BEHOLD, the unintended loot-farms you used to harvest loads of ill-gotten in-game cash. Can you think of any other examples? Shout in the comments if so, and enjoy!
Outside Xtra hey a little unrelated but I saw that you guys are going to at EGX. But was just wondering what you would be doing? I look forward to trying to meet up with u guys
G0t cash?
Outside Xtra other exploits. I got 2 words for you then to help in Skyrim. Iron Daggers.
*Outside Xtra* - Every Hero of Albion I've ever played has saved the world through a total Real Estate Monopoly...
Even the first one, which was substantially harder to accomplish.
*Darth Fenrir489* - The Iron dagger exploit was patched. It's much more profitable to use the potion resto-loop, and then craft ludicrously expensive enchanted gold rings.
How to get rich quick: the Todd Howard edition
Step 1: Release Skyrim
Step 2: Repeat
Well, smart guy, ain't he. Just like he said "If you want me to stop releasing Skyrim, stop buying it. "
And remember, it just works.
Every rerelease had 16 times the detail.
Why rag on Skyrim? There's been 3 rereleases of it, but there were about a dozen versions of RE4.
@@TrentR42 You are the first ever person to say this and i fully agree. Also how many other games would we play again if they released it? i know quite i few off the top of my head. SW Battlefront 2 (non loot box one), The getaway 1 and 2, Mass effect 2, Oblivion, Fable 1 and 2, SW KOTOR 1 and 2. Far cry 3, any metal gear game (Metal gear!?!?!?!?! in snakes voice as he is repeating the last words the other person just said). But im sure there loads i would get if i saw a trailer for it
If you maxed out your 'barter' skill in the original Fallout, you could sell the same thing back to a vendor for more than you bought it. You could go to HubTown, buy all the super-expensive skill-increase books in the town's library, sell them back to the vendor, rinse-repeat a few times to clean them out, read the books, and sleep for a day while they restocked with cash and books. It would take an in-game month or so, but you'd walk away with several maxed-out skills and tens of thousands of caps.
I always knew reading would pay off, but rarely did it work out so _literally._
.
.

...I'll see myself out.
Gambling was even more cheesy. With a lowish gambling level (around 40 or so, has been a long time since I've played it) and a decent enough starting pool, you can just go to a dealer at a casino, put a weight on a key or two (I used to use a stack of small coins, meta), walk away for 15 - 30 mins, and come back to all the caps you'll need.
tba113 that was one of the funniest double puns I've ever read. Well played.
Literally 😂
Don't forget the Nuka-Cola truck, and if your luck is 10 you get 10,746 bottle caps. It was my first encounter during my current play through and I thought I broke the game somehow.
@@captainmurphy4948 yeah I used blutak and an ice lolly stick with a book on it, press down 1 and 4 at the casino in the hub and wait.
9:15
Each time you beat Riku , either swordfighting him or racing him , you'll gain a point and Sora will say "Now the score's # to #!" but if he loses then Riku will gain a point and Sora will say "Aw man , now the score's # to #" , and if you level up a lot on the island then Sora will get all depressed when Riku wins saying "Aw man , now the score's 100 to 1"
Well of course Sora would be upset about 100 to 1, there goes his unbroken winning streak
The score would also cap at 100, which implies that Sora doesn't know how to count past that number.
I'm not sure "Do this thing five thousand times" counts as getting rich "quick"
It counts as "Get the money before having to face a treat"
Compared to spending days or weeks or months saving up gold, I'd say it's quick with some exploits
It's technically "get rich quicker than you would playing the game normally"
As the coder who implemented that Fable 2 feature there was code in there which would remove money for travelling back in time. It was commented out for a few reasons:
1) It’s a single player game, this exploit had no effect on anyone else
2) You needed to be disconnected from the internet to adjust the 360’s system clock, so if you were going to those lengths for an exploit have it.
3) When the 360’s power lead was disconnected the clock would reset to 2005. So if you didn’t connect to the internet or set the clock before loading your save then you’d lose at least 3 years worth of money which would be worse than allowing you to time travel for cash.
Add to all of those to the fact we knew you were moving in time (the save knew when it last paid & what time it was currently and worked out how many 15 minute periods had passed & then paid you), but we didn’t know if you were doing it deliberately - if you’d gone back in time because you’d reconnected to the internet after time travelling, or the system clock reset after losing power, or even if you’d changed time zones. Because we couldn’t determine intentionality and the only game affected was your own we left it.
That’s all a very long way of saying, yeah we knew it was exploitable from the start. But hopefully the thought process behind why we left it that way gives a bit of insight into things.
Nice to hear about an exploit from a professional - especially in a non-hostile light. What other games have you worked on?
Mitchell Bonds glad you found it interesting. I’ve worked on Black & White 2, Fable 2, 3, and Heroes, a bunch of indie stuff (best know/most successful is MMA Manager), and these days I work on the Motorsport Manager games.
@@thebag1981 A friend of mine is a big fan of the Black & White games. He's quadriplegic, so most games are a bit too active for him given his limited arm mobility, but he does like his strategy and RPGs. Thanks for your work on something that made him happy!
btw is there any chance that Fable 2 will be out on pc at some point? from what i've heard it's the best in the series and i would love to play it
Is this the same in Fable 3?
Oblivion and Skyrim - Alchemy.
Don't mind me while I pick your farm of crops, turn them into _expensive_ potions and then sell them to your neighbor.
Wheat and berries are worth a pittance. Greater potion of health and stamina? Worth its weight in gold to every warrior, worker, or adventurer in Tamriel.
