Dark Dullahan has a chance to drop a Zombie Mail, which is valuable and can be alchemised into a Platinum version though liberal usage of Saint’s Ashes, themselves rarely dropped by the Dark Minister enemy. Generally speaking, players do not spend a great deal of time here, especially given its relative closeness to the end of the game, but if you do then it’s best to give the above enemies the most attention, because they provide the best gold and loot combination. Alas, we’ll highlight a few recommendations regardless, the first of which is taking down some of the ‘dark’ enemy variations in Godbird’s Eyrie. We’re not sure why this is the case, because you’ll likely find yourself returning to the Isle of Neos more and more as the game progresses. In almost any other RPG game, the later portions of the adventure would continue to scale upwards in terms of both loot and gold, however as you can see here the latter doesn’t continue to grow. Mind you, if you’re as crazy about grinding and completing Alchemy recipes as we are, then you’re likely a bit overleveled and may find it a breeze! You won’t find a better farming location than this, so take whatever number you think you need and double or triple it you can thank us later. Gryphons will have an annoying breath attack and Hipsters can deal significant damage to your entire group, so you’ll want to restrict yourself to the Golems alone if possible. We will issue a note of caution, which is that other enemies in this area can be a bit of a pain to deal with, especially if you choose to visit the island earlier than the story dictates. They’re worth an immense amount of gold and should be liberally farmed until your coffers veritably overflow. On the western side of the island, which is where you’ll likely land in the grand scheme of things, you’ll find these large golden lads ambling around, waiting to be taken down. With good reason too, because it’s home to possibly the most profitable enemy that can be found in the entire game, the Gold Golem. As a bonus, they’ll even rarely drop the Prayer Ring, which is a fantastic accessory as well as a crucial Alchemy item for some powerful late game equipment.Īs noted above, the Isle of Neos is probably the most infamous of gold farming locations in Dragon Quest 8. We’d recommend running around a few locations, particularly the main descending steps in the Labyrinth, and specifically targeting the Goodybag as much as possible. These, combined with one or two of the others noted here, will often result in 300 – 500g from a single battle, which is fantastic for this point in the story. Now, the main reason for coming here is the Goodybag enemy, and at first glance the 106g might not seem like a great deal, but you should note that they’ll often be encountered in large groups. That location is Swordsman’s Labyrinth, which you’ll reach following the events at Pickham. Thus you shall require a great deal of gold, so pay a visit to some of the following locations and fill your wallet as much as possible! For 3DS players, bringing Red and her passive gold increasing skills from the Roguery tree is also highly recommended!Įnemy images used courtesy of the Wiki over at DRAGON-QUEST.ORGĪs much as our second recommendation is likely by far the best most ‘well known’ location for farming gold, this first choice is probably our overall favourite, and one that we’ll often return to until the ship becomes available. Further still, taking advantage of the Alchemy system will likely require a great deal of ingredients, and whilst it’s admirable to believe that you can gather everything from enemies on the map, the drop rate in DQ8 specifically will put a rather large spanner in those works. New locations regularly reveal themself as the stories progress, and they’ll almost always come with a bumper selection of new equipment, items and general desirables. Gathering a reasonable amount of gold is a point of consternation in almost every Dragon Quest game.
