Showing how you can get as much money as you desire in Breath of Fire 2. This is not really a glitch, it's normally achieved very early into the game.

First of all, you need to get the normal carpenter, not one of the other two (who are less useful in comparison). Only the normal carpenter allows cooking, and cooking is good for so many things: restorative items, buff item magic, stat maxing (I'm not using any vitamins on this playthrough though) and also getting a lot of Gil quickly and without fighting battles. This is especially good for LLGs, but any playthrough could make use of it. Some of the endgame equipment is otherwise very expensive if you don't do this trick and you'll have to grind to be able to afford those Medusa Shields and whatnot.

So, anyway, the earliest you can get it is right after the normal carpenter builds the township and you can start cooking. For easy cooking, you want to hire Hanz (5th house) from HomeTown and just fill your inventory with Cond Ups and cook three of them for a GoldBar, then sell the Goldbars you've got and repeat the process until you have as much money as you please.

However, many people who play a perfect game of some sort may not intend to hire Hanz. I didn't on this playthrough. A very reasonable alternative for house number 5 is Yozo from Windia who increases one character's max AP by 16. Now I really regret wasting this house on him, because I used Yozo's service on Katt to give her like twice as much AP. While she could cast Bolt X after that, I actually never used it - not once - on my playthrough because Katt's physical attacks were always more damaging and by the time she gets her Devil form there are gradually less enemy parties with more than one monsters. And really, you use Bolt X and then you have no more AP to cast it any more? I really shouldn't have hired Yozo and got Hanz on this run instead.

This video shows the method of getting the ingredients without Hanz. Hanz can be hired as soon as Jean joins your party, but my method is only possible after you have Grandpa the whale. It is also more time-consuming, but less so if one of your characters knows Warp. Bleu starts with this spell, by the way.
