How to make money fast in Hogwarts Legacy

While exploring the vast map of Hogwarts Legacy, players will need a steady flow of cash for gear, recipes, magical items, and more. So to help you make money fast, here are the most effective ways to get Galleons, Knuts, and Sickles in the game.

The magical realm you explore in Hogwarts Legacy is filled with alluring items, including essential potions such as Wiggenweld and luxurious wand customization options, so it’s always useful to have a few Galleons in your robe.

However, these items come at a high cost, and making money is not that easy in the Wizarding World. So, to help you buy that luxurious gear you’ve been after, here are the best ways to make money fast in Hogwarts Legacy.

Sell your unused gear

One of the first, and arguably most passive ways to make money fast in the game is to simply sell the gear you don’t need.

While traveling around Hogwarts and beyond, you’ll likely come across a variety of robes, hats, gloves, and more, meaning you’ll likely be holding onto a lot of spares.

So, if you want to make money quickly without having to hunt around a lot, occasionally head over to a vendor and sell all your unused gear. This will bring back a tidy profit without you needing to spend any money.

To sell your gear, simply head into any of the shops at Hogsmeade and speak to the vendor there. You’ll be able to sell whatever you want to them, within reason.

Looting chests: Including monster eyeball chests

While you won’t exactly get a lot of money from each chest, this is another type of easy income that doesn’t require you to spend any previous coins or go too far out of your way.

The eyeball chests, otherwise known as Disillusionment Chests can be found around Hogwarts and Hosmede. Once you open them you’ll get 500 Galleons, meaning, once you’ve found them all, you’ve made a quick and easy profit.

As for the other chests, some grant you unique rewards, like the House Chest, while others will get you a small monetary reward.

Sell beasts: Specifically Mooncalfs and Puffskeins

Even though it can be sad, another way to make some quick and easy Galleons is to sell some adorable beasts at The Brood and Peck in Hogsmeade. Being able to breed such animals means you’ll always have a way to make a tidy profit without spending much at all.

Understandably, you will need to unlock the Room of Requirement, which opens up the Vivarium. However, once you’ve done this, simply catch some adorable Mooncalfs and Puffskeins and you’ll be well on your way to endless riches.

To put this trick into perspective, each Puffskein will bring in 120 Galleons, meaning, after a short catching adventure, you’ll likely be bringing in upwards of 1,200 Galleons in less than an hour. They respawn every in-game day so just repeat the process and you’ll be fine.

Complete side quests

Due to how extensive Hogwarts Legacy is, it can be easy to miss several side quests offered by NPC around the world. So, whenever you’re walking around following the main quest, take your time to talk to strangers in order to trigger some of the side missions the game has to offer.

Additionally, once you complete a side quest, you’ll sometimes be able to ask the NPC for more money during the dialogues. You must be persistent and don’t worry, as there are no repercussions for doing so.

Open your Hogsmeade shop

The entrepreneur souls will love the possibility of having their own shop in Hogsmeade. However, before you can sell your first product, you must start the “Minding Your Own Business” quest by wandering around near the broomstick store until someone offers it to you.

The mission is one of the longest of the game and can only take place during winter time, but once you’re through with it, you’ll be able to sell all your gear at the newly acquired Caldwell & Brewster shop for a much higher price.

The “Minding Your Own Business” quest is exclusive to the PlayStation version and will be triggered once players unlock the “Fire and Vice” main story quest.
