Clearing "The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom"
To farm beasts, progress through the main story and clear "The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom." This main quest happens during the preparation to find the final guardian, so it's recommended to complete other main quests to reach this point in the story.

Go to the Puffskein Den
After clearing "The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom," head to the Puffskein Den. The Puffskein Den is located east of the Forbidden Forest Floo Flame.

Capture Puffskein in the Area
Once you arrive at the Puffskein Den, use the capture bag to catch a Puffskein. Since the area has many Puffskeins, it's recommended to keep capturing them until they're all gone.

Recommended Early Game Money-Making Methods
| Money-Making Methods | Recommendation Level |
|---|---|
| Opening Disillusionment Chests | ★★★★★ |
| Selling Equipment | ★★★★☆ |
| Opening Regular Chests | ★★★☆☆ |
Opening Disillusionment Chests is the most efficient method in the early game
The most recommended money-making method in the early game is to open Disillusionment Chests found in Hogwarts Hogsmeade. Each chest rewards you with 500 Galleons, making it an easy way to earn money in the early stages.
"Disillusionment" is required to open the chests
You cannot open Disillusionment Chests by approaching them directly, but you can open them by using the Disillusionment Charm learned during the main quest "Secrets of the Restricted Section." However, even if you use the charm right next to the chest, it won't open. So, use the charm from a slightly distant location and approach stealthily.
Selling Equipment
Until the mid-game, sell the equipment obtained from dungeons and enemy drops to earn money. Your equipment's performance varies greatly depending on the equipment level, so it's fine to sell low-level equipment.
Sell equipment frequently
The initial equipment limit is only 20, so sell equipment frequently. If you reach the equipment limit, you won't be able to obtain equipment from chests. Additionally, the equipment limit expands based on the number of Trials of Merlin cleared, so it's recommended to prioritize clearing Trials of Merlin when you find them.

Opening Regular Chests
Until the mid-game, you should open regular chests scattered around to earn money. Chests may contain equipment or gold. Since chests are found everywhere, opening them regularly can help you earn some pocket change.
Recommended Money-Making Methods from Mid to Late Game
| Money-Making Methods | Recommendation Level |
|---|---|
| Capture and Sell Beasts | ★★★★★ |
| Sell Equipment | ★★★★☆ |
Capturing and Selling Beasts is Recommended from Mid Game Onwards
Once you progress through the main quest and clear "The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom," capturing and selling beasts becomes the most efficient money-making method. Each beast can be sold for 120 Galleons, so by capturing 20 creatures, you can earn 2400 Galleons, which is the inventory limit.
Continue Selling Unused Equipment
Even in the mid to late game, selling equipment is a good way to earn money. While the equipment storage limit can be expanded by clearing Trials of Merlin, selling equipment is essential to acquire new equipment. To obtain higher-level equipment, it's recommended to sell relatively weaker equipment as a money-making method.

Uses of Money and Recommendations
| Use | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Purchase seeds and recipes | ★★★★★ |
| Purchase spellcrafts | ★★★★☆ |
| Purchase materials | ★★★☆☆ |
Purchase Seeds and Recipes
It's recommended to use money to purchase plant seeds and magic potion recipes. Seeds and recipes are necessary for creating items required in quests, so it is good to unlock them early on. Seeds can be purchased at The Magic Neep in Hogsmeade, and recipes can be purchased at J. Pippin's Potions.

Purchase Spellcrafts
Money is also used to purchase spellcrafts, which are necessary items for building facilities in The Room of Requirement. Having a collection of spellcrafts significantly increases production efficiency in The Room of Requirement, so it's recommended to purchase them gradually after acquiring seeds and recipes. Spellcrafts can be purchased at Tomes and Scrolls.

Purchasing materials and consumable items
Money is also used when purchasing materials and consumable items. However, store-bought materials and finished products are much more expensive than making them yourself, so it's more efficient to obtain them through activities such as gathering in The Room of Requirement or in the field.
