Here's the deal, I'm on my 3rd playthrough and like always, I'm 1/2 thru the game and still broke. I collect every item I can to sell. I kill as much as I can in order to take it's money and yet here I am 17thlvl warrior with 2 gold to my name. Am I missing something? How can I find, gain, or steal more money?

[Herr Uhl]

Steal money using the stealing skill.

I'm a 17th lvl warrior and I have 98 gc



You to learn to save that gold. With the economy the way it is...

[Facemelt3r]

2 Gold? What the hell? By level 17 I suspect I will have 200 gold.

[Frozeal]

Maybe you are buying too much equipment? I hardly buy any armor for them early in the game, I only buy all the Elf roots, potions, lyrium dust I can. Now I'm thinking in using traps, so add to that the things for trap making.

Nothing else. I equip the loot most of the times.

I had 240 gold at level 15, just did every side quest i could possibly find

[I Valente I]

that is pretty strange...I remember hitting 2 gold around level 6. ~15-20 around level 10 or 12. Then later in the game it can get up to the 90's or 100's if I save it for something. I'm not sure what's going on, most of the enemies even drop gold, that should be enough to get you over 2.

Look to your party's skills if you want to pickpocket.



As for why you're broke now, I have no idea. It could be a plethora of things. I was always able to make at least 3 "big" purchases from merchants before the end of the game, and after the midpoint I rarely had less than 75gp-100gp.



Maybe you're selling the wrong items, or buying too many things? If your tactics and party makeup are setup so that you're using a lot of potions, poisons, etc. and you continuously purchase them, that would put a big dent in your available funds.

I hardly buy things, because it seems as if i find better items, but nonetheless I only ever find tiny amounts of money.

[KyleClark]

Then stop buying DLC content that's draining out your money.

And remember - despite what certain merchants might say about your 'discount'.... it pays to shop around!

[mousestalker]

Do you ask for rewards when finish a quest or rescue someone? That helps a bit. Also, never ever buy from Bodahn if you can at all help it. He is to discounts what a mall jeweler is to value.

So don't sell your junk to him either? I only buy three things from him.

1) Final Reason
2) Two Tomes
3) Flasks

I go everywhere else to supply my needs.

PS: I only average 50-90G by Level 15-17.

Level 15 mage at the moment and have around 250 gold. I barely buy anything apart from things to make potions with and some backpacks, I save my money to a bit later and then buy a few powerful items, even then I hate parting with my gold :-D

How can you be that skint at the stage you're at lol

When you do things make sure you always ask for a reward, don't do things out of the kindness of your heart, make them pay if you have the option.

Go to http://www.dragonage...s.com/index.php (the nexus has been the #1 place to go for Oblivion and fallout mods, VERY professional and awesome site).

You will find mods for everything, and there are a few good $$$ ones. Very easy to install and will fix your problem.

Further more, I'm sure you'll find other great mods to better your experiance. Right now I have the respec mod (allows you to start over fresh and redistrubte points and specilizations with your character and EVERY companion) and forced deathblows. DA:O has reached a whole new level of awesome! I'm thinkin about getting a increased money mod though.

The problem is knowing how to play... giving mods like that are going to ruin his gameplay. I only use texture mods mostly (also I downloaded 80's cheesy porn music for the sex scenes, I've not installed DA:O yet to try it.)

[Mercurite]

I hardly think a cheating mod is the way to go to earn money... >_>



But yeah, a good pickpocket can earn a bit of money, or at least a little bit at a time. Doing quests is an excellent way to earn gold as well, alongside selling the increasingly more expensive pants (and other armour and weapons, obviously) which you find and don't use. Don't buy any armour/weapons unless you have a lot of gold to burn and you're sure there'll be nothing better - and such items are incredibly rare (and expensive). The only possible exception could be the talent/spell/skill books. I remember I had some money issues on my first character (a mage), but that was mostly because I kept buying those books and always kept around armour/weapons which I didn't use "just in case." A bad habit, that.

well I played my first play-through clean no mods, no cheats on my second I did the Lothering Trap glitch and leveled to 12 before leaving Lothering made a lot of gold doing it. you spend 9silver to make 50 silver adds up quick. I recommend doing a play-through using the glitch to get to lvl 12-14.



the game has a lvl cap of 25 if you do every single side quest and get every single random encounter you probably still can't get to lvl 25.

I was just thinking the same... I mean, first of all to do all the sidequests has no sense in terms of roleplaying you know? For example I'm not going to do any Circle Mages' quest for example if I'm rolling a dwarf who is fearsome of magic...
There is another thread (I don't remember were) were we were discussing the issue of exp... sometimes the most "ruthless" answers gives you more exp and loot (example: Guantlet I think)

For alot of my first playthrough, I was always buying potions and trap/poison components and recipes. I was always broke.

Don't buy any of that crap and you'll have plenty of money. You can make your own potions by locating where they sell infinite quantities of the components.

You cant make higher than lowest pots without buying a recipe.

The fact that we don't become millionaires at lvl 6 is actually one of my favorite things about the game.

[kgav]

I don't feel bad doing the Lothering Trap glitch where you just keep turning in traps for exp and money because I want to mess around with more advanced spells and abilities and I think on my 1st play through I got to lvl 19 doing all the quests I could and on the second I got to lvl 25 with the exp from the trap glitch and it was much different to have more abilities and spells and also gold to buy a couple expensive weapons. On my fist play through I just felt so poor, I also didn't know the camp merchant restocks everything you buy the very fist night at camp, you can get more books and runes from him if you use the glitch to have gold that first night.

Not only that but I believe the glitch is on all platforms so XBox 360 and PS3 people can get more exp and gold too, that they really can't otherwise. 

I mean the game scales your opponents anyways so gaining levels this way doesn't break the game it just lets you experience more than you could otherwise which is a good thing.

I guess its good then that you never need the higher level potions.
