There are a number of ways to get gold on Menewsha though I find the best is getting into conversations. That's when things really start stacking up. If you're curious
this thread goes over several more options for gaining gold but is by no means exhaustive.
I would also suggest checking out both Newbie Emporium and Green Mountain-- Green Mountain is only around for a limited time as it's a green themed discount shop open while we transition between St. Patrick's Day and the springtime this year!
