Making money in Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game can be a slow process that requires patience. The main gameplay loop involves collecting ingredients and using them to cook meals. You’ll need to set aside some ingredients to sell so you can buy seeds, seasonings, meats, and grains.
Finding the right balance between saving ingredients for cooking and selling them is key. A few simple strategies can help with this. Items of higher quality sell for more coins, so working on improving the quality of your ingredients is beneficial. Growing more crops and gathering wild herbs will also increase your earning potential.
The main source of your income will be the ingredients you gather. However, it can be tricky to decide what to sell because you still need ingredients for cooking. As a rule of thumb, consider keeping three or four units of each ingredient before selling any surplus. Regular vegetables typically sell for about 20 coins each, but if you improve their quality, their value goes up.
Avoid selling pumpkins, rhubarbs, taters, and shallots as you will find many recipes that use these ingredients. Collect as many forageable items as possible; while each might only sell for around ten coins, their abundance makes up for the low price. Fish also sell for nearly as much as vegetables and can be caught at fishing areas. Using better fishing rods will help you catch higher-quality fish, which will fetch higher prices.
Selling a large batch of ingredients can earn you somewhere between 500 and 1,000 coins. Planting flowers around your crops can boost their quality, enabling you to sell them at a higher price once they’re ready. However, flowers cannot be stored in your pantry, so plan accordingly.
Invest initially in planting pots from Farmer Cotton to grow more crops efficiently. Gathering as many forageables as you can is also wise since their collective value will add up despite their individual low selling prices. Catching fish and increasing their quality with better fishing gear will further enhance your income.
Bulk selling your ingredients is a good strategy to quickly gain coins. When you grow flowers around your crops, their increased quality will allow for higher-selling yields. Additionally, completing main and side quests grants rewards in coins and items; main story tales usually reward about 50 coins, and side quests offer around 20 coins each. While these rewards aren’t as lucrative as selling ingredients, some quests provide rare items that can be sold for extra profit.
