The best method of farming gold is by selling beasts at Brood and Peck in Hogsmeade after you've unlocked the Nab-Sack in the Main Quest The Elf, the Nab-Sack, and the Loom. Players can either go around the map and rescue beasts to sell, or breed beasts in the Room of Requirement and sell them for a profit.
With 16 Breeding Pens and 16 pairs of beasts for a total of 32 beasts across the 4 rooms of your Vivarium, you can yield 16 offspring every 30 minutes, which can be sold at the Brood and Peck for a total of 1920 gold. You'll want to unlock the Phoenix first as adding the Phoenix causes the 4th Vivarium room to open.

The best location to farm beasts is in the Forbidden Forest. The map above shows a route where players can reliably rescue beasts, and upon reaching the end of the route, more beasts will have respawned, allowing for continuous farming. Be sure to unlock the Broom first before attempting the route.

List of Beasts and How to Get Beasts
As you progress in the game, you might find the gear in your inventory to be continuously piling up. Seeing as Hogwarts Legacy is quite generous with gear drops, you can sell any excess gear to vendors for easy money.
If you are playing the PS5 version, you can go to the Haunted Hogsmeade shop and sell your gear there as they give you better prices.
While looking for the Disillusionment Chests won't be as quick as the previous methods and do not respawn, these chests give out 500 Gold when you successfully loot them. Be on the lookout for these eyeball chests as the gold earned is quite hefty.
Estimated Time | 5-8 minutes |
---|---|
Estimated Earnings | 6500 Gold (13 Disillusionment chests) |
You can find at least thirteen Disllusionment chests in Hogsmeade. Opening them all gives you a whooping 6,500 Gold, allowing you to buy most of the items required in the early game.
Note that you need to complete the Secrets of the Restricted Section main quest as this rewards you with the Disillusionment spell.
How to Open Eyeball Chests (Disillusionment Chests)
There will be a few instances where you can ask fellow students for money in exchange for helping them out. This won't be the case for all quests but you can get gold should you choose to receive compensation.

Across the highlands, you will encounter different types of camps with enemy wizards and goblins. These camps are another viable method of farming money since enemies you defeat often drop gold.
These camps also have chests with gear you can use or sell as well as chests with gold.

Gold will mainly be used to purchase other types of gear as well as upgrade items from different shops in Hogsmeade. Players can check the different shops for possible purchases.
In addition to the shops in Hogsmeade, there are other shops present in other areas of the game where players can purchase ingredients as well as items. There will also be some quests requiring the player to buy items such as ingredients for a potion or the potion itself.
