3 Top Tier Ways To Make Money In Outward | Tips & Tricks For Beginners

It can be very difficult to make money in Outward. Most strategies force you to fight high-level enemies that you won't be able to beat without spending silver on traps. In the beginning, you do not have silver to waste and need to make money without putting yourself in danger. These are my 3 favorite ways to make money in Outward and they can be repeated multiple times during a single playthrough.
Outward is an RPG/survival game that allows you take to make an almost infinite number of builds. Melee, magic, archery, and even traps are scattered across this harsh world in the form of skills. You must have a large amount of money to purchase these skills, but luckily the monsters drop extremely valuable items. The game has been harshly criticized due to how realistic and difficult it is. Feel free to subscribe and watch me beat the crap out of some crazy monsters.

The silver exploit at the fortress DOES NOT WORK for Definitive Edition. Not worth trying. The other methods should work okay, although there are a few changes that up the difficulty factor.

[@pizzapandalive]

Thats no problem. Nobody sells scrap at vendavel. :D

[@cosmicfool3334]

I have no idea why they decided to do that It’s fun At least the ps4 version isn’t patched out

[@otherkaden3140]

Where did you get your purple hammer weapon from? What is it called?

[@KainYusanagi]

A replacement for the iron exploit: Craft one iron scrap with one thick oil and one salt. This gives you 3 charge - incendiary, which sell for 3 silver each. There are a number of oil wells around the world you can loot for this, too. You can also use scavenged iron and buy the oil instead, but that'll result in less profits.

[@jonahglover59]

Yeah I figured that out when I ran in there with like 75 scrap saved...😅

I myself was a huge fan of the DLC, until it came to the town... The Kazite actually live in a town made of boats on the water. I think this would be a really cool new area and would give us more lore on this cool group of people.

[@benstalder6882]

My brother and I just started we tried to play without the tutorial but got wrecked lol we are doing the tutorial now 😅

[@icantthink2853]

One of my favorite ways of making money in this game is simply to grind for crafting parts and making “special” weapons to sell off. For instance the horror sword sells for 600, and to be completely honest it’s not that hard to make given some time and slight experience or guides like the one with the 7 big boys. That’s like easily 5 swords which is equivalent to 3,200 silver. I might be missing some details or key points so this may seem stupid? but just something I thought I’d ought to mention.

[@SheenShots]

You've got the right idea there! Horror weapons in particular are quite easy to make if you have Horror Chitin. Luckily, as you mentioned, someone made a video on how to get a ton of the stuff 😁.

[@kristofbab]

I agree this is the one of the fastest way. Just don't forget to buy ALL the palladium scrap and occult remains from merchants (or farm near/in Hives with fire weapon), I think I made more than 4000 thousand after 1 run one hour into the game.

[@b3bulajr548]

If this is your first playthrough you just need to enjoy the game and explore as much as you want . Love your videos btw😀😀

[@SheenShots]

[@SheenShots]

@@manawaedwards1830 Ah yes the cave of incredible danger. Anyone on their first playthrough most likely hates that cave lol.

[@prettyboydeadhit5044]

Thank you so much for telling me how long it took for the world to reset I was so lost I really appreciate it friend

[@SheenShots]

Absolutly. The game doesn't actually tell you so it can be hard to figure out.

[@umbranoctis4348]

If you wanna keep sleeping through 7 day cycles, just keep your eyes open for a plant-tent-seed. I believe the Soroborean Caravanner in Berg is the easiest way to get one if you're starting a new character.

[@jpm8288]

I think the best way to make money as a newcomer is the Cabal Wind Temple. However, the hardest part is getting the big guy in the elevator as you said in this video. If its your first time, there is a significantly high chance that you will indeed die because he can two shot you in the elevator and you must pull the lever to go down while under stress. The better way to approach this is to play split screen and make a new character that does the entire Wind temple run for your main character while you wait upstairs near the starting point close to the explosion lever. That way if the newly created character dies you can just end split screen, and make another new character to finish the run. This is good because your newly made character will likely die in the elevator as it is going down, and you can just spawn a new character to continue what he didn't finish. Creating a new character also helps you as it can act as a mule for gear because you likely won't be able to carry all that gear back after the run.

