Basically, if you go to the Tavern Master and buy a series of lanterns at seven coins, you can then sell them back to the Woodsman for ten coins, giving you three coins of profit each time. Given that they’re both under the ‘travellers and merchants’ tab, this is a very easy way to farm gold.

Well, not anymore, as Ironmace confirms via Discord that, if you do exploit this bug, you will likely be hit with a ban.

“Thank you so much for joining us on our Early Access launch,” writes Graysun. “There are a few critical bugs right now we are taking care of before we start Season 1. Abusing some of these bugs to gain high amounts of wealth can result in-game suspension, or the deletion of your character. Please be fair to the community you are part of, and report these bugs rather than abusing them.”

A Discord comment from Dark and Darker developer Ironmace on gold exploits in early access
Given the issues that New World’s infinite money glitch presented (I cringe slightly at the memory), it makes sense that Ironmace are bringing down the hammer. After all, the Dark and Darker economy is at stake, and I hear that’s a bad thing.

What isn’t a bad thing, though, is getting prepared to venture into all of Dark and Darker’s various dungeons. I suggest checking out our list of all of the best Dark and Darker classes, as well as our general Dark and Darker guide to get the edge on the beasties that lie beneath.
