How to Make Money Fast in Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Money can be hard to come by in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, especially for a simple son of a blacksmith like Henry. You’ll need frugal spending habits if you want to purchase better gear or get trained in skills like how to read and how to brew potions.

You can’t even clean your clothes at the local Bathhouse without being asked to fork over some Groschen. Though you won’t really have a steady income, there are a few ways that you can make a quick buck when necessary. Follow the steps in this guide for tips on how to make money fast in Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

How to Make Money Fast in Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Get Good at Stealing

One of the best ways to earn money fast in Kingdom Come: Deliverance is to get good at stealing, whether that be through lockpicking chests or pickpocketing strangers. Increasing these stats will allow you to get better at stealing, which can help you make money fast if you know where to pilfer.

Part of what makes stealing so effective is your ability to sell stolen goods to certain merchants. Of course, none of this will be possible if you don’t pay back Miller Peshek in Rattay for taking you in and footing your medical bills, so focus on repaying your debt to him first. 

To repay Miller Peshek, you can either pay back with Groschen or do him a favor. We suggest the latter, as this unlocks The Good Thief side quest, which will eventually allow you to sell stolen items. Peshek can also help train you in pickpocketing and lockpicking to help you hone your thievery skills.

Take From The Rich

Following up on the previous tip, one of the best ways to make money fast in Kingdom Come: Deliverance is by stealing from the rich folks in town. Not only are rich citizens more likely to have a decent chunk of change in their pockets, but they also have plenty of valuable items back at home, too. 

Track down where a noble lives and break into their house using your lockpicking skills. Make sure you’ve got some lockpicks to spare so that you can open any chests you find inside and steal their contents.

If you’re going on a thieving spree in a major town, stay on the lookout for security guards. Guards will occasionally come up to search you if they think you’re up to something fishy, especially if you have a poor reputation. This can land you in hot water, so try not to get caught with stolen goods in your pockets.

Highway Robbery

If you’d rather not steal from the folks in Rattay, you can always target roadside travelers instead. When trekking the roads between major towns, you’ll come across Wayfarers who usually carry some Groschen on them.

Sneak up behind an unsuspecting traveler and knock them out, making sure there are no guards around first. You don’t have to kill them to search their pockets and steal their goods. Remember, items you don’t need can always be sold to merchants and fencers to make money in Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Become an Ear Salesman

Okay, this one is a bit odd, but it’s better than robbing the good people of Rattay blind whenever you need some coin. Sir Robard in Talmberg will pay you for bringing him the ears of yellow-armored Cumans. Meanwhile, in Rattay, Captain Bernard is willing to pay you a pretty penny each time you bring him the ears of bandits. 

You must first obtain a dagger and keep it in your inventory before you can start cutting off the ears of Cumans and bandits for money. Collecting ear trophies can be a very lucrative enterprise, as both Sir Robard and Captain Bernard are willing to pay a decent price per ear. Everything has a price in Kingdom Come: Deliverance and the ears of criminals are no exception.

Practice Haggling

For a more noble approach to making money in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, you can always work on your haggling skills. Haggling can be a great way to not only save money but also earn money as well. Buying goods on the cheap and then reselling them at a higher price will allow you to turn a profit, earning you more Groschen over time. Practice your hustle and increase your haggling skill to make money fast in Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

These tactics may be a bit unsavory, but they will undoubtedly help you make money fast in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. For more useful tips and tutorials, check out our guides on where to find the spade, get the Talmberg armor set, and romance some lovely ladies.
