Hey guys may have been asked before but was just wondering what you think the best way to get gold is? I'm broke and level 21, haven't really found a solid way to make any gold yet but had a few ideas like using a gatherer and just letting some stuff build up then sell it. Any ideas or tips please?

I'm not that far yet, but I believe once you have the battle tower it should be easy enough to get gold by sending a runner out for diamonds and malachite ore. Once the runner is out, you should just have to teleport away and then back, and the runner will usually have returned.

Send the gem runner to get diamonds and the enchantment runner to get malachite ore. These sell for the most your runners can collect. Diamonds for 180, malachite for 40. Just sell them to any merchant and you should have plenty of gold. Get the best equipment for them and they'll usually come back unharmed. You can usually get about 2000 gold per run.

Pick up everything you can. Even if it's not that valuable. If you have more stuff in your inventory than you can carry, drop the really cheap items. [ books you dont need, level 1 charms, some common ingredients and so forth ]

You should be able to sell some stuff before you get overloaded, but it did happen to me once.

If you get potions that you just dont use, sell those as well. No need to carry if u dont need.

Use the teleporters to break off from the quest and go back to town to unload.[ sell ]

If you are spending alot of money on potions you may want to invest skill into master herbalist so that you can make your own. [ and sell the ones u dont use ]

Figure out ways to SAVE money as well. Heal up naturally if the immediat threat has been killed. I know it takes a little time but if you are strapped for cash, it would be worth it.

Good luck

You have no need to cheat. Just do the runner farming. It's not worth cheating if it's your first time through. This game isn't supposed to be easy with buying stuff. You should never have to pay for potions now since you have the tower, just find more formulas to add to your list. And check for any dups you have for potion and enchantment formulas. They will be in your battle chest if you ahven't moved out of your inventory. You can sell those for cash.

Gold really isnt an issue in this game....strategy is! You gan buy the best weapons and armor but if your strategy is lame then it really doesnt matter anyway!!! This game isnt designed so that you can just plow through head on,,untill maybe lvl 20 when you have Explosive arrows or Magic Missile...so dont sweat the gold wink

Yea gold really is of no use in this game as you can get all the weapons, armor and potions you need by looting or using people in your battle tower. I did not use gold once in this game, never even used my runners as you can hold 50 gems/ingredients or a type in your inventory in one slot before it starts another slot.
I had at least 50 of everything besides Malachite gems, had 13 of those in inventory when I finished the game.
Oh and Black Rose, that was another thing that was hard for me to find but I never used them anyways as I never made potions just used the ones I found/looted.
