When I first jumped into Sunflower Land, I was a mess—wasting resources and barely scraping by. But after tweaking my approach, I hit on Level 37 optimization, a sweet spot that outshines Level 34 with a steady 15-17 SFL daily profit. My first run cost me $70, thanks to some newbie blunders, but I’ve since refined the process. In this guide, I’ll walk you through building from Level 1 to Level 37, share my hard-earned lessons, and include a handy table of material costs so you can plan your grind. Let’s get farming!
Why Level 37 Optimization Matters
I used to aim for Level 34 like everyone else, but the profit margins were razor-thin. Level 37, though, gave me breathing room and better returns. Swapping Polygon for SFL, grabbing a VIP boost, and crafting Tofu and Pizza became my lifeline. Below, I’ll break down how I got there—and how you can too, hopefully with fewer headaches than I had.
Step-by-Step Guide to Level 37 Optimization
Step 1: Setting Up Your Account
Starting fresh, I swapped 209 Polygon for 300 SFL and deposited 250 into the game (withdrawals locked post-March 1, 2025). The VIP boost via Bron on Ronin was a game-changer—50% faster cooking for accounts made after February 2025. I fumbled my first wallet confirmation, waiting ages for SFL to show up, so double-check yours!
Step 2: Early Game Grind (Levels 1-16)
Newbie quests were straightforward, but minting my island as an NFT felt like a big win. To reach Level 16, I crafted 66 Tofu—buying materials upfront saved time, though I overpaid initially by not scouting the market. Gems for skipping crafting times were clutch; I grabbed the $1 newbie pack (300 gems) when I ran out.
Step 3: Mid-Game Push (Levels 16-37)
At Level 16, I built the Dairy for Cheese and started on 12 Pizzas to hit Level 37. I messed up by delaying the “double crafting” skill—once I got it, doubling materials for two Pizzas per craft slashed gem costs. Eating those Pizzas and leveling up was a rush, even if I burned through gems too fast.
Step 4: Island Expansion and Setup
Expanding my island twice unlocked the Time Warp Totem (50% faster everything), a total lifesaver. I opened six plots—37 tiles, 5 gold nodes, 7 fruit trees—and built a Chicken Coop and Cow Barn. Feeding Hands (2,000 gold) kept my animals happy, though I’m still saving for Music Boxes (50,000 gold).
Step 5: Daily Profit Routine
Now, I harvest gold, fruits, and crops daily, tend my animals, and net 15-17 SFL after costs. My first Level 37 day earned me 16 SFL—I was hooked. Market prices can throw curveballs, though; a Tomato spike once nearly wiped my profit.
Material Costs for Level 37 Optimization
Here’s a table I wish I’d had when starting out. It lists the materials needed to craft the food that gets you to key levels, based on my run:
| Level 1-16 | Tofu | 66 | 990 Soybeans, 13,200 Sunflowers | Buy in bulk; skip time with gems |
| Level 16-37 | Pizza | 12 | 360 Tomatoes, 240 Wheat, 60 Cheese | Cheese = 180 Milk (3 per Cheese) |
| Total for Level 37 | – | – | 990 Soybeans, 13,200 Sunflowers, 360 Tomatoes, 240 Wheat, 180 Milk | Double crafting halves gem use |
Note: Costs vary with market prices. I spent ~10 SFL per Pizza early on—shop wisely!
Tips to Master Level 37 Optimization
- Skill Resets: At Level 37, I reset skills for free, focusing on animal boosts (+collection, -50% sickness) and mining perks. Gold became my cash cow.
- Gold Management: Dig nodes before upgrading your island—they respawn! I missed this once and kicked myself.
- Cooking Efficiency: Stacking the Time Warp Totem and VIP boost was a revelation—hours saved.
