Nameless Island
1990 Gold

These enemies offer some of the best gold drops relative to where you are in the story. They hit harder than your usual mobs, but the payout scales nicely with your progress, making them super worth hunting down.

Do the Tombola Ticket Gold Farming Trick

Tombola Ultimate Reward

You earn Tombola Tickets by buying and selling items and, in turn, you can earn extra gold by collecting Tombola tickets and using them at a Tombola stall.

Buy and resell items like herbs to stock up tickets, then draw for prizes that can be sold for big payouts. Rinse and repeat for more gold!

Get the Loyalty Card in Oasis Tombola

Loyalty Card

The Loyalty Card is the ultimate prize in the Oasis Tombola Stall and winning the it gives you a permanent discount at all shops. It’s one of the best long-term ways to conserve gold throughout your playthrough.

Tombola Locations and How to Play

Use Equipment That Increases Gold Drop

Equipment Effects and Where to Get
Arriviste's Vest Gain more gold in battle
Pre-Order Bonus
Gold Ring Get gold while walking
Mersea Tombola Reward
Golden Bamboo Lance Occassionally earn post-battle cash
Dirkandor Tombola Reward

Certain pieces of equipment boost the amount of gold you earn after battle. Equip them when farming to gradually build up your money more efficiently.

Utilize the Dig Field Spell

Dig Spell

The Dig spell lets you dig anywhere for a chance to uncover gold or items, sometimes giving you up to half your current gold. You can only dig 5 times per location, though, so Zoom around to new areas once you’ve hit the limit to keep the income flowing.

All Field Spells and Abilities

All Dig Spell Results

  • 1 Gold
  • 2 Gold
  • Half your current Gold
  • Monster drops
  • Nothing

When using the Dig spell, you can get small amounts of gold, monster drops, or sometimes up to half your current gold. Keep in mind, the chance to get half your gold is very low.

The higher payout is rare, but repeated digging can still help you steadily earn.

Get Gold From Treasure Hunting

Gold in Chest

Exploring the world can be profitable so check treasure chests, pots, barrels, and cabinets you come across. Many contain gold or items you can sell, making it an easy way to boost your funds while adventuring.

You can also get Gold from the Overworld by examining Sparkly Spots you encounter!

All Sparkly Spot Locations

Sell Unnecessary Items

DQ 2 - Party items

If your inventory starts filling with items you don’t need, sell them at the nearest shop. It’s a simple way to build gold without extra grinding.

List of All Items

Save Money via Bank Deposits

Bank

Depositing gold helps you avoid overspending and protects your money if your party gets wiped. You can withdraw it later whenever you need it.

List of Bank Locations

Best Enemies to Farm Gold

Early Game: Bag O' Laughs in the Oasis

Enemy Location Map Image
Bag O Laughs
Recommended Level Gold Earned
Level 15+ 121 G Each

During the Early Game, the monster with the most drop will be the Bag O' Laughs found in the Oasis. They’re fairly manageable to defeat and drop more money than most early-game enemies which gives around 10G each.

You can easily defeat them if you're level 15 or above.

Oasis Location Guide

Mid Game: Goodybags and Orc Chieftains

Enemy Location Map Image
Orc Chieftain
Recommended Level Gold Earned
Level 25+ Goodybag: 404 G Each
Orc Chieftain: 102 G Each

During the mid game at around Level 25+, you can head to the Slewse region in the overworld and farm Goodybags and Orc Chieftains here. These enemies offer solid gold rewards during the mid-game and appear frequently enough to make farming practical.

Slewse Location Guide

Late Game: Gold Digger and Gold Golem

Enemy Location Map Image
Gold Golem
Recommended Level Gold Earned
Level 30+ Gold Golem : 1990 G Each
Gold Digger: 3072 G Each

For late-game gold farming, head to the Nameless Island west of Moonahan. The Gold Digger drops 3,072 gold and the Gold Golem drops 1,990 gold, making them some of the highest gold-dropping enemies in the game.

You can reach the island as soon as you get the ship, but it’s best to tackle them at level 30 or above.

How to Unlock and Get the Ship

Tombola Ticket Gold Farming Trick

Go to A Town With A Tombola Stall

Oasis

Start at a town with a Tombola stall, such as Oasis, where the Loyalty Card can be won. This gives you access to high-value prizes for gold farming.

Purchase 50 Medicinal Herbs and Sell it Back

Herbs

You can farm Tombola Tickets when buying items from the Items Shop. Buy around 50 medicinal herbs from the merchant. These will be used to generate Tombola tickets for repeated lottery draws.

Then, sell the herbs one by one to receive Tombola tickets. Selling is easier than buying individually and lets you quickly stock up the tickets needed for multiple draws.

How to Get Tombola Ticket and Effects

Register an Autosave by Zooming Into Another Town

Once you have enough tickets, Zoom yourself to anywhere and head back to town so you can creat an Autosave. This lets you reload quickly if the Tombola results aren’t favorable.

Draw From the Tombola 10 Times

Tombola x10

Use your tickets to draw 10 times at once. This speeds up the process compared to single draws and increases your chances of hitting valuable prizes.

Load Your Save Until You Win, Then Sell

Sell any prizes worth second prize or higher to maximize your gold. If luck isn’t on your side, return to the title screen without saving to try again until you get the desired rewards.

Fight Battles And Return

Battle

After a few battles, repeat the process. Fighting resets the limit on how many Tombola tickets you can earn from merchants, letting you continue farming gold efficiently.

No tombola in the game has Wizard Staves, and they only sell for 250 gold. The info is irrelevant to the HD-2D remake.
