Just play the game. U will make millions easy enough. I spend a 1 million a week and sell that to match. Mine if u like mining. I always buy mass amounts. You like hunting. Sell your loot. U enjoy running around, get mushrooms get beans. Inky leaf. Opals. ECT. There is always something for someone. It really ain’t that hard. I have made a alot of coin . But I don’t horde it. I spend it. Share the love. Help everyone. Boundless is a community after all.

I made almost all my coin simply mining. First thing is to take EVERYTHING.
One of the biggest tricks I learnt for some seriously quick and easy coin was to go to a T7 (Especially umbris) just before it was due tool expire, then go gather all the nicely exposed fossils. I could easily get 5 or 6ss in an hour and didn’t waste a single hit of my hammer.
Finally, and definitely the most “aggressive” tactic I used once I had 10m was to buy out market, then wait for it to rise before selling off. Before I went on break I had bought 40k ish of spicy beans for around 12-15c. We all know where they are now 
. If I saw something had a very low price compared to demand, and could easily be bought out I went and did it

I did though. After a 2 hour T3 hunt i made 101k from selling Oort. Sold most other parts as well, kept some blood for myself. But net roughly 50-60k per hour when it was all said and done.
T3 hunts won’t earn you as much as t6 or t5. Trophies are were the money is (as well as oort)

I mean, if grinding raw materials (beans/orbs/gems/hunts) is really what everyone is doing to make their coin then I guess I’ve got the strategy i just need to put in more time. But then early game economics are essentially exactly the same as late game…
I was really wondering about activities like buying low selling high, or which crafting markets are most profitable.
Like…:
- What is Park doing with the ore they’re buying? They’re actually buying above market value. Is that being smelted down for more coils? Or going into the deco metals market for filigree, circuit, and octogrid?
- Is the marble/mosaic market still profitable? Or is everyone crafting on their own?
- Are there any gaps in the craftables market in general? Or are raw ingredients really the way to go?
- In what markets might it be profitable to buy ingredients, craft, and sell some product?

All right, Im sorry if I’m going to ramble for a minute, but this isn’t a cut and dried question.
First, there’s two kinds of players here, and it seems to be at the root of these conversations and a divide between “I’m always broke” and “coins fall into my lap”. If you’re always broke then you need to figure out where your coins always go, and do some of that.
This has two effects, it saves you coin and it makes you coin. Problem (partially) solved, right?
I handled millions of coins before I ever put a million into a single pile and I think a lot of people in this game overlook their wealth to talk about their coin, too.
These hunts are basically for nothing but oort. T4 isn’t much better. If you want the valuable forge ingredients as loot you have to get on some T6 hunts.
There are lots of ways to make coins, IMO you can at least pick one that isn’t objectionable to you, and other than coin you don’t really need the output. It’s fine if that includes the minter but it’s better if it includes something that has a use and works into the economy.
Sap and Trunk got me into having “a few” million, just by handling sheer volume. I handled other stuff too, I had so many refined stone I had other people processing them in my shop.
That’s just one thing, I played a lot I could go on. But I spend money, once in a sort of ‘race’ with Aenea I hit 18m, it’s the most I ever had. Most of the time I have less than 10m. But once you have a couple million on hand pretty much any avenue in the game is open to you, if you want more coin.

I don’t mean to sound like I’m complaining. I’m not broke. I make enough to finance my needs and a little extra to splurge on quality building materials.
I was really just curious if there were any more advanced strategies to working within the market as opposed to harvesting raw resources.
U can see quite clearly park sells advance coils. Hence why he needs metals.also for his awesome build. There’s other ways to make coin. But why give away all. It’s like buying a puzzle book with the answer already done…explore the game. Try new things out

