mixer
You can sell the pineapples you harvest and earn great money.
But it’s better to turn them into Pineapple Juice first.
Lv.1 pineapple juice can be sold for 4,400G, but lv.10 pineapple juice is worth 13,200G!
That’s a whopping 413% increase in value compared to selling the fruit itself!
It’s definitely worth the extra step of popping a pineapple into the mixer.
3. Sell Turnip Heaven Recipes
If you want something more profitable than pineapple juice, selling dishes of Turnip Heaven might be more your style.
To make this dish, you’ll need the Turnip Heaven Recipe. You’ll get the recipe as a reward from the “Gain over 1 million G in total shipment value” request.
The dish requires:
- 1 Turnip
- 1 Pink Turnip
- 1 Golden Turnip
You’ll get a Golden Turnip seed after accepting Arthur’s request for a Turnip Heaven.
Once you’ve successfully cultivated your Golden Turnips, just sell one. You’ll then be able to purchase Golden Turnips from the Sincerity General Store.
Our advice is to get your Golden Turnip to lv.10 before selling it.
That goes for the Turnip and the Pink Turnip as well.
Once you have all your turnips (possibly all at lv. 10) then you can cook Turnip Heaven by using the Cooking Table.
If you’re buying your ingredients from the Sincerity General Store instead of growing them yourself, you’ll be spending 100,900G on raw ingredients for one Turnip Heaven. This is provided you’ve gotten them all to lv.10.
Seems pricey right?
But a lv.10 Turnip Heaven sells for 450,000G –that’s a 446% profit!
4. Farm Gold Crops & Make Gold Juice
Selling Gold Juice is the ultimate late-game money-making strategy that will have you swimming in more gold than you’ll know what to do with.
It’s also the most tedious method out of all the ones listed here.
We think you’ll find that it’s worth it though, because lv.10 Gold Juice can be sold for a whopping 2,400,000G!
You’ll first need to unlock the Gold Juice recipe.
This is unlocked via completing the “Ship a gold level 10 crop!” request from Eliza.
To receive this request, you’ll need to complete the series of requests below:
SCROLL
| Request | Task | Reward | Pre-requisite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvest a large veggie! | Grow and harvest a large vegetable. | Pineapple Seeds available at the General Store. | Complete “Harvest certain veggies!” |
| Harvest non-golden veggies | Harvest at least one of all vegetables except for gold crops. | Gold Potato Seeds available at the General Store. | Complete “Harvest a large veggie!” |
| Gift for Margaret! | Give Margaret a glass of Pineapple Juice. | Gold Pumpkin Seeds available at the General Store. | Complete “Harvest non-golden veggies!” |
| Raise total shipment fee! | Earn at least one million G. | Turnip Heaven recipe | Complete “Gift for Margaret!” |
| Give a Turnip Heaven! | Give a Turnip Heaven to Arthur. | Gold Turnip Seeds available at the General Store | Complete “Raise total shipment fee!” |

| Ship a gold level 10 crop! | Grow and harvest a level 10 gold crop. | Gold Juice recipe | Complete “Harvest a large gold crop!” |
Once you have the Gold Juice recipe, you’ll find that it requires:
- 1 Gold Turnip
- 1 Gold Potato
- 1 Gold Cabbage
- 1 Gold Pumpkin
- 1 Emery Flower
All the gold crops should be available at the store after you’ve completed all the requests above, except for the Gold Cabbage which requires the completion of the following request:
SCROLL
| Request | Task | Reward | Pre-requisite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Get a 25% shipment rate! | Ship at least ¼ of all the different types of items in the game. | Gold Cabbage Seeds available at the General Store. | Complete “Gift for Margaret!” |
After that, the only thing you’ll be missing is the Emery Flower.
To unlock the Emery Flower seeds at the Carnation Flower Store, you’ll need to complete the series of requests below:
SCROLL
| Request | Task | Reward | Pre-requisite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvest Blue Crystal! | Grow and harvest a Blue Crystal. | Blue Crystal Seeds available at the Carnation Flower Store. | Complete “Harvest a large flower!.” |
| Harvest Green Crystal! | Grow and harvest a Green Crystal. | Green Crystal Seeds available at the Carnation Flower Store. | Complete “Harvest Blue Crystal!” |
| Harvest Red Crystal! | Grow and harvest a Red Crystal. | Red Crystal Seeds available at the Carnation Flower Store. | Complete “Harvest Green Crystal!” |
| Harvest White Crystal! | Grow and harvest a White Crystal. | White Crystal Seeds available at the Carnation Flower Store. | Complete “Harvest Red Crystal!” |
| Harvest all crops except the Emery Flower | Grow and harvest at least one of everything except for Emery Flower | Emery Flower Seeds available at the Carnation Flower Store. | Complete “Harvest White Crystal!” |
Tip: To get seeds for the different colored crystal flowers, you’ll need to pick them up from a tree found by a cliff in Sercerezo Hill. This tree is found in the east area of the Sercerezo Hill map, and that area is marked on the map below.
There are specific seasons to get each colored crystal seed from this tree. We’ve detailed them below:
| Crystal Seed | Season |
|---|---|
| Blue Crystal Seed | Drops from the tree in Spring |
| Green Crystal Seed | Drops from the tree in Summer |
| Red Crystal Seed | Drops from the tree in Fall |
| Winter Crystal Seed | Drops from the tree in Winter |
Once you’ve gone through the grueling task of completing every request and getting all your crops to lv.10, you’ll have everything you need to create your grand Gold Juice business.
And it’s worth mentioning again that just selling one of your crops will allow you to buy the raw ingredients for the Gold Juice at the Sincerity General Store and the Carnation Flower Shop.
5. Sell Your Products at the Castle Shop during a Festival
You can sell your products for a higher price if you put them up for sale at your Castle Shop.
The Castle Shop is a store that you manage from your room in the castle.
To unlock this feature, you’ll need to put an order in for a Business License via the Order Symbol.
You’ll find the Business License under the licenses category, and it’s worth 1000 princess/prince points.
You simply need to put your goods for sale in the shop box and approach the window to start selling to tourists and townspeople.
The best way to get the most traction at your store is to sell during festivals.
People will be gathered in the town square and will take an interest in your shop once you open it up for business.
Customers will also buy your products for a higher price compared to the shipping price of the shipment box.
You can sell your Gold Juice for more than 3,000,000G per glass with this method!
But don’t worry. These customers seem to have endless stacks of gold to spend on your goods, so it’s OK.
And that’s it!
Try out each of these techniques and you’ll enjoy living a life of luxury in Selphia Town.
