Thank you so much for your quick response!
To be fair, my main issue with money was that I always seemed to unlock ways to spend it way faster than I could earn it. With the door, I kind of figured that final upgrade wasn't that important so I ignored it until the end, but it still made me feel like I was doing something wrong, and couldn't figure out what exactly it was.
Foraging is pretty reliable, as you mentioned, I did the foraging most of the time, except for the blue flowers. I didn't really notice them until fairly late into the game.
Fishing is not very good. It takes quite a bit of time and, it doesn't give a whole lot in return. I didn't do a lot of fishing until endgame, where I decided to give it a serious try, with maxed gear and skills, it still was very underwhelming.
The questboard gives some nice passive income, but with only 2 girls beingable to do actually useful work so far, it is fairly limited. I imagine with more options getting unlocked, the usefulness of the board will also increase. I usually had Lucy and Evie working in town, and sometimes Luna for pickaxes and such.
Mining is pretty much the best way to earn money right now. Little effort, very high gains, compared to everything else. The problem is, I waited way too long to build the canoe, because it felt like a major investment, and I was not sure if it was even worth it. In hindsight, I could have saved quite some time by unlocking mining earlier. With mining, I could start unlocking all of the remaining things (except custom cards, they are quite expensive for having no real use).
Overall, the money problem was not serious, and it didn't stop me from enjoying the game at all, it was just a bit confusing.
I'm glad chapter 1 will have so much new content! I honestly expected quite a bit less.
I have Delilah, but not Narissa. I did "finish prologue" at the bed, viewed that long cutscene a few times, in case it was bugged or I missed something, I even visited Leticia quite a few times to find info (since she was my main suspect), but I couldn't get her to show up in my deck.
There is also this quest that seems to be stuck. I'm sure all of my girls are at the max level available for this version. I thought maybe it's bugged, or unfinished, or maybe I just missed something, but since the update seemed to be just around the corner, I decided to wait for that first instead of just searching aimlessly. For some clue that might not even exist yet.
Thank you for your answers, and I hope I could help. Sorry for the delay, I kind of forgot about writing this. I will try seeing the ghost girl again then, as well as getting the holy headpat, I stopped at around 42 silver in the end, it shouldn't take that long.
I hope this wasn't too long to read, honestly I had to rewrite the whole thing because of an accidental page refresh, and it's pretty late so I hope I could give a helpful, clear description of my issue, and that it didn't end up being too long. :/