Noxious fungus and poisonous flowers? Who'd even want those? Except many people would pay a fortune for the toxic concoctions made out of them, especially if they have problematic in-laws that need to suffer a sudden and mysterious illness or death.
What's a bale of wheat and a wheel of cheese compared to potions that can seal your gaping chest wounds or revitalize you for even more work at the mill?
Don't even get me started on combining basically the same ingredients into a potion. Wheel of cheese, sliced cheese, and a chunk of cheese? Makes for a pretty good fondue, OR a pretty potent stamina potion.
Ah man, my favorite was definitely Skyrim's, as it also functioned with a practical purpose:
turning you into an actual god.
Oblivion, dup glitch.
Now that it's on my mind, Oblivion's alchemy was fun for its own reasons: the system of how possession of items worked is kind of _fucked._ You can loot someone's entire store of anything that can be brewed into a potion, and regardless of if the items used to make the potion were stolen, the potion is credited as _yours._ I took advantage of this by looting the entire Gilded Carafe of all of its alchemical ingredients, then selling it back to the store's owner for a huge profit. "Hey, these potions taste familiar." (Incidentally, my Alchemy ended up the very first skill I reached Master rank with, so that outright doubled potential revenue.)
Same game, different craft, enchanting. Collect all the daggers you can and put any weapon enchant though absorb health and turn undead yield the most gold. Or craft a bunch of iron daggers and get a trifecta of leveling along with the money.
When my brother and I were younger, we found out that a certain figure in Skylanders that gives you a hidden treasure chest to find in the home area could be found and refound over and over as long as you took the figure off and put it back on again after you found the chest.
Good times.
Which Skylander and which game?
What about the original Fable, were you would buy all the items in a shop and sell them back over and over
The good money exploit didn't happen till the PC release. Let me just buy all your apples and sell you the same amount of whatever expensive thing I have.
Same exploit exists in Elite 2: Frontier.
Oh that felt so good. Swimming in cash while constantly using the magic shield spell so my combat multiplier never went down. I'd save all the Ages potions I found until after the Arena. Downing them after all the fights and getting a combat multiplier over 100+ pretty much makes you invincible.
Simon Toland same with Morrowind. probably the most (only) fun i’ve ever had managing my inventory in a game, manipulating shopkeepers to buy and then return the Dark Brotherhood clothing i earned every other time i took a nap and woke up to a pisspoor assassin failing to kill me
Sora's not that weird. I mean, who _hasn't_ extorted money and potions from their best friends? It's how Jane pays for all those sweet tomes!
I was confused at first, then I noticed it was Riku and not Rikku…. I liked Rikku better than Riku.
I thought Jane makes her money by beating me up for my Lunch money.
Slew One - nah she just doesn't like you 😸
Kitty Meow. I'm now crying in the inside. ..... ANd the outside......
Arguably in the first game, Riku's a dick I would feel bad if he wasn't such an ass all the time.
Nintendo's practice of re releasing pokemon games is the quickest way to get rich
Bethesda does the same with Skyrim
They got so good at it that they started releasing the third and definitive game in the gen as 2 games and got away with it.
Fuck Ultra Sun/Moon.
Nah, is faster just made a football(Fifa) game every year... or a assassin game... or a CoD game...
Damn, there's a lot of people getting rich...
Okay the thing people need to understand, business is put in place to make money, in order to make it you need your buyers to be happy. If your buyers actually want more of the same, give them it. (Assassins creed, EA sports games, Pokemon, and other games)
Why would anyone pass up an opportunity to make money if it’s what the buyers want, do you have any idea how many people would be crying if Pokemon was stopped? At least they try to change it up and make other games under Pokemon unlike most companies that make the same game over and over.
Also Pokemon wasn’t a get rich quick scheme, they were already rich.

Nathan Williamson thanx for correcting me i have changed it
In Morrowind, Creeper is the best. He's meant to be a goofy creature with lots of money, but because he's not a human NPC, he has no disposition. This means he buys all items at full value.
Creeper is in Caldera with 5000 gold, which is solid and easily reachable. But if you adventure to the south, your can find the infamous Mudcrab Merchant with his 10,000 gold.
Not only full value. The barter system in Morrowind was exploitable to. You could just keep spamming the offer button even if they said no and there was some small percentage chance they'd say yes. The chance decreases each time because saying no decreases disposition. But creeper doesn't have a disposition like you said.
Guys, you realize you POLISHED THE PIRATE'S WOOD FOR HOURS right?
JamesCPotter13 lol
Yeah but at least you are spending hours and not weeks
True
🤔
That guy might want to go see a physician afterwards as that's got to come with some side effects.
"You could earn up to...up to...a lot" Ah, I see Ellen and I follow the same school of mathematical thought.

In Harvest Moon Back to Nature there's a legit way to gain a lot of cash:
1. Survive until autumn
2. Make sure you have the large rucksack and the basket
3. Plant A LOT OF SWEET POTATOES
4. Get Rich $$$$$
Harvest Moom: Tale of Two Towns, this, but Summer, and P I N E A P P L E S
that's a thing throughout the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons series. and in a lot of games inspired by it, like Stardew Valley, although SV also gives you a bump in spring with strawberries.
funny thing, if anyone remembers the old trick in Friends of Mineral Town: play through the horse race day, make a note of which horses won, reload, and then place your bets accordingly. it still works in the remake with the Story of Seasons title instead of Harvest Moon. in fact, it works *better*, because the jewelry you can buy with the tokens now stacks. you aren't limited by inventory space anymore, and can easily grab half a million or more worth of shinies.
