While playing Moonlight Peaks, you'll constantly be engaged in various quests that tell you more about the lore of the game and the characters in it. However, a large chunk of your time will also be spent going to the same areas over and over again to do various activities in them, including farming, mining, and fishing.

You'll also realize that it's a life simulator where everything requires money. If you want to decorate your house, get more seeds to plant, or add some life to your farm with livestock, you'll need money for everything. Thankfully, there are some easy ways to earn this money based on your playtime.

Best Ways To Get Money In The Early Game

When you first start in the world of Moonlight Peaks, you'll have just left home with a mere 600 coins in your pocket. This won't get you very far in this world since nearly everything you need easily costs over 1,000 coins. The first thing you need to do is buy some seeds from Luna and plant them.

You can buy these seeds at the seed stall to the north of your farm, and if you're solely thinking about profit, blood and white grapes are a great choice. These will take some time to grow, and you can spend this time to earn money with these methods:

  • While heading to the seed stall, you'll get a cutscene with Noel, which gives you a fishing rod. Use this every time you see a fish in the water bodies to catch them. Most fish sell for a reasonable price, especially in the early game, and they're free to catch.
  • While roaming around, you'll see a bunch of black spiral spots on the ground. Use your shovel to dig them, and you have a chance of getting some coin. You can also get diamonds from these sometimes, which sell for a whopping 2,000 coins.

You should register at the town hall as soon as possible so that you can have Chester at your base, which makes selling much easier.

Best Ways To Get Money In The Mid Game

The amount of playtime it takes to start the mid game of Moonlight Peaks depends on your own pacing, but it usually happens when you're around 20 days into the Spring season. By this time, you're used to most of the game's mechanics and also have access to the mines, which give you the ore to upgrade your tools.

Here are some of the best ways to earn money during this time:

  • You'll unlock the job board when you go to the Moonlight Peaks area on day 16 of Spring, and this is the perfect way to get some money quickly. Check this board every day and try your best to complete as many quests here as you can.
  • By this point, you can also start producing some wines and juices using your kegs, which is why getting blood and white grapes at the start helps you a lot. These products will easily net you thousands of coins every other day.
  • Fishing is a great source of income even during the mid game since the above tasks don't take a lot of energy, and you can use it all in the rivers where you find fish.

Best Ways To Get Money In The Late Game

As you get to the late game of Moonlight Peaks, you'll start automating a lot of your processes and you'll also get access to items that can let you make higher-quality products. For example, once you get Cheekens in your barn, you can get fertilizer, which can increase your crop's quality and, in turn, the quality of everything you make with them.

The main idea during the late game is to focus on raising the quality of items as much as you can. You should also try to process each item you grow or get from your livestock before you sell it. For example, fruits can be used to make wines and juices, while a lot of other crops can be used to make food recipes.
