Best Way to Make Money in Wartales

Making Gold is essential in Wartales as it allows players to upgrade their gear, buy more materials, and progress in the game. However, especially in the early stages of the game, it’s not easy to make money.

The best way to make money in Wartales is by participating in Rat Infestations. These award raw Gold and a variety of materials that can be sold to merchants for even more profit.

In this guide, I will list the best ways to make money in Wartales to help you progress in the game faster.

Best Ways to Make Money in Wartales

There are various ways to make money in Wartales, both during the early and mid/late stages of the game. Without further delay, let’s examine the best ways to make money.

1. Rat Infestations

Rat Infestations show up as combat encounters and provide solid loot. When completed, they will reward users with around 300 gold, as well as a variety of materials.

These materials can then be sold at merchants and players can end up making more than 1,500 gold for each Rat Infestation.

Additionally, Rat Infestations award influence when completed, which is helpful to increase rewards gained from completing Bounties.

2. Bounties

Bounties are more of a late-game activity that becomes more rewarding based on the influence you’ve got. Thus, after increasing your influence, visit the bounty board at the inn of the town and check the available contracts.

Additionally, you can negotiate for increased rewards. However, keep in mind that you can haggle up to three times to increase rewards, and failing once will block you from haggling again for that contract.

3. Selling Raw Materials

Make sure to sell any materials you aren’t using since some can be worth a substantial amount.

Also, each town includes a special merchant who sells specific trade goods. Players can buy these goods and then sell them in a different town to make more profit.

The further away you go from the place where you purchased them, the more money you’ll be able to make by selling them.

4. Capturing and Selling Prisoners

A great way to make money in Wartales is by capturing and selling prisoners. Start by buying shackles from a jailer in any town.

Then, engage in combat with any group of outlaws (bandits, deserters) and kill most of them. Select up to three that you want to capture, leave them on below half HP, bring a party member near them, and select the ‘knock out’ option.

This will shackle the bandit and you’ll be able to bring them with you and sell them.

Then, turn them in at the nearest jail and you’ll get 100 coins for each level 1 prisoner (more for higher levels).

Keep in mind that while transferring the prisoner, you’ll need to feed them to ensure they stay alive. Also, the prison can hold up to three prisoners, which is why I recommended going for three only.

5. Stealing and Fighting Guards

Lastly, a more challenging way to make money is by stealing items from the villagers. While their items aren’t worth much, you’ll end up getting chased by guards almost immediately.

Make sure to defeat and loot the guards to gain equipment that can be sold for solid money. Of course, it’s essential to be able to defeat the guards for this method to work, so make sure your party is strong enough.

Wrapping up

To summarize, the best way to make money in Wartales is by completing Rat Infestations. Then, after increasing your influence, Bounties will be more rewarding and you’ll be able to take down guards and capture prisoners as you get stronger.

For a more peaceful option, a great option is trading goods between cities.