I think you might've missed Undertale's infinite 'G' gimmick.
By using the dog residue, it fills your inventory with the stuff. You can then sell all but one at the tem shop, getting 15g for each one. You can do this infinitely by repeating the process.
Just need to point that out.
Tem payed for own cool leg and just for the heck of it full price temmie armor.
I'm actually currently farming the tem shop and boy is it annoying, but I'm doing a genocide run so I'm pretty sure I'll need that armor, still incredible gimmick especially how you can rip them off.
@@ayf449 armour doesn't help with sans and you can't get temmie armour on a genocide route
@@RandomPerson-xf9yn wait how come I can't? Does that mean if I help at the tem shop and bought the armor it doesn't count as a genocide run?
I remember doing that it was to get lots of instant noodles for sans but I turned out that my game was broken so I can’t complete a genocide route so time and noodles wasted 😔
The original Fable: Buy-Sell-Buy
The economy was tied to supply and demand. Meaning that anything the merchant had a lot of was cheap, and things that they didn't have were expensive. So say that they have a lot of - and therefore cheap - apples, you could buy ALL the apples - so that they had none, making them "rare" and therefore expensive - and then sell them all back at once and make a truly ridiculous profit. It was great :D
In Fable 3 they named a shop after this method "Buy 'n Sell 'n Buy" XD
Then you walk around with a rediculous amount of one "money earning item".
Oh you have 3 fish? I'll take those! Oh now you need more fish? How about 463 of them at a reasonably higher price? Over stocked on fish huh? I'll take them back for half the cost...
I like buy-sell-buy emeralds in oakvale :p
th0r f41azz you my friend know the true meaning of playing Fable. This was my favorite exploit.
Y'all crazy. Revive potions were both like the third most lucrative items (After diamonds and wedding rings), and has the side effect of making death 100% meaningless for the rest of the game
later in the game i switched to gems and potions. sell and buy everything a few times and you have enough money for the rest of the game, and you get a lot of skill points.
DAMMIT ELLEN WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO THINK ABOUT THE EVENT
Hello, good evening, and remain indoors!
It's alright, just remember to not think about it.... wait a minute
Just remember it's NOT Skynet's birthday... "not".
Luke's fear of caves make me think that it involves bears, lots of bears...
DO NOT THINK ABOUT THE EVENT! THE EVENT IS IN THE PAST! IT CAN'T HURT US ANYMORE!
There’s an exploit in Stardew Valley, the farming simulator game, that lets you become a millionaire in your first day in town. The game had specific codes for every item. But, if you name your character a code for an expensive item, and an NPC says your name, that item is added to your inventory. For example, naming yourself [74] , which is the code for prismatic shards (really valuable rock), would give you a prismatic shard. Add this to the fact that you can carry 999 of these in only one inventory slot, and a certain NPC that will say your name over and over, and it only comes down to how fast you can press the talk button. This makes you go from having 100 gold at the start of the game to as much as you want. However, I don’t suggest doing this, as it takes away from the whole point of the game from going rags to riches. It also takes away a lot of the satisfaction you get from acquiring a significant sum the legitimate way the game intends. But at the same time, it’s nice to have a save where you’re a millionaire just for laughs, or to test things you don’t want to waste money on in your main save. All this being said it’s your game and you can do whatever you want.
If you read all of this, I hope you have a great day :)
So prismatic rocks are the most valuable items to sell? I haven't played the game but I might look into it
@@BenMarcWilliams Probably has something to do with the way the game was designed to spawn quest rewards. At least that's my guess.
The cheat doesn't work anymore due to the latest update:/
hot milk in Rune Factory frontier.
1: time doesn't pass inside
2: they sell milk
3: they have a basic stove
4: hot milk sells for more than buying milk.
I used that exploit sooo much
Same in Tides of Destiny
Oblivion had 3 glitches/exploits for gold, and I loved it. My favorite one out of the three involved finding the Orc merchant outside of Kvatch. You couldn’t unequip weapons while on a horse, so you’d ride up to the merchant and sell your sword. The game wouldn’t let you but you’d still get the gold.
Or the man in the imperial city, you could bribe him with gold the paralyze him, steal his gold, but it wouldn't leave his inventory, I became so rich because of that haha
Archery Duplication.
@@Getsugaru full disclosure, I never bought a single arrow
Anyone else use the scroll duplication glitch? Good times
@@unidentifiedphysican7333 Why buy arrows when you can reverse-pickpocket an NPC to generate them for free?
The main coin exploit I use is in Animal Crossing New Leaf - if someone visits your town, drops money on the floor and then the online session is interrupted - a clone of the money remains in the town whilst the original sum is returned to the person's bank account. I've fully paid off Tom Nook this way.
Clap and a half to that
Peepachu would be proud ;)
Sounds like it would be illegal, but I’m sure it’s not the first money he’s laundered.

or just keep time traveling for beetles/sharks or fossils daily, making a pretty penny already doing that XD
"Up to a lot"
Ethers cost 400.
Man I can't wait to equip my party with ethers.
...Actually... I kind of wish I had ethers...
I used to just buy and sell items in Fable 1!
When there's a lot of an item in the game, the supply/demand coding made the item cheaper than usual. Buy all of that one item and the resale value goes up above what you bought it for. Repeat the buy/sell routine for a bit and you've got yourself tons of cash for almost no work. I started with the green apples because there would be up to 100 at a time and went from there, buying pies and chocolate boxes and eventually working my way up to rings and jewels.
