Instead of vegetables, one can also put Cool Berries in the fermenter, getting berry juice. It restores almost as much HP as the vegetable one, and the berries are just free to pick up.

I find that that you can actually pass out inside your house with no negatives. I still woke up at 6 and kept my money. So I cooked and crafted pass the point whenever I needed to.

One big addition to the Job Points tip is that you gain Job Points for every job you have equipped even if you're not actively using it. So let's say you like the Shadow Assassin job and use it all the time. It's still worth equipping, for example, Mage and Fighter too because even if you never actively switch to them they'll still gain job points (and chances are you'll eventually start running into enemies where those levels in Mage or Fighter might come in handy).

"No matter how much you eat the night before when you wake up you will be starving."

Well at least the game is realistic

Regarding feed, high quality ingredients make more than their regular variety. Also, In addition to grass you can use the leaves you find to make woolum feed

I'd also say to get through the first two chapters quickly. Then in chapter 3 go to Nemea first. Many seeds you can buy there only grow in spring. The crops you can get from these seeds are also needed for the food delivery quests. Otherwise you'd have to wait a whole year.

My personal tips:
- Don't sell crops and fruit at all. Later on cooking becomes a lot easier and you can make around 6.5k per dish that takes 40mins to prepare
- Focus on the side quests. They give a substantial amount of grilla and will actually allow you to upgrade your farm and pens on stable rate for the first few levels.
- Get and upgrade your Cluffowl and Woolum up to snuff as fast as you can. It's pretty good money early on.
- Mountain stir fry's are your friend. Easy to make and you have easy access to them. You can get the materials on your farm and infront of the final teleport in high canyon.
- Don't buy seeds. Just go into any area and kill stuff. They tend to drop a lot of seeds, especially goblins. You also get seeds from side quests. So until you have that "passive" income just get your stuff from killing things. The main focus of the game is combat anyway.
- If you do want to sell your "hard earned" farm work, make sure to not do it until you can make the lv3 processing items. Like for 1lvl fermentil 1 fruit/veggie = 1 juice, lv2 9 fruit/veggie = 9 juice and lv3 25 fruit/veggie = 36 juice.

This video and all the comments are helping me so so so much! Thank you Josh and farming sim community! You guys are priceless and so is all your info and experience 🖤

[eggegg]

Thanks so much for the tips. I started playing yesterday and enjoying it a lot so far. I’m really glad I bought it despite the mixed reviews

[Jexxa.]

I'm in season 2, so far 5 of each crop has been plenty for me since I get by just fine in fights with the juices and the recipe that only requires wild ingredients.
The onions are the best crop to sell early game, you'll make a lot that way. That's how I was able to afford everything lmao.

I would add to upgrade your weapons and your party member weapons. It makes a big difference in the battles also.

[barbwatchesyt]

You work so hard Josh, I felt bad for asking for more Doraemon stream but you did it anyway and I hope you take enough time off to pamper yourself because you deserve it 😭

[ladyoblivious]

Man, the doctor fee.... yeah best not to make collapsing a habit because she likes to add on to her fees. At the moment I'm paying 1k+ every time I pass out from either battle or I didn't get inside the house in time. The only thing I can say for that is that it at least gives a warning if you're about to pass out. Like the screen starts to get shrouded in darkness, you don't even have to make it to the bed, as long as you made it inside your house it doesn't count as collapsing. I had a fun run where I barely made it, I used the bell, it teleported me and I passed out as soon as I got there. Can't get charged if the doctor don't know~ it doesn’t even matter if you don't have enough, she'll take every cent you got on you...
And I had a bit of a learning curve with the drinks mechanic, and I ended up going against a big boss with no stamina and a handful of drinks, I then learned that your allies won't attack if you don't, but if you keep pressing the attack button they'll attack even if you can't. Ended up becoming a starving healer for my party against a boss.

I was just searching for a video to figure out how to get rid of those pesky boulders but I learned a few things here! Thanks for sharing. I love this game lol

[katharyncurry]

Thanks for the tips. Currently waiting on my copy to ship to my house so I've been trying to avoid spoilers but I will certainly take tips!
Honestly your note wbout the job points is something I always struggle to remember in games with combat haha. Got through the first couple of chapters in ffx without touching the skills and wow what a difference once I did. Thanks for all your hard work as always!

[plipplop]

Regarding juice, it's better to stick to one variety, since you stack them up with only one slot, and backpack slots will always valuable, especially early game. I reccomend Berry Juice, since the berries are free to pick, just do 1 round of teleporting in your farm and you'll get plenty each day.

I just started playing a week ago and man I feel like i should've watched this video when I started. I'm almost finished with Spring and I don't feel like I've progressed as far as I should have. I almost want to start over before I get too far in!

[sammythehamster]

A lot make the mistake of rushing through when suppose to take your time. Do a little farming, explore and forage return and do some more next day. Not suppose to eat late at night anyways as can cause nightmares. The demo was too short to do everything. I heard the tree saplings are only thing unaffected by quietus. Thanks for useful tips.

[mewpity]

Thanks for this! I impulsively bought the game and it’s taking a while to download so I decided to watch this in the meantime. It was very helpful!

[jusuke]

thank god for videos like these. i put a lot of hours into this game early this year but coming back to it today and I've forgotten everything. near end of game so want to finish while also maintaining farm 😅
