The only way to make money in Moonlighter 2 is to sell relics to consumers. While it might sound simple, the game has many complex mechanics in play to help you sell relics, even the common ones, at a higher price. Here, we are going to look at the best way to make money out of Relics in Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault.
How to Sell Relics at a Higher Price in Moonlighter 2
Well, simply put, you must display all the relics on the store’s desk, and maintain a high quality to be able to get good prices when selling them. It’s not uncommon to get twice or even thrice the price of a relic by improving its quality. Here’s how you can do that:
- Performing the Modifier Actions: When you are collecting relics in the dungeon, pay attention to the modifiers attached to each relic. Some modifiers will state, “if another relic is burned, then this relic will get +5 quality. If you complete the task, the relic will get a quality boost.
- Talking to Silver NPC in Dungeon Run: Another way to raise the value is by getting a perk from the Silver in the ‘?’ tiles in the dungeon run. Here you will meet Silver NPC, who might offer a perk that instantly raises the overall quality of your relic by 20 or 5, or give you a different perk, such as defeating enemies, which will add a +2 quality to each relic in your inventory.
- Buying Relic-related Patches: Talk to Julien NPC and get some patches that will help you find Deluxe relics or turn each relic you find in the dungeon instantly to +5. Think of these patches as a bonus perk (can be swapped) to help you turn or find a higher version of relics on your run.
- Getting Relic Bonus Perk Pedestal: Selecting perks in the power-up pedestal that will help you get relic-quality boost perks.
- Unlocking Relic Perks: Talk to TOMO NPC to even get more upgrades related to relic quality perks. You will find her near the house, and she will sell a huge number of perks allowing you to expand the relic potential. You must complete the quest “The Archeologist” to unlock all of her research upgrades. I highly recommend upgrading the “Deluxe Relic Chance” upgrade to get a higher quality relic from the treasure box. These things will sell like hotcakes and earn you more than a hefty amount of money per relic sale.
Always read the relic descriptions to get the most out of their value. Even if the overall price tag for the relic is too low, the modifier can make a huge difference; it can either add a quality bonus to itself or another relic in the backpack.
Helpful Tips to Sell the Relics
The general rule here is the higher the quality of the relic, the bigger the asking price. Here are some of the other helpful tips regarding selling relics:
- Higher quality relics will sell at a higher price without manually inputting the number. Put the fixed price number on a relic, and it will automatically sell at a price that reflects the quality.
- Talk to the Countess NPC and buy display cases from her to raise the selling price for certain relics. Some cases are designed for uncommon rarity relics, while some focus on Epic or Rare kinds. The cases also influence and add bonuses of 10% to 30% to the selling value of relics.
- Display Cases: Items like Safe Display Case or Exclusive Display Case allow for the sale of certain relics at a 30 to 40% higher rate. It’s better to place almost all the Epic to Legendary relics in these cases to get more value out of them.
- Furniture Shopping: The countess also sells furniture that allows you to further extend the sale price for the relics. Furniture such as Extreme Melody (Found in Kalina): Allows for the sale of legendary relics at 40% or Charm Garden (Found in Tresna): Allows for Epic and Rare relics to be sold at 100%.
- Avoid excessively high price tags on relics; settle for a good asking price. This will help you get the upgrades. Make sure to put up a huge sale, so you will reap the benefits of the tips and other perks in the Merchant’s shop.
You can raise your backpack space by talking to the Silver NPC in the area, south of the Merchant’s house. Make sure to carry a lot of relics before opening the shop, so you will get all the perk benefits. These are the best ways to make money in Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault.
