Making money in The Witcher 3 can be a grind for new and veteran players alike. Witcher gear isn’t cheap, and Geralt’s inventory fills up quickly, especially early in the game.

Fortunately, there’s no shortage of ways to bulk up your coin pouch. Some money-making methods are honest, some are a little dubious, and others are downright cheating.

Whether you’re an altruistic witcher or you’re not opposed to getting your gauntlets dirty for a few extra Crowns, our Witcher 3 money guide has got you covered.

Tips for looting and making money in TW3

• Loot everything, broken oars and butterknives included.
• Sell items to the right merchants — armor to armorers, weapons to blacksmiths, alchemy ingredients to herbalists, etc.
• Complete Witcher contracts. Always haggle for the best price.
• Convert Florens and Orens into Crowns at Vivaldi Bank in Novigrad.
• Upgrade Roach’s saddlebags as soon as possible so you can carry more stuff.
• Activate the Strong Back perk for +60 max carry weight.
• Use the Fiend Decoction for +20 max carry weight when looting.
• To save money on crafting materials, buy dimeritium ore from the armorer at Kaer Trolde in Skellige. He charges the lowest price in the game.
• If you’re playing Blood and Wine, wait until you travel to Touissant to start looting smuggler’s caches and hidden treasures in Skellige. Sell your swords and armor to smiths in Toussaint, or at the tourney grounds.

Witcher 3 Money Glitches & Strategies

Most money glitches in TW3 have been patched but there are still great ways to make money, glitch or not. If one of the below methods doesn’t work for you, or if you know of another one, share your money-making wisdom in the comments!

Cow hides glitch

Who knew setting cows on fire would be the best money exploit in TW3? This used to be an option in White Orchard until CDPR patched it. (More on that update in the next money-making tip.) But this glitch still works at a farm in northeastern Velen.

Travel to Martin Feuille’s Farmstead. Walk about 150 paces northeast of the main farm to find an empty pasture. Meditate for an hour and cows will spawn. Use Igni to kill them in one hit and loot them. Repeat several times.

Each hide fetches 42 crowns from the right merchants. You can also sell cow’s milk and raw meat at the Inn on the Crossroads.

Best places to sell cow hides:

• The Alchemy Inn, Oxenfurt
• Marquise Serenity at The Passiflora, Novigrad
• Jonas the Innkeep at Newport Inn, Kaer Trolde Harbor
• Dupont & Sons art merchant in Beauclair, next to the grandmaster smith

Bonus: Secret chort boss

Remember how we mentioned CDPR patched the cowhide money exploit in White Orchard? They replaced it with a secret boss. This money-making tip won’t exactly make Geralt rich, but monster hides are some of the most valuable alchemy items to sell.

Travel to Woesong Bridge and start killing cows in the pen near the signpost. Kill 6 of them to summon a chort. Beware if you’re low-level: the chort is level 27. 

Battle the chort and loot its corpse for a chort hide (base value of 324 crowns), raw meat, and a chort mutagen. Chort hides aren’t used for crafting, so it’s easy money.

Hanse Base Farming

Another great way to make money is to farm one of the 3 Hanse Bases in Toussaint. We recommend this method if you enjoy combat and want to feel like you’re earning the gold in a more honest way.

Here’s how it works:

1. Travel to a Hanse base and kill and loot all of the bandits except the leader/boss.
2. Fast travel to a merchant to sell the gear (we recommend selling to the Beauclair blacksmith Lafargue for the best prices).
3. Fast travel back to the Hanse base; the bandits will be respawned so you can kill and loot them again.

Monster nests

When you destroy and loot a monster nest, leave one common item behind. Then, meditate for 5 days and the loot will respawn. Some players said they only needed to meditate for 2 days, while others said 6 days worked for them.

Note: this glitch only works on monster nests you haven’t cleared yet.

Check out the video above for a full explanation.

Money cheats in TW3

Console commands

Console commands are the easiest way to get unlimited money in Witcher 3. First, you need to enable the Witcher 3 debug console.

After that:

1. Open the console (~ key) and input the command addmoney(Amount). 
2. Replace “Amount” with however many Crowns you want.
3. Profit!

Curious about other console commands in WItcher 3? Here’s complete list of all the commands.

