Are you tired of being a penniless peasant in Kingdom Come: Deliverance? Longing to afford the best gear and live a life of relative luxury? Look no further! This guide reveals a powerful exploit to amass thousands of Groschen quickly in Rattay, transforming your Henry from zero to hero in no time. If you’re seeking Quick Money in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, this method is your ticket to wealth.
Requirements for Quick Cash
Before you dive into this gold-farming strategy, ensure you meet these prerequisites:
- Lockpicking Skill Level 14 or Higher: This is crucial for cracking the “very hard” locks guarding your riches. Invest in training and practice to reach this level.
- Padfoot Potions: These potions temporarily boost your lockpicking skill, making those tough locks easier to handle. Stock up on these or learn alchemy to brew your own.
- A Trusty Horse: Essential for transporting your loot to the miller and escaping quickly if needed.
- Access to the Rattay Miller: He’s your key fence, buying stolen goods without questions asked.
- (Optional) High Speech & Empathetic Perk: While not mandatory, these skills can help you talk your way out of trouble with guards should you get caught, minimizing losses.
Step-by-Step Guide to Unlimited Groschen
Follow these steps precisely to exploit the Rattay merchants and fill your coffers with quick money:
Step 1: The Weaponsmith’s Backroom Bounty
Head to the weaponsmith in Rattay. Locate the back room – your treasure trove. Inside, you’ll find chests and wardrobes secured with “very hard” locks. These are your targets.
Step 2: Silent Stealing Operation
Carefully and quietly, pick the locks of all chests and wardrobes in the back room. Steal everything you can carry. Crucially, ensure no guards are nearby and avoid any combat. Killing guards will only attract more unwanted attention.
Step 3: Patience is (Golden) Virtue – The 7-Day Wait
Remain in the weaponsmith’s back room. Now, exercise patience. You need to wait for the inventory to respawn. Pass in-game time for 7 full days. While the original post mentioned 2 days before patch 1.04, it seems the respawn timer has been extended. If items haven’t reappeared after 7 days, wait an extra day.
Step 4: Restock and Repeat
After the wait, the chests and wardrobes should be replenished with valuable goods. If not, wait another in-game day. Be aware that if the shop’s security guard spots you (even if not physically in the room), the items might not respawn. If this happens, try leaving Rattay and returning later.
Step 5: Maximize Your Haul – Carry Weight Limit
Repeat steps 2-4 until your carry weight approaches 2,000. Do not exceed this limit. Carrying too much can cause game lag and potential crashes due to inventory overload. 2,000 weight is a substantial amount of loot for a single run.
Step 6: Escape and Horseback Ride to the Miller
Once your inventory is bursting, exit the weaponsmith through the side door. Summon your horse and quickly ride to the Rattay miller.
Step 7: Fence Your Fortune
Sell your stolen goods to the miller. To maximize the miller’s available cash for future sales, you can initially sell items at a low price (or even for free) to inflate his coin reserves. Alternatively, sell gradually over several in-game days, allowing his coin to restock naturally. Continue selling until you’ve offloaded your entire haul.
Step 8: Rinse and Repeat for Unlimited Wealth
Repeat the entire process (steps 2-7) to amass an unlimited supply of Groschen. This method provides a steady and reliable stream of quick money.
Step 9: The Miller’s Secret Stash – The Ultimate Heist
Once the miller has accumulated a substantial amount of Groschen (e.g., 100,000 from your sales), it’s time for the final, most lucrative step. Locate the building behind the miller’s house. Pick the “easy” lock on the door. Inside, you’ll find a “very hard” chest. This chest is the miller’s personal inventory, containing all the Groschen you’ve effectively sold to him! Steal it all.
Important Note: Stealing from the miller’s chest will reset his coin to zero. You’ll need to sell items to him again to rebuild his cash reserves for future heists. However, with your newfound wealth, this is a minor inconvenience.
Bonus Tips and Considerations
- Miller’s Lockpicks: Don’t forget the side hustle! You can steal lockpicks from the miller’s chest. His inventory restocks on lockpicks every 4-6 in-game days, providing you with a free and endless supply. You can even sell the stolen lockpicks back to him – he’ll be none the wiser!
- Guard Troubles: If guards spot you stealing or become a nuisance, leave the area and wait for an hour or two in-game. This should usually cause them to disperse.
- The Armorer’s Alternative: For even more valuable loot, consider the armorer in Rattay. His chests are located upstairs in a small side room. However, be warned: a guard is often stationed downstairs and might follow you, increasing the risk of detection. The armorer’s chests contain significantly more valuable armor pieces, making the risk potentially worthwhile.
- Pre-Rattay Shop Buys: Before heading to Rattay, you can buy out shops in other towns. This increases the number of items available to steal and sell to the Rattay miller, further boosting your quick money gains. Don’t worry about the initial cost – you’ll recoup your investment and much more by exploiting the weaponsmith’s inventory. Remember, one of the chests you’re stealing from is the weaponsmith’s inventory (though not the entire stock), meaning the money you spend buying items will essentially cycle back into the accessible loot.
With this exploit, poverty will be a distant memory in your Kingdom Come: Deliverance playthrough. Enjoy your newfound wealth and the freedom it brings!
