Infinite Money Exploit in Baldur's Gate 3

Discover the ultimate Baldur's Gate 3 money exploit! Learn how to make merchants restock their wares by leveling up or taking a Long Rest to amass unlimited gold.

Earning gold in Baldur's Gate 3 can feel like a slow grind, usually involving defeating enemies, looting, and selling off unwanted gear. But what if I told you there's a way to bypass all that and become ridiculously rich? Yep, we're talking about an exploit that lets you generate infinite gold.

You can then immediately buy more Camp Supplies from them to fuel your next Long Rest, creating an infinite loop of gold generation. Leveling up is a bit more involved. Merchants don't just restock when you hit a new maximum level; they refresh every single time *any* character in your party gains a level. This means every time your party earns enough experience to level up, every merchant in the game will update their stock. You can then go back and steal from them all over again.
