How to legally make gold In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Here are the legal methods of making money in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2:
Smithing
Henry was raised a blacksmith and remains a dab hand at it, despite not being at an anvil for a while. You can follow the Radovan questline, which provides you with access to an anvil, a furnace, and some supplies. It also acts as a soft tutorial for those who haven’t forged a weapon before.
While forging weapons may seem like a worthy cause, there can be a lot of money in blacksmithing, especially if you create excellent pieces. Sell your creations back to Radovan for a small profit. It’s hard work, but it’s honest work.
Compete
There are several archery ranges dotted around the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 map, and if you’re any good, you can turn a tidy profit while also increasing your archery KCD2 skills. The master’s challenge can be difficult, but once you’re dialed in, you’ll be winning most, if not every competition you enter.
There are also multiple fighting competitions, like the one held at Kezvan the Miller’s place. These come with more of a risk than archery, as you’re liable to get your block knocked off, but you’ll be working that physical skill as well as making a tidy sum on the side.
Alchemy
Brewing potions and the like has many benefits, namely, the fact that you get numerous potions from it. You can brew concoctions to cure any ailment and some poisons that cause a few. This is all very well and good, but there will come a time when you simply cannot use all of your creations, so why not make a profit from your skills and sell them?
There are the Potion Seller and Lucky Find Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 perks that allow you to not only gather more raw ingredients, but when it comes time to sell your wares, you’ll get more cash for your trouble.
Gambling
Perhaps a morally gray area, but playing Dice can net you a pretty penny if you’re any good. Starting out, you’ll be lumped with a basic set, but as you travel the lands, you’ll gradually begin to amass a very special selection to play it. It isn’t cheating, it’s just ever so slightly weighing the odds in your favor.
Once you pick up badges, you can begin to play for some eye-watering amounts of money. 300-coin Emperor matches require a gold badge, but if you manage to come out on top, you’ll be laughing all the way to the tavern.

Here are other methods of making money in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2:
Thievery
A fairly obvious one, but taking what isn’t yours is technically free, although it comes with some hefty risk. If you steal from someone’s Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 storage chest, or pickpocket them, those items will be in your inventory but will be marked as stolen.
You can take these stolen items to a fence, who doesn’t much care where they came from, or wait long enough that the owners stop looking for them, and they become yours. There is also the third option of trying to sell stolen goods to a reputable merchant, but make sure you hide it among other legitimate goods and cross your fingers that they don’t notice.
Murder and loot
Ah, our old friend: murder. You can lower yourself to that of a common bandit and kill to make a living if you so choose. Corpses are free to be picked clean, although if you did the killing unlawfully, it will be classed as looting, and those objects will be marked as stolen for a time. Also, make sure nobody gets wind of what you’re doing, and wash that blood off before you go back into civilization; wouldn’t want to be branded as a scoundrel now, would you?
