halo205 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hello guys Is there a way to make money as fast as possible (without cheating)? Because there is an expensive dagger i want to buy but everything seems quite limited because your enemies don't respawn and everytime i finish a quest i earn (based on the quest) 1-10 gold + 2-5 gold based loot, this seems quite less(the dagger i want costs about 150 gold) so is there another way to make money?

On my second character I'm at level 18 and have 380 gold sovereigns or so, but most of it's from selling loot I'd think. You might also be able to craft potions and poisons and sell them for a profit, though I have no idea if that's feasible or even possible. In short, there isn't a lot of money to be made in DAO, probably only enough to buy a couple of really high end items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh-uh.If you're not going to craft the items and use them yourself, you're better off just selling the ingredients. Far more valuable than the finished product.

elsellel Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Money doesn't flow like a river in DAO, but one thing that helps is, Stealing. Steal from any NPC you can. Bump the stealing skill all the way to max as you progress and steal away.Any NPC that highlights with a character tag (even beggars and sick elves) steal from them. Some of them I think you can steal from multiple times as you leave and come back at later times.You don't seem to get anything that great from doing this, but it just adds up as you go. Lots of malachite, garnet, coins, health potions (which helps greatly for that overhead).Particularly in Orzammar where the nobles and knight guards have quite a bit of cash on them to pilfer. It's all in the sell-back of loot and saving your dough for the really 'hot' gear and weapons (don't waste money on cheaper weapons/armor at the vendors... the cheaper stuff will fall in battle or be lying around in placeables). By the end of my first playthrough as a rogue I was able to buy almost all the hottest items (about 750g) for him, along with quite a bit of nice items for the mages. Also, take ALL the quests from the Slim guy (pickpocket/burglar) in Denerim marketplace. He charges you a lot for each 'mark', but you make it back in double upon completing his quests.And as another poster said, do all the sidequests in Orzammar. I came out of there (the longest area of the game by far) with a couple hundred g even after buying the lifegiver ring in the Commons.I might go there directly after the mage tower (which I do first on the Blight line of quests) this time around (I saved it for last on the first character) just for all the cash.

kailieann Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Some of them I think you can steal from multiple times as you leave and come back at later times. More accurately, you can only steal from each "character" once, but some characters awe spawned more than once (eg: Bann Teagan in the Chantry, Bann Teagan outside the windmill, Bann Teagan in the throne room, and Bann Teagan in the Arl's room are all separate characters, and you can steal from each of them). This also applies to enemies, so if you have Stealing IV, then1. Self: Being attacked by melee attack => Stealing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atese Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 You can turn a profit by producing and selling potent lyrium potions. You need master herbalism and the Potent Lyrium Potion recipe sold at the Wonders of Thedas in Denerim. Buy lyrium dust from the quartermaster at the circle tower. Buy flasks, concentrator agents, and distillation agents from the bartender at the Gnawed Noble Tavern in Denerim. Those are all unlimited supply. Makes about 20 silver per potion. Turns 20 gold of starting capital into a few hundred in an hour or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaard Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 side note.... the slim side quests are only available if your main character is a rouge...... it is also the only way to unlock the chests in the denerim marketplace (you pickpocket the key off one of the marks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kailieann Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 side note.... the slim side quests are only available if your main character is a rouge No. Slim is only available if your main character has Stealth (which is Rogue-only) or Stealing (which is universal).