[@iamurage]

Good content. Seems to me not many have centred information for New Soroco, thanks to yours I now now where to find that bandits back pack, I think that's the name. I have watched many builds that don't seem to work in the The Three Brothers area. So this may be an idea for you.

[@SheenShots]

I do plan on moving towards the Caldera content here soon. It is a little harder to do since it is very end-game content. Thanks for the idea! Also, a little hit for the Three Brothers DLC... totems are much better than they seem. I'm working on a build currently that might be what you are looking for.

[@oneCrusader]

One of my personal favourite places to make money is the kazite bandit camp on the west side of the antique plateau. Clearing the bandits is easy even with an early-ish game character and the loot can sell for the total of at least 1000 silver (if you have the capacity to carry everything)

[@SheenShots]

Great tip! I have actually never tried this one so I will have to give it a go.

[@eddiejohnson429]

You should absolutely not sell your Horror Chitin. The best money maker I've found is a run through the Ernmerkar Forest where you make and sell horror weapons. One run can easily be done in ~30min or less and will net you enough mats to make 4 horror weapons which sell for 750 silver a pop (or 900 in Levant). All you do is clear the Wind Temple as shown in this video which will net you 4 horror chitin while killing the Illuminators will give you predator bones (you need 8). Then head east towards the Hives and kill a few of the hive enemies for their occult remains and then head back to Berg. If you look up a map of the region, you'll also see that this route takes you past 5 palladium deposits and you'll need 4 of them. Then just buy 4 2handed Iron weapons from the smith in Berg and make the horror weapons. You'll need 1 Iron weapon, 2 predator bones, 1 linen cloth, 1 palladium scrap, 1 horror chitin and 1 occult remain per weapon. And there you go, ~3k silver (3.6k in Levant) for a fairly easy run. The only slight challenge is killing the Hive enemies, but they're easily taken down with ranged attacks (bows, guns, spells, etc.), even early in the game.

[@SheenShots]

Yes, I used to sell it and found out after that it is much more profitable to craft the horror weapons. Super easy to make and you can get the materials pretty easily.

[@CookiePieMonster]

If anyone sees this just know that everything sells for more in Lavant, just like how everything is also more expensive in Lavant.

[@trevorbakerNUGGA]

I ended up using the iron scrap technic after I first watched this video, but I did it a bit differently. I killed crock early with traps once I had enough saved up because I wasn’t geared enough to kill him in a fight. I spent the entire time before that saving up all scrap I could. I’d scrap all the weapons from bandits, I’d buy the scrap from vendors as long as it cost less than 5 silver, I hit the iron nodes, anything I could and kept it in my stash (before that I’d sell all scrap I could get from the mine by letting them capture me while Crock was still alive). Then after I had killed him and brought all the scrap in I repeated the process farming chersonese for awhile just to get better gear from lucky drops, save up good crafting materials and learn recipes, got a decent character all without leaving the starting region. Whenever my scrap got heavy enough in my stash I’d take it all to vendaval and sell again. It slightly slowed down my immediate gain holding so much scrap for a while instead of selling the gear, but with everything else I can sell I still had enough money to do what I wanted until the next scrap drop. Ended up having about 3k silver in a few hours of solo play, not much sleeping for the region to reset so about a week and a half in game time.

[@SheenShots]

That is an insane amount to get from the iron exploit. People complain about how hard it is to get silver sometimes, but the reality is that you just need to do this right here to have a good amount of money in the beginning. Thanks for trying it out and giving us some feedback!

[@trevorbakerNUGGA]

@@SheenShots granted the money I made wasn’t entirely from scrap only, but the vast majority of it was. The rest came from selling things that were too valuable to scrap into iron or things I wasn’t gonna use that rot or were just not useful for me at the time

[@SheenShots]

@@trevorbakerNUGGA Makes sense. It all adds up in the end!

