Gold Farming

There are several ways to make extra gold in this game, but most of them are illegitimate and run the risk of either corrupting the player's save file, preventing an achievement from unlocking, and/or being patched in later game updates.

Some methods, however, appear to be built into the game's mechanics. These legitimate methods will earn the player extra money, but will most often require time, some up-front gold investment, and patience to achieve.

Potent Lyrium Potions Farming
Making Potent Lyrium Potions is one legitimate way to make extra money. The following steps are repeatable.

1. Make sure Morrigan or your character has master level herbalism. 2. Buy the Potent Lyrium Potion Recipe from Tranquil Proprietor in the Denerim Market District for 11g 00s 00c. 3. Buy stacks of lyrium dust from the Quartermaster in The Circle Tower. The more stacks you can purchase the fewer trips you need to make. Each stack costs 09g 50s 40c. 4. Buy concentrator agents, distillation agents, and flasks from the Gnawed Noble Tavern ONLY. Bodahn Feddic in the party camp sells them more expensively and eliminates any profit.

5. Make the potions and sell them to the Gnawed Noble innkeeper. Use the profits to purchase more distillation and concentration agents.

Note: You make around 1 in profit for every 5 Potent Lyrium Potions sold through this method.

Tip: If you happen to be a Dwarf Noble, don't sell the Potions to the Innkeeper. Instead, sell them to Gorim, the merchant at the Denerim Marketplace. He should be quite familiar to you.

He will buy everything from you at a 50% discount, instead of the normal 25%.
