Saving up for Aristocrat Newspapers? Need a list of what some NPCs purchase items for? Want to have more money so that you can purchase books from the astrologer? Read my tips on making money in Graveyard Keeper.

Tips

Using rate potions will help you out tremendously. You can purchase them in the witch at the swamp for 1 silver each potion. You might also create them yourself on establishing the alchemy workbench II.

That teleportation rock the tavernkeep sells for a measly 2 silver? Purchase one. It is re-usable.

It lets you teleport home, to the tavern, to the lighthouse and to the marble quarry with a cooldown attached to it. Just delivered those food crates into the warehouse? Teleport back home to provide more.#

You may transfer items like crates and wood logs while carrying one by running in to it. This helps you do things like obtaining crates into the warehouse quicker.

In case you have difficulty with the thing being pushed up or down while pushing left or right such as when getting crates to the warehouse I find it easiest to put the crate down I’m holding to the left or right along with picking up the wayward crate and seeking to push the crate onto the ground again.

Doing the merchant’s food cage deliveries will probably be your best bet at earning money. So so as to make the most of gold he provides you need to know how to misuse the game a little.

When the merchant arrives he catches all the goods on the items in the warehouse. In addition, he catches them upon leaving.

Should you throw extra crates in or close to the warehouse you’ll be able to take advantage of this to market 10 crates of food per week instead of just 5.

Selling stuff to merchants

For the retailer I simply sell gold quality red wine, golden excellent grape pies and sausage soup.

Cooking isn’t the very best moneymaker but it gives you something to do while waiting for the retailer’s day to come around to sell all those crates of food and it does not require you to be in a channel holding down the craft button for the most part.

The bad thing about cooking is that most of the recepies that the retailer purchases can’t be queued up several at a time.

Prices per sold item for the merchant:

• Gold quality salmon 43c
• Silver quality royal fish 28c
• Gold quality royal fish 48c

The weapon smith is nice to sell to. Especially since if you run out of iron it’s an excuse to run to the marble quarry and hope you get some silver nuggets while digging up iron with that tech tree perk.

I like to sell rank 2 shovels to him. Especially if the shovel is close to breaking I just sell it to him and make another. Much cheaper than potentially having to buy a new whetstone at 10s.

• Steel ingot 1s43c
• Steel part 1s 40c
• Iron ingot 57c
• Simple iron part 44c
• Complex iron part 86c

The witch. Only seems to buy speed potions and frogs from you.

Preaching

My graveyard had a 528 rating and my chapel was rated at 70. This frees me 28 religion and 55 silver when performing a golden quality combo prayer.

Those small improvements you make add up to more gold per sermon. You also get that sweet candy 1s50c per burial.

As for if its worth purchasing candles in the Bishop in order to improve your chapel rating for that sermon… probably not? I haven’t attempted it.

I doubt that paying him silver to get a candle will have a return when it comes to 1/70 the grade of my chapel and the benefits are temporary. I dismissed buying and producing incense also.

Dungeon Delving

Do not be afraid to advance through the dungeon. As soon as you get those rate potions backtracking in order to kill all of the enemies on the ground looks less of a chore.

It’s also nice when you get far enough in the dungeon to find silver, silver and gold deposits. The gold and silver gives 9 nuggets along with the diamond residue provides 5 diamonds.

Fishing

I do not really look at fishing a good type of making money. Although… there is that 200 fish fishing achievement that is available if you are an achievement seeker. And it’s nice to occasionally do things other than running back and forth to the merchant.

I really did the math for trying to grab goldfish with a gold lure with a stone and it comes to 44 silver worth of bass should you catch the goldfish and tuna and market it all to the fisherman.

If you do not grab that goldfish you invested 5 silver for the golden lure with the stone and grab roughly 7 silver of fish. I caught 1 goldfish, 6 silver quality tuna and 3 copper quality tuna in 1 haul.

If you flip the lettuce into standard fish fillet and inhale it in to 3 Baked Salmon then market it to the tavernkeep you can become approximately 28c percent baked salmon.

This is roughly the exact same amount you’d get from selling the tuna to the fisherman. If you get lucky and it’s 3 gold quality baked salmon it is possible to sell it to the retailer for 43c per baked salmon.

I also tried fishing for salmon in the waterfall. I captured roughly 18 silver worth of salmon and carp with one gold lure with the gem that place me back 5s.

If I were to turn that fish into blue fish and sell it to the retailer as royal fish I’d get 48c. The salmon giving 3 fish noodle and the carp giving just 1.

Then theres is fishing for golden crucians in the river. Although this fish provides 4 blue fish fillet and one golden nugget upon being harvested it requires both gudgeon or anchovy to grab. This usually means you have to go catch those bait fish so as to catch gold crucians as the fisherman does not sell you bait fish.