[@z543]

Just a quick tip for farming the Ornate Chest: - Do NOT sleep in your tent but buy the house and sleep in the bed!! You will not have to worry about hunger and thirst. - If you still wanna camp out, use Plant Tent! Plant Tent will fill your hunger and thrist

[@FirstLast-cg2nk]

Two extremely important tidbits of info. First off, if you want to wait out 7 days, buy a Plant Tent and plant it in the town. Your food and water are provided by the tent, and the tent becomes a permanent fixure in the town so you can always use it when you go back to town. Second, you missed an amazing way to get good money early game: Mine mana stones on Conflux Mountain. Why? You have a chance to get Hackmanite, which sells for 50 silver a pop. You might get none, you might get a lot, but it's usually worth the trip.

[@SheenShots]

Great tips. Mana mining can be extremely lucrative and requires very little skill to accomplish. Just don't forget a pickaxe or you're walking back to town lol.

[@jayqueuescontent8075]

Just bought it because it’s on sale at ps store restarted a bunch of times and got kind of discouraged because I kept dying really easily but it was cool to explore and collect inreallly want to get into an rpg and I’m homing I get past the learning curve with this one

[@Finest_of_563]

Crafting gold lich weapons and shields are a great way to make some fast silver. As long as you can kill the golden golems in and around the gold lich's tower, there's a good chance they will drop gold lich mechanisms that you can combine with iron weapons and some firefly dust to make weapons that sell for I believe 300-400 a piece. You can get a lot of them in a single run through the tower and the firefly's are all over the marsh for free dust, as well as bandits for basic weapons to convert. You can make several thousand silver in about 30 minutes with this method, and can sleep 7 days to reset the tower to do it again.

[@Finest_of_563]

There's also an ornate chest and I believe 2 regular chests there as well

[@SheenShots]

I am going to make another money guide soon so I appreciate the tip! Hadn't thought of this one.

In Harmattan you could buy a plant tent after one run for silver. Then you dont have to worry about food or water when resting the 7 days

[@SheenShots]

Plant tents are very good when it comes to resetting your outside world. Great tip!

[@randomn4me205]

My personal money making bonus scheme at the start is crabeye seeds, thick oil and metal scraps in Chersonese. Easy to find and collect with no starting skills, light weight and with the alchemist set easy to make charges with for sale.

[@SheenShots]

Another great idea! Crafting often gets overlooked in this game but that is actually where all the true currency lies. Even crafting with plants can get you some decent coin.

[@randomn4me205]

@@SheenShots Yup, after watching your videos I decided to replay the game and have been trying to get as much money as possible to be able to buy up all the skills I need. Only have one skill tree completed so far but almost enough to complete the other 2. Crafting, cooling and alchemy is a good way to increase the value of random items.

Thanks for the video. Quick question, why didn't you have any corruption fumes at the cabal wind temple? Do i need to do a puzzle somewhere to turn that off? Or was this something added in Definitive edition so low level characters don't exploit?

[@SheenShots]

That was added in definitive edition. It does make it a bit harder to do, but not much. You should still be okay as long as you just try to bring them into the main area and blow them up quickly.

[@stevenhowie762]

hey sheen. involing the last method in the wind temple. tents op. draw enemies with tent. much easier.

[@yaguking]

If you have the DLC, you could take the horror chitin and make horror weapons and sell them in Berg. The great axe sells for 750 in Berg, 900 in Levant.

When i need gold from scratch at the start of the game i usually go up conduit mountain, mine all mana stones (12 are the ones i know, but there are more, harder to reach, not worth imo), then walk to the beach, fish all the fish and grab all the blue sand from both beach and cave (average 8 blue sand but if lucky it can get up to 16-17) then just go back and sell everything. Some RNG is needed for Hackmanite (one in three drop rate) but on average i get 350-400 gold without killing anything. This can be repeated every 7 days too i believe and takes no effort, also you can do a lot more stuff while around so you don't necessarily have to go out just for the gold farm, you can just do it along other things.

Yes that area did get changed due to that. I suggest saving up enough to buy one or two potions from the alchemist in Berg before you go there. After that you can turn the horror chitin into horror weapons and sell those for more money that what I got in the video. This will more than make up for the money spent on potions and give you enough for extra potions you might need.