You can also, when you get enough money, just buy all of the stock you can find of an expensive item, like rubies or diamonds, and target a shop with a profitable resale value. Keep all of the stock of that item at the end of your scheme and it's a quick cash grab any time for all your god-powered wishing well needs.
Not sneaky per se but stud multipliers in the LEGO video games brought happiness to my soul as a child
daafaev15 yea, but that's not really breaking the game
Xayne oh no i know, but more money is always good
daafaev15 that and the sound it makes when you collect especially in large piles was always so dang fun
daafaev15 I'll tell you the same thing I told "starhanie".
In Lego Star Wars the Clone Wars, when I was in the turbo laser shooting down vulture droids with all stud multipliers on simultaneously, at a certain point I stopped caring about getting enough money to buy everything, and just kept making the number larger and larger
.
.
.
. . .I ended up with over ten TRILLION studs.
Intentionally losing to the Team Rocket grunt at Nugget Bridge in Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen.
A dialogue oversight means that if you keep losing, he keeps giving you a Nugget every time you talk to him
Step one: Get bananas
Step two: Sell bananas
Step three: ???
Step four: Profit
TES3: Morrowind. Steal the soul gems worth hundreds of thousands from the Balmora Mages guild, then sell them to the talking mudcrab, or talking scamp in caldera
No one gonna mention the good old 'break everything in sight' method from the LEGO games? Like, I'll destroy the Death Star in a minute guys - I need to ensure the Mos Eisley cantina has no chairs left.
starhanie I did this on the first level of 2, and walked out with over 100k studs every time. Only got worse in free play, lol.
And buy the stud multipliers. But it's a pretty intentional exploit.
starhanie
That basically guarantees a stud collection bonus in every level. Free gold bricks, yo.

That's not an exploit, it's a basic gameplay mechanic.
In Witcher 3, after the Bovine Defense patch, you could still farm some gold in Toussaint. There were these Hanse camps that were full of bandits. So long as you didn't kill the final boss in them you could wail through enemies, gather up and sell their stuff and come back later only to be faced with a fresh batch of loot holding NPCs. Let's just say that a few hundred lowlifes died just so I could completely furnish Corvo Bianco.
When you become higher level in the Witcher, would it be worth to grind that cow defence force monster?
Probably but you would be a high enough level that there are more fun ways to make money even if less efficient
I know this is an old comment but I had to respond because I'm playing The Witcher 3 now. My Geralt is currently level 26, just one level lower than that Chort, and he has over 18,000 crowns. I didn't use an exploit or grind, I made that money just by playing the game properly. The most important thing is to watch which merchants you sell to because some blacksmiths & armorers will pay a lot more for the same weapons & armor than others.
@@MarkDeSade100 Always save, never shave, my friend.
Witcher 3 economy is so well balanced that it's truly unnecessary. The reason other games require ridiculous grinds to buy nice things is to artificially inflate playtime, whereas Witcher 3 already has an incredible amount of content, so balancing the economy for fun was good enough.
Can't believe you didn't mention the skyrim exploit where some khajit stores had their inventory accessible to the player if you just went over to particular rocks. You could resell their items back to them and wait for a few in game hours for the inventory to refill
Excuse me... what now?? You just saved my broke ass xD
In Animal Crossing New Leaf, you could travel to the island at around 7 pm and use knowledge of the in-game spawning rules to farm expensive beetles and sharks. On an average night I made about 400k in bells, but I had some nights where I was patient enough to get much, much more than that. You can do it every single night, too. Turnips? Psh. The new speculation economy is beetles.
Princess Mallow in new leaf thanks I need to use this, I have only 1/2K
You can also switch the date and do this multiple times
Turnip trading with 2 cartridges. I made 25 million bells in just a couple hours
Wild World has a glitch that lets you turn 100 bells into 99,000 bells in seconds, and it is repeatable up to an unlimited number of times. It isn't even that hard to do once you know how to get it right the first time.
Ayyy, I was wondering if someone was going to mention ACNL.
I go to the island all the time, but I mostly focus on the beetles. But you are right, some of the sharks sell for a pretty good price
Mass Effect 1
1) Turn off Auto-Save (but don't forget to save every 5 or 10 minutes in case the game crashes).
2) Go to the Citadel.
3) Save Dr Chloe Michel (when you first get Garrus on your squad) and complete her sidequest.
4) The next time you visit her, sell 20 of the most expensive items in your inventory.
5) Fast travel to the Upper Markets and buy back those items from the Volus (I've forgotten his name).
6) Repeat until you've got 9,999,999 credits.
7) Fully equip your squad with level X Spectre weapons and Colossus / Predator X armour.
8) Enjoy.
(This has never been patched out by Bioware and still works as of at least July 3rd 2018)
Love this glitch.
Oh damn. I just remembered I was playing on Hardcore and couldn't get very far on Therum. I don't remember exploiting this on my current playthrough.
I usually buy stuff from the Turian quartermaster in Csec HQ, not the Volus.
i will admit to doing this as well
You dont get the X Spectre weapons till the second playthrough if i remember correctly. There's also the dialogue tree on the snow planet that would allow you max out renegade or paragon
moo or both, so you can max out both the barter skills so that everything is super cheap AND you can sell things at insane prices
Maybe it's me but I recall getting so much cash that by the middle of the game, you exceeded max bank.
