I finished my first run through the game as a 2-WF-rogue. When I met the enchantment-boy shortly before the endfight, I had FIFTEEN gold (gp).
Where did all my gold go? I guess, most of it was used for buying potions, a few poisons and some "grenades ". I purchased some better daggers and here a ring, there a medaillon.
After returning from the Deep Roads I was down to almost zero, but with the refund and after selling all the (mostly useless) loot I had about 60 gp. This was the highest amount of money I ever had in this game.

I made all the quest for the mine and even overtook it after the dragon fight. I stopped buying better weapons and gear in act 2, because I realized, that gold will be an issue.

It was hard in DA:O to raise the funds without doing additional works, such as crafting lyrium potions etc. But in DA II I found no way to gain a steady income. How should I? Self-crafting is gone, the loot sells for ridiculously low prices and the quest rewards are lousy.

I have no problem with this, if there were not all these items at different shops for 100,-- and more gp. There is even an achievement for ammassing 100 gp. This tells me, that there must be a way to get more gold, but I simply failed to find it.
Any pointers?

Loot:
As a rogue I found tons of bows, mage-staves, mage/ fighter armour and 2-HD-weapons, but perhaps two or three good daggers.
In my second run I play as a mage. Will it be like in "Diablo" plus clones, where it is somehow scripted to find mostly stuff for other classes than the currently played? Will I find now tons of daggers and again bows?

Taking the loan shark's offer to pay for your trip into the Deep Roads is a start. You can betray him later, although I did not know that when I played. >.>

Just sell all the items you don't need and limit what you buy... there are really only a few worthwhile items anyway. I think the biggest problem may have been potions. Even if you don't use a lot of them, enemy rogues will steal and drink them! Now, I've heard officially that this only happens on Nightmare, but unofficially, people have said it happens at other levels. I played on Hard and I was missing potions a LOT... so I am inclined to believe that they were stolen.

Also, just make sure you open every chest you can and return to areas you've already been to. Scour them thoroughly. Sometimes there are a few new enemies or a quest, sometimes loot can respawn... especially within Kirkwall areas.

I think the biggest part is never use potions unless you have no other option. Let people fall in combat if you have to... oh, and be careful about buying too many runes. They are a waste of money if you have to keep replacing them with new ones.

Hmm... I've seen two lettera of the loan shark, one in act 1 and the next late in the game. But I remember a chat with an evil looking dwarf, whose offer I rejected. You mean this guy?

For the chests: I've done that and received an achievement. Although some of my active members had accessoires with "better loot / more money", I found mostly garbage. Should a "luck rune" help?
Yes, potions I used excessively, especially because I had Merill as main caster and she has no heal-spell.

Perhaps I purchased too much items, but OTOH the amount I spent for these was possibly 20 - 30 gp. Ok, if I wouldn't have bought the stuff, I've had 30 or 40 gp near the endgame. Nevertheless, far away from 100 or more.

This is one of the points I mentions in my thread...

For being a rich noble and owning a mine you sure are poor all the time lol!

Yeah, that's the loan shark. Silly me for not wanting to betray Bertrand by working with his enemy. >.>

Oh yeah, I forgot about the fortune runes... you should equip some of those if possible. Also, wear armor and accessories that say "enemies drop better loot" or "more coin." I have no idea if this stacks, but I had on loads of that stuff. I ended up with more than 100gp when the game was over, and I'd bought at least twice that amount in armor and items.

Basically, I bought 1 robe (100gp), 1 or 2 staves (about 13gp together), a few cheap blood magic rings (1gp each), a spell tome, an attribute tome... some runes... eh... a few potions.

I think it was the fortune runes and accessories... I thought the amount of money I had was normal, but I guess not.

I had all these "better loot"-items equipped, except the luck rune.

Question:
Does someone happen to know, when the loot is generated? Is it set, when I enter an area or is it generated, when the mob does or even them momen I click on the loot-pile?

Reason to ask:
I don't want to gimp my party by wearing that "better loot"-stuff. But I could equip it before
I enter area / I click on loot-pile
and change for the battle to something better.
