You're looking for the "Golden Touch" augment.

Not sure where you can get one though.

quote arachnophilia

if you know what you're doing at this game, by the time you CAN get one, it's already irrelevant. 50 gold for a kill isn't even that great when you're broke, but when you're sitting on an extra ten million and make a few thousand every five minutes, it's just a wasted augment slot.

^ This.

By the time you make the money to buy this shitty Augument, you could have invested in a Building. It's decent early in the game (Since that's when you need the most money), but after that it's rather uneeded. I'd rather invest my 6k into Stalls or the like getting about 200 every 5min rather than 50 coins per kill. That's just me though. It can be bought at the Gypsy Camp and in Bowerstone Market I believe.

quote swk3000

You don't even need to do that. You can make several thousand gold in about 5 minutes by buying up a vendor's entire stock (or at least what you can afford) while they're having a sale, then selling the items to a vendor who isn't having a sale. For example, if Bowerstone Blacksmith is having a sale on weapons, but the Oakfield Weapon Stall vendor isn't, then buy as many weapons from the Bowerstone Blacksmith as you can and sell them to the Oakfield Weapon Stall vendor.

eh, i don't even need to do that anymore. i just:

• start up a new character
• save, exit to menu
• load up my completionist character
• hit start on a second controller and begin a local co-op session
• load up my new save on there
• put all the profit over to my new character
• accept
• wait a few seconds until money comes in
• drop out, saving the new profile
• exit and don't save on the old profile
• load the new character, and play as the richest poor kid in albion.

it's simpler than it sounds, actually. but beginning a game with a good ten million makes everything simpler. it's also pretty funny, imo, to run around trying to scrounge up 5 gold coins for a stupid music box when i could just as easily buy everything in the entire country with the change in my pockets.

oh, and if anyone's interested, a variation on swk's method works really, really well in the first fable, where price is dictated by supply. so if a merchant has a ton of items, he'll sell them all for cheap. and if he has very few, he'll buy them for a lot. so the trick is to get a ton of something, buy up whatever the merchant has of that something, sell it all back to him, and repeat. a few hundred food items, and you're buying stuff for a few gold coins, and selling them for 50 or 100 each.

That works? Last I knew, the game saves automatically after giving someone something, so by the time you can quit, the game's already saved your loss of money. Or does that only apply to items?
