How to Make Easy Money in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PS4 Post Patch 1.04

Push Square: "He, er, no longer sells sea shells from his Novigrad store. But that's okay, because we've found another little nifty trick that will enable you to maximise your profits in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on the PlayStation 4. While this one takes a little longer than the previous exploit, it guarantees you a tidy profit, which will allow you to keep Geralt furnished with fine hilts for his various long swords."

Don't like easy way out tricks. I can make money just buy sales of different items.
Treasure hunts and contracts.

[nucky64]

agreed - I'm not even trying to stockpile money and last I checked I had around 18,000.

[DEEBO]

Yeah i'm at 23,000.it's good to have money but i'm more into gear&weapons.

School of the bear gear is so cool.

[Alexander1Nevermind]

Yeah I'm 14k and not even trying to get money. No need for this glitch for me. Im more into finding the witcher gear. Cool to know though.

[Baka-akaB]

I dont think it's even an exploit , you're exploiting a gullible merchant and being a savvy trader there . And it's something anyone exploring the city noticed

it's not a glitch either , the guy is obviously designed to be poor because he buy stuff at retail price , you're exploiting this to benefit . And you still gotta sell tons of wares to merchant with still limited coins to make a profit

[SeanScythe]

The guy I bought the shells from is far from poor now. Lol He's nearly $30k easy. He could retire now.... which this patch has done.

[JsonHenry]

Money was tight for the first few hours. But I'm sitting on a pile of money right now with nothing to buy. Ingredients however can be a slow process when crafting all the upgraded versions of the witcher gear.

[SeanScythe]

Stupid to patch a single player game like this. Either people will use to exploit or not. Why do they care what we do? It's not affecting a leaders board or breaking the game. They should focus on fixing glitches not stuff like this.

[xTheMercenary_]

Then don't download the update. Simple as that.

[SeanScythe]

no it's not as simple as that, the patch fixes issues broken in the game. Patching exploits found are not productive and help no one in SP games. If it's not affecting gameplay or gamebreaking leave it alone.

[xTheMercenary_]

I obviously know it has bug fixes etc. But if you're complaining about the exploit the only way to not stop it from working is to not download the patch. If you're finding it hard to get money in the game you shouldn't be playing, it really isn't hard to get money anyway. I mean i understand what you mean as this doesn't affect gameplay or is gamebreaking but developers will be developers and they'll try there absolute best to prevent stuff like this from happening. Also money in game isn't used much as you find good loot as you progress through the game.

[Dustinf11]

Well said "if you are having a hard time getting money than you shouldn't be playing."

I don't get it either.

[AstroCyborg]

exploits are glitches

[skulz7]

Money isn't really that useful. I think you really only need money for repairing / crafting and buying runes if you need. You find good gear in the world.

[Taero]

I'm level 13, midway through quests in Novigrad and have over 3k gold and my inventory is literally exploding with mats, I can make items that are 15 levels above me right now with what I have, I have flawless rubies/emeralds etc. just sitting there and a 'junk' tab with so much stuff to dismantle I can't even bring myself to start.

How much gold are we actually thinking we need here?

[SeanScythe]

I have 38k on hand and 95k in coins to trade in. This is a 200+ hour game and not to mention all the DLC coming out. I want to be able to buy whatever I want without farming for money. The beginning of the game was annoying with no cash. I'd often forget where gwent cards where or certain things I wanted to buy once I had the money. Now if I want it I buy it. I also don't have to horde everything I loot to later sale to someone. Being over burdened with tons of loot was a pain.

[dumahim]

I found a merchant who had 68 exploding bolts. I think it cost about 18,000 gold to buy them all.

Thankfully, I made money doing the sea shell thing in Novigrad to cover it, but it brought me pretty low, but I had a ton of junk I never bothered selling until then, which almost got me back to where I was.

[Toiletsteak]

Thank you, i don't normally do this but i needed to, to get to Skellige and i didn't have the 1000.

[dumahim]

Look up the sea shell trick in Novigrad. MUCH faster. Just don't bother going over 60k since it just rolls over at some point and you lose a bunch. You'll be fine with 20k.

[feraldrgn]

If they patch this one out, which is crafting for profit, another game staple, then CDPR really don't want us to make money in the game.

[Dustinf11]

Now everyone is going to ruin that guy on the north Shore of novigrad who pays retail prices. I like to use him, but not in a cheating way. It's great to have someone willing to give you a good amount for a coveted item that no longer has a place in your fights.

[Dustinf11]

How can anyone be hurting on money? Unless you only play main missions and never explore, you should have plenty. I have at least <20,000 at any given time.
