Getting money
"See that shiny gold coin next to your hunger bar? Text that says ¥0.00
?
That's your balance! Yup. That means you're broke! It's time to earn some
money!"
Money is measured in Yen (¥), the currency used in Japan. You don't need to know much else about it really, besides the fact that it's also the currency used here in Gensokyo.
There are three primary methods of acquiring money: fishing, selling items, and quests.
Fishing
Cast a line and relax by the water, try and catch a fish or two. Or instead, get on the grindset and get that hard earned cash!
To start, you'll need a fishing rod. Cast out a line, and wait. Fun fact: there will be a lot of waiting. Once something bites, you'll enter a little minigame. There'll be a line that moves across a bar, and you'll have to right click when it enters a green section of the bar (unless otherwise specified, e.g. when it says "YELLOW!"). Successfully completing the minigame will give you one of the many different types of fish, or loot, if you're lucky.
Selling fish is a different process from selling resources. To sell fish, use
the command /sellfish
.
Refer to this page to go more in depth in fishing!
Selling items
You're probably going to get lots of resources as you survive. Probably more than you'll actually use. Some of these resources can be sold for money, allowing you to go and purchase other things you might need instead!
To sell items, head to Hakurei Shrine and find Rinnosuke. Find and item that is eligible to sell, and right click it. Use the GUI to increase or decrease the amount to sell, then hit confirm. Alternatively, you can middle click the item to instantly sell all of it (But this currently doesnt work!).
Most sellable items include: ores, crops, seeds, and mob drops.
Quests
As of right now, there are very limited quests (they're still WIP). Quests will be simple tasks, that reward you with money. To start, visit Hakurei Shrine and talk to Reimu (otherwise known as the Quest Master). There, she will offer several quests, each with a different task to fulfill.
The most notable quest is the daily quest. You can complete it every day to earn a sizable amount of money (for the amount of work it takes to finish it).
To start a quest, simply left click any of quests.
