So far this game has been pretty cool, but I'm having trouble saving any amount of gold and kind of feel like I'm missing a key aspect of gold gathering.  So far I've done redcliffe, orzammar, bracilian forest and just started visiting the mage tower and I think I have like 8gold pieces.    I keep seeing things I'd like to purchase like armor, weapons, backpacks, and the talent books but I can't figure out how to ever get enough gold to get any of them.  I saw one weapon for like 140+gold!!!   Basically the only way I know to get money is just sell loot I get, but it never adds up to anything substantial.  Help me please :-)

Sell everything you don't need. Pick pocket as much as possible. Let as many guards in redcliff die at the battle so u can pick up all thier armor. Always ask for money from quests and try and presuade more.

[thewayofblackbelt]

now about the guards from redcliff. If you don't let any die you get an award the next day for seeing that no one died during the night. But if one dies, let the rest die. Get armor.



Other then the trap lady (though this is a very tedious process) gold is quit limited in this game.

[AndreaDraco]

If you have done so many world quests (and, I suppose, many side-quests as well), enemy should start dropping more gold. And, of course, Holyraine is right: sell everything you don't need, especially magical and/or buffer weapons/armors.

I suppose it's off topic, but in the earlier party-based games, all newly generated NPCs started with some basic amount of gold. The way we misused that idea was creating dozens of them, stripping them naked, and deleting them, then selling their clothes, basic cudgel, sandals, whatever they started with. I remember in Bard's tale, making hundreds of trips between the AG and the shop loaded down with cheap stuff, just lots of it, and buying really good gear for really Low-Exp characters. Of course, that was before I started Hex-editing the files to add whatever I wanted the characters to have . .

Duplication if you want the easy way out



(Put stackable item of highest value in junk section)

Sell All of them

Buy back all but one

Pick sell all and sell at basically the same time and it will duplicate the items therefore giving you gold for stuff you never originally even had , it might take a few tries

[Holyraine]

I have tons of gear in my party chest. I could have at least 50 more gold but im not sure what to part with. 192gold atm so I'm fine with being a pack rat.

[DragonRageGT]

Never needed to use exploits and bought all those expensive items that suited my different chars. Just loot all chests and sell all junk and don't waste too much in crafting... not that necessary in huge quantities anyway and you don't want to end the game filthy rich with over 100 health and 100 mana err, lyrium potions and some 50-100 unused traps and poisons...

Better spend the money wisely on those absurdly expensive and irresistible gear, books and runes FTW and FTR too!

My current playthrough is the only one in which my Main Character is not wearing the Dwarven Merchant's Belt. I know there has been debate over whether or not that Belt actually works, but I will say my current Main (who is not wearing the Belt) is significantly poorer than I remember her predecessors being at this point in the game (she's currently finishing her second World Event sequence).



Point being, aside from selling everything you don't need/use (as suggested in other posts above) perhaps try equipping the Belt. I think I picked it up at Camp. That reminds me, I've got to get one for my current Main. Poor thing is broke!

Gold is VERY limited in the game. Just like in real life. How realistic! You just have to learn to save, I guess.

[DragonRageGT]

Just checked the char I'm current playing... total gold spent 622 ... at once, 150! This at level 20 and still far from the end of the game! My previous char finished at level 23 with 801 gold spend, 154 at once!



No cheats, no exploits, just gaming and having fun with it... nothing ruins a game for me more than cheap exploits or cheats and knowing that I didn't earn the stuff/level/whatever I cheated for.

Realistic?
Merchants give you only 1/10 of the sold value + you cant barter them.
Realistc like: Hey i defeated this Hurlock Alpha with golden armor and huge weapon, but i just find a lesser poultice.
Realistc like: dito chests
I like the crafting principles: There is only 1 "useful" recipe in this game that can be used for earning money.
How realistic to take 150 G for a weapon, but his same tier standard equivalent costs about 8 G.

