Thankfully, there is a way for gamers to get a lot of gold in a short time period. There are many other ways that take a lot of time, but this method is dependable and repeatable. Going from small-time to big shot in Lost Ark’s global trading market doesn’t take more than a day of work.
Find A Wandering Merchant
Wandering merchants pop up randomly in the world. There are a few ways to regularly track them down. Those in guilds can ask their friends to check the map quickly for the wheel icon. The conversation is a normal one in most guilds, so don’t feel bad about asking.

For those more alone in the world, after leveling up fast, just start porting from map to map. Those with a Crystalline Aura can do this for free. For everyone else, this will cost a little silver, but it’s worth it. Silver can be farmed easily but gold is much more difficult to stack up.
Buying And Selling Hot Items
Each merchant has some items that are small buffs that others can make themselves. But they also have cards, items required for the Adventurer’s Time, and achievement-based products. These are incredibly valuable and worth much more on the market than what they cost in silver. Check to make sure the item is listed as tradeable before buying.

Those who have hit fifty will have a checklist of what they need and they’ll be looking to complete entries and finish decks. Check other prices and offer a competitive price or one just lower than what the rest are selling for. Then, repeat the process of finding the wandering merchant, buying their rare stocks, and selling them for gold.
Other Ways To Get Gold
For those without the silver capital, it’s understandable that turning silver into gold with this process isn’t exciting. These other methods won’t yield as much gold, but they also won’t break the bank.

There are, of course, other ways to get gold, but these are among the most consistent. Plus, accomplishing these will usually yield some silver rewards as well, which, as detailed here, can be turned into gold.
