Hogwarts Legacy: Best Gold Farming Methods

Become rich, buy potions, legendary gear & whatever you fancy in Hogwarts Legacy by doing these money-farming methods.

A lot of great potions, ingredients, and high-tier gear comes at a high price in the game. That is why you’ll need Gold Galleons in large amounts, and the best methods of farming money will really help you out in your playthrough in Hogwarts Legacy. If you grind for gold galleons, then you’ll make things easier for yourself for the rest of the playthrough.

Key Takeaways
  • Gold Galleons make up the currency in Hogwarts Legacy, and you’ll need these in order to purchase almost anything in the game.
  • Most of the chests contain gold; however, only the Eyeball Chests will net you a hefty sum of gold galleons in the game.
  • Aside from chests, you can also sell old gear in your inventory to get gold galleons. Selling gear of higher rarity will get you more gold.
  • Gold can also be farmed once you unlock the Nab-Sack Spell and the Beast Vivarium in the Room of Requirement.
  • You can capture beasts at various beast dens and can sell the beasts at the price of 120 gold galleons each at the Brood and Peck Shop in Hogsmeade.
  • Beasts will respawn after a day passes in the game, and you can continuously farm the same beast den again and again.

Best Gold Farming Methods

Gold Galleons are usually obtained by opening up chests, but the amount obtained just isn’t enough. However, there are certain eyeball chests, as shown in the image above, that net you 500 gold galleons when you open one.

But here’s the catch, you can’t open these chests until you’ve learned the Disillusionment spell in the game. That spell makes you invisible, and the eyeball on the chest won’t be able to track you, which will allow you to open up the chest to get a hefty sum of gold.

Opening up chests isn’t enough to fulfill your gold needs. So here are two great methods to farm gold in Hogwarts Legacy;

  • Farming And Selling Gear
  • Capturing And Selling Beasts

The second method is even more efficient, but it takes a while before you unlock the spells required to capture beasts in the game.

Farming And Selling Gear

You will come across a lot of new gear while progressing through Hogwarts Legacy and will quickly end up filling your inventory with Wizard Wear. When you obtain stronger gear to wear, then your old gear just takes up space in the inventory and doesn’t serve any purpose.

You can, however, sell this gear at the Wizardwear shop in Hogsmeade or any other shopkeeper, for that matter. Doing so will net you gold galleons in the game, and depending upon the rarity of the gear that you’re selling, you will get more galleons additionally. Legendary gear will get you the highest number of gold galleons upon selling.

Capturing And Selling Beasts

The second method of farming gold galleons can’t be performed until you’ve obtained a certain spell in the game, and that spell is the Nab-Sack. This spell can only be obtained once you’ve unlocked a Beast Vivarium in the Room Of Requirement and have also completed The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom quest in the game.

Once you complete the quest mentioned above, you will get the Nab-Sack that you can use to capture various beasts around the world of Hogwarts Legacy. Capture beasts at a beast den so that you can entrap as many as you can.

Additionally, the beasts also respawn after a day passes in Hogwarts Legacy, so you can keep farming beast dens. The type of beast that you decide to farm depends on you, but we recommend farming at the location shown in the image above.

Once you capture the beasts, you can sell them for 120 gold galleons each at the Brood and Peck Shop located in Hogsmeade. Capturing smaller beasts is extremely easy, and farming can be made even easier by utilizing spells like Leviosa.

This method of capturing beasts and selling them will make you rich in no time, but the only problem with farming beasts is that it unlocks later in the game and is not available in the beginning. 

Why Do You Need Gold
