Earning money in Hogwarts Legacy can take a while, but these YouTubers have made great strides in turning one of the game’s most questionable mechanics into a veritable money grinder.
To circumvent the standard system of selling unwanted gear, especially if you still need to figure out how to open those Hogwarts Legacy Eye Chests, YouTube channel Arekkz Gaming (Opens in a new tab) has developed its own system. In a video you can watch below, they demonstrate a strategy for catching wild Puffskeins in the Forbidden Forest to then sell them to Hogsmeade’s pet shop, Brood & Peck.
Arekkz Gaming’s strategy for getting unlimited Puffskeins (and therefore unlimited money) is to quickly return to the Forbidden Forest fireplace flame after farming all available wild Puffskeins in the nearby Puffskein’s Lair, advancing the game clock in the map menu to prompt mobs to respawn
Capture or, as the game says, rescue – Wild Creatures can be unlocked by playing Main Quests, so you’ll need the Hogwarts Legacy Room of Requirement before you even think about finding a furry friend. It turns out that if you run out of space for them in your nursery, Puffskeins cost 120 gold each.
While this is a clever farming hack, fellow YouTuber TagBackTV (Opens in a new tab) takes magic farming even further with his own infinite money strategy. For this cheat, you’ll need to have completed both the main and side quests up to Deek’s house-elf quest, Foals of the Dead, where you’ll learn how to breed creatures in your Vivarium. TagBackTV turns the incredible mechanics of capturing and breeding creatures into a lucrative financial opportunity, portraying it as a passive income stream when you breed and then sell the offspring of creatures to Brood & Peck.
Something heartless? Probably, but it seems to work if you find cash to be a struggle in the mid and late game. And think of it this way: the creatures you raise in captivity are at least safe from (other) poachers, right? That’s certainly what you can tell yourself when you’re selling Highwing’s cute babies for a paltry profit, so there better be no morality system or bad ending in Hogwarts Legacy to give you pause. twice.