6:25 This was probably already mentioned somewhere but in the wooded kingdom from the observation deck if you got the nut from the mechanical guy and planted it in the pot at the top the minigame there offered more coins than bowsers kingdom coin exploit. As well in jumping down there was a coin purse guy you could snatch to get even more coins before trying again. The time difference was negligible if you didn't drop off the platforms getting back up. Other than that the absolute best way to earn coins in Odyssey was Luigi's Balloon Kingdom game just choose long times and short distances and you've got it made. Made max coins in about 30-40 mins.
That "2025" thing is quite odd & suspicious.... 🤔

@@simoneidson21 sorry
Hol up
I can think of 2 exploits I used in Dragon Age Origins. One was when you went to a merchant and pressed Sell and Sell All of a stack of one thing at the same time, it would process as though you sold the thing twice. This was especially lucrative if you had the DLC that started you with a suit of armor with 7 gold pieces. You can then buy the thing you sold back from the merchant for the same amount of gold as long as you don’t back out of the trading screen and do it over and over. Another exploit that was for experience rather than money, was you could talk to Duncan after collecting enough vials of Darkspawn blood but before finding Morigan. You get the XP for the mission, but Duncan sends you back out into Kocari to find the treaties. You can keep turning around and talking to Duncan over and over to restart the dialogue and get the XP until you’re max level.
I almost always use these exploits.
Like in Dragon Age II and you found an item a citizen lost and constantly pressed talk before they stopped talking in order to keep getting all the exp and coin...or at least a friend told me about that..
Dragon age 3 also has a similar one, it duplicates any non-plant recipe item as well (dragon tooth is best, Great Bear Claw to start with)
There's an exploit in Dragon Age Origins where you can sell a item worth twice its normal sale value, allowing you buy it back with a profit.
You can then use your ill gotten lucre it to buy a ton of elfroot in the Dalish camp, to give back to the Dalish emissary on your camp, to reach max level before reaching even halfway through the story.
holy shit thanks
There's also a exploit in the town you meet Leliana where you can craft a bunch of simple traps for money and XP.
also an exploit for xbox where you put an expensive item in the trash and press two buttons simultaneously. look it up, it works.
Another exploit, though not for making money so much as saving it, was to save before you buy a specialisation tome. Read it, then reload the save. Congratulations, you can now become a Templar, and you didn't have to spend 20 silver or convince Alistair to break his vow to keep their secrets... well, secret.
Best part about the race against Riku in Kingdom Hearts... You don't HAVE to do the platforming. You can just run along the ground, get to the target, and run back without doing any platform jumping at all. Since Riku's doing all the jumps, he moves about half as fast as you can, so it's next to impossible to lose (unless you saunter).
Persona 5. Pulinpa (confuse) on mementos request bosses, and have invigorate 3 for free pulinpa every turn.
Depending on luck stat, earn between 10k and 500k per trigger
In Oblivion, there’s this one guy in the Imperial City whom if you killed and tried looting his gold, it wouldn’t leave his inventory space but you still get the amount.
Cue me spamming A to obtain and infinite amount of gold for about 30 minutes
Same with Morrowind. There was a khajiit with moon sugar in her stomach. If you kill her, that moon sugar doesn't disappear. The only challenge was finding a buyer, since you couldn't sell moon sugar or skooma to just anyone in Morrowind, like you could in later games, but still, infinite source of gold.
Another Oblivion exploit is the dupe glitch but that requires a lot more work xD
dude get two or more of the same scroll double click on it and then whetever item you drop will multiply by the amount of scrolls you have. You can litrally multiply the scrolls first till you have over a hundred and then for example click drop your best weapon and hundreds of that weapons will be on the floor.
Nah Best oblivion money trick was be a vampire so the quest in bravil I think and instead of turning you into a vamp the guy gives you gold...again and again.
There is also a glitch in Dawnstar. If you sell anything to the Khajit outside the city, a tiny prompt across the town would let you access their inventory. Take your loot/gold back, wait 48 in game hours, repeat. Far more efficient than the skeleton glitch.
I thought you'd have included the Fable 1 exploit which was:
1) Buy all of an item from a vendor
2) Sell all of that item to a vendor
3) ???
4) Profit.
In reality it was the item becoming "rare" or "in short supply" when you bought it all, thus increasing the sale value. But once you've dumped your 99 apples, potions or crunchy chickens all at once, the market has been flooded and they're literally worthless. So the vendor sells them for dirt cheap. But it's only once you buy all of them does the market realise just how incredible of value they really were. I guess it's like stocks. But probably not actually how stocks work.
MozilloGames I did that with diamonds for the most effective turn around
I did it with emeralds and chocolates for about 30min and made 2 mil

Personally, my first coin farming method was Meowth's Pay Day. Advance through the game and make money.
I am not sure but what about Chris Houlihan's room in Legend of Zelda: LttP?
Coincidentally, I'm watching this while playing dark souls and doing the soul farming trick near the entrance at the painted world
"Coin-Tardis"; you guys are so British I love it!
No mention of the Skinning exploit in _World of Warcraft?_ There was a group of passive enemies called Clefthoofs in an area called Nagrand, they were pretty easy to kill and could each be skinned for leather. The thing was, their spawning code was written in such a way that there always _HAD_ to be at least 2 Clefthoofs in that area at any given time. Once all the Clefthoofs were dead, two more instantly spawned, and when those died, another two spawned. I remember farming them once (I got from level 10 to level 600 in about twenty minutes) and there were just piles of dead Clefthoofs everywhere. The game was lagging because of all the dead Clefthoofs.
