To survive in medieval Bohemia in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you should have enough Groschen in your pockets. MeinMMO gives you tips on how to quickly fill your wallet.
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the currency is Groschen. With it, you can not only buy weapons and armor but also pay for a place to sleep or for saving potions.
Moreover, with enough Groschen, you can bribe other characters, for example, for information or to forget a crime. So having a full bag of Groschen is never a bad idea.
Let the dice fall
Especially at the beginning, it can be wise to get familiar with the dice game and earn some Groschen for accommodation and food. Starting bet: 10 Groschen. Higher bets are also possible. By using “Save and Quit,” you can relatively easily undo lost games.
Steal everything you can
To acquire wealth, it should be no problem for you to commit the odd crime. If no one is watching, everything that seems even remotely valuable should go into your pocket. If you acquire something unlawfully, the item will be marked with a red symbol.
Where can I sell stolen goods? You can try to sell stolen goods to regular merchants. If it’s just a few items and you otherwise sell legitimate goods, the merchants are more likely to accept them.
The “Thief” (main level) ability is particularly helpful for this, as it increases the likelihood that merchants will buy your stolen goods.
However, if you made a decent haul while stealing, the fence Mordechai Haim at the Nomad Camp will help you in the first region of the game. The camp is located west of Zelejow in Trosky. Additionally, you can unlock a fence (named Innkeeper Helga Schelm) west of Kuttenberg by completing quests of a Kuttenberg thief group.
Don’t forget to check your enemies’ pockets after you’ve killed them. You can always pocket a few Groschen, and sometimes there might be a treasure or two.
Items that fall under the category “Miscellaneous” can be sold with a clear conscience. They are similar to treasures and serve to make Groschen.
Tip: If your inventory is bursting at the seams due to constant plundering (making sprinting and fast travel impossible), use your horse’s storage space to maximize your loot. Stolen loot is also less conspicuous to guards if stored in saddle bags during an inspection.
Make merchants your best friends
If you want good prices for your items, the reputation you enjoy with a merchant plays a significant role. If it is in the upper range (100-61), you will get better prices from that merchant.
You can see your current reputation with a merchant in the last row under your stats in the sales screen.
In no sale should you skip bargaining. At the start, it will only earn you a few extra Groschen, but with increasing reputation, the merchant will be willing to deviate more from the price.
Selling to Specialists
If you have particularly valuable items, sell them to the respective specialist. A trader will give you less for weapons and armor than a blacksmith would.
So sell weapons and armor to blacksmiths, take alchemy items to apothecaries, and tailors will give you better prices for undergarments.

All on Red
If you are risk-taking and have a few special dice in your inventory, you can try your luck at the dice game. The more you bet, the more you can win; conversely, you can also lose more. You can find gamblers in every settlement.
