Instructions
Create Reddhatts
Buy a torch for your garden from the Viva Pinata store.
Place the torch in your garden.
Find and catch a Taffly. These blue creatures have a long, elephant-like trunk and are available from the beginning of gameplay.
Direct the taffly to the torch so that it will fly through the flame and catch on fire. Have your watering can on hand so that you can put out the flame quickly.
Pour water on your taffly as soon as it catches on fire and lands on the ground. When the flame is out, your taffly will transform into a Reddhatt. These creatures are worth 2,100 coins.
Repeat the process with additional tafflies in your garden. You can purchase additional tafflies for 300 chocolate coins, as necessary.
Plant Profitable Crops
Buy seeds to plant in your garden. In the beginning of the game, the most profitable seeds you'll have access to are the chili seeds. As gameplay progresses, you'll also gain access to oak, orchids, bulrush and birds of paradise -- all highly profitable seeds that will allow you to earn chocolate coins fast.
Plant the seeds in your garden.
Fertilize the seeds as needed, depending on the type of plants you're growing. For example, you'll want to fertilize your birds of paradise seeds with orange fertilizer three times prior to harvesting. When fully mature, these plants will sell for 1,440 chocolate coins. The seeds only cost 79 coins.
