How do I get rich quick in this?

[Bastila Shan]

How do I get a big chunk of money quick at the beginning of game using thievery? Is there one merchant i can choke out and take all their stuff? The general store guy has an armed guard so I guess I can’t get him and it’s difficult to find someone alone during day

There probably are some rich chests around, but talking more proper ways - you can't, after 40 hours i'm already swimming in full-plate armor and whatnot, the problem is - i can't fcking sell it all since all the merchants are piss-poor with only 100-500 groschen in their bag.
And doing quest while sometimes rewards you - after doing majority of 'act 1' side quests i've only got like 1000, plus 1500 from what i actually sold or otherwise found.

I'd think maxing alchemy and selling potions is a relatively quicker way if you don't know which chests to poke exactly, alchemy rises up quickly, and with right perks you can churn out 6 potions at once.

I also did some archery tournaments from huntsmans son left from Tachov for some pocket change early on.

you don't really need to do that. Just play the game, occasionally loot some corpses of random bandits you killed (only the most valueable stuff) and sell it, it does not count as stolen even. Often vendors won't even have enough money to buy it all.

Sometimes you will even find excellent armor you don't need to buy anymore then, just repair. basically the only other thing you need a larger sum for is a horse and not even that when you just keep pebbles or hering until you get the secret perk which makes them excellent.

Stop obsessing..., i recently read a discussion on reddit wher ppl seriously talked about where to best ride in circles to unlock the horse perk for pebbles or hering..., please what ? Why ??? just ride the horse doing stuff and it will unlock, why ride a nonsense route additionally just to ride everything after that a little faster ?

Are gamers actively trying to make everything a boring grind, even when the game is designed purely without the need to ?

After progressing a bit in the story you will very quickly find useful equipment and have many opportunities to sell some loot, very fast there will be nothing really interesting to buy anymore and amassing groschen becomes pointless.

I don't understand why people think they need the best gear in first 10 minutes. That is not the point of the game and you would not even be strong enough to wear all that anyway.

I'd say do yourself a favour and *don't* do that. Getting rich invalidates the looting aspect of the game.
Being poor early on is a novelty and half of the fun.

To their disappointment, that is not possible, you need much more time than 10 minutes:
- the first map best combat armor dude to steal it from appears only after a certain main quest
- the best thieving gloves in the game are a reward from another main quest (I refused registering for the set)
etc

Alchemy. Learn Marigold decoction and train your alchemy up with it. It sells decent, is easy to make, the herbs you need for it are near the alchemy station in Troskowich where you are pilloried and there is an apothecary to purchase the recipe from. If you head south of the pillory there are several beehives you can collect honey from to sell and make a bit of cash right off. They look like little wooden birdhouses on posts about half your height.
You can also just collect herbs and sell them for money. Save some honey for yourself. When your nourishment drops below 60 eat one.

this - you can basically just do the quests and side activities and loot some occasionally, maybe find some stuff randomly or steal a bit when you are sneaking around for a quest anyways and you will have more money than you need before you are halfway through the story.

Like most other have said, you will take the fun out of it by immediately cheesing the game. But hey, that's your choice! I've said this somewhere else, but the easiest way i found for stealing anything and everything is pickpocketing merchants and store owners while they're sleeping, and taking their house keys. That way you're only required to lockpick their front door and can bypass needing to lockpick every chest in their house

Yes and that is the point, innit? Also you can get great armor by looking for the Brunschwick armor set. It is absolutelly free, just couple of bandits and wolves to defeat.

same place where you start the game. Spawns horse worth 800. It spawns daily with some bandits, but they are useless. You can sell it across the lake to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, daily. Not exacly get rich quick but stable income of 400-500 daily

Not like that no. Because any merchants real money is store in a Chest, usually requires you able to do Very Hard in terms of the lock-picking skill.

I hardly ever need much money in the game, everything is found or obtained by stealing; just have to be good at it. I guess being a master at KCD1 has helped. Even though the rules and behavior in this game is a bit different with how NPCs can react and such, but sneaking around at night and saving often helps. Looted plenty of Bandits of everything, plus it helps you find Horses out on the road, headshot them, butcher them, take all the stuff, turn all the meat into dried jerky meat and put the "stolen" marked items in personal chest (putting on horse no longer works because they search your saddle too if ever need to deal with the law) and then in a couple hours to a day, the stolen status is removed and you can properly sell them. If anything is damaged, repair it yourself with the proper repair kits.

You can pickpocket the merchant, steal the keys and open chest - it's better approach sometimes, even with thievery 30 (especially if someone sleeps close to very hard chest, you can wake them up while picking lock).

It’s not like this is my first play through, this is intended for my second play through when I just want quick cash so I can buy a decent set of armor and sword so I can get started.

My first play through I struggled until I got armor which I had to continually reload my game so I could kill an armored bandit without master strikes

[SchlaegelBagel]

Just search for fights a lot, raise your skills, loot the good stuff (500-1000K groshen) and then just slowly sell it to merchants when back in town.

Get your rep up and they will slowly start having more groshen on hand. Think most of the armor/sword/black smith in Kuttenburg for me are sitting around 800 groshen each visit.

Think the last time I looked I was sitting around 40K gorshen with 71 hours into the game.
