(PATCHED OUT) Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire - Old Money Glitch (Can no longer be done)
NOTE: This was patched in 1.1 and no longer can be done.
A brief video to show how you can make as much easy gold as you please relatively quickly without using cheats (if you're trying to not disable achievements). If this is your first playthrough I do not recommend doing this.
Sell what highly valuable items you have to the fishmonger in Port Maje in the northeast section of the town, then have a stealthy character steal the items back. It your thief and the shopping character are in position, you can simply pause the game and alternate between the two until you have as much gold as you like.
This can be done anytime once you enter Port Maje, but early on you probably don't have the items or money to feasibly acquire a large amount of wealth and you may have to wait until you do. If you have some points in Berath's Blessings (from completing the achievements), you can spend 8 of them for 5k starting gold and the unique vendor in Port Maje (the Well-Travelled Merchant in the left side of the Market area). Buy his most valuable stuff and you should quickly get the funds to buy his entire stock to flip with the fishmonger.
