Just a few days after the release of Dragon’s Dogma 2, savvy players have already found a way to farm a lot of gold in a short time. However, the system behind it is somewhat dubious.
How to quickly get gold? There are various ways to earn gold in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Defeated enemies sometimes drop gold, and we’ve highlighted a popular farming route in another post.
Valuable items like gems can also be sold to merchants, as well as found equipment that you don’t need yourself.
But, as often happens, clever players have found another method to obtain impressive amounts of gold in a short time.
Your pawn brings the gold home
How does the trick work? Essentially, this method operates like a pyramid scheme. This means the more people use the method, the better it works.
The Reddit user Thick_Shady explained in a post how the trick works. First, you need to send your pawn on a quest. This works easiest when you assign them to kill a specific monster.
Suitable targets include ogres, cyclopes, or chimeras. To ensure the other player, who summons your pawn, has an incentive to complete the quest, you set a reward. It shouldn’t be too low. The Reddit user recommends 10,000 gold.
At first glance, this may sound like you would incur losses with the method. But here’s the trick: You only have to pay the reward once, while countless players can summon your pawn in the rift.
If you go into the rift yourself and find pawns of other players who also offer 10,000 gold as a reward, you can benefit quickly. Just summon the pawn, take down an ogre, and complete the quest. 10,000 gold will find its way into your account.
Earning gold can be so easy
How well does it work? According to the Reddit user, very well. In his trial run, he earned about 200,000 gold in two hours. He repeatedly used the pawns of those players who were participating in the system, killed a ton of ogres, and pocketed the reward each time.
The method seems to be working. The only question is how long Capcom will let players get away with this. After all, this way the game’s economic system is rendered almost meaningless.
Are players participating? Many players are speaking out under Thick_Shady’s Reddit post, acknowledging the system:
- “I’m doing this. If the reward is 10,000 gold, I hire the people,” writes AzurasNerevarine.
- “Can we start a list of pawn IDs/platforms that offer the 10,000 gold?” suggests HandsomeHorses.
- “Is this the Dragon’s Dogma version of financial fraud?” wonders christusmajestatis.
In fact, the method would likely not be entirely legal in real life. Perhaps the digital police named Capcom will intervene soon.
Have you already tried the method? Let us know in the comments. Players have found a way to fight the dragon plague in the game.
