Dondoko Island is Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth’s answer to the business management minigames that the Like A Dragon series has in store traditionally for players to rack up money. However, Infinite Wealth takes it to a whole new level with an expansive island that will span over multiple hours of content and side activities as players will learn of various new ways to earn money.
With multiple mechanics and systems to get acquainted with, Dondoko Island can overwhelm players quickly so it’s good to know the most effective strategies to earn the local currency, Dokobucks quickly on the island. Here are some of the many ways that Ichiban can accumulate a fortune on Dondoko Island in Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth - How To Increase Resort Rank On Dondoko Island
By increasing the resort rank on Dondoko Island, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth players can earn a great deal of money.
Accommodate And Satisfy Guests
This is the fundamental way to earn Dokobucks fastest and most consistently on Dondoko Island. As players see their resort reach a higher rank and earn more stars, the lodging capacity for the guests is increased. Not only will every new star rating for the resort lead to a huge increase in funding, but it also means that guests can visit for a three-day tour and spend their money on the various amenities, which translates directly to revenue in Dokobucks.
Guest satisfaction is dependent on multiple requirements that are unique to the individuals. These demands can range from needing a certain style of outdoor furniture to be on display on the island, to requesting a specific souvenir or specialty. The higher the satisfaction percentage of guests at the end of the three-day accommodation, the greater the chances of earning high tips from these guests.
Build DIY Amenities
As previously mentioned, guests will spend a hefty sum on amenities during their three-day stay on the island. By catering to their needs and crafting DIY Amenities that specifically carry the label of “Dokobucks Up”, players can maximize their earnings per day of guests' stay on the island. These amenities can be restaurants, clothing stores, bars, and even vending machines so it is a good idea to install multiple facilities like this near the lodges of the guests.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth - How To Upgrade Weapons On Dondoko Island
Players' progress on Dondoko Island depends on the bat, harpoon, and bug net. So, it is important to upgrade them at all costs.
Assign Sujimon at Dondoko Farm
Upon reaching a 2-star resort, Ichiban will get access to Dondoko Farm, a small island nearby that is reached by a raft. Here, the group of Sujimon that Ichiban has amassed to this point can be assigned to various tasks. These tasks are categorized into activities at four different types of facilities: workshop, training, farming, and recycling. While some of these will award players with more resources, which can be used to craft more amenities, the workshop facility in particular can be worked on for active generation of Dokobucks.
The longer the duration of the project chosen at these workshops, the greater the yield in Dokobucks, with some projects netting up to 300,000 Dokobucks. When assigning Sujimon to workshop projects, it’s important to align the type of Sujimon with the matching element that is demanded by the project. Moreover, assigning Sujimon who are both ranked higher in their stats and friendship level with Ichiban, to the projects will increase the likelihood of big gains in terms of Dokobucks yield.
Sell Rare And Valuable Items
There is a wealth of specialties, materials, and rare catches on Dondoko Island. Although some of these may be presented to guests as a gift, the better approach is to trade in these valuable items with Matayoshi for a hefty sum. After being certified as a 2-star resort and unlocking Dondoko Farm, players will be able to catch various gold and silver bugs, as well as some valuable ores which they can turn in for a good price.
If players would like to really test their luck and earn an absolute fortune, they should be on the lookout for a very rare insect called Tsuchinoko. Though the spawn rate for this bug is low, it doesn’t hurt to keep trying given the huge reward that comes with all the perseverance and patience. In appearance, the Tsuchinoko looks like a black beetle, similar to when players are catching insects like scorpions or spiders.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – All Poundmates (& How to Unlock Them)
Returning from Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Poundmates in Infinite Wealth let Ichiban summon aid in particularly tough battles.
One such area where the Tsuchinoko may spawn is on the Dondoko Farm. Players can navigate up the stairs, just past the Sujimon resting area as shown in the video below. The main idea is to move slowly as rushing to the bug will instantly ward it off, and it will squirm away from the player’s grasp. Once players use their bug net to capture the Tsuchinoko, they can turn it in for a whopping 100,000 Dokobucks. Capturing it multiple times will gradually increase its selling price, which goes up to 200,000 Dokobucks per piece when 10 Tsuchinokos are caught.
Defeat Washbucklers
Another quick and easy way to earn a few Dokobucks is starting every day by picking a fight with the Washbucklers. A horde of enemies will be patrolling regions of Dondoko Island which haven’t been cleared out yet. Defeating stronger enemies can net just over 1000 Dokobucks, but doing it on a regular basis will help players accumulate a sizable sum without breaking much sweat. You can upgrade your Bat to make quick work of them.
Complete Dondoko Dailies and Suggestion Box Checklists
Finally, players can earn an honest sum of Dokobucks consistently by ticking off the easy and mundane tasks under the Dondoko Dailies checklist. These are everyday routine tasks like capturing X number of insects or fish, or building a certain number of DIY amenities, etc. The Dokobucks gain through this method is small, but eventually, this will contribute towards the Suggestion Box checklist. Although completion of tasks on the Suggestion Box database will come naturally as players just spend more time on Dondoko Island going about their business, the passive manner of earning Dokobucks through this approach is always satisfying.
