How to Make Money Fast in Starsand Island
As you explore the island, you’ll regularly earn Coins through:
- Selling fish
- Selling crafted items
- Selling crops and cooked meals
- Completing Bulletin Board requests
- Filling out your Stamp Collection
Most of these methods work best when combined. Fishing and farming are the most beginner-friendly ways to earn money. They require very little setup and can be done daily without much effort. As you build stockpiles of crops and ingredients, cooking becomes one of the fastest ways to multiply profits.
For daily burst income, Bulletin Board requests are unmatched, especially when you already have items on hand. Meanwhile, the Stamp Collection quietly rewards you with thousands of Coins just for playing naturally.
How to Make Money With Farming
Farming is one of the most consistent and stress-free ways to earn Coins in Starsand Island, especially in the early game. Once you unlock the Farming Profession and start buying seeds from the Happiness Seed Shop, you can generate income every day with very little risk. Crops grow passively while you explore, fish, or complete requests.
As you complete Graminova’s quests and rank up from Beginner to Apprentice and then Junior Farmer, you’ll unlock higher-value crops that can increase your profits.

How to Make Money With Fishing

To maximize profits, fish in both rivers and the ocean, during different times of day and weather conditions, as this increases the variety of fish you catch and helps complete your Stamp Collection faster.

How to Make Money With Cooking
Cooking is a great way to multiply the value of your ingredients. While it requires more setup, the payoff is worth it. Cooked dishes almost always sell for far more than their raw components, making cooking one of the best mid-game money strategies.
Even simple recipes can double or triple the value of crops you would otherwise sell outright. Cooking also contributes to your Stamp Collection.
