Witcher 3: Earn money quickly - how it works

Money is often tight in The Witcher 3. So here are the best tips on how to make money quickly. Not only is looting important, they also have to negotiate, complete orders and do sideline jobs.

The Witcher 3: Earn money quickly with horse racing and fist fights

Horse racing and fist fights are two of the many quest lines in The Witcher 3.

• In each of the three regions - Velen, Novigrad and Skellige - there is a limited number of horse races, usually three.
• The earnings at horse races are not extremely good, but you do get practical equipment.
• In addition to cash wages, you often receive a saddle or saddlebags for victories. With a new saddle, you can win races even easier. With the saddlebags you won you can carry more loot with you which can be sold later.
• You can find boxing matches in the questline "Flying Fists". The fights can be found equally in Velen, Novigrad and Skellige.
• In addition, boxing matches are an excellent source of income, as they usually last only one minute and bring in between 100 and 300 crowns.
• In both quest lines you should bet the maximum value and save it before the fight. If you don't want to let a defeat take you, just load the old game.
• Gwint is not worthwhile as a source of income because the rounds take a long time and you can only make 10 crowns. If you are still interested in playing cards, you will find the best tips for Gwint here.

The Witcher 3: Earn money quickly with witcher orders

In addition to the main and side quests, there are also so-called witcher orders.

• Wizards are particularly worthwhile, as they bring in between 200 and 400 crowns. Most of the time, the monster hunt doesn't last very long.
• You can find witchcraft assignments on bulletin boards in villages and towns. You can recognize them by the heading "Order".
• With every witcher assignment you can negotiate with the client for the reward. Save the game before the trial. So you can load the game if you ask too much and scare away the client.
• After the successful hunt, you will often find a trophy on the monster corpse. This brings nice effects, but can also be sold for a lot of money.
• You should empty your pockets before starting a witcher job. This is how you make sure that you can collect all the items for later sale.

The Witcher 3: Earn money quickly by looting

This tip is particularly important at the beginning because it is one of the few safe sources of income.

• The trick is simple, but also very important: loot every corpse and every box you find.
• When the pockets are full, run to the dealer and sell the unnecessary items. But be careful: All retailers have a limited budget. However, if you meditate for a day, the dealer has enough money again.
• Most traders only buy certain goods: you can get rid of armor and weapons from the blacksmith, while the tavern owner only accepts food.
• Selling weapons and armor is particularly expensive. However, they take up a lot of space, so you have to go to the blacksmith more often. Be sure to loot bandits who have been killed. They always have weapons with them.
• Under "Other items" there are often chains and skins that you often get, but can also sell at a high price.
• To be able to carry more loot, you should always look for larger saddlebags for roach.

In order to loot soldiers and monsters, you must first kill them. Therefore, you will find the best fighting tips for "The Witcher 3" in another practical tip.
