How To Farm Gold in Moonlighter 2

By newsgame

In Moonlighter 2, players are tasked with finding a way to get Will and his friends back to their homeland against all the odds. Thankfully, the Endless Vault provides ample opportunities to do just that, but at a price.

As a combined dungeon-crawling shop management game, making money is at the heart of the player experience. With this in mind, understanding how to make money fast in Moonlighter 2 will help players progress through the game and experience its perks with far more efficiency.

Moonlighter 2: Which Starting Weapon Should You Choose?

Players have a choice between four starter weapons in Moonlighter 2. Here’s everything you need to know.

Increase A Relic’s Quality

In addition to the item’s rarity, a relic’s quality in Moonlighter 2 plays a significant part in determining how much earning potential it has for you on display. The higher an item’s quality, the greater the base multiplier when on sale, which, of course, means more money in Will’s pocket.

Relics will be collected each time you complete an encounter with the chest symbol. If you plan your run accordingly, you can find yourself in the midst of countless encounters will chest rewards, which will help fill your backpack in a hurry. Bear in mind, you always have the option to return home early with the Pendant, which is handy if your backpack is full or your health is running low.

Keep Valuable/Rare Relics For Multiple Runs

A number of relics have certain behaviors or curses that will be applied when specific requirements are met, some of which will be triggered multiple times. This will generally apply to Epic relics or higher, but in instances where a relic’s power can be triggered constantly and improve its quality (or the quality of a neighboring item), you can greatly benefit from taking it on another one, two, or even more runs to increase its overall quality rating.

It isn’t compulsory to sell all the items in your backpack. In fact, you can store some with your shop assistant, K33P3R, which will free up some space for you to go on another run to collect more relics and improve your existing ones. A backpack full of valuable, high-quality relics, combined with those you store with K33P3R, can result in some very successful sale days.

Boost Earnings With Strategic Furniture Placement

There are multiple vendors that will make themselves known as you progress through Moonlighter 2, all of which can support Will’s progression and boost his earning potential. One such vendor is The Countess, who will sell you various Display Cases and Furniture items that you can use to decorate your shop and boost your earnings. Some of these, like the Prestige Display Case, will increase the value of the item it is displaying.

Furniture and Display Cases can be collected at random by Will on any given run. Keep an eye out for recipe encounters, identifiable by the scroll symbol, when plotting out your next move on your way to the run’s final boss.

Increase Your Backpack Capacity ASAP

Naturally, the more items you have, the greater your earning capacity. With this in mind, spending your earnings on increasing the size of your inventory will facilitate a greater capacity for making money in a heartbeat. Among all the early skills and boosts you can spend your money on, your storage capacity will be one of the most important.

Players will be able to purchase additional backpack slots from Sliver after they encounter the NPC on their run. Keep an eye out for mystery encounters with a question mark symbol, as these may potentially be opportunities to interact with Sliver and bring him back to your home base.

Invest in Research and Services

Another two key vendors will help you in boosting your earning potential — K33P3R and Tomo. K33P3R has a number of valuable offerings in the “Merchant Progression” tab that range from introducing special higher-paying customers and unlocking Perkmeter slots to get boosts during a sale day. Tomo, on the other hand, has a completely different, but equally important, approach, as she is concerned with how often you find Deluxe relics, higher rarity relics, and how often you may find chests in pairs on your run.

Players will need to strike a balance between improving their in-shop experience and boosting their chances of finding high-value loot more frequently, as the both of them go hand-in-hand to increasing the amount of gold you make per sale day. Be sure to visit them regularly to reap the benefits of a few fruitful partnerships.

Use The Shop Perkmeter

Players will be rewarded for the positive sales they make during sale days in the Moonlighter by the Perkmeter. This meter increases with every purchase made that carries a positive customer response, so primarily a Cheap or Perfect sale. Once the meter increases enough to fill a slot, you can choose a Perk from a random list of three, many of which will improve your earning potential.

The Perkmeter can also be improved by K33P3R by purchasing upgrades, some of which will allow you to score extra perks on the same sale day. When you start combining perks with rare items, high-quality items in special display cases, you can put yourself in a position to earn tens of thousands of gold from a single transaction.
