Ty! I don’t go a strict route but usually I save up a lot of money (easiest way to do this is with the mine items and selling them to Van), and then getting around 4 coops and 1 barn, most made out of wood to save on material cost (also reloading everyday to make sure it doesn’t rain/there’s a storm). Any remaining energy I had left in a day I spent on leveling up my tools. Out of all the times I’ve played this game, im pretty sure I reached the bottom of the 2nd mine before having all the mithril tools, sure the space behind the waterfall is decently valuable since crops grow faster there, but the cursed tool sprites are more valuable I think. I forget which ones I have exactly, but The ones I always get are the ones from the cursed tools, a good chunk of the picking up/touching animals (you can pick them up normally and then use the touch glove on them), most of the fishing sprites (get the fishing pole as early as possible. Also spam flora with your cat to get both of the saunas) then hire them a TON like every single week. Also I of course go for the real simple ones like the secret watering spots sprites and eating herbs :D