Mods

High-value items to sell in The Witcher 3

No merchants in the game buy items for full price, but some pay more than others. Let’s take a look at some of the highest-value items in the game and where to sell them.

Pearls

Like cow hides, pearl farming was once a profitable money exploit in TW3. Unfortunately, CDPR caught onto that one too. But pearls are still valuable, selling for 100+ Crowns each. Head to the Fish Market in Novigrad to find a merchant who sells seashells (by the seashore).

Honeycomb

This money-making tip is best for broke players looking to make some cash early in the game. Over 25 beehives in White Orchard contain 2-4 honeycomb each. Use Igni to burn them and loot the honeycomb. Beware: the bees will retaliate! They’re also a worthy opponent to low-level witchers.

Read the notice board in White Orchard to learn that Tomira, the local herbalist, is looking to buy honeycomb. She’ll purchase each one for 18 Crowns — a much better price than the average 2 to 7 Crowns.

Extra alchemy ingredients

Once you’ve crafted all your bombs, potions, and decoctions, sell your leftover ingredients. Keep between 10 and 20 of each item just in case.

If you have a lot of items to sell, you’ll need to do some traveling or meditating, since most herbalists and alchemists only have between 500 and 1,000 Crowns at a time.

Best places to sell alchemy ingredients:

• The herbalist in Kaer Trolde Harbor 
• The alchemist east of the Oxenfurt Gate signpost in Novigrad
• The herbalist northeast of Oxenfurt at The Herbalist’s Hut

Best ingredients to sell:

• Monster hides
• Crystallized essence
• Devourer’s blood

This isn’t a complete list — sort by price when selling for the best results.

Common, master, and magic weapons and armor

Quick money hack: sell every Novigrad longsword and blunt ax you find. While high-level relic items are lucrative, you may want to dismantle them for rare crafting materials instead.

Best places to sell weapons and armor:

• Armorer and blacksmith at Kaer Trolde
• Grandmaster armorer in Toussaint
• Armorers and blacksmiths in Novigrad and Oxenfurt

Gems

Dismantle jewelry to get gems, which you can sell for a decent price at most general merchants.

Tip: Keep flawless gems and dismantle jewelry containing green gold. You’ll need these rare, expensive materials to craft some Witcher gear items.

Glyphs and runestones

Greater glyphs and runestones fetch well over 1,000 Crowns each. Even basic runestones go for up to 900 Crowns. Visit Yoanna in Crow’s Perch to upgrade your runes for cheap. Then, sell them to the armorer in Novigrad’s Hierarch Square for the best price.

Books 

You don’t need to keep most books or notes once you’ve read them. Just be sure to hang on to A Miraculous Guide to Gwent. Marcus T.K. Hodgson in Hierarch Square pays the best price for books.

Junk

Overencumbered by broken rakes and wooden ladles? Sell them to the merchant wearing red in Hierarch Square. You’ll find him by Marcus T.K. Hodgson’s bookstore.

The Witcher 3 money-making guide: wrapping up

Whether you want to get rich through honest work, or use glitches, mods, or cheats, we’ve covered some of the best ways and tips for making money in Witcher 3.

Some players might dislike stealing from peasants or using console commands. Fortunately for them, there are plenty of honest ways to make Crowns quickly. 

Now all that’s left to do is head down to the Passiflora brothel and make it rain! Or if you’re a more pragmatic Witcher, why not spend the money on crafting Witcher school weapons, runes, or enchantments?

Mel Lee-Smith

Mel Lee-Smith is a freelance writer, managing editor, and Witcher nerd. She usually spends her free time slaying monsters, playing Gwent, and foraging for herbs in Beauclair. She’s currently replaying TW3 NewGame+ on DeathMarch.

Brawling in the pubs, arm-wrestling and monster drops notwithstanding, you can also make a fair amount of money by making an abundance of potions from those same monster drops and selling the potions instead.

Also, weapons, though quite heavy, are also good for at least 7-15 gold each, and thankfully the townspeople are pretty oblivious when it comes to you walking into their houses and robbing them blind. Vergen (chapter 2) is a great place to pick up stacks and stacks of weapons then walk across the road and sell them to one of the same townspeople.

