Imperial Knights gold farming guide
Maximize gold income through casino, night jobs, enemy drops, and route-specific strategies.
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
Farm these enemies for drops to sell:
| Enemy | Location | Drop | Sell Price | Farm Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skeleton | Catacombs | Bone | 20G | Fast |
| Dark Mage | Catacombs | Magic Dust | 50G | Medium |
| Orc | Highlands | Iron Scrap | 30G | Medium |
Late game — Spirit Cave and Svalt
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.
