Sell Enemy Drops
One of the main ways of making Reeve when first starting Metaphor: ReFantazio is by selling the materials that enemies drop when defeated. Some are rarer than others and can be worth a decent amount, so if you need money in a pinch, consider spending a day grinding enemies.
Once you’ve got a good haul, you can take it to almost any shop and sell it for a profit.
Unlock the Merchant Archetype
If you complete the A Bullish Embargo Hunt and speak to Brigitta (the Igniter Merchantess) on Sunlumeo Street in Grand Trad, you’ll unlock the Merchant Archetype, which is a Reeve-based class that uses money to attack instead of MP. When equipped to the Protagonist, the Merchant Archetype grants a special Hero Passive called Alchemy which has a chance of awarding extra money when you kill enemies in the overworld. You can unlock the Merchant Archetype from 6/11, provided you’ve got your Wisdom Royal Virtue to rank 2.
The best place to grind for money in the early-game is the Tradia Desert. Here, you can defeat weak enemies in the overworld without needing to engage in battle and earn extra cash using the Alchemy passive. You can grind here for as long as you like, as enemies respawn as you loop around the desert. Just make sure you scan the area using Gallica to see which ones you can pick off easily without a fight, like the packs of dogs. Depending on your level, the sandworms and birds may require an actual battle. We’ve earned around 10,000 Reeve a minute with this method, making it a fantastic money-making method in the first few hours.
Sell MAG at the MAG Exchange
If you’re in a pinch and need money in Metaphor: ReFantazio, you can sell MAG at a MAG Exchange for Reeve. To start with, the rate will be pretty low, but if you increase Brigitta’s Follower Rank to 3, you’ll unlock a better exchange rate. And if you get her to Rank 6, it increases even more.
