The easiest way when starting out is to explore the wilderness in the overworld until you come across those randomly-generated shrine(?) areas(?). You’ll see an altar surrounded by multiple heavy big pillars. You can lug them back and sell them (or ship them). The reason why this isn’t worth it later on is because it takes time to find these (they’re not rare at all, but they’re not super common either? Just slightly uncommon at worst), and the amount of money really isn’t worth it. By the time you can lug all of them, you can easily make at least 10x that much from a single job request that pays in the couple thousands. And also it’s such a time waster to have to walk back and forth to drop them off and sell them. I say this because you can’t grab them all at once (early on, anyway, which is when these matter more or are more helpful) because above a certain encumbrance level, you get “Squashed” and you can’t move at all. And if you’re “Overweight”, while you can still move, you risk taking fatal damage that can kill you if you’re traveling in the overworld back to your base as you carry these, in which case you risk dropping your money (because death), so… usually, you grab one or two at a time, make the trek back, drop them off, come back, grab 2 more, repeat. It’s a massive waste of time. But this gives you a nice starting amount of money if you’re struggling.

This got nerfed, but making mushroom wine. Mushroom crops grow extremely quickly, and you can let them ferment into mushroom wine (which don’t sell for a lot, but decent enough when you’re starting out). You’ll need to start a mushroom farm (please pay attention to the tutorial), get the recipe of “Brewery barrel” from Farris (main story quest-related NPC), and then you can craft it at the “Workbench”.

So mushrooms ferment into mushroom wine, and you can ship that.

Crim powder also sells for an even nicer amount, but crim berries take rather long to grow, and you’ll need a “Millstone” to grind 2 crim berries together to make crim powder. I mean, just ask the people on Discord if you want to start doing this. It’s too much work to explain here (and for you to start doing it) in exchange for what it gives tbh.

Now beehives and sugar wine? Now this is something even I still do.

Lastly, you can also look into bonito flake wine. It ''is'' less “afk” than sugar wine, but is more money. You will need to be actively fishing though, first of all. (Which is why I personally don’t do this one though because I’d rather make money doing Nefias. But I guess this is great for the slow life folks.) But with your fish that you get, take them to the sawmill and saw them down into bonito flakes. You get varying amounts, but each fish can yield up to 5 (at least, my highest I’ve seen is 5; it could be higher but I don’t do this like I said so I don’t know). Take these bonito flakes to a brewery barrel and let them ferment into bonito flake wine.

Rake in your massive profit.

As of version EA 23.6, “bone powder” was added to the game. This requires that you grind 2 bones together at a millstone. (So basically, it’s the same thing as crim berries and crim powder, but just replace “crim” with “bone”.) So it’s even easier now.

* '''Lulwy of Wind''': orz My favorite goddess. Anyway, mushroom wines are the easiest since you can start right away and you’re not losing out on too much money by offering them. Refer to the “Making money” section where I detail how to start making mushroom wine.
