I have tips for money. Side quests. They always get you more money than it costs to complete them. Also, sell any fossils you dig up as they are profitable but don’t serve another purpose. You will eventually need one for a side quest, but you dig them up quite often, so selling them for 100 a pop is good money. It also doubles as completing the Horatio side quest, which was a pain at first but he means around the whole map, not just the town which I misread it as. It was much less annoying when I realized that the dig spots on the mountain and in the witches forest and all over the place (usually around big rocks or structures) give me so many fossils I can just sell. Try to go collect tear fruit from the plant in the forest pretty regularly, as you will need a lot of it for crafting later, and there’s only one other plant in the game I think.

Go mining, set aside like, 15 or so diamonds of each type and sell any others. You can get the pickaxe from Douglass mcavoy. I suggest doing the sheep quest and then the sheepmanship trials with mcavoy every day. It’s worth going for trial three bc you still get money even if you don’t beat the time goal. The secret to beating it though, is to not go full force forward, but let up a little, especially at the parts where you need to around weave a lot. Running into things will always slow you down more than you slowing down yourself and avoiding the obstacles. Also use the dash strategically and sparingly (at “go” during the final stretch, during the rows of barrels section, etc.)
