Are you ready to dive deep into the ocean and build your fortune in Abyss Roblox? As an experienced Abyss diver, I’ve spent countless hours exploring every corner of this underwater world to uncover the most profitable money-making strategies. Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking to optimize your late-game earnings, this comprehensive guide will transform you from a struggling beginner into a wealthy deep-sea tycoon.

In this guide, I’ll share everything I’ve learned about making money fast in Abyss, including the most profitable NPC quests, the best fish farming locations for each game stage, mutation hunting strategies, and pro tips that most players miss. Let’s get started!

Quick Overview: Money Making Methods by Game Stage

Game Stage	Best Method	Expected Earnings	Required Equipment
Early Game	NPC Quests (Forgotten Deep)	$3,000-5,000/hour	Starter Tube, Basic Gun
Mid Game	Ancient Sands Fish Farm	$10,000-20,000/hour	Pufferfish Tube, Crossbow
Late Game	Spirit Roots Whale Hunting	$50,000+/hour	Oxy Tube, Magroot Gun

Understanding the Money System in Abyss

Before diving into specific strategies, it’s crucial to understand how money works in Abyss. Money is your primary progression tool – it allows you to purchase better tubes for deeper dives, more powerful guns for catching rare fish, and essential items like oxygen pods and storage upgrades.

The most successful players in Abyss understand that grinding endlessly isn’t the answer. Instead, smart money-making comes from knowing where to fish, which fish to target, when to hunt for mutations, and how to maximize quest rewards. I’ve seen players with half my playtime earn double the money simply by following these optimized strategies.

Early Game Money Making (Forgotten Deep)

Complete All Tutorial Quests

Your first priority when starting Abyss is to complete every quest from the Kraken NPC. These tutorial quests are designed to teach you the game mechanics while providing a significant money and Star Shards boost. Don’t rush through them – take your time to understand each mechanic as they’ll be essential for later money-making methods.

Key Kraken Quests to Complete:

Basic fishing tutorial
Equipment purchasing guide
First tube upgrade quest
Introduction to mutations

Focus on Mr. Black and Virelia Quests

After completing Kraken’s tutorial, immediately seek out Mr. Black and Virelia NPCs. Their quests are specifically designed for beginners and offer excellent money rewards for simple tasks. I recommend completing all their quests simultaneously to maximize efficiency.

Pro Tip: These NPCs often give quests that complement each other. You can complete multiple objectives in a single dive, saving both time and oxygen.

Start the Diver Questline

Once you have enough money for the Pufferfish Tube (around $1,500), head to the Diver NPC. His delivery quests are some of the most profitable early-game activities, offering easy cash and valuable potions. With the Pufferfish tube, you can complete up to 6 of his quests, earning approximately $3,500 in a relatively short time.

Early Game Fish Farming

While completing quests, focus on catching Salmon and Mahi Mahi. These fish offer the best balance of money and experience points without being overly aggressive like Barracudas or Pufferfish.

Why Salmon and Mahi Mahi?

Decent money payout ($50-100 each)
Good experience gain
Non-aggressive behavior
Common spawn rate

Essential Early Game Purchases

Save your money wisely in the early game. I recommend these priority purchases:

Fish Radar ($450) – Buy from Richard in Forgotten Deep
Pufferfish Tube ($1,500) – Unlocks Ancient Sands access
Air Rifle Gun ($2,000) – Better damage for tougher fish

Important: Don’t waste money on intermediate tubes and guns. Save up for the Pufferfish Tube as it’s your ticket to much more profitable mid-game areas.

Mid Game Money Making (Ancient Sands)

Upgrade Your Equipment

Once you can access Ancient Sands, your money-making potential increases dramatically. I recommend purchasing the Crossbow Gun as your priority – it’s powerful enough to handle most fish in this region and relatively affordable.

Equipment Priority:

Crossbow Gun (essential for Ancient Sands)
Skip Boat Tube (not worth the money)
Save for Zepline Tube (after 5 Diver quests)

Complete Marcus and Grumpy Hank Quests

The Ancient Sands region introduces two new quest givers: Marcus and Grumpy Hank. Completing all their quests will net you around $20,000-$25,000 from each NPC. That’s nearly $50,000 just from quest rewards!

