Lucre, the in-game currency of Visions of Mana, can be tricky to accumulate, especially when you constantly need to purchase new gear and items for battles. Fortunately, the game offers several ways to ensure you don’t run out of money if you actively engage with its systems.
Here are some effective methods to earn more Lucre:

Method 1: Complete side quests regularly
As you progress through the game, more side quests become available. Take the time to complete them for various rewards, including Lucre, to keep your equipment updated and item stock replenished. Check the rewards beforehand, as some quests offer ability seeds or specific items like Gold Clovers instead of money.
Method 2: Open all chests on the map
While not all chests contain Lucre, many do, along with other helpful items. The game conveniently marks all chests on the map, making it easier for you to collect them if you’re willing to invest some time.
Method 3: Use Fortuneflies and money-enhancing items
Ample Incense and Rich Incense boost Lucre earned in battle by 10% and 15%, respectively, for 10 minutes. If the timer reaches 0:01 during a battle, you’ll still receive the bonus for that fight. Combine these items with Fortuneflies, green fairies that randomly appear on maps, for even greater benefits. Fortuneflies respawn after a while, allowing you to revisit them and reactivate the bonuses.
Additionally, you can save money by purchasing items with Grizzly Syrup or finding enough Lil’ Cactus on the maps to activate discount bonuses, providing long-term savings.
By focusing on these strategies, you’ll be able to earn Lucre more efficiently and enjoy the fantastical world of Visions of Mana without worrying about running out of money.
