How to Earn Gold Fast

Jump to a Section




Farm and Sell Beasts at Brood and Peck

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.

Breed Beasts in the Vivarium

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.

Required Time 30 minutes (idle)
Estimated Earnings 1920 gold (32 beasts)
Cost 240 moonstone

Best Beast Farming Route

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.

Estimated Time 20 minutes
Estimated Earnings 4200 gold (35 beasts)

Sell Your Gear

Hogwarts Legacy Unidentified Gear

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.

List of Gear

Open Disillusionment (Eyeball) Chests

Hogwarts Legacy - Turn Invisible

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.

Best Disillusionment Chest Farming Route

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.

Take Payments From Quests

Hogwarts Legacy  - Quest with Payment

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.

List of Side Quests

Clear Enemy Camps

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.

Where to Use Gold

Buy Gear or Upgrade Items

Hogwarts Legacy - Purchase Upgrades

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.

What to Buy First?

Purchase Ingredients

Hogwarts Legacy - Pippins Potions

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.
