In The Blood of Dawnwalker, Denarius is the currency of the realm, and while it isn't all that tricky to come by, it is hard to accumulate large amounts that will allow you to purchase the best gear and items.
This is why you need to know the best money-making methods to ensure that you aren't just a powerful Dawnwalker, but a shrewd one when it comes to making your money work for you.
Here are some consistent ways to make cash in The Blood of Dawnwalker, so you're never short on coin.
Best Method: Selling Teeth
By far, the most efficient way we have found to make money in The Blood of Dawnwalker, is selling Shiny Teeth. What we call the Chip Skylark method.
To do this, you need to complete the Sanshani quest 'Pearly and Precious'. Where you will need to kill some bandits for a Sanshani, and then afterward, they will become a merchant that you can sell teeth to.
These will become regular drops when you kill humanoid enemies, and if you're constantly in combat, you'll rack up a lot of these. Then, once you have an entire mouthful, you can head back to the Sanshani who will be at the Yawning Burrow, and sell them for a tidy profit.
These sell for 173 Denarius each, so over 150 coins per kill in theory. Not bad at all.

Sell Valuables & Silver
Another great money-maker in The Blood of Dawnwalker is selling all your valuables, junk, and Silver. Valuables are things like Diadems, Goblets, and other luxury items with no other purpose than to be sold. These items can be sold to any merchant.
However, because Silver is a contraband item, you'll need to go to a specialist merchant in Swartrau City to sell it. But if you do, you'll fetch a pretty penny for it.
In short, if you see a valuable item or any silver. Grab that without hesitation, and head to Swartrau when you have a bag full.
Upgrade Bewitching Influence Early
This isn't so much a money-making technique as it is a supplementary add-on that helps make all these methods more profitable.
This is super helpful as it not only makes things cheaper to buy, but also gives certain merchants higher-quality items in their inventory for sale.
It also makes your selling prices 15% better. Meaning you'll be able to make more for every item you sell as soon as you upgrade this skill in the Witchcraft tree.
Loot Everyone & Everything
This sounds redundant, but I guarantee you, there are plenty of players out there who would turn their nose up at 10x Denarius.
Whether it be in containers around the city, in baskets in the mountains, on the bodies of corpses, or picked from a pile of bones. Every coin helps.
Almost every container you open will have a paltry amount of Denarius in there, and my advice is simple. Get in the habit of looting it, even if it's not much. As the saying goes, if you look after the pennies, the Denarii will look after themselves.
Sell All Your Common & Rare Gear
This is a tip for anyone who has cleared the first few hours of the game. Before long, you will have, at the very least, a build that is comprised of epic and legendary gear, with maybe a few rare items to fill spaces.
At this point, almost all green and blue-coded items become obsolete, even with item scaling factored in, as plenty of epic items will pop up along the way. So, feel free to pick up uncommon and rare items, especially if you have upgraded the Pack Mule Skill.
But get in the habit of selling these items when you get the chance. It's a lot better than them rotting away in storage.
Craft Consumables To Sell
If you're anything like me, you'll have used the consumables within the game that aren't healing items very sparingly. Which means that you'll likely have a whole bunch of crafting items in your bag doing nothing.
The best thing you can do with them is wait until you have an upgraded version of a recipe that sells for a whole bunch, and then craft and sell them in bulk.
For example, you can sell Potent Aetheric Attunement for 185x Denarius a bottle. Or sell Potent Razor Claw Vials for 81x Denarius each.
When exploring, think of these ingredients needed like a shopping list, and grab them anytime you see them. Then, sell your crafted items for a tidy profit.
