How to Make Gold in Moonlighter 2

How to actually make gold in Moonlighter 2

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is an action-RPG roguelite where the real profit comes from the shop, not the sword. You dive into dungeons, haul relics back to Tresna, then set prices and read customer reactions. Win the shop game and you fund every weapon, perk and town upgrade. Here’s how to maximise your gold.

Master the four price tiers

Every relic has an optimal price. Set a number and watch the customer:

• Cheap — underpriced. They buy instantly, but you leave gold on the table. You still earn Shop Perks.
• Perfect — the sweet spot. A red “Perfect Stamp” appears, customers are happy, and you earn Shop Perks that compound your income.
• Expensive — above optimal but still sellable. They buy, but you get no Shop Perks from the sale.
• Overpriced — too steep. Regular customers refuse and walk out.

Always aim for Perfect. Each reaction is saved to your Codex, so you never re-guess a relic you’ve already priced.

Stack Quality points for +5% each

Relics have a Quality value. Every Quality point adds +5% to the selling price, and this scales indefinitely. Quality is changed by how relics sit next to each other in your backpack — curses like Burn, Shock and Petrify from one relic can raise (or lower) a neighbour’s quality. Stack Quality on high-rarity relics first, because +5% of a Legendary is worth far more than +5% of a Common.

Watch the daily popular item

Each day the shop highlights a popular item type. Stock that category and sell it that day for a bonus. Plan your dungeon routes so you return with relics that match the day’s demand — that’s where income spikes happen.

Arrange your backpack like a puzzle

Your backpack is a grid where relic placement matters. Curse-bearing relics (Burn / Shock / Petrify) can buff or destroy neighbours. Save your curse-modifier relics and place them next to expensive targets to boost their Quality, not next to cheap filler.

Reinvest, don’t hoard

Expand your shop (25,000g then 50,000g) as soon as you can — more display cases means more simultaneous sales and a bigger robot chest. Pour gold into the blacksmith for weapon upgrades and the Merchant skill tree for permanent pricing perks. Hoarding gold stalls your progression; the loop rewards reinvestment.
