From the start of No Rest for the Wicked, it’s clear that money is hard to come by. There are no shortage of needs that will drain your wallet, from meal recipes to armor repairs. To afford the bare necessities and luxury purchases later down the line, making silver becomes increasingly important.
Unlike other games, looting fallen enemies gives you very little in terms of direct copper or silver. Although the average trash mob might have five coppers on them, this is far from a reliable source of income. Bosses such as Warrick the Torn, Darak Falstead, and more will likely require the Cerim to obtain multiple gear upgrades and repairs to progress throughout Sacra. Thankfully, there are far better ways to make silver in No Rest for the Wicked other than farming foes.

The visually stunning No Rest for the Wicked hits Early Access with a strong first footing, but QoL updates will sweeten the deal for early adopters.
Challenges And Bounties
The two best ways to make silver in No Rest for the Wicked are to complete bounties and to sell the items in your inventory. Farming mobs directly for coin is not impossible, although it is extremely time-consuming and ineffective. Unlike other soulslike games, mobs do not respawn after visiting a Cerim Whisper. Doubling back to past zones can allow new enemies to spawn, but there is no guaranteed encounter.
Breaking barrels and crates is also a great way to earn extra copper, but the amounts are usually minuscule and chances are up to RNG. Still, this is an easy-to-make fund for the occasional

Challenges and bounties given by Captain Randolph in Sacrament are the best way to get silver in No Rest for the Wicked. Randolph is conveniently located by the Cerim Whisper location in the city. You can gain access to Captain Randolph immediately after defeating Warrick the Torn and entering Sacrament, although many of the guard’s weekly bounties are best left for high levels. These side quests always reward significant amounts of copper or silver, always reflecting the challenge of the task.
Houses are essential to purchase once you have completed Of Rats and Raiders, but properties cost upwards of 25 silver pieces. Completing plenty of bounties is a quick way to become a homeowner in Sacrament.
Bounties run on a weekly and daily basis, cycling out to make room for new side quests. All tasks given by Captain Randolph ask the Cerim to take down specific enemies or optional side bosses. Daily bounties involve taking on packs of wolves or clearing the beaches of Mariner’s Keep of crabs, while weekly bounties pit you against much stronger enemies. Many of the daily quests are repeatable, which makes this a fast and easy way to build up your silver.

No Rest for the Wicked is a souls-like ARPG brimming with challenging foes, which means health bars and dodge rolling are both on the menu.
Selling Items From Your Inventory
Although enemies in No Rest for the Wicked rarely drop silver or copper, they do often drop items. If you travel for long enough along Sacra, you may start to notice duplicate items appear in your inventory. These items have no purpose other than to sell, although weaker items likely won’t fetch above a couple of silver coins. Still, this is a very easy way to start making money early on to afford your necessary expenses.
Keep an eye out for Fallen Embers. These are items that only become important once you hit the late game, but begin dropping from enemies as soon as you arrive at the shores of Sacra. Until you reach the Crucible, they are practically worthless and the silver you receive from selling this item is far more valuable than hoarding the Fallen Embers for later. In No Rest for the Wicked, challenging bosses will demand every ounce of your resources.
