The best way to make money is through gardening. That’s the secret. The sooner you start this, the better. As soon as you start the game, use all the money you have to save up for crops, plant them, and keep doing this until you run out of planting spots. That’s all there is to it. Oh, and NEVER miss an opportunity to buy rare seeds, like the Magic Durian Seeds.

You want to focus on crops that you can harvest multiple times, not just once. For example, Corn gives you only one harvest, so it’s not very valuable. But a single Tomato seed will continue to give you harvests for all eternity.

When you first start playing Build an Island, you’ll have no Gold. Here are a few ways to get some so you can get started with gardening:

  • Collect gold resources (golden trees, golden rocks, golden bamboo, etc.)
  • Start keeping Bees
  • Use Coal to collect Gold from Mines

None of these methods is great at money making, but they should give you just enough so you can get started on your garden. From then on, it’s just a matter of growing your garden.

The only real issue with the gardening method is waiting for the crops to grow. Fortunately, you can speed this up. There are two main methods, and both are pretty easy.

  • Use Growth Potions – You can buy them or even make them yourself (You need 100 Bamboo Planks and 9 Tomatoes). These double the speed at which your crops grow.
  • Upgrade your Crop Growth – This gets more expensive the more you upgrade, but the results are very noticeable