Quest Strategy:

Complete Marcus and Grumpy Hank quests simultaneously
Continue Diver quests that take place in Ancient Sands
Focus on delivery and collection quests first (faster completion)

Mid Game Fish Farming Strategy

In Ancient Sands, focus on these profitable fish:

Early Mid Game:

Cod – Decent profit, non-aggressive
Blackfin Tuna – Good money, moderate difficulty

Late Mid Game (after Wasted Gun):

Shark – High value, but aggressive
Bigmouth Fish – Excellent money, requires better gear

Pro Tip: Always use your Fish Radar to identify mutated fish. A single mutated fish can be worth 5-10x the normal value, making mutation hunting incredibly profitable.

Mutation Hunting in Ancient Sands

The Ancient Sands region has a higher spawn rate for valuable mutations. Focus on finding these high-value mutations:

Mutation	Multiplier	Value
Gold	2x	High
Negative	2x	High
Invisible	2.5x	Very High
Shadow	6.66x	Extremely High
Angelic	7.77x	Extremely High
Abyssal	8.5x	Maximum

Mutation Hunting Strategy:

Use Fish Radar constantly
Skip normal fish unless necessary
Prioritize Shadow, Angelic, and Abyssal mutations
Consider server hopping for better mutation spawns

Late Game Money Making (Spirit Roots)

Equipment Upgrades for End Game

Spirit Roots requires significant equipment upgrades. Here’s what I recommend:

Tube Progression:

Skip Rukiry Tube (minor depth improvement)
Go straight for Oxy Tube (superior stats overall)
Consider Victor’s Shop tube (best in game, requires Isolde quest completion)

Gun Progression:

Upgrade from Wasted Gun to Magroot Gun immediately
Save for Morveth’s Treasure Gun (best in game)

End Game Quest Strategy

The Spirit Roots region offers the most profitable quests in the game. Focus on:

Primary Quest Givers:

Lumi – High-value quests with great rewards
Isolde – Unlocks Victor’s Shop (best equipment)
Continue any remaining Diver quests

Isolde Questline Priority: This questline is crucial as it unlocks Victor’s Shop, which contains some of the best guns and tubes in the game. The investment in completing these quests pays off tremendously in the long run.

End Game Fish Farming

In Spirit Roots, even common fish are valuable, but focus on these high-value targets:

Epic Fish (Primary Targets):

Sailfish – High value, aggressive
Hammerhead Shark – Very profitable, dangerous
Whale – BEST money maker in the game (functions as mini-boss)

Common Fish (Good for steady income):

Pacific Fanfish – Decent value, easy to catch
Napoleon – Moderate profit, low threat
Jellyfish – Be careful, they sting!

Whale Hunting Strategy

The Whale is the ultimate money-maker in Abyss, but it’s rare and functions as a mini-boss. Here’s my strategy for consistent whale hunting:

Whale Hunting Tips:

Server hop frequently (whales have long respawn timers)
Use Magroot Gun or better (required to damage effectively)
Bring oxygen pods and healing items
Hunt with a team if possible (whales have high health)
Focus on mutated whales (extremely rare but incredibly valuable)

Expected Earnings: A single whale can be worth $5,000-10,000, with mutated versions worth significantly more.

Advanced Money Making Strategies

Race Selection for Money Bonus

Your race choice significantly impacts your money-making potential. If you’re starting new or have Star Shards to reroll, prioritize these money-boosting races:

Best Races for Money:

Sea Angel – Passive money increase
Kraken – Money bonus from fish sales
Anglerfish – Increased selling prices
Spirit – Money gain multiplier
Shark – Bonus money from aggressive fish

Pro Tip: If you don’t have a money-boosting race, save Star Shards for rerolls. The long-term benefits are worth the investment.

Artifact Optimization

Artifacts provide powerful passive bonuses, with King’s Fortune being the most important for money-making. This artifact provides a 10% cash bonus on all sales.

How to Get Artifacts:

Crack geodes throughout the world
Complete certain quests
Purchase from specific NPCs
Find in treasure chests

Essential Artifacts for Money Making:

King’s Fortune – 10% cash bonus (essential)
Fish Crate – Bonus fish storage
Rune of Might – Increased damage (faster catches)

Chest Farming Strategy

Treasure chests are free money scattered throughout the world. Here’s my systematic approach to chest farming:

Chest Hunting Tips:

Purchase Minimap ($2,450) from Jeff NPC in Ancient Sands
Use minimap to locate nearby chests
Focus on safe dome areas (higher chest density)
Server hop for chest respawns
Save keys from quests for secret chests (huge payouts)

