There aren’t too many reliable gold farming methods inBaldur’s Gate 3. You canslave away for years as a busker, or you can just keep killing people and selling all of their worldly possessions. You don’t need large amounts of gold throughout the game but if there’s an expensive weapon or piece of armour that you have your eyes on thenReddit user LavelloXVIImay have discovered a limited but profitable farming technique.
This method involves the Runepowder Barrel you must acquire to free Nere from the rubble. This very same barrelproved fatalfor a player’s honour run — but this method doesn’t involve detonating it so that shouldn’t be an issue.
The Runepowder Barrel is worth around 1200 gold and can always be found in the inventory of the merchant you sell it to, should they perish. Yes, the world of commerce can be equally as deadly as hunting monsters and keeping the peace.
Lavello sells the barrel to merchants they intend to kill. This includes Lady Esther from the Mountain Pass, A’Jak’nir Jeera from the Githyanki Creche and Lann Tarv from Moonrise Towers. That’s an easy 3600 gold from characters that most players would likely have killed, anyway.
Another user in the commentshighlights a method that can be utilised in Act 3 — robbing Sorcerous Sundries in Baldur’s Gate 3. You can pickpocket Lorroakan’s Projection for high-value scrolls that are re-stocked regularly. He doesn’t even really mind, being a programmed sliver of someone’s mind and all.
