Top Items for Completing and Solving Quickly in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar

Select Language:

You’ll quickly see in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar that the game focuses heavily on earning money. Money is needed for almost everything, including seeds for your farm, ingredients for cooking recipes, and upgrades for tools and other mechanics.

How much money you earn depends a lot on your choices. The main way to earn cash is by selling items at the Saturday bazaar, but the kind of items you sell makes a big difference.

Early-Game Money Tips
Once you pass the tutorial bazaar and start your farming journey, you have six days before the next bazaar. This continues until you reach around level four in the bazaar and unlock all three windmills. During this early stage, you won’t have access to most high-value or complex items, so focus on small, easy-to-get items:

Crops: Growing and selling crops is a key part of early income. Sell harvested crops immediately, but divide large quantities into stacks of about 20 for easier sale.
Medals: Earn medals by doing tasks or looking for mud on the ground and using your hoe. Higher medals (Gold, Silver, Bronze) are worth more, and they can be farmed efficiently early on.
Processed Animal Products: Raise animals such as chickens, cows, or sheep, and process their eggs, milk, or wool into higher-value items at the windmills. Herb cheese, for example, is a profitable product from the blue windmill.
Fish: Use your free time to fish in local waters. Selling raw fish is fine, but making sashimi can bring in more money.
Flowers: Forage or buy flower seeds, grow them, and sell the flowers. You can also make perfumes or dyes at the red windmill for greater profits, and herb-based perfumes are also good early sellers.

Mid-Game Money Strategies
Once you activate all three windmills, you unlock a lot more items you can process. Keep the windmills busy by making different products, and focus on these profitable options:

Ores and Gemstones: Upgrades to your hatchet allow mining high-tier ores like gold and orichalcum, which sell well. Found gemstones can also be sold directly or made into accessories.
Simple Recipes: Many basic dishes, like omelet rice or pizza (using cheese, tomatoes, and wheat), sell for over 1,000 coins each. Producing these with items from the windmills boosts profits.
Honey: Set up a beehive in the mountains. Depending on the flowers you plant nearby, you can gather different honeycombs. Processed honey sells for a good price.
Nuts: Collect walnuts or chestnuts (in autumn) from trees around your village twice daily. Process them into bottled forms or combine with oil to make high-value products.
Pickled Items: Use crops with vinegar (made from rice at the red windmill) to create pickled vegetables, which sell well in bulk. Grow crops suitable for pickling to maximize this method.
Tea: Seasonal leaves from tea crops can be turned into tins at the yellow windmill, then sold directly or brewed into tea if you have the recipes.

Late-Game Money-Making Tips
Reaching near the seventh rank of the bazaar marks the start of late-game. At this point, you can earn a lot more money by selling high-end items and focusing on stall upgrades.

Key late-game strategies include:

Complex Recipes: As you unlock more recipes, create dishes that can sell for over 4,000 coins each, depending on the season.
Trending Items: Each season has popular items. Once all options are available, focus on producing these trending items to maximize sales.
Decor Upgrades: Improving your stall’s decor can greatly increase your selling prices across the board.
Gemstones: Sell late-game gemstones like diamonds or pink diamonds if you don’t need them for crafting. These sell for high prices—around 15,000 to 30,000 coins per diamond—especially if you boost your stall decor.
Endgame Items: Sell all the best available items, including rare resources and high-value crafted goods, to maximize profits.

Remember: Avoid selling items outside the bazaar; always keep your sales within the game’s designated marketplace for the best returns.
