In the wizarding world of Hogwarts Legacy, players have access to many wonderful artifacts and spells to complete their objectives. However, players will also find that Galleons make that magic happen. Purchasing spellcrafts, potion ingredients, and gear are the most common uses for Galleons. But these Galleons can be difficult to find in the early game, making it more difficult to progress.
There are, however, some things that players can do to acquire more money quickly and easily. Here is how players can make money quickly in Hogwarts Legacy.
Galleons in Hogwarts Legacy
In Hogwarts Legacy, the currency that the game uses are Galleons. Kept in Gringotts, these golden coins are used throughout the magical world to buy and sell goods and are the coins with the highest value in the world of Harry Potter. As it turns out, being in the past does not exclude players from needing Galleons.
Much of the gear requires a large number of Galleons to buy, and players may prefer to purchase their potion ingredients instead of growing them in pots. Then there are the spellcrafts, recipes that players can use to build structures in the room of requirement. Many of these spellcrafts can cost several thousand Galleons, necessitating that players acquire Galleons quickly. Luckily, there are a few methods to make money in the lands surrounding Hogwarts.
Selling Gear
An effective means of acquiring Galleons throughout the game is the selling of gear items. Players only have a limited number of slots to hold gear, at least at first. While this limit can be increased by completing the Merlin Trials, players will still eventually need to sell gear.
This gear will be acquired in great numbers just by playing the game and looting chests and defeating enemies. This abundance of stuff to sell allows it to be a consistent means of acquiring Galleons throughout the game. But sometimes players will need that extra boost, and they can turn to the many beasts to make more money.
Making Money with Beasts
As players progress in the game, they will have the ability to catch and rescue beasts throughout the lands of Hogwarts. In an ironic twist, Hogwarts Legacy allows players to make money by rescuing animals instead of poaching them. In an attempt to stop the various witches and wizards that are out to capture and harm animals, Deek the House elf will task the player with rescuing those same creatures.
Once they are in the player's possession, players can either take them to the Room of Requirement to provide crafting materials, or they can be sold. The Brood and Peck in Hogsmeade will purchase animals from players for a decent amount of Galleons, based on the type of beast being sold. Further, players can breed these animals to make baby versions of them, and then sell the babies to make more Galleons.
Eye Chests
Another method involves exploring around the world for large treasure chests with eyes placed on the front of them. Players that have the Disillusionment Charm can use it to sneak up on these chests. Once done, players will be rewarded with a decent sum of Galleons, making it a good early-game option to acquire more money.
As players progress, it may become less efficient to seek these chests out. However, the chests are still a good means of earning bonus Galleons whenever players loot them when passing by. These methods should allow players to earn themselves Galleons whenever money is tight, getting them back to the adventure quickly.
Hogwarts Legacy is available now for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.
