How can I get gold to put in the bank or buy stuff with?
  • 1 of 6: The only source of gold in Ravensford is the shop.
  • 2 of 6: You can go there and sell items that you've picked up or that you started with.
  • 3 of 6: When selling or buying, forget the handshake buttons and simply double-click on the item you want to buy or sell. (Pressing Shift-S to sell items instantly is also sometimes useful.)
  • 4 of 6: Also, make sure the person with the highest Merchant skill does all the buying and selling.
  • 5 of 6: Unless there's something fairly cheap in the shop's inventory that you really badly want, there's no need to sell anything now. You might as well wait until you have a higher Merchant skill.
  • 6 of 6: Note that you can "sell" all the tutorial scrolls, but you will get 0 gold for them. However, you should get rid of them one way or another after reading them so they won't take up any inventory room.
