Summary
Cozy management simulation gameSpiritfarerdeals with very difficult topics like life and death and the consequences of trauma.The very emotionally effectiveand enthralling narrative is underscored by a sublime soundtrack, compelling characters and some very addictive gameplay elements, including food production and cooking.
Glims, the in-game currency, can easily be earned right from the beginning by growing certain foodstuffs, which speeds up progression and opens new avenues to make more money. After unlocking the kitchen, cooking can even increase the value of some produce drastically. Here are some of the best food items to sell, ranked based on profitability, but with the ease of acquisition kept in mind.
8Cups Of Tea & Coffee
Easy Glims In The First Few Hours
Some of the first seeds acquired in a typical playthrough are tea and coffee, which are to begrown in the field building. These can be purchased from Raccoon Inc. traders where a coffee seed will cost Stella 75 glims, and each tea seed sets her back 150 glims. It’s a worthwhile early investment, especially when glims are tight in those first few hours.
Each seed yields two coffee beans and two lots of tea leaves, respectively, and the best way to maximize profit is to cook them into cups of tea and coffee. Every cup of coffee nets a very tidy 140 glims, but tea is the real moneymaker, pocketing Stella 400 glims per cup.
7Cooked Shrimp & Squid
Fish At Night For Maximum Efficiency
Another handy way of making money in the early hours of the game is through cooked shrimp and squid. After Atul teaches Stella how to better utilize her fishing rod, she can thenreel in more difficult catches. The ship will most likely still be in the Hummingberg region at this point, so squid and shrimp will be two of the most common catches.
Cooking them increases the value, as shrimp cocktails and squid skewers will each sell for 250 glims, and the first few spirits don’t really enjoy these meals, so selling them is the most sensible option. The recipes are easy to cook too, requiring only a solitary ingredient in each, so a kitchen upgrade is not necessary.
6Lettuce
High Profit Margin In The Early To Mid-Game
When venturing to the Furogawa region for the first time, it’s highly recommended to look out for lettuce seeds in crates and chests or even purchase them from Raccoon Inc. traders. Costing a meager 35 glims, a fully grown lettuce can fetch 250 glims in return, banking Stella a very healthy profit.
Each seed only yields one lettuce, and other leafy veggies like cabbages and celery can also provide a very good return on investment. In the early stages of the game, selling lettuce and other leafy vegetables is a great way to earn enough glims to upgrade the ship quickly, opening new areas to explore and new resources to obtain.
5Egg-Based Meals
Egg Recipes Fetch High Prices After An Initial Investment
A moneymaking practice for much later in the game, buta lucrative one nonetheless, is cooking egg-based meals to sell. An initial egg must be purchased from Raccoon Inc. in Oxbury, costing 440 glims, but players will soon turn a profit on this investment if they have a chicken coop built on the ship.
Incubating the egg causes it to hatch into a chicken, which can then produce more eggs and only requires some seeds for nourishment. Up to six chickens can be kept in one coop, regularly providing fresh eggs, which can be sold for 220 glims each or cooked to sell for between 310 and 515 glims, depending on the meal.
4Onions
Low Yield, But High Reward
The misty Crow’s End region, located in both the north-east and the south-west of the map,holds many secrets, one of which is the humble onion seed. Once again, these seeds can be found in crates and chests or can be bought for 250 glims at the Greymist Peaks Raccoon Inc. store.
Only one onion is pulled from each harvest, but a 1200 glim selling price is a whopping return, especially later in the game when upgrades and construction projects are more expensive. Onions are required in very few recipes, and cooking them can even reduce their value, so it’s best to sell them in their raw form to earn thousands immediately.
3Garlic & Garlic Bread
Good Value When Raw Or Baked
Unlike onions and lettuce, garlic is grown in the field, producing two garlic bulbs for every seed. Most players will encounter garlic for the first time at Sandwich Walk, where two garlic seeds are in a chest on the platform on the left. Otherwise, seeds can be found in crates around the Industrial District, or they will cost 180 glims at the shop in Greymist Peaks.
Each garlic can be sold for 520 glims, but cooking them with wheat flour produces garlic bread. Not only is this Bruce and Mickey’s favorite meal, but it’s also valued at 630 when sold to Francis or the raccoons. At two heads of garlic per seed, Stella will bag over 1000 glims of profit per harvest.
2Uncooked Tuna
Several Tuna Locations On The Map For Easy Money
Observant players will notice the seven tuna spots on the map as they gradually uncover it. While in these locations, Stella should go fishing to successfully reel in tuna, which can be tricky but repeatable if there are some failed attempts.
Selling a tuna fetches between 300 and 750 glims depending on the type of tuna, with yellowfin being the most valuable. Cooking tuna is not worthwhile unless it’s required for a quest, butthe shrewdest spiritfarerswill save their tuna for Francis’s errand, “Honey, I Shrunk The Fishes.” Giving him one of each type of tuna brings in 5000 glims and a jar of honey, and it can be claimed again upon future encounters with Francis, like many other errands.
1Olive Oil
Earn Thousands Of Glims Daily
One of the most remunerative ventures in the entire game is making olive oil. It requires a few steps to get there, but the benefits are great, with Stella potentially showering herself in thousands of glims every day. Olive seeds can sometimes be found in crates around the Oxbury region but are otherwise available at the Edgeborough Lane store for an exorbitant 2120 glims each.
Planting these seeds in orchardswill grow olive trees, which sprout seven of the little green fruit per tree within a day or two, even if the orchard hasn’t been upgraded. Upgrading the crusher is vital here, as one olive can be crushed into two bottles of precious oil, which is worth 200 glims per bottle.