Chest Types:

Regular Chests – $100-500 + items
Secret Chests – $2,000-5,000 (require keys)
Event Chests – Variable value during events

Server Hopping Strategy

Server hopping is an advanced technique that can significantly increase your money-making efficiency:

When to Server Hop:

After clearing all valuable fish in an area
When hunting rare fish (Whales, high-value mutations)
After collecting all visible chests
When quest items aren’t spawning

How to Server Hop Effectively:

Join different servers with low player counts
Check spawn points immediately upon joining
Move quickly between hotspots
Don’t spend more than 2-3 minutes per server unless finding good results

Pro Tips and Common Mistakes

Money Management Best Practices

After playing Abyss for hundreds of hours, I’ve learned these crucial money management principles:

DO:

Save money for major equipment upgrades
Invest in Fish Radar early (pays for itself quickly)
Keep emergency funds for oxygen pods
Sell fish in batches when possible
Store valuable fish in portable stash before risky dives

DON’T:

Buy every minor upgrade (wastes money)
Die with expensive fish in inventory
Ignore mutations (huge missed opportunity)
Forget to use money-boosting races/artifacts
Rush into deep areas without proper equipment

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Upgrading Too Frequently – Many players waste money on incremental upgrades. Save for major jumps in capability.
Ignoring Quests – Quests provide the best money-to-time ratio, especially early game.
Poor Oxygen Management – Running out of oxygen costs money in lost fish and recovery items.
Not Using Fish Radar – Missing mutations is leaving money on the table.
Solo Hunting Whales – Whales are difficult alone and death costs money.

Advanced Storage Strategy

As you earn more money, storage becomes crucial. Here’s my storage optimization strategy:

Storage Priorities:

Portable Stash – Essential for protecting valuable fish
Home Storage – Expand as needed for bulk items
Fish Storage – Keep mutated fish separate for organized selling

Storage Tips:

Never carry more than you can afford to lose
Store mutated fish immediately
Keep emergency money separate from fishing funds
Organize fish by value for efficient selling

Seasonal and Event Money Making

Abyss frequently hosts events that offer unique money-making opportunities. While these vary by season, here are general strategies for event money making:

Event Types to Watch For:

Double Money Events – Perfect time to sell valuable fish
Special Fish Spawns – Limited-time high-value fish
Unique Quest Lines – Event-exclusive money quests
Treasure Hunt Events – Increased chest spawns and values

Event Preparation:

Save valuable fish for double money events
Stock up on event-specific supplies
Complete regular quests before events start
Join official Discord for event announcements

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the absolute fastest way to make money in Abyss?

Based on my experience, the fastest money-making method combines completing high-value NPC quests while hunting for mutated fish in appropriate level regions. In end-game, whale hunting with server hopping provides the highest hourly rate, but requires significant preparation.

Should I sell fish immediately or store them?

Store valuable fish before selling them, especially mutated versions. Dying in Abyss with expensive fish in your inventory can cost you thousands. Use portable storage for high-value fish and sell them in safe zones when your inventory is full or you’re done diving.

How important are mutations for money making?

Mutations are extremely important – they can multiply fish values by up to 8.5x (Abyssal mutation). Always use Fish Radar and prioritize mutated fish over normal ones. A single Abyssal fish can be worth more than 20 normal fish.

What’s the best race for making money?

Sea Angel, Kraken, Anglerfish, Spirit, and Shark races all provide money-boosting passives. If you’re starting fresh, I recommend rerolling until you get one of these races – the long-term benefits significantly outweigh the initial Star Shard cost.

Is server hopping worth it for money making?

Absolutely, especially for rare fish hunting and chest farming. Server hopping allows you to refresh spawns and find high-value targets much faster than waiting for natural respawns. It’s particularly effective for whale hunting and mutation hunting.

How much should I invest in equipment vs. saving money?

Follow the 80/20 rule: spend 20% of your money on incremental upgrades and save 80% for major equipment jumps. Don’t buy every minor upgrade – focus on purchases that unlock new regions or significantly improve your money-making ability.

Conclusion

Making money fast in Abyss Roblox isn’t about mindless grinding – it’s about playing smart, understanding the game’s economy, and optimizing your strategies for each game stage.

Remember these key takeaways:

Complete all quests – they offer the best money-to-time ratio

Use money-boosting races and artifacts – they provide passive income
Server hop strategically – for rare fish and chest farming
