A new mod for The Witcher 3 has overhauled the game’s economy, making it more rewarding for completing those witcher contracts.
Money in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt works in a pretty standard way you’d expect for an RPG. You earn cash by completing quests, or looting it from dead enemies and hidden treasure stockpiles.
It’s a fairly expected way to earn money in the game, considering the game is a role-playing game and you play as a character who completes contracts for monetary rewards.
However, one thing that The Witcher 3 doesn’t have is a proper banking system.
Sure, you can use the Vivaldi bank in Novigrad to exchange your hard-earned florens and orens for crowns, but there’s no real way to deposit your money and let it sit idle.
Bank System is a mod worth checking out
That’s where Witcher modder liludev came in with a mod to overhaul this system. The new Bank System mod from them dramatically overhauls how The Witcher 3’s economy works to allow you to deposit money into an account.
How the Bank System mod works is rather simple. Once you’ve installed the mod, go to Vivaldi Bank and deposit some money. After you’ve done this, funds will start accumulating as interest into your account on a daily basis.
The default interest rate is 1% per day, meaning if you had 1,000 crowns deposited into your account, you’d earn 10 crowns back in interest.
The maximum daily payout is also capped at 200 crowns, so a 20,000 crown deposit hits that daily cap and won’t earn you anymore.
If you’re not happy with the interest rate, liludev has also included a way to tweak the system to make it higher or low, where you can change interest from 0.01% to 10% per day, and the daily cap from 0 to 1000 per day.
Altogether, it’s a pretty neat mod if you want a new way to engage with The Witcher 3’s economy.
Making money, particularly in the early hours of the game, can be pretty tricky after all. So having a way to earn interest on your income is a good way of getting richer.
It also allows you to keep your money safe. The game has a few ways for you to lose money after you die, such as dying to city guards after causing some trouble.
So, keeping those doubloons safe in combat might be the way to go.
