Combine treasures and sell them
The most efficient way to farm money is to combine treasures and then sell them. When combined with Gemstones, treasures can have their prices doubled thanks to set bonuses. Refer to the set bonuses and combine treasures in a way that maximizes the selling price.
All treasures are displayed on the map if you have a treasure map
When you obtain a treasure map, the locations of the treasures will be displayed on the map. You can obtain treasure maps through DLC or by exchanging Spinels. Clear Requests and gather Spinels to get your hands on them.

★★★★☆+40% ammo resale value |

★★★☆☆+20% weapon resale value |
To efficiently earn money, equip a sales charm before selling items. When selling items that take up space in your attache case, attaching the corresponding charm to the item will increase its selling price. It is recommended to check the charm before selling.

Defeat Enemies
Money can be obtained by defeating enemies. Additionally, stronger enemies have a higher chance of dropping valuable Gemstones. It is recommended to assess the strength of your weapons and the remaining Ammo before deciding to defeat stronger enemies if you have the means to do so.
Enemies that Drop Gemstones
| Enemy | Main Chapters of Appearance |
|---|---|
| Chainsaw Man Chainsaw Sisters |
・Chapter 1 ・Chapter 6 |
| Brute | ・Chapter 1 ・Chapter 13 |
| El Gigante | ・Chapter 4 ・Chapter 11 |
| Novistador ※Drops with a certain probability |
・Chapter 10 ・Chapter 11 |
Convert Attache Cases to Gold
If you have pre-order bonuses or DLC, equip the Attache Case Gold. Equipping the Attache Case Gold increases the drop rate of currency. You can change the type of Attache Case through the Case Customization option in the Typewriter Menu.

How to Save 2 Million Pesetas
Sell an Elegant Crown made of 5 Gemstones of different colors
Sell the Elegant Crown combined with 5 Gemstones of different colors. The Elegant Crown is the only treasure that can embed 5 Gemstones, and if you activate the set bonus of 5 colors, its selling price will reach 100,000 Ptas.
Always leave at least 1 color when embedding Gemstones
When embedding Gemstones into a treasure, make sure to leave at least 1 color for both the round and square types. If you use up all the Gemstones, there is a possibility that you won't be able to achieve the set bonus for having 5 Colors, so it is recommended to have all the Gemstones at hand just in case.

Selling Three-Colored Herbs with Charms
Let's sell a combination of green, red, and yellow herbs with the Rhinoceros Beetle Charm attached. By using the Rhinoceros Beetle, the selling price of recovery items increases by 100%, causing the sales amount to skyrocket up to 20,000. This allows you to earn more money than selling mediocre treasures.
The Selling Price of Rhinoceros Beetles also Increases
With the Rhinoceros Beetle Charm, the price of Rhinoceros Beetles obtainable on the map also increases. Originally, one beetle is equivalent to the selling price of three-colored herbs. It is extremely useful for money-making, catch as many as you can!

Collect All Treasures Obtained Along the Way
In order to save up to 2 million Ptas, collect all the treasures that can be obtained along the way. There are many treasures that can only be obtained by taking detours or not going back once you pass them, so make sure not to miss them and gradually get closer to 2 million by converting them into money.
Tips for Saving Money
Carefully Select Weapons to Upgrade
To save money, carefully select weapons that you will use until the end of the main story and upgrade them. Selling upgraded weapons will increase their selling price but it doesn't cover the total cost. Therefore, it is recommended to think about which weapons you will use until the end and then upgrade them.

Use Exclusive Upgrade Tickets
When unlocking exclusive effects on a weapon, use the Exclusive Upgrade Tickets. Exclusive effects can be costly, but by using this ticket that can be traded for 30 Spinels, you won't have to spend any money.

Uses of Money
Used for purchasing weapons and items
Money is used for purchasing weapons and items. Weapons and items can be purchased from Merchants located in various places on the map, so check their inventory when you arrive at a location with a Merchant.
Prioritize Expanding Attache Case
Prioritize expanding the Attache Case. When the storage capacity is increased, the amount of weapons and items you can carry increases. This allows for a wider range of strategies. If you don't have any specific restrictions, such as a starting case limit, it is recommended to purchase this upgrade as a top priority.
