Is playing Gwent the best way to earn GOLD ?

[rickiu23]

I `m playing at Level5, and found that repairing weapons and armor cost a lot, my gold always remains less than 100... any way to earn GOLD efficiently? Is playing Gwent the best way to achieve it??

people have a hard time of making gold in this game? im sitting at 65k gold at level 20 and it all came naturally.

Starter area and need for mats etc...bit diff then bieng 20 :P

I had no issues in any part of the game let alone the starter area which i was able to buy all the armors for both geralt and horsey let alone some of the mats, repair costs etc etc. so whats the problemo?

Problemo is as stated...need cashish in starter area for all the things you outlined. Thus...one seeks to make money...thus the questions about how to do so. The honey and cow hides thing is just one way to make money. I also dont want this to degenerate into a why do you need money discussion :P lets just not.
Anyway my comments address the OPs question..is x better then y at making money. Might consider adding to that if you have special knowledge of how to do so as well.

All you ever have to do in this game is....

Loot everything from sacks, boxes, chests.... bring it back to a vendor and sell it (blacksmiths/armorsmiths/travellers/herbalists...whatever. If said vendor has no gold left...... either go to another vendor OR just trade in YOUR stuff for his STUFF. 1+1=2.

Break down all the clams and shells at the blacksmith for white and black pearls and sell them for more $$$$. Breaking down all alot of the silver junk into silver bars can also rack up some more $$$.

Every monster you kill ie drowners and ♥♥♥♥... collect the loot and sell the brains and all that jazz to the endors for more $.

Do every single '?' quests on the map.

Sell extra stacks. ie. 100 furs = 1 stack... you've got 130 furs... sell the 30 furs for extra $ cos you clearly do not need more than 1 stack of anything. you can even sell half of that 100 furs and you're not gonna miss out on anything.

Sell all monster trophies cos all you really need is 5% wyvern monster xp trophie that is bound to you and can't sell anyway.

Whenever you're doing a witcher quest. always bargain for a better reward... always aim for the middle point of the entire slider.... ie. if the base reward is 230 gold you might be able to ask for 10-30 more gold. if the base reward is 500 gold... you might be able to ask for 40-70 more gold.

There's free $ in horsey races and boxing matches too... 100% win unless you don't know how to race or dodge.

And for goodness sakes.... if you want all that monies... NEVER ever have pity on poor folk. whenever you get the option to take the gold or leave it... always take the damn gold. No prisoners. No mercy.

you'll pick them up every here and there in the starting area... just loot all the chests sacks etc etc.. you can find some on the sea beds in skellige as well.

You'll find clams and shells in your junk tab. same goes for all the animal furs you pick up

whenever you have $ to do so... break down the furs for crafting mats which can be used to craft things later or sold back to the vendor for $ or you can just sell the furs all by itself. same goes for the silverware junk you find. it's best to break down rather than sell them as it is.... Gold rings on the other hand you can sell by itself if you want... gold ores don't sell for much so you might get more $ back selling the ring itself.

But if i remember correctly.... some gold rings when broken down gives additional ores that might be worth some $.. so you might want to look at what you can get before breaking them down. ie amethyst powders/ores what not... they sell for quite abit.

You bet 10... Like throwing $10 worth of chips into a pot when you're playing poker. You're winning 10.

Um no...

If you bet 10 crowns and win you get 20. Do you not pay attention when you're playing or something?

I'm guessing because they have to match the bet and then if you win you get it all.

Go ahead and test it yourself if you don't believe me. Bet 10 and if you win the game you'll get 20.

Correct. when you bet in this game. ie. 10 gold. When you win you get 20 back. 10 yours 10 his/hers. so you made 10 gold.

When you bet in a boxing match... 50 gold. when you win... you get back 100. 50 yours 50 his.

You can sell off the pearls early on.. you don't really need them and you'll find alot of them including clams and shells you can break apart for more pearls as the game goes on.

Ok, thanks!

I earned more money by selling spare dimetrium and weapons/armors in the right merchant (i'm at 100k gold actually)

1 more thing. As you keep playing the game you'll fight all sorts of monsters... so lets say you fought this forktail and you kill it and you get a fortail hide from it. So ie. 10 hours later you killed 30 forktails... you've now got 30give or take forktail hides... In this game you do not need to hold on to a ton of crafting materials... so if you've got 30 forktail hides or any other hides... you can sell a portion of that for $. If i've got 30 hides.. i'd usually keep 4-6 and sell the rest... same goes alot of other monster/non-monster crafting mats.

To be on the safer side... if you're planning to make a sword or piece of armor 2-5 levels away from your current level... just look up the materials you need before selling off materials for $.

Have fun

[Moriarty!]

and a tip: you don't need to carry more than 30 of the same item

[Moriarty!]

for hides you can sell all imo. early in my game i used to hunt rabits and deers with the cross bow (you can also make a lot of money by hunting animals/monsters)

Crossbow huniting? How quaint :) I would just sprint them down, till they are cowering in a bunch and Flash Fry the whole herd with Igni. Hunting with a built in flame thrower is FUN :) also...

"HI I am your friendly neighborhood WItcher. I am gonna fry the livestock of all the local citizens, loot their carcasses, shove my way past you into your homes, pilfer all your valuables right in front of you, then get on my horse, gallop at full speed to the local merchant and if you are on my path, I might just run you over. And when your livestock is replenished, I will do it all over again" lol