Chapter 1, I made a fair amount killing all the Scoiatel and looting their 'Blue Mountain' swords (11g each), and Chapter 2, the Kaedweni soldiers you see setting up ambushes and such (or more Scoiatel if you sided with Henselt) each sell for 8-11g. Add that with the armour you sell off after replacing, the potions you sell off and the monster parts (as well as quest rewards, of course), you can usually hit Chapter 2 with 3-5k gold depending on how much you buy as you go along.

It's not much, but it sets you up with a good start for the 10,000 gold Steam achievement if you have it available, and also gives you plenty of cash to buy the 'Epic' armours from the various vendors once you're in Chapter 2.bishoparts - 10 years ago - report0   2

A witcher's life is far from luxurious, always on the road fighting hellish monsters, and perhaps the occasional tankard of mead if they're lucky and have the coin. Frugal lives to be sure, but the highly adaptable mutants have picked up a few tricks in their travels on how to scrape by.

Compiled below is a list of adventure tips to establish sound habits for keeping a fat coin purse throughout Geralt's travels and learning how to make money in The Witcher 3.

Updated by Kim Dailey on March 8, 2022: The Witcher 3's popularity isn't fading anytime soon, so we continue to revisit each bit of content to expand upon our wealth of knowledge on the game in order to enrich gameplay for newcomers and returning witchers alike. After adding an entirely new section to help you avoid overspending and identifying frivolous purchases, this time we are just popping in for a quick clean-up to better display the information and clarify a few points.

Essential Starting Tips For Finding Lootable Items

Witcher Senses Are Key For Treasure Hunting

Witchers will want to use their witcher senses to scope out their surroundings habitually. The many sights, sounds, and smells detected by witcher senses are depicted by red and yellow color coding for quick differentiation.

Enemies often yield valuable bounty, while countless lootables are stored in crates and other parcels around every turn along the path, at camps, and in abundance throughout cities-- just be careful of the guards.

Some takeaways may be utilized to sustain Geralt throughout his travels, such as food, alchemy ingredients, and crafting materials. However, many items are best sold to vendors. Scanning an area with Geralt's keen witcher senses before moving on from any area ensures no rare or essential items get overlooked either.

Don't Get Swindled By The Dwarven Blacksmith in White Orchard

Geralt's adventures in The Witcher 3 begin in White Orchard, where you can easily fill up Geralt's inventory pouches if you want to get advantageous straight away with some early-game trading, which we'd highly encourage.

Don't Forget, Witchers Have A Job To Do

Witchers earn their living by taking on Monster Hunts, or contracts as they are often referred to. While Witcher Contracts can't solely sustain a witcher's lifestyle, they are a key source of their income along with mini-quests.

Both types of quests earn experience and a small payout while providing plenty of looting opportunities along the way. These quests also tend to be quick and straightforward.

Selling Vs. Dismantling

When sorting through Geralt's inventory, it's best to sell weapons and armor rather than dismantling them generally, as they fetch higher prices with Blacksmiths and Armorers.

Junkcan be dismantled at cheaper rates and provide crafting resources or more valuable components in the process.

That leads us to another tip: Always know what you are selling. Take seashells, for instance. You could sell them as is to clear inventory and make a few extra coins. But that vendor is getting a better deal than either of you bargained for when they find the valuable pearl inside.

Don't Become A Traveling Bookkeeper

Geralt picks up many books throughout adventuring, and if he takes the time to read them, he is excellent at committing the information to memory, which alleviates the need to truck around an entire library. He may simply access the book log through the menu. This permanent recording means that books have no further use once read and may be sold for some extra coin. And we know just the place to offload Geralt's literature collection, which we will discuss later on.RELATED: The Witcher 3: The King is Dead – Long Live the King Walkthrough

Lucrative Looting Sites In The Witcher 3

In the early game, some looting opportunities are well worth the time.

White Orchard Bovine Hack

CD Projekt Red gave players a fighting chance to line their pockets straight out of the gates by stocking the starter region of White Orchard with valuable loot and drops. There is even a well-known hack involvingthe cowsgrazing between the Woesong Bridge and the edge of town.

Firstly, the two cows residing on the outskirts of town drop Raw Meat and Cow's Milk, which the right vendors will buy at a fair price. You can exploit these drops by stepping away to meditate for a few hours. When Geralt returns, the bovine will have respawned fresh for the kill and re-laden with meat and milk once more.

White Orchard Guard Post

The guard post stationed across the Woesong Bridge is stocked well with valuable crafting components and other miscellaneous items.

