How to Make Money Fast
Below, we list the best habits and methods for earning money while playing. Each one is explained so you can see how it fits into your usual gameplay.
| Method | How It Works | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Quests | Complete main and side quests as you go along | Good for early game cash, but not the fastest way |
| Selling Loot to Factions | Loot items from enemies and animals, then sell to the right faction | Smugglers buy the widest variety of valuable items |
| Exploration Loot | Find items in temples, ruins, swamps, and farms, then sell them | Top relics fetch the highest prices |
| Currency Conversion | Swap Piastres for Guineas or the other way around at vendors | Not super efficient, but helpful when in a pinch |
| Ship Combat (Sinking) | Fight and sink enemy ships, then collect the loot dropped | Fast method; however, boarding yields more profit |
| Ship Combat (Boarding) | Weaken ships, board them, and defeat the crew for extra rewards | The best overall way to make money |
Each of these methods can be integrated into your normal gameplay. Whether you’re completing quests, exploring ruins, or fighting on the sea, you have plenty of options to grow your wealth efficiently.
