Moonstone Island: Best ways to earn money fast
There are plenty of different ways to get yourself some cash in this game. Typically, it comes from selling items, but there are some tricks to this. How you can earn money fast in Moonstone island is by selling gems, Ingots, and Spirit Research.

First of all, you’ll quickly discover donating Spirit Research is the best way to earn the most amount of money. The first time I turned in research at the Science Center, I earned myself around 5,000-8,000 gold. This was after only having played two in-game weeks and finally discovering that Spirit Research makes bank. Every few days after you’ve tamed, fought, or hatched new Spirits, take a trip to the Science Center.

Other than that method, you should definitely sell things. But don’t sell everything, since even gems have some other uses. Gems, while good for selling in your sell crate, are actually used in certain crafting recipes. Although their descriptions say they’re only good for selling, it’s wrong! Some recipes I’ve noticed require a blue or green gem. I recommend whenever you collect them from digging through chests, you keep a few and sell the rest.

Now what about Ingots? Well, don’t sell them through the sell crate. Sell your Ingots to Ferra at the Smithy, since she buys them for 150% of what they’re worth! You’ll find tons of copper and iron throughout the islands, which you can turn into Ingots using a Furnace. They sell for quite a bit if you sell them to Ferra. Just make sure to not sell all of them, as you’ll need Ingots for crafting items and upgrading tools.
Other than the Smithy, there are other places in Moonstone Island that purchase items from you at a higher price. Sell seeds at the nursery/greenhouse, or you can even sell Spirit resources to the Science Center, both for 1.5x the price.