The Devil's Pit

When Geralt leaves Vizima after his audience with the Emporer, he will be dropped by the Hanged Man's Tree, and there's a particularly lucrative looting sight located nearby in this low-level territory.

The Devil's Pit is a bandit camp outside the town of Mulbrydale. While it may seem a daunting undertaking early in the game, it is entirely manageable if approached methodically with wise usage of alchemy and signs.

After successfully raiding the base, Geralt will earn enough plunder between the camp's wealth of supplies and the dozens of slain bandits to fill his bags two times over.

There is also a bee farm outside Novigrad with Honeycomb free for the taking. Honeycomb is a food item that replenishes vitality. However, Herbalistspay top dollar for the sweet nectar due to its alchemy properties.

Cities

As mentioned earlier, cities also provide lucrative looting grounds. Just be sure to rummage around at night when there are fewer guards.

Smuggler Caches

Smuggler caches are golden looting opportunities and an excellent way to upgrade armor for free early on.

• The waters around Novigrad harbor several of these sunken treasure troves. Several Smuggler caches are scattered along the seabed of the canal and around Novigrad's docks to kickstart the mid-game.
• The Skellige isles have claimed far more of these treasure troves, and with greater reward comes greater risks and deadlier waters.

Not All Vendors Are Made Equally

Vendors offer better prices for items correlating to their specialties. Meaning Armorer's pay more for armor, Blacksmiths provide better deals on swords, Bookkeepers value books, and so forth.

Armorers Vs. Blacksmiths

Most pieces of equipment you loot from enemies or old chests won't be of any defensive value, so it's best to relieve Geralt of this cumbersome plunder with a reputable Armorer or Blacksmith. Which vendor he stops off at first, will depend on what type of equipment Geralt has accumulated along his travels, though he'll likely find it most advantageous to do particular dealings with both vendors in order to maximize his profits.

Armorers

Naturally, armor is most valuable to armorers. Though blacksmiths can still make use of the raw materials, Armorers will pay a marginally better price.

You'll want to sell most pieces of armor unless Geralt's short on particular crafting components, in which case he can dismantle some for less than it would cost to buy the individual components. Armorers will also pay good money for Roach's old tack.

Blacksmiths

Blacksmiths more readily trade in weapons, though they only truly value metalwork. If Geralt has had a lot of run-ins with bandits lately, he'll likely have looted moreclubs and axes than blades. Any weapon made of more wood than metal will fetch agreater price among Armorers instead. Or they may better service Geralt by dismantling them into scraps to be reused in crafting better gear, rather than buying something from the shop.

Herbalists

As mentioned earlier, Herbalists buy Honeycomb at higher rates than other vendors due to the Honeycomb's double use for alchemy. Likewise, any ingredient with alchemical properties will fetch a fair price with Herbalists. However, as an alchemist himself, Geralt should think twice before peddling away his ingredients, as some are rarer than others, and all can prove invaluable in concocting witcher decoctions.

Innkeepers

Inns are great for unloading excess food and hides. Because hides also provide crafting materials, it's tactical to sell about half and dismantle the rest. Inns are also a wise place to offload silverware, bobbles, jewelry, and other fine trinkets.

To ensure Geralt's not getting swindled, compare the Innkeeper's rates with items like Erveluce, which earn about ten crowns per bottle at a decent rate. The Innkeeper, just off of the Hierarch Square in Novigrad, offers fair prices, as we'll discuss further in just a minute. The vendors in Skellige strike even better deals; if Geralt's so inclined, an early voyage can prove exceptionally advantageous.

Novigrad's Hierarch Square

One of Novigrad's center hubs is Hierarch Square, and there are many profitable stops to be found while visiting.

Vivaldi Bank

The first person you should be visiting is the banker, Vimme Vivaldi, on the corner of Hierarch Square to get a loan and exchange Orens and Florens for more crowns.

Armorer

Just down from Vivaldi's bank is the Armorer, who, along with the Armorer in Oxenfurt, offers the best prices for outdated armor.

Blacksmith

Likewise, the Blacksmiths just South of Hierarch Square and in Oxenfurt offer the best prices on swords.

Bookkeeper

Following the covered walkway around the corner, there's a bookshop at the end of the line of shops. The Bookkeeper, Marcus, sells and buys books along with bestowing a mini-quest upon you. The quest entails looting books from the shop, which can be sold back to the unwitting shop keep.

