Trapping is very underrated. If you can find the spawn points and you’re ok with your weapon just reduce the health of a few crocos and send ‘em off. You get the traps back in the mail. You can do this while you’re fishing and bug catching for the museum, too.

Never sell the disks to John, always sell them to Franklin.
Only sell your items if you really need to use the money, because you can save 50 of each and sell for 50% more profit to Jimmy (he appears on every rainy day) his boat will be around your island, just check the map on a rainy day to see a brown question mark for his location. Jimmy only buy items if you have at least 50 of them, he also sells you the Hand Glider for 1500 blue tickets!

After the Bloomin Update all of the artifacts had their sales value nerfed. I think saving the parts for making items is going to be worth more than selling the parts at this point. Fishing is a powerful money maker. Remember that tip about cooking meat? Cook the fish too. Most fish sell for less than if you cooked them. The more valuable fish produce more than one piece of cooked fish at a time. For example anchovies and stingray both produce 2 cooked saltwater fish when cooked. Focus on saltwater fish because they sell for more than fresh water.

Early game when you collect fruit on the map, grab a shovel and bury the fruit near your base. Create a fruit orchard. While the fruit doesn't sell for a whole lot, being able to gather large amounts with no real effort will pay off in the long run. Also take an axe with you and chop down wattle and bottle brush bushes. That will give you 0-2 seeds per bush. Plant those near your base as well. once you unlock brewing the bottle brush and wattle produce 2 of the best buffs in the game. The wattle brew (made with wattle tea in a keg) sell for 6k each. The bottle brew sells for slightly less. Like 5k each. You probably won't actually sell these, because the buffs are very good.

Fishing tip:
When you get the copper fishing rod and a row boat, go fishing up north at night, barracuda and tuna sell for a lot. I've made almost 200K dink with half an inventory of these fish. But I think these fish only come out certain seasons tho.

I've found that trapping is a good way to make money. If you trap a Bush Devil you get 12, 000 dinks and your trap the next day in the mail. I usually take a drop-off point with me, place it down close to any aggressive creatures like Wary Mu and Croco, mark the spot on the map so I can go back to it anytime. Plus if you're close to Wary Mu's you get rid of them by trapping and sending them to the research station you can take any eggs back to your base to sell to John using the scale... the eggs are around 15k to 25k each. You can trap less agressive creatures but they won't give as much money... and you can trap the glowing crocks and Bush Devils in the mine if you take a bunch of drop-off points with you. It's easy to make 100k+ a day with just a handful of traps.

Another awesome video. Not only does it get me psyched for when this does come to Mac and/or Switch, but I won’t feel so clueless or overwhelmed when I start.

[donnagibson]

Great tips! I really enjoy your videos. Your voiceover is very calming…the perfect speed. I’m still trying to decide if I want to get a new PC to play this game or wait to see if/when it comes to console. In the meantime I’ll watch your content!

I found that fishing is the best, even better than deep mining.. In Summer and Autumn, I aim to get mainly barracuda and yellowfish tuna or at least travolla. Consistently making at least 150k and the most is 400k+ in one trip after iron fishing rod. I start fishing from 6pm to 11.30pm in the north ocean. In deep mining, you’ll need spend whole day in the mines, another half day to prepare for superfood and also time searching for old keys. However, this method only works in summer and autumn.

Rather than hunting animals I like to trap them. Build a animal shipping thinger at each hostile spawning area, then just lure them into traps next to the thing and toss them in before they can break out. The tazzies are 12k each, and since trapping doesn't take any stamina it's an easy activity to do late at night.

[cosygracegames]

Anyone else watching all these without the game 🙋🏻‍♀️lol this is so interesting I wish it was on Mac or switch!

[dez]

Missed all the content for a whole week while we were away, I’m sorry I couldn’t get on to watch the videos right when you posted them 💙 loving everything you do!

[akrodot]

Not sure if this was mentioned but cook your fish first before selling, it can triple your profit as 55 thousand turns into $165k

[sarahsunstone]

Hey Blaine! 💗Stoked I was able to watch this today! I love your Dinkum content. 🥰Sorry I've been unable to stay through your last couple livestreams, you know how the grind gets sometimes.😴 Hope to catch the next 💖

Oooh commerce license! I’ve def been using metal detecting when I need to raise funds, but always keep bright wires, keys, and discs. Which is good for when I relocate my museum for the seventh time. 🙂

[sunnyann]

Awesome video! Great tips that I will definitely use. I’ve only made it to early fall so far and I’ve been hanging onto the metal detector finds thinking I would need them immediately. I now realize they are easy to find for the most part so I will be selling a bunch to John and Franklin!

[PurplePhenix]

I had to come back to this video months later because I STILL need them Dinks!
If I wasn’t already subbed, I would definitely dink that subscribe button.
