Hey there! So you're looking to get the most out of every dive in Dave the Diver? Smart move! Making money is key, and it all comes down to how efficiently you gather ingredients and what you serve at Bancho Sushi. Let's break it down. The Big Picture: Recipe Power Basically, the more a fish weighs and the higher its Rank, the more cash you'll get for it. But here's the real kicker: upgrading your Recipes makes a HUGE difference. Think of it like this: a Level 1 recipe is okay, but a Level 10 recipe? That's where the big money is. To get a recipe to max level, you'll need a whopping 221 of the same ingredient. Also, recipes that use seasonings or plants alongside fish tend to sell for way more than just fish alone. Ingredient Availability is Key How fast can you max out a recipe? It really depends on how much of the needed ingredients you can get each day. Some fish are super common, others not so much. Seasonings can be gathered through Dispatch missions, but you'll need to invest a bit first. Plants are a bit trickier. Rice from Otto's Farm is plentiful, but other sea plants are rarer, and eggs? Even rarer, especially Grade A ones. So, recipes that rely on common fish are generally your best bet for quickly maxing them out. For the rest of the game, focus on recipes that use fish that are easy to find, or ones that use common early-game seasonings and plants.