Alchemy Merchant

There's a Merchant towards the center of the square specializing in the various Cordials, Oils, and Spirits. This is an excellent place to sell unneeded items such as Alchemy Powder and Paste.

Roughly seven Alchemy Powders are needed throughout the game. The rest are good for coin.

Alchemy Paste is a material used to craft Master Repair Kits. However, Journeyman kits suit early adventures sufficiently, and the paste holds a decent financial value.

Conservative Spending

Don't overstock on everyday wares. A common mistake witchers make is to over-prepare. While it's true that a witcher must always be prepared for any situation; they also have acute witcher senses that help them gather most of what they might require as they travel, without the need to deal with merchants.

Here's a list of some basic supplies Geralt likely won't need to buy except for on rare occasions if he is resourceful enough.

The life of a witcher may not be exceptionally profitable, but knowing the tricks of the trade will keep the coin purse fat. The key secret lies in finding lucrative treasure troves and dealing with the most advantageous merchants.

Essential Starting Tips For Finding Lootable Items

Witcher Senses Are Key For Treasure Hunting

Witchers will want to use their witcher senses to scope out their surroundings habitually. The many sights, sounds, and smells detected by witcher senses are depicted by red and yellow color coding for quick differentiation.

Enemies often yield valuable bounty, while countless lootables are stored in crates and other parcels around every turn along the path, at camps, and in abundance throughout cities-- just be careful of the guards.

Some takeaways may be utilized to sustain Geralt throughout his travels, such as food, alchemy ingredients, and crafting materials. However, witcher 2 make money, many items are best sold to vendors. Scanning an area with Geralt's keen witcher senses before moving on from any area ensures no rare or essential items get overlooked either.

Don't Get Swindled By The Dwarven Blacksmith in White Orchard

Geralt's adventures in The Witcher 3 begin in White Orchard, where you can easily fill up Geralt's inventory pouches if you want to get advantageous straight away with some early-game trading, which we'd highly encourage.

Don't Forget, Witchers Have A Job To Do

Witchers earn their living by taking on Monster Hunts, or contracts as they are often referred witcher 2 make money. While Witcher Contracts can't solely sustain a witcher's lifestyle, they are a key source of their income along with mini-quests.

Both types of quests earn experience and a small payout while providing plenty of looting opportunities along the way. These quests also tend to be quick and straightforward.

Selling Vs. Dismantling

When sorting through Geralt's inventory, it's best to sell weapons and armor rather than dismantling them generally, as they fetch higher prices with Blacksmiths and Armorers.

Junkcan be dismantled at cheaper rates and provide crafting resources or more valuable components in the process.

That leads us to another tip: Always know what you are selling. Take seashells, for instance. You could sell them as is to clear inventory and make a few extra coins. But that vendor is getting a better deal than either of you bargained for when they find the valuable pearl inside.

Don't Become A Traveling Bookkeeper

Lucrative Looting Sites In The Witcher 3

In the early game, some looting opportunities are well worth the time.

White Orchard Bovine Hack

CD Projekt Red supermarkets in dubai investment park players a fighting chance to line their pockets straight out of the gates by stocking the starter region of White Orchard with valuable loot and drops. There is even a well-known hack involvingthe cowsgrazing between the Woesong Bridge and the edge of town.

Firstly, the two cows residing on the outskirts of town drop Raw Meat and Cow's Milk, which the right vendors will buy at a fair price. You can exploit these drops by stepping away to meditate for a few hours. When Geralt returns, the bovine will have respawned fresh for the kill and re-laden with meat and milk once more.

White Orchard Guard Post

The guard post stationed across the Woesong Bridge is stocked well with valuable crafting components and other miscellaneous items.

The Devil's Pit

When Geralt leaves Vizima after his audience with the Emporer, he will be dropped by the Hanged Man's Tree, witcher 2 make money, and there's a particularly lucrative looting sight located nearby in this low-level territory.

The Devil's Pit is a bandit camp outside the town of Mulbrydale. While it may seem a daunting undertaking early in the game, it is entirely manageable if approached methodically with wise usage of alchemy and signs.

After successfully raiding the base, Geralt will earn enough plunder between the camp's wealth of supplies and the dozens of slain bandits to fill his bags two times over.