Don’t you mean level 60?
+Sam J No? I had started a new Demon Hunter, and since they wear leather I decided to make him a Leatherworker, and my Skinning was at level 10 since I had just trained in it. Every single Clefthoof granted +1 to the Skinning skill since they updated how professions level, and they died in one hit. It took literally around twenty minutes to grind 590 levels into my Skinning skill.
Ah! I thought you meant character level and was confused
World of Warcraft, the night Cataclysm was released.
Everyone else was racing to level up their characters, and the underwater starting zone was constantly full with players.
Meanwhile, on the sea bottom, my rogue who had just took up skinning, quietly maxed out his skinning on the carnage.
Not really an exploit, as two days later the area was more or less deserted. And I could start levelling my characters and play the new expansion.
@@samj4820 I've played maybe 6 hours total of wow and I knew what he meant....
Golden Sun for the GBA had a notoriously predictable random number generator when it came to loot. By having certain characters use certain skills in a specific order, you could force drops of some of the rarest and most expensive items in the game, thus turning around and selling them for crazy gold. I probably spent an entire week doing this once, just so I could transfer over my nigh-infinite money to the sequel, "Golden Sun II: The Lost Age," which I promptly turned into "The Golden Age."
My personal favourite exploit comes from the first installment of Gothic. What I did was to travel to the 420-Brotherhood Swamp Camp, go to their local blacksmith, open the chest near him where one could find around 150 of steel bars. Then, having basic smitting skill, you'd quickly forge 150 swords, keep one for yourself (it was quite good for starters) and exchange remaining ones for any goods you may need. This would get me going for quite a while.
Then in Gothic II there was another exploit I discovered by accident on my second play through, when I decided to follow the path of a Fire Mage and it worked wonders in the "Return to Mining Vale" chapter. That beloved, nostalgic region of our previous adventure was by then orc-infested, frightening place, but not to a clever spellcaster. Stacked with all the mana potions I could buy I cleaned the area of invaders without taking a single hit. All you needed to do is spot an orc in the distance, lock-on target before it aggros (luckily the lock0on range was bigger) then, while still holding lock-on key (Ctrl) I would step backwards until the enemy was no longer visible (outside of rendering distance), while still being targeted. Next thing to do is to rain fire on the foe from a safe distance until it dies and the enemy (or any of his nearby friends) would not aggro due to being outside of drawing distance. With this trick you could easily clean up the area and pack all the loot into your limitless inventory. Thus apart of getting hella rich, you would gain a few levels as well.
It is quite a grind, I admit, but a very lucrative one.
Worth mentioning is also the "duplication glitch" in TES: Oblivion. Easy to pull of trick that could turn a player into watermelon waterfall in no time.
Considering you put race rikku 99 times, you have a generous idea of what quick is.
you want a coin farm? viva pinata, buy chili seeds plant them in tight patches of 3 by 3 or as tight as you can, then buy some furdalizer. i think you know what to do next :3 also, you could make a flower garden to attract Taffflies, place a torch and tell them to land on it, pour water on the now burning pinata with your watering can and boom, 2100 choco coins. i used both of these.
Are we just gonna slide past those odd jobs in kingdom hearts 2. I would spend hours just doing them over and over to collect as much munny as I couls
Fallout 4. Duplicating items was relatively easy with Dogmeat. Used it mostly for the SPECIAL book for stats. When they patched it out by changing the timing of Dogmeat's animation, it was a bit of setback, but it didn't take long for people to find that a short conveyor belt with two hoppers made a suitable duplicating machine. Still works, as far as I can tell.
Theres a spot in borderlands the pre sequel that is a joke at the loot cave in destiny. In the pre sequel theres a bot that needs to destroy 13 enemies but if you keep killing them and dont let her kill any (which she doesn't anyway bc she sucks) you can do it and farm items and money as much as you want.
What spot? I'm genuinely curious.
It's where you build felicity and put the turrets on her
Destiny how??? Lots of games have loot caves/spots lol
@@revfunk8823 gearbox said it was a poke at destiny
The FIRST game I thought about immediately was Fable I. In Fable I and II you can buy low and sell high to get massive money without cheating.
Anyone play The Sims 3? If so, have your Sim max out the martial arts skill, complete the Timber Terminator challenge (also recommended to complete the Bodybuilder challenge for the Athletic skill so your Sim isn't constantly getting fatigued), which will reward them with the ability to sometimes find valuable gems while breaking space rock blocks. That, plus the gem cutting machine (because cutting gems makes them more valuable) will give you lots of cash in no time, assuming you wanna make money in ways that don't involve opening up the cheat console and entering "motherlode" a bunch of times.
(BTW if you happen to find Tiberium, choose the spire cut, so it can still grow, and leave it out for a couple days. The large version is worth an insane amount of money.
In Fallout New Vegas I always created a high luck character so I could clean out every casino on the Strip.
Mine was a bit more complex, but in essence, do Dead Money making sure you got max from the casino and the Weapon Repair Kit template. At 20 chips per kit you can get an unlimited supply with the over 1,000 chips every 3 days. Then annoy the Legion or NCR until they send assasins after you, making sure you can take them, of course. They are always well equipped with high end guns that you take and sell, after repairing to max value with the kits. On one save, I have over 1,000,000 caps and nearly 3 mil in unsold goods.
I liked exploiting the AI when playing Caravan to take every available player's money before getting to the strip (and for buying the INT implant at as low a level as possible). Could also buy everything they have to up their total amount of caps and then win it all back, then sell the loot elsewhere.
