Gold Farming Guide

Imperial Knights does not have a premium currency or in-game purchases, but gold management matters. Repair Kits cost 200G each, late-game equipment runs thousands, and the casino VIP room requires a significant bankroll. This guide covers the most efficient gold-making methods for each stage and route.

Early game — Route 1

Quick gold methods

Sell unnecessary equipment immediately

The game throws basic equipment at you. Sell duplicates and gear you will not use. Keep one good weapon and one good armor set per character.

Complete guild requests efficiently

Guild requests pay 100–500G depending on difficulty. Focus on:

  • Delivery quests (low risk, moderate reward)
  • Hunt quests in areas you are already visiting
  • Avoid exploration quests until you have the map memorized

Night work in Maldonia

After Day 3, night jobs become available. Maldonia night work pays 50–100G per session. Fast and reliable.

What NOT to buy early

  • Do not buy every consumable. Buy 3 Repair Kits and top up as needed.
  • Do not upgrade equipment until you hit a wall.
  • Do not spend gold on gacha until late game.

Mid game — Protea and Catacombs

Protea casino (Route 1)

The casino ship docked at Protea opens after the Cardinal. Slots and poker are available.

Slot machine optimal strategy:

  • Bet maximum on confirmed bonus patterns
  • Do not chase losses
  • Stop when you double your bankroll or lose 30%

Poker strategy:

  • Play conservatively early
  • Raise on good hands (pair, flush, straight)
  • Fold on garbage
  • VIP duels require 5000G entry but pay 15000G+ for wins

Protea night work

Night work in Protea pays 150–200G per session. Better than Maldonia.

Enemy farming

Casino Route 3 (Hertzots)

Route 3 unlocks the best casino in the game at Hertzots. This is where you farm gold if you want to max cards and equipment.

Golden Elephant trade:

  • Win Golden Elephants from slots (rare)
  • Trade 3 Golden Elephants for 1 Platinum Gacha pull
  • Platinum gacha has rare cards worth 5000–10000G each

VIP room:

  • Requires 5000G entry
  • Card duel NPCs with platinum rewards
  • Best gold-per-hour in the game

Slots confirmed patterns:

  • Three 7s = 5000G jackpot
  • Three same fruits = 1000G
  • Two 7s + any = 200G consolation

Late-game night work

Hertzots night work pays 300–400G per session. Best in the game.

Demon Core farming

Svalt Demon King drops Demon Cores. Farm him on New Game+ for 5000G per run plus cards.
