While the game is likeAnimal Crossingin which players are urged to enjoy activities and decorate at their leisure, money is still a prominent part of the game. The currency inCozy Groveis based on coins, which can be collected in a variety of ways. Coins not only allow players to purchase decorations or resources to complete quests, but also to expand their campsite and upgrade shops.
6Collect Badge Rewards
Earning badges isCozy Grove’s achievement system.Players can earn over 200 badgesby completing objectives in certain areas of the game, such as caring for the animals or cooking. Scouts also earn badges after collecting enough items like fish or bugs. When an achievement is reached, the Scout can earn physical rewards that vary from gems to coins.
Meeting these objectives at an early stage of the game is pretty easy, since most of the badges are earned by simply playing the game. As the game progresses, it will take longer for Scouts to earn rewards. That being said, this is a sure way for beginners to earn coins at the start, however, they will soon have to look elsewhere.
5Donate To Captain Snout
This is another simple way to make some decent coins at the beginning of the game when players meet Captain Snout, the Grove’s residential pirate.The Captain Bear enjoys collecting and will give rewardsto anyone who helps him expand his collection. From fish to cooked meals, flowers to raw materials, this Bear will accept anything that players can find on the either, making it one of the better ways to earn money, especially for beginners.

When Scouts pick up items while wandering around the island, they can look in their inventory and see if it prompts the scout to donate the item. There will be a message under the description of it that will let players know if it is a new item that hasn’t been given away yet or not. While the Captain does not always give coins to Scouts, he will always give a worthwhile reward such as a recipe, which can be made and sold for a decent price, or gems, that are important on their own.
4Complete Easy Bear Quests
As the main objective of the game, it may be obvious that it is important to complete the different quests that the Spirit Bears give players. With every objective completed, coins are given to the players as a reward. Thequests range in difficulty and can go from time-sensitiveto quests that have to be set aside to complete for a while.
For the harder quests, money can be an obstacle. A Bear might need a crafted object or an animal, such as a deer or bird. Sometimes spending money is needed for these quests, and Scouts could be running low. The best thing to do is set those aside and grind on the easier quests for a few days before finishing the others. There will always be that one objective that sits in the Scouts taskbar for a couple of weeks to a month before getting completed, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
3Deal With Imps
Like the Bears that roam the island, there are imps that appear in certain places. These adorablecreatures will run away from Scouts that approach them and disappear, and they can be seen expressing a variety of emotions. Players can see the requests by looking at the speech bubble that appears over the imp’s heads. Most likely in the form of food or raw material, players will see a picture of what the imp wants, and usually, it is associated with what emotion the imp is feeling. For example, most imps that are seen crying will want the Scout to give them chocolate.

By simply tossing the specific food towards the imp, making sure to keep distance between the Scout and imp, the creature will come towards the food and eat it. Once the imp is seen happy and standing in one place, the Scout can then approach the creature and interact, receiving a reward which can vary from coins to recipes.
2Utilize Flamey
Flamey is the campfire in the center of the Scouts campground, and it is a huge part of the game. Interacting with the flame can spark a variety of options, such as expanding the campground, storing items, opening new areas on the island, or burning and cooking items. While Flamey does not directly give Scouts money, he is a useful tool to earn more coins. By burning items,Flamey can transform items into something new and potentially more valuable.
Burning fish can turn them into charred fish bones, and chestnuts into toasted nut flour. Some of the easier items that can be burned to sell are the resources found when digging in the dirt or leaf piles around the island. Raw ingredients, such as mushrooms, potatoes, and fruits, can all be burned to make roasted root vegetables and fruits. From how often Scouts find these ingredients, chalking up coins using this method can become a great source of income. So, while Flamey is not only a vital part of progressing the game, he is also a huge tool to earn coins.
1Purchase Items From Mr. Kit
This might sound counter-intuitive to some, but the best way to start producing a decent income daily isto buy products from Kit’s shopthat will be worthwhile in the future. Animals, trees, and bushes are the best items players can keep up with that is a constant source of coins. Harvesting fruit and animal essence is not only important to make sure players are stocked for quest items, but they can also be sold for a high price.
Trees and bushes will be ready to harvest every few days, and by feeding animals on a daily basis, players can easily grow their coin stash within a few days. While it may be tedious work to shake every bush and tree, and then take it to Flamey to burn, the pay-off is easy to see.