Until you got booted out of all of them :/
I only needed 6 Luck to make it work. Buy the Lucky Underwear from Nick & Ralph’s, and wear it at the casino (That’s now 7 Luck), which is just enough to start constant winnings. Once you get the money, get the operation for +1 Luck, and then you’re in business!
Welcome to the British Emergency Broadcasting System. REMAIN INDOORS. And no one mention The Event.
Microsoft: sets final date to 2025
Everyone going through 2020: _”oh no”_
Fable had it crazier than the landlord stuff. You could explain the gem economy (and sell vs rebuy system) in a pretty broken way.
i really didnt know how to do that mario odyssey beanstalk thing at first but i learned how to do it really quickly.
Skyrim, do one quest for someone then all of a sudden you're their best friend and you can then sack their house and all their possessions. Also putting bowls on peoples' heads then nicking all their wares.
they patched out the ability to place buckets on folks heads I'm afraid... I was trying for a good 15 minutes before deciding to actually find out if it was even still possible
The cotton robe trick in Final Fantasy IX is my personal favorite. Buy items and synth them, then sell the results for a tidy profit as early as disc one. Rinse and repeat.
0:26 If that's a Casio Calculator Watch, I have one and I love it.
What about "endzone" in Ratchet Deadlock?
I remember using the shock mod on the dual vipers and the minions wouldn't be able to take a step before they died. And Everytime the wave got too small more would spawn... Only to get hit with the chain lighting taking their 1hp health bar down to zero instantly and causing more to spawn.
All the while my ps2 is having a heart attack due to constant stream of bolts that fall out the ring and get magnitised to Ratchet.
Sort of surprised you didn’t include the invisible chest in dawnstar...
skyrim as in the game they say “ want to help just grab an axe an start chopping “ and you get like 3 times the amount you would get if you sold it to a mearchant instead of giving it to the lumberjack and if you’re to lazy get your slav- ahem i mean * buddy * to do it for you
Alchemy, speech, and the greenhouse.
I know I'm super late to the party, and this is a lesser-known game, but there is a money farming technique in Terraria that is just hilariously tailored to an obscene cashflow. It involves crafting or obtaining, and subsequently equipping and using, 12 different objects, potions, accessories, and pieces of armor, and then taking advantage of subsurface game mechanics to manufacture a specific biome in a different, also specific biome. The end result is a supremely satisfying income.
You forgot literally all of the Skyrim ones all of them
Grey South Yeah...."forgot"

Buying iron ore, transmuting it into gold, making gold necklaces and enchanting them with The Black Star.
Reminds me of actually a really fun exploit from Skyrim. There was this one location high up in the mountains that wasn't marked on your map. It was difficult to get to but if you could get to it there was this skeleton with a book on him worth 50 gold. For some reason every time you would loot this skeleton the book would automatically respawn on him every time you went to loot him again. So you can loot this guy hundreds or thousands of times, get massively overencumbered, and then just go to towns all over Skyrim and sell off the books for massive profit. This became stupid easy in the dawnguard DLC with arvak.
Iron dagger enchanted with banish from a petty soul stone had a sell value of 3k
Thing about Kingdom Hearts Riku Farming is, not only can you farm potions, but if you fight and beat him enough, you can absolutely become maximum level without having to even fight 1 Heartless. That's worth all the money on earth.
BlossomOfThorns I got to level 20 just farming potions.
I just learned of someone who spent 200 hours Tech-ing Tidus to hit level 100. Crazy shit.
Final Fantasy 7: W-item megalixer glitch
to be fair with the W-item glitch you can get as many as you want of pretty much any item so money ends being kinda pointless.
Harvest Moon DS isn't a very well-known or popular game, but it did give you almost as much gold as you could carry if you sent harvest sprites to catch fish in the ocean during winter!
Of course that was never intended by the creators, but a lot of players still exploited it, and it was fun.
-Promising an intriguing new sequel to a long-running franchise with all new characters and adventures, but enough callbacks that the Andromeda galaxy still seems familiar
-Tying the fastest, most effective leveling-up mechanic in a multiplayer game to real-money loot boxes that only give you a probability of getting something useful
-Releasing brand-new, full-price sports games that are little more than annual roster updates
-Lock off large sectors of an open-world game behind DLC-goes-here paywalls, available for purchase on day one
-Pretty much any other EA business practice
"-Tying the fastest, most effective leveling-up mechanic in a multiplayer game to real-money loot boxes that only give you a probability of getting something useful"
Arc does a version of this on crack. Real-money loot boxes in Neverwinter with a marginal probability of useful items are about 10% of drops, but keys for them are about $1.00 each. And the drop rate of items is roughly every other kill, and indiscriminate regarding whether it's trash mobs or even enemies near your level. I have about 250 boxes that will never be opened, and you can gain around 20/hour.
No mention of the Saints Row 4 money farming tactic? If you have the bling bling dlc, you can use midus touch aura power to make pedestrians golden and then kill them (preferably the disintegrator or energy sword) and at the cost of killing innocents, you make an easy 1K per a person.
With the release of Final Fantasy 8 Remastered I feel like it should be mentioned the infinite gil trick. Buy a bunch of tents and use the GF ability to turn them into Mega-Potions for a small profit initially. Once you get access to both Esthar and Tonberry this can be turned into a 325k per round profit. The need for money may not be especially huge, but this exploit is there nonetheless.
