Money making guide

Facts

 * You should be able to accumulate at least 500 by the time you finish all 4 main quests (Broken Circle, Arl of Redcliffe, Nature of the Beast, Paragon of His Kind). If you collect all the loot items and sell everything to the NPC.
 * It is possible to accumulate over 1,000 prior to the Landsmeet. This requires you to do all the available quests, pass all the money-related coertion dialogues, steals from all NPCs (out of combat).

Legit Ways to Earn Money

 * Do side quests (Chanter's Board, Blackstone Irregulars, Mage Circle, Rogue Quests). All these side quests reward you 1-6 as a for completing.
 * Lockpicking
 * Having a maxed-out Lockpicker in your group during the Queen Rescue quest, will earn you at least 10
 * Having a max-out Lockpicker in your group in the last room of the Run-down Apartment in The Alienage, will earn you 22
 * Stealing will not net you as much money as Lockpicking but you could earn over 2 by the end of the game simply from Stealing.
 * Be straight forward. Everytime there's a dialogue option to ask for Money, Go for it. There's Not one option in-game where you get more money by not asking. Worst case scenario is you will get turned down &/ looked down by the NPC, but these decisions will not have any long-term effects toward your ending (Except for the dialogue at the Post-Coronation Ceremony).
