Project Gorgon Money Making Guide
Making money in Project Gorgon is not really about grinding one spot forever as it is in some other MMOs. Councils come from stacking systems like combat drops, chests, favor, work orders, and repeatable routes. When you rotate content and play around timers, money starts to feel steady instead of scarce.
This guide focuses on reliable councils from a fresh character through the mid game, without relying on flipping markets or endgame setups.
The Core Money Loop That Always Works
Every strong money method follows the same basic loop.
Enter content that drops gear or materials
Convert those drops into councils efficiently
Rotate to another activity while timers reset
Repeat instead of brute forcing one area
Players who stay broke usually skip the rotation step and sell everything the wrong way.
Early Combat Money Routes That Pay Off
Serbule Hills Spider Cave
This is one of the first places where gear and money overlap.
What makes it useful.
A hidden chest near the entrance with sellable gear
Group spiders and the mega spider drop higher value items
Drops work well for vendors or early work orders
This is starter cash, not a forever grind.
Serbule Sewers
Reached through the underwater entrance east of Serbule Cape.
Why it works.
Dino and slime drops are used in crafting
The end chest drops level 20 gear that vendors well
Much lower competition than surface zones
This is a strong option when Serbule itself feels overcrowded.
Serbule Crypts Chest Loop
Southwest of Serbule Keep.
This is where money farming becomes intentional.
How to run it.
Enter and hit the main chest path
Exit instead of pushing deep
Rotate to other content
Return after the roughly 1 hour chest reset
Level 15 to 20 gear adds up quickly when sold correctly.
Repeatable Quests That Generate Councils
Orland And Ronland Den Quests
Once you reach around level 20, these quests become extremely efficient.
How they work.
Orland sends you to kill the Keeper
Completing that unlocks the Denmother quest
Both quests are repeatable
Payout includes thousands of councils and valuable gems. Even running these once per day is worth the time.
Why Vendors Stop Buying Your Loot
NPC vendors have weekly spending limits. When you hit that cap, they cannot pay you until reset.
The fix is favor.
As favor increases.
Vendor weekly caps increase
You can sell more gear without hitting a wall
Example.
Joeh in Serbule buys armor and weapons. He likes meat. Feeding him cooked meat raises favor, which raises how much loot he can buy from you each week.
Favor is often the hidden bottleneck.
Work Orders Are Where Money Gets Consistent
NPC Industry Boards
Found in towns like Serbule.
Important details.
Orders reset every few hours
Each order can only be completed once every 30 days
They pay councils and Industry XP
Industry matters later for player stalls and passive income.
Player Work Order Boards
Located near the player stalls in southern Serbule.
Why this is huge.
High level players post buy orders for materials
If you already have the items, payment is instant
Councils go straight to your wallet
Always check this board before vendoring materials.
Non Combat Money Paths That Add Up
Surveying
Surveying lets you find gems and crystals that players constantly need.
Why it works.
Gems sell well to players
Some can be vendored in emergencies
Very low risk
Blue and red surveys are especially useful early.
Skinning
If you kill animals and skip skinning, you are throwing away money.
Leather is always in demand
Used in multiple crafting skills
Sells reliably to players and NPCs
Cooking
Food supports nearly every money path.
Cooked meat sells to vendors
Builds favor
Upgrades into higher value meals later
Cooking quietly amplifies everything else you do.
Items You Should Never Vendor Blindly
Some items look like trash but are extremely valuable to players.
Always keep or sell to players.
Stomachs used for cheesemaking
Strange Dirt for gardening
Empty Bottles for alchemy and water collection
These often sell for far more than NPC prices.
Burst Cash Through Combat Training
If your build is solid, Luger combat training becomes an option.
How it works.
Pay an entry fee
Fight timed golem encounters
Beat the timer to earn large council payouts
Not for fresh characters, but very efficient once viable.
Note: We don’t make video content, but here is a solid new video you can watch by Deadmanfred on the topic as well.
Final Note
Money in Project Gorgon comes from planning, not grinding. Rotate chest routes, run repeatable quests, check player work orders daily, and build favor early. When you stack systems instead of farming blindly, councils stop feeling rare and start feeling reliable.
