Gold farming methods

Choosing a method

Method	Best suited to	Repeat limit	Main drawback
Short Regular dungeon runs	A character who can clear the entrance rooms reliably	Enemies and emptied containers refresh after 20 real minutes	Travel, repairs and selling take time
Searchable container routes	A character able to deal with search ambushes	Normally 25 real minutes per object; a public-room bug can restore taken contents	Results vary, and searches can spawn enemies
High-quality dungeon loot runs	A well-equipped character, preferably with Recall	The same 20-minute timer in Regular dungeons	Dangerous enemies can erase the saving in time
Dagon's Breach with a group	Characters able to survive in the court	One reward per breach; scheduled every 2 hours	A group must finish the fight and you must qualify for rewards
Starfall	A group during the Witches' Festival	Up to 9 claims per account daily	Seasonal; fights and travel still take time
Court and crafting writs	Characters with materials already gathered	3 court writs and 3 crafting writs per account daily	Ingredients have a cost; rewards are silver
Shoplifting light valuables	A character with high Pickpocketing	Shops restock by game date	Detection, fines, reputation loss and confiscation

These are recommendations from the loot rules and map data. Gold per hour has not been measured in live play. Compare the gold you actually bank after travel, repairs and supplies, including the time spent selling.

Methods that do not give unlimited gold

Suggested shortcut	Actual limit
Leave and re-enter a dungeon	Normally preserves its timers. Raised loot piles: Elona and alternatives, but a repeatable live exit/re-entry loop remains unverified
Farm Elite dungeons because they always pay more	They give +20% drop chance and rarity quality, but take 40 minutes to refresh and have tougher enemies
Level up, then collect the same treasure piles	Online pile gold is not multiplied by character level; searchable objects and events have separate rules
Replay paid Arena bouts	Their purses are not paid again after a loss; ladder progress is useful one-time income
Repair or craft high-quality gear for NPC shops	Paid repairs and craft quality do not create the expected resale premium
Take bank loans repeatedly	Loans must be repaid with interest; default blocks banking services

For a new character, start with a manageable Regular dungeon, a short route to a buyer, and a bank deposit after each batch. Add a cart when carrying capacity becomes the bottleneck. For an established character, compare a Recall loot run with a group Breach, and keep whichever leaves more gold after the same amount of time.
