The key here, like with that method, is to farm gold in The First Descendant by completing a very short mission as rapidly as possible, over and over again, though this time you’ll find it in the Echo Swamp. There’s other things that you can do to maximise output and earn more gold quickly, but for the time being, here’s the ultimate Gold Farm in The First Descendant.

You won’t unlock Echo Swamp as an area itself until you complete the Executioner Void Intercept fight, but once you get there, here’s the process for farming gold:

Once you get a feel for the mission and its route, you can complete this mission comfortably in under a minute, and maybe about 30 seconds if you’re very swift. Players on normal difficulty can expect to farm 13k-18k gold on each loop, while those on hard mode can expect 60-70k gold. Not only that, but each enemy you kill contributes to the gold total - which is why there’s some variation in these numbers, and why it’s better to play solo (stopping others from stealing your kills).

He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe.
