How to Make Money in Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin

Money makes the world go round. Not just in the real world, but in Monster Hunter Stories 2 as well. Thankfully, making Zenny in Monster Hunter Stories 2 is a lot easier than it is in real life, but it’s still necessary, especially if you want to stand a chance against whatever fierce monsters are waiting for you outside of town. Here’s how to make money in Monster Hunter Shop 2.

How to farm Zenny in Monster Hunter Stories 2

You can earn Zenny by completing quests and selling items and equipment in MHS2.

Monster Hunter Stories 2 does a good job of balancing the difficulty, so you don’t have to put too much thought into it if you don’t want to. However, as you reach each new area, you’ll at least want to upgrade your weapons and armor, and that requires Zenny. A lot of it.

The best weapons and armor are extremely expensive. If you want to earn enough money to keep you competitive on the battlefield, you’ll need to complete quests or sell some goods. There are several ways to do this.

You can look for NPCs in town that have an exclamation mark icon above their heads. This icon means that person needs your help, usually to kill monsters or collect items for them. These tasks are best completed as soon as possible, or at least before you leave town.

Most of the items and monsters you need to find can be found while completing the main quests. This way, you can earn a lot of money while advancing the story.

If you have helped everyone in need, you can also visit the quest board for additional quests and rewards. These boards can be found in every town, so no matter where you are in the story, there will always be one available.

There are two types of quests on the quest board. Subquests are the same type of quests that NPCs prepare for you, while Trial quests require you to kill certain monsters to get Zenny and other rewards. Later on, you will also unlock Tournament Mode and Co-op/Versus quests, which can also be completed in exchange for Zenny and other various rewards.

Collecting Items

You can also sell items to increase your savings in MHS2. You need items and resources to craft weapons, armor, and consumables, so selling everything you own isn’t the best idea. But you can find rare resources during your adventures and sell them for a nice chunk of cash.

When you’re out in the wild, keep an eye out for items that are gold in color instead of their usual color. This indicates that these items are more valuable! Rare resources will also make a glittering sound when you’re near them.

You can also sell rare and valuable monster items to craft Zenny! Make sure you’ve crafted any weapons and armor you need before pawning more valuable parts.

Selling old weapons and armor

Upgrading your weapons and armor is essential to staying competitive in MHS2. Each new location has new monsters you’ve never encountered before, and they get stronger and stronger as the story progresses. Crafting new weapons and armor is an expensive endeavor. It can be a hassle if you need to grind for Zenny or monster parts, but on the bright side, it means you might end up with some very valuable gear!

After you craft better armor and weapons, there won’t be any reason to keep the old ones, so you might as well sell them to fund your expeditions.
