It's one of the best things to spend your money on. I'm not an expert on the game so you may want to hear if anyone else have some advice.

Other than the odd quest that requires a few orens, the only thing I spend my orens on are that jacket and books.

As for the armor as it is the only upgrade you get until near the end of the game it is advisable to get it as soon as you can. If you clean out chapter 1 in terms of quests and loots you should have enough orens to buy it at the start of chapter 2 after the initial quest there.

As for me, This Game has no easy method to collect 5000
I has to learn poker and sell rather rare valuables over long time
But may be guys know better

You could sell your existing armor to get the last cash needed.

I was stupid enough to drop existing armor, cause thought that white shirt looks nice. Was stupid back then

I'm also at chap 2 without that much orens. I spend a little on some ingredients because I was enjoying the potion brewing. Guess it's time to empty the stash and see what we can get

I was able to buy the leather jacket half way through Chap. 2 even after buying all books in Chap.1. Maybe people here saying they don't have enough money are spending too money on rather useless stuff? Money isn't too hard to get and you don't need it for much else than this jacket and books.

Easiest way to make money is probably gambling. E.g. the dwarf in the pub in Chap 2 gives you a lot of money and I feel like he is easy to win against (maybe I was just lucky though). Theoretically you can even kind of cheat with that if save the game, then always bet the maximum and reload in case you lose.

Also if you buy books, read them, then sell them back as they are useless once you read them. This reduces prices of books by 20% I think.

And from Chap. 2 on you can make a ton of money if you are willing to grind by fighting some of the people that attack you during the night, take their weapons, sleep until the morning, sell the weapons, sleep again until night, repeat... I think the weapons of the dwarfs pay most, just wait until one of them dies. It's pretty boring though, so I never really grinded it.

And obviously side quest are useful as they give you extra money. I think the hunter in Chap. 3 pays very well.