U could make a compaction farm. Peaty farm put request basket s. Compact it sell spark. I done this . I made money and didn’t have to do much.
Hmmm ok…
Beans are an early game strategy, and they’re great if/when you enjoy the gathering. They’re always good coin. They’re easy money, and if you’re looking to stockpile coins that’s not always the best money. But this is a game, so the balance depends on what you enjoy doing with your time.
Orbs are no longer a gathering issue. They’re regen block farmed to a commodity level, the minter is attractive to people right now. Gems are their own market. Hunting is for hunters.
If you like hunting, it’s good money. But it doesn’t look like (public) T6 hunts are every day activities in multiple time zones right now. But you might find a smaller group to hunt with.
Have you seen any of his builds? He’s reclaimed a lot but he might just be spending profits to build his next 20k plot masterpiece. Or, maybe aliens 
I’ve seen some vicious competition on marble prices, but people burn out too. If you maintain a nice selection of blocks you’ll get some customers. I’m not active in the current market so couldn’t tell you what types or colors are popular this instant.
Always make whatever XP you can from your loot. If you’re not gathering it to sell, process it to a useful phase and sell it to someone with less time, or machines, or whatever. Avoid selling raw materials, in most cases. Again excluding raw materials or something harvested to serve a current market, or tht you have surplus from your playtime.
Varies frequently. Learn about the minter though, and watch for large dumps of items that can be processed into profitable forms.
As for the advice about markets, you run a plant shop don’t forget to shop around for plants. I used to buy plants whenever I saw them for less than the base value of their loot and sometimes it was a lot of plants.
To sum up a bit:
- If you want or need more coin, set aside some time to make some coin.
- Look at your loot management, what are you hoarding, or underselling.
- Make your stuff available if you actually want to sell it.
- Watch for large competitive opportunities that suit your game.
I’m not sure what else

I did Millions with with marble but i Had really huge Stock talking about constant 750k marble in Sale so everyone knew yep there i Go If i Need marble . Also i did huge Orders , this i would do today too .
I ve spent over 20 Millions then in my kindling Farm and extended this to a size i can harldy Yield Same with combustion so i can sell this RAW or as Concrete and the Other coins i spent in forging RAW Material Like beans and having done this i got even more.
And the Other Thing IS i Go minig so you get rich alone from that really fast .
Hunts are Like the Others Said also a great way to earn Money.

Made an edit in the OP to clarify. I’m not trying to complain. Just curious of how others may have moved from gathering resources to investing their coin in some kind of market.

I don’t think you’re complaining here, it seems to be a pretty straightforward request for some insight.
You probably don’t need some of the stuff I just posted 
Still, it’s the tone of a lot of conversation here. I didn’t mean to distract from the topic.

I sell half of what I hunt daily, including half of my Oort. Hit one million the other day then spent half on weapons lol

@Rosa spent half your Money Other day But think about how many bows you got and how Long you can hunt with them and how much you ll earn so its a very good Invest to get even more coins you already Had .
This is the Key for everything you Need to Invest to get more If you want to.

Gather gold ore melt it in a furnace.
Smack it really hard with my hammer.
Tada coin… 
To add to this the long way around… sell mats when i need coin but most of it is invested in my build and upkeep.
So im always carrying 0c.
I know mining and hunting are a good way to go to make good coin.
That said a good shop does the same. My exchange shop (i had in the first year) had an average worth of 2mill in mats (sellable) and coin.
Made a low profit on items (bought->sell) about 1coin per item. Not much but it did the trick and kept it running. (Excess coin went in to tool and needed mats [especially tools to terra form])
Ill probably never reach the millions (al that coin in my diaper) because i invest it most of the time back in to shops (owned and other) when i have the coin for it.
[edit] it was “easier” to make coin back then as it was worth more (sometimes way way way more)

I only have a couple million flex, but I have never actively tried to make coin. I made about 1.5 million from minting Spark when that was first introduced to the game - as it was unintentionally minting for 28c per Spark, instead of the (I assume) intended 2.8c per Spark.
I still have about 1.9 million coin, only spend it forged tools, earn the rest back from coffers

Try hiring people to mine gems where you provide the hammers for a % of profit
The other good way to make fast coin is when new content drops.

I completely agree! Love hunting! I am not great at forging yet. But happy with how my game is going. Also I did make 1 million in a day! Not too bad lol…

If you’re looking to try and find profit in crafting, I recommend checking out this tool once BUTT is back up. It is good at getting an eyeball on the value of the crafted item vs the components. There are things I won’t craft, and just sell raw because the value goes down when crafted.
