sell enemy drops
Metaphor: One of the main ways to create Reaves when you first start ReFantazio is by selling the materials that enemies drop when they are defeated. Some things are rarer than others and can be worth quite a bit of money, so if you’re in need of money in a pinch, consider spending the day crushing your enemies.
Once you have enough harvest, you can take it to almost any store and sell it for a profit.
Unlock the merchant archetype
Completing the Bullish Embargo Hunt and speaking to Brigitta (Igniter Merchant) on San Lumeo Street in Grand Trad unlocks the Merchant archetype, a leave-based class that uses money to attack instead of MP. Masu. When equipped to a protagonist, the Merchant archetype grants a special hero passive called Alchemy, which may grant additional bounties for defeating enemies in the overworld. If your Wisdom Royal Virtue reaches rank 2, you can unlock the Merchant Archetype starting on 6/11.
The best place to make money early in the game is the Tradia Desert. Here you can defeat weaker enemies in the overworld without participating in combat and use alchemy passives to earn extra cash. Enemies respawn as you go around the desert, so you can keep walking here as long as you like. Use Gallica to scan the area to see what you can easily pick up without fighting, such as packs of dogs. Depending on your level, sandworms and birds may require actual combat. We earn around 10,000 leaves per minute this way, making it a great way to make money in the first few hours.
Sell MAG on MAG Exchange
If you’re in a pinch and need money in Metaphor: ReFantazio, you can sell your MAGs at the MAG Exchange and give them to Reeve. The rate is quite low at first, but increasing Brigitta’s follower rank to 3 will unlock a better exchange rate. It goes up even more when you reach rank 6.
