The initial days are heavily scripted, but you can maximize your productivity within the limited time.

Farming supports your RPG progression through food and income.

Complete side quests (white NPC markers) for large Grilla rewards (up to 15,000G) and free seeds. Fishing is another reliable early-game money maker.

Crops wilt during Quietus (the 31st day of each season), so plan your planting cycles carefully. For example, plant crops that take three days to mature no later than the 27th.
