How do I make a lot of money?

[ozberi]

I was wanting to buy a few things, and not have to worry about money as much. So what are some good quests that pay well?

[pokerhabs]

Quests don't pay much. What really pays early in the game is breaking into houses at night and steal valuables. If you want to get the maximum money for your stolen goods, hide em in your stash for few days, they'll no longer be tagged as stolen and you will be able to sell em full price to merchant. Only millers buy stolen good, but the price drops alot.

If you are strong enough, you can hunt bandits/cumans and loot their corpses.

Loot eveything you can and sell it.

Kill bandits, sell the loot. That's how I have made 25k.

I think I got about 2k from Lord Divish for investigating something in the Sasau Monestary.

Improve lock picking and rob the merchants for every penny they have at night. You can open very hard locks at about level 15 (or level 10 + padfoot potion). Then you don't need to collect as well as sell gear anymore and fight with absolutely the terrible inventory UI.

You can sell your body. Or open a brothel. Or steal it. Or work, but why putting effort into something and getting almost nothing for it? :D

for a few days? I had some armour i stole from a knight i killed (the guy that stops you on the road and says something like "you there, goodman"). I had it for a good 10 hours game time, and then some random guard arrested me for stealing something, and he took my armour too :(. When it comes to getting arrested. what is my best option? killing the guard. running, paying, or jail time?

Poaching has become my bread and butter. The best part is encountering other poachers, murdering them for poaching, and then stealing their arrows and animal parts.

Minor spoiler.
Do the main story quest until you are given your first horse, round out that quest enough so that Captain Bernard? Returns to Rattay, during the day, you will find hime at the combat arena just out sdie town.

Abuse this option, get your weapon, defense, stats etc up, start doing the Kill Bandit Leaders quests from him, this isn't so much a quest chain but you get a bunch of quests from him then get sent elsewear to do the same thing. Do this, till you are satisfied. Most bandits and there leaders have some decent weapons and armor on them. Trick here is to take all the swords and axes you find, grinestone them, raise your maintenance skill, sell the sharpened weapons for more..

Rattay and Sasau, both have a Swordssmith and Armorsmith. Sell weapons to one guy, armor too the other, everything else goes to a regular blacksmith, over time this increases the amount of wealth these guys will have available too them but they start of wealthy. (wealth respawns every few days or so).

You do the main story bit first because A. Gives you access to as much training and master strikes training with the Captain during the day, with a wooden sword you cna practice on him for ever. (gains slow down of course). B. You get a free horse, you can inventory stuff into your horse and retrieve it when ever you want.

FIRST THING YOU BUY: A better Horse for 1k from Neuhof. Trojan is a good starter horse and the Noble Saddle with saddle bags. Noble saddles the lightest. Now that you have a good horse with great inventory focus on equipment. Then buy a tier 5 horse I recommend Sleipnir from one of the other stables, with the Racehorse speed Buff.

People argue the more carry weight on the horse but mid to late game your not even worried about money now, so the extra carry weight doesn't mean any thing where as a faster Horse is going to continue to be useful.

[Weltraumputze]

Hunt Deer in the forest and sell it to the miller. Always loot fallen enemies. Even in the fight sequences of the main story i lootet the enemy Knights. To get no problems with capacity put most stuff directly on your horse :)

[Skipper]

Yeah except ♥♥♥♥ hunting early days. Bows are terribly difficult to use in the early on and you want that free horse and skills training first before you do anything.

[Shrapnel]

If you want to make big money, do the quest to get a horse, buy your horse a saddle with bags.
Now go to Bernard and take the bandit clearing quests. Loot all their stuff, take your upgrades out of it and sell the rest.
And tip your vendors, they will have more money on each returning visit, allowing you to sell more at one spot.

If you want to multi task, buy some repair kits - you'll make more money on the repaired loot and you'll boost your maintenance skill ludicrously fast.

Same here. There's an "Activity" that Captain Bernard gives called "Ruin" that is perfect for this. You can also just roam the map and when you see "campsites" on it sneak in and kill whoever is there because I've never come a cross a camp in the woods that had anything but bandits in it.