Final Fantasy X-2 with O'aka and paying off his debts, then buying and reselling Hi-Potions and such.
Legaia 2: Duel Saga had an exploit in which you trade for items then fly to a different shop for a big profit, then keep repeating.
In Final Fantasy 12 there is a chain system where defeating the same type of enemy repeatedly nets better & better rewards + buffs & healing. One of the highest paying loot drops comes from a fairly easy enemy to beat called Mirrorknights that cluster together in the Feywood. With Zodiac Age's auto-save you don't even need to worry about losing your chain when you touch the crystal.
There's loads of other ways to get all the gil but this one's my favorite. Nothing is quite as relaxing or hilarious as stabbing a bunch of birds that're immune to spells repeatedly with a sword. That and their reflect-granting armor is kinda handy in a few spots & you'll definitely be swimming in more than enough sets in no time.
If only this could be applied to my bank account 😔
😔
😔

Lmao some people call it grinding I call it making meth.
I'd like reverse Shark Cards in GTA Online, gather up all the collectibles, grind some races and repo mission, ????, profit! I hear you used to be able to sell gold for WoW for a tidy real world sum, but bots and moderators seem to have made that venture less profittable.
What about taking all the gold from the Vault in Fallout New Vegas: Dead Money and sneaking past Father Elijah. You get all of the riches, while Father Elijah gets stuck in an empty vault.
Apparently Jade did that and looted golden rush too
You could also set your luck to 10 and rob all the casinos in blackjack, including the sierra madre and the atomic wrangler
Explodingpie123 did that too.luck and sneak is all you need in fallout
..and that's how i got banned from all of them :(
Apparently Jade except the Sierra Madre gold was a one-off...
To everyone at Outside Xbox and Outside Xtra:
I am currently super sick and these videos make me feel better. Thank you tons!
in spore you can dupe spice (which can be sold for lots of cash if you know where to sell it) by going on a planet you colonised, dropping the spice on the ground, tractor beaming it up and while it's mid air go into your communications and "collect" the spice on the planet. this normally removes the spice as an object and places it in your inventory, but since it's not on the ground the game gets confused and you can double your spice stores
I loved running through the crowds of citizens in assassins creed 2 and stealing all their money.
Luke T I loved throwing money on the ground watching them pick it up and then picking their pockets
IAMGILBRO haha, brings back good memories!
Fallout New Vegas
1) Go to the gun runners, kill everyone and loot em
2) Sell the combat armor and hunting rifles back to the vendor out in front
4) Wait 3 days
5) Do it again
An easy 6,000 caps each time
Have to point out that the original Kingdom Hearts also had the most abusive early game xp farm I've ever seen in a game. If you're patient enough, you can use the Destiny Island fight with Riku as an xp generator by simply parry his attacks for a small amount of xp... but you can do so pretty much infidelity in even the same fight.
In fallout 4 at the workbench, you can build any type of store/merchant stand and do the button trick where you slide your thumb over the A and B buttons (x and o for Playstation) and not only sell the stand for caps but receive of the materials back since it gliches it to give u the selling option and the dismantle option. Bought anything I ever wanted in FO4 and had more caps then I could ever spend. There was also some way involving this that I could get unlimited resources such as iron, wood, ect. Using this method but it's been so long I forgot what it was exactly
Naming your character with items ID in stardew valley and talking to Gus non stop, how about that?
....Motherload. thats all i need to say.

Best way to get funds in Sims.

That's a console command, they were only covering exploits.
Yes I just hope a Sim don't ask me how I moved from the poor class too the Millionaire's Club over night
In Dragon Age Inquisition once you get to Skyhold, you can take your most expensive item, put it in the storage chest in the undercroft, and continuously opening the chest then pressing A&B at the same time which would add a duplicate of the item in your inventory without removing it from the chest. Just repeat then sell all your replicas and you can use the black emporium to buy all the crafting materials and legendary schematics you want
Two that were really broken FFXII were the Jelly farming in Henne Mines for gold (but mainly xp) and farming the undead mobs on Zeromus' boss room on stillshrine of Mirian after you killed him. They were pretty weak and as long as you kept walking around they would spawn MANY times, then you needed to zone two times and then come back and they would spawn all over again, more so if your healer kept one-shotting them with curaga.
I didn't know Geralt was such a cow-ard.... Better moo-ve on.
木星からの脱出 boo
He needs to hoof it to escape.
Leave
They didn't want any bull from Blizzard about hidden cow leveling, so they chickened out like Zelda and put in the BDI.
木星からの脱出 Booooo.
In the 2nd through 4th expansions of World of Warcraft, you could take a level 10-20 character to mine Copper ore and sell it for exorbitant prices because most high-level players were too lazy to go get it and it was required for professions. I was the richest noob in town.
But seeing as high-level characters were willing to pay that much, it means that whatever way they earned money was better.
You also forgot to mention that even if you somehow miraculously manage to kill the cow fiend at a low level, it respawns instantly
I wish I knew that Riku thing before leaving Destiny Islands! D:
Don’t forget Treacherous Tower from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds! Sure, it was 300 rupees to get in and there was a lot of enemies to defeat, but as a reward you got about 3500 rupees (about 1/3 the amount you can carry) and a bunch of upgrades for already useful items.
in Pokémon platinum you can re battle 2 old trainers on the route below hearthome city that if you use an amulet coin can max out your money within like 10 battles
Love this channel
Transmutation spell in Skyrim. You mine the iron, transmute the ore to gold, and craft fine and expensive jewelry. And the iron mines respawn!
