The Best Methods for Making Crowns

Okay, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. There are a few tried-and-true methods that have been around for a while, and others that have been discovered more recently, that can help you get infinite money in The Witcher 3. Keep in mind that some methods might be patched over time, so always check for the latest updates. I will try to keep this guide updated as well. But let's get this party started! I will start with the most popular and easiest methods.

The Duplication Glitch (Various Patches)

Alright, this is the big one, the glitch that has kept on giving throughout various patches. While it has been addressed multiple times, the community often finds new variations or workarounds. The core idea is to duplicate valuable items, sell them to vendors, and boom — instant crowns! This involves manipulating the game's inventory system. You guys will have to understand how to get into this glitch. The exact steps can vary depending on your game version, so it's best to search for the most current tutorial for your platform (PC, PlayStation, Xbox). There are tons of videos and guides online. Most of the time, the duplication glitch involves placing an item in a specific inventory slot, saving the game, reloading, and then the item reappears. You can then sell the duplicated items to merchants. The best items to duplicate are those with high value. Think about crafting materials, high-level swords, and armor. These will fetch the most crowns.

Pros:

• Fast: Once you get the hang of it, this can be incredibly quick.
• Easy to understand: The concept is simple.
• High reward: You can get a lot of money quickly.

Cons:

• Requires precision: You need to follow the steps exactly.
• May be patched: Glitches are always at risk of being fixed by the developers.
• Can be considered cheating: Depending on your perspective, this method might feel like exploiting the game.

Crafting and Selling (Alchemy and Weaponry)

If you're not into glitches, this is a solid, reliable method. It involves crafting high-value items and then selling them to merchants. Focus on crafting alchemy items, especially those that use common and inexpensive ingredients, but yield a high sell value. For instance, creating and selling Enhanced Swallow Potions can be very profitable. You can also focus on crafting weapons and armor, particularly those with high stats and unique properties. Find the best crafting recipes and focus on maximizing your profit margins. To make this method work effectively, you'll need to invest in alchemy skills to get the best recipes and reduce the cost of the ingredients. Invest in skills like Acquired Tolerance to increase the number of potions you can use at once and the Heightened Tolerance to boost the toxicity threshold. This way, you can create even more potions. Explore the world to find better diagrams for crafting. Check merchants for cheap ingredients. This may not be infinite money as it will require you to actually play the game and put in the time. However, it will yield a large sum of money to fund your journey.

Pros:

• Consistent: It's always a viable money-making method.
• Legitimate: It's part of the game's mechanics.
• Useful: You also get to improve your skills and get better items.

Cons:

• Time-consuming: Requires some grinding to gather resources and craft items.
• Requires investment: You need to invest in skills and recipes.
• Less lucrative initially: Requires some time to get going and see profits.

The Loot and Sell Strategy

This method is less about infinite money and more about effective money management. It's about maximizing your profits from the loot you find while exploring the world, completing quests, and slaying monsters. Be sure to loot everything! Every chest, every body, every crate could contain something valuable. Sell your loot to merchants. Keep an eye out for high-value items like weapons, armor, crafting materials, and ingredients. But more importantly, identify the merchants who pay the best prices for different types of items. This can change from city to city. Some merchants will give you better prices for swords, while others pay more for armor or crafting components. Some will give you better prices for monster parts, so check it out. Always check a few merchants before selling your items. Use the best prices to maximize your profits. Make use of the merchant reset trick. Merchants restock their money and inventory every few days. This will allow you to sell more of your loot. Travel between different merchants to ensure you can sell all your loot. Prioritize the weight limit and the most valuable items. This will help you manage your inventory. This is not infinite money, but this is a great way to earn a steady income throughout your adventure.

Pros:

• Always available: You always loot items.
• No specific skills required: Just some good looting habits.
• Complements other methods: You can combine it with crafting and glitches.

Cons:

• Can be slow: The income is not as high as other methods.
• Inventory management: Requires good inventory skills.
• Depends on luck: Your income can fluctuate based on loot quality.

Advanced Tips and Tricks

Alright, now let's level up our money-making game with some advanced strategies. These tips can help you optimize your gameplay and maximize your profits.

Merchant Locations and Prices

As I mentioned before, not all merchants are created equal. Some merchants will pay more for specific items, so knowing where to sell your loot is crucial. Here are some quick tips:

• Blacksmiths: Generally, pay good prices for weapons, armor, and crafting components.
• Armorer: Will pay top dollar for armor and related items.
• Herbalists: Always looking for herbs, plants, and ingredients.
• Innkeepers: A good option for selling food and low-value items.
• Merchants in Novigrad: Novigrad is a hub for many merchants. Be sure to check them all.
• Merchants in Oxenfurt: Similar to Novigrad, these merchants offer a wide variety of items.

Maximizing Inventory Space

Inventory management is a key skill to master in Witcher 3. You can only carry so much, and you don’t want to be constantly overburdened. Here's how to manage your inventory like a pro:

• Saddlebags: Invest in saddlebags for your horse, Roach. They increase your carrying capacity. Get the best saddlebags you can afford. The Toussaint saddlebags are some of the best.
• Weight Limit: Always be aware of your weight limit. Prioritize the most valuable items and the least heavy ones.
• Dismantle Junk: Dismantle unwanted weapons, armor, and items to get crafting components. Sell or use these to craft better items.
• Sell Often: Regularly sell your items to avoid being overburdened.
• Use Storage: Store items in your stash at the inn in White Orchard and other locations.

Exploiting the Economy

Think about the game's economy. The more you know, the better. Here are some economic tricks:

• Buy Low, Sell High: Always buy crafting components and materials when they are cheap and sell crafted items for a profit.
• Price Fluctuations: The prices change depending on the region. Take advantage of it.
• Merchant Restocks: Remember to return to merchants to sell items when they restock. This gives you time to find more items to sell.
