Easy money
After successfully completing chapter 1, return to
the training area (the first mission) and complete training again.
Almost every time, you will get between 300 to 500 experience
points, and between 300 and 600 gold.
Go to the gambling fight with the bonus for each hit landed on
the opponent.
Go to the level where you must face four people and get a bonus.
This will be stated at the top where the article is located. Land
as many hits as possible (Talim is recommended). You will receive
about 28,000 gold.
In weapon master mode, go to chapter 9 (Algol). In the second
stage is a tournament where you can get a bonus of 1,000 to 2,000
gold per hit. You will fight three to five enemies. By the time
you win, you will gain between 20,000 to 35,000 gold. You can
keep repeating this strategy until you get the desired amount
of goal. This is best done the first time you play, as it will
get increasingly difficult in the later times that you play.
Choose Cervantes as your character. Then, go to the extra chapter
where you can buy complete Soul Edge weapons. Go to the last level
in that chapter, the dungeon. When you start the fight, keep doing
Cervantes' Charge move followed by Geo Da Ray ("Quarter-Circle
Back", then [Back] + [Triangle]). This method allows
you to easily KO opponents and is great for earning money quickly.
To gain a lot of money in a short time, go to the options screen
and set the game to the "Easy" difficulty setting and
the time to be infinite. Then, with any character, complete the
game. After doing this, you automatically get 1,000 gold. Continue
this as long as needed. This is also an easy way to unlock character's
biographies in "Museum" mode.
In weapon master mode, go to Chapter 9, Algol, and go to stage
2, Ancient Amphitheater. Do not do the extra mission if you cannot
survive with it blowing up. Fight the people there. If you are
skilled, you might get from 20000 to over 30000 gold.
