Farming Money in Act 2 (Oathbreaker armor Dark Difficulty)

So I'm continuing my guide how to farm money in TW2. This time in the second act.

More info here how to craft the special armors[witcher.wikia.com]

First method (Works on both paths)

So the method is similar like in my first guide about Act 1.
You will have to kill a lot of harpies and sell their organs at merchants to get money.

The location

The old quarry. It's full of harpies, and the location is available in both Iorveth's and Roche's paths.

However if you go on Roche's path, you will arrive here a bit later, because you'll have to cross The Mist first.

1. Killing the harpies

Killing them should be easy, and they don't dare to come up to Elthon's house, so you can Igni or bomb them from a distance. Just don't let all of them reach you at once, when you progress down to lure them.

If you're on Iorveth's path Don't do the mission The Harpy Contract! If you do, they won't respawn later, no matter how long you wait.

2. Get them respawn

Go out of the quarry! Go all the way up and leave the area. You don't need to go very far, but go past Elthon's house on top of the quarry. It's ok if you see a loading screen icon. That means you're good to meditate. (You can try meditating in Elthon's house too to see if it works.)

Meditate and wait 12 hours.

3. Rinse and repeat

Then the harpies will be respawn.

Loot their corpses and sell their claws, eyes and feathers. Feathers have a big value!

Second Method. (Works on Roche's path only)

Location:

The visionary's hut

It's much easier to make harpies respawn here. They appear when you leave the ring of candles, but only four of them, so this method might be less efficient.

Closing thoughts

I'll try to insert more screenshots if needed, to make the guide look better and make it more informative.

If you don't want to farm for money and want to cheat instead, check the video below, you can use Cheat Engine to make yourself more money.

Any easier method on act 2?

[Outlaw8908]

I found harpy hunting was quite useful.. Good guide.

Art money easy hack money and lvl .

Both harpy-farming and arm wrestling with Corden have about 1 - 1.5 oren/sec yield.
Farming also gives some crafting materials like cloth and leather;
I only get 6 xp per Celaeno Harpy, nothing for the regular ones at lvl 23.
On the other hand you're perfectly safe during arm-wrestling.

I don't think it's worth going for the harpies, especially on Insane.
If you get an unlucky spawn, ~die, and load when halfway on the path down/up in the quarry, all loot on the ground at the point of saving disappears; and you have to leave the quarry to meditate.

[MarQan]

Hmm, I'm gonna check it then.
Btw is the Kaedwin (Henselt's) camp available on Iorveth's path after I went after Triss Merigold?

[FourMore]

This is much more efficient.

[MarQan]

Or you could just arm-wrestle..
No need to travel, fight or drink potions, faster than boxing, and not luck-based like dice poker.