Vendors offer better prices for items correlating to their specialties. Meaning Armorer's pay more for armor, witcher 2 make money, Blacksmiths shorten urls and earn money better deals on swords, Bookkeepers value books, and so forth.

Armorers Vs. Blacksmiths

Most pieces of equipment you loot from enemies or old chests won't be of any defensive value, so it's best to relieve Geralt of this cumbersome plunder with a reputable Armorer or Blacksmith. Which vendor he stops off at first, will depend on what type of equipment Geralt has accumulated along his travels, though he'll likely find it most advantageous to do particular dealings with both vendors in order to maximize his profits.

Armorers

Naturally, armor is most valuable to armorers. Though blacksmiths can still make use of the raw materials, Armorers will pay a marginally better price.

You'll want to sell most pieces of armor unless Geralt's short on particular crafting bitcoin investor seriö s rights, in which case he can dismantle witcher 2 make money for less than it would cost to buy the individual components. Armorers will also pay good money for Roach's old tack.

Blacksmiths

Blacksmiths more readily trade in weapons, witcher 2 make money, though they only truly value metalwork. If Geralt has had a lot of run-ins with bandits lately, he'll likely have looted moreclubs and axes than blades. Any weapon made of more wood than metal will fetch agreater price among Armorers instead. Or they may better witcher 2 make money Geralt by dismantling them into scraps to be reused in crafting better gear, witcher 2 make money, rather than buying something from the shop.

Herbalists

As mentioned earlier, Herbalists buy Honeycomb at higher rates than other vendors due to the Honeycomb's double use for alchemy. Likewise, any ingredient with alchemical properties will fetch a fair price with Herbalists. However, as an alchemist himself, Geralt should think twice before peddling away his ingredients, as some are rarer than others, and all can prove invaluable in concocting witcher decoctions.

Innkeepers

Inns are great for unloading excess food and hides. Because hides also provide crafting materials, it's tactical to sell about half and dismantle the rest. Inns are also a wise place to offload silverware, witcher 2 make money, bobbles, jewelry, and other fine trinkets.

To ensure Geralt's not getting swindled, compare the Innkeeper's rates with items like Erveluce, which earn about ten crowns per bottle at a decent hubpages can you make money. The Innkeeper, just off of the Hierarch Square in Novigrad, offers fair prices, witcher 2 make money, as we'll discuss further in just a minute. The vendors in Skellige strike even better deals; if Geralt's so inclined, an early voyage can prove exceptionally advantageous.

Novigrad's Hierarch Square

One of Novigrad's center hubs is Hierarch Square, and there are many profitable stops to be found while visiting.

Vivaldi Bank

The first person you should be visiting is the banker, Vimme Vivaldi, on the corner of Hierarch Square to get a loan and exchange Orens and Florens for more crowns.

Armorer

Just down from Vivaldi's bank is the Armorer, who, along with the Armorer in Oxenfurt, offers the best prices for outdated armor.

Blacksmith

Likewise, the Blacksmiths just South of Hierarch Square and in Oxenfurt offer the best prices on swords.

Bookkeeper

Following the covered walkway around the corner, there's a bookshop at the end of the line of shops. The Bookkeeper, Marcus, sells and buys books along with bestowing a mini-quest upon you. The quest entails looting books from the shop, which can be sold back to the unwitting shop keep.

Alchemy Merchant

There's a Merchant towards the center of the square specializing in the various Cordials, Oils, and Spirits. This is an excellent place to witcher 2 make money unneeded items such as Alchemy Powder and Paste.

Roughly seven Alchemy Powders are needed throughout the game. The rest are good for coin.

Alchemy Paste is a material used to craft Master Repair Kits. However, Journeyman kits suit early adventures sufficiently, and the paste holds a decent financial value.

Conservative Spending

Don't overstock on everyday wares. A common mistake witchers make is to over-prepare. While it's true that a witcher must always be prepared for any situation; they also have acute witcher senses that help them gather most of what they might require as they travel, without the need to deal with merchants.

Here's a list of some basic supplies Geralt likely won't need to buy except for on rare occasions if he is resourceful enough.

The life of a witcher may not be exceptionally profitable, witcher 2 make money, but knowing the tricks of the trade will keep the coin purse fat. The key secret lies in finding lucrative treasure troves and dealing with the most advantageous merchants.