I hope "realistic" was meant by you "sarcastically"

[DragonRageGT]

it's not like we're paying actual money for them now... I like the game economics... requires planning and not having it all tthat easily is a lot more fun to me than having it all at once and getting bored with nothing else to desire!

[AiyanaLindari]

Side quests tend to have good rewards too. Stealing is lucrative in the long run. Sell everything you are not using.

:blink::blink::blink:

I made about 300 gold on level 16, after Mage Tower, partial Redcliffe (only Town and Castle so far), then Orzammar.

You might want to

(a) Get your main character to Coercion 4 ASAP
(g) Get your party rogue to Stealing 4 ASAP and keep stealing during fights

In Orzammar you can make like 80 or so gold in no time, but you need Coercion 4 and 40 gold starter money for it.

I think I made about 200 gold total in Orzammar, possibly more. Stealing from mobs there gave me often 20 silver, higher mobs easily around 50 silver or 1 gold or even some more (*).

I also steal from everyone and their grandma. Caution with this is needed with the Daelish and Dennerim, but otherwise its cool.


(*) = This means specifically: Stealing during combat ! For which you need Stealing 4.

Interestingly, it seems as though the game wants me to have a certain amount of gold. When I spend it, it seems to replenish. When I save it, I seem to pick up less.

[Beanpole2]

You can forget the Lothering trap lady ploy. That was patched out to limit to, 3 ditto the poultices. The only shortcut to gold which I am not certain has been erased is the one where you kill the Redcliff tavern owner or get him killed in battle and give the place to Bella and it has been said that you can return for free stuff including reloaded crystals. I haven't tried it but will this time as I am very frustrated with not being able to ever afford Andruil's Blessing.

I tried it recently and it did not work for me.

Well, I think the "realistic" part is that the party can't afford absolutely everything in the world. How we get to that poin... not so much

You wouldn't really want infinite money via crafting, would you?

Hm, I wasnt aware that this doesnt work for everyone.
It does for me, but like a lot of people here I dont like to exploit.

As far as the items you can get from her...I think only the crystals replenish.

[mousestalker]

One origin allows you to begin with a significant amount of cash, if you so choose. It also allows you to resell for significantly more than the other origins. If what you want is cash, then choose your origin carefully.

[Witcha]

I don't bother wasting time trying to scrounge for gold. Whenever I need to buy some high-level gear or crafting material and don't have enough cash I just use the console to give myself the money. The way I see it they should be giving their savior everything he needed for free anyhow.



If you don't like this or exploits just download the steal cooldown reduction mod and rob EVERYBODY! This can net you a huge amount especially near the end of the game(The Army Captain at the Denerim gates had over 1.5 gold! Who'd have thought?). Also set tactics to pickpocket melee enemies before attacking.

[Charsen]

I didn't end up leveling steal or bringing Leliana around with me til I was already like 22. And then it just wasn't worth it. I had her pick pockets in Orzammar, and each time you net between 1 and 24 silver. Which is ok... But the cooldown and the loading time... I just found it more useful to do the side quests and settle for quest gear.



If you're a generally "good" guy and so you don't intimidate or shake down people for extra gold, you end up being way broke. Just one of those things.



I bought just one of the vender expensive items, and made all my own potions and sold practically everything I looted, poisons, traps, etc.



One thing that helps is just getting to high level. Donate to the guys in your camp and you get some xp for each thing donated. When you're higher level you run across more expensive loot that sells well.



Otherwise, yeah, there are console cheats and a steal cooldown timer reduction mod like Witcha said... and that makes stealing actually somewhat practical.

[Apophis2412]

Or be Dawrf Noble and sell things to your special merchant. He gives twice as much money for items as other merchants do.

[Unholy_Requiem]

I must say, I'm trying to accumulate 200 gold before finishing a single main quest. I did the Elven one so I took the 20 gold from the dragon loot, but I'm still only at 112 gold lol. I want the the staff of the magister lord and life giver (To give my blood mage more health) It  is actually kinda hard lol
