How to Make Money Fast in KOTAMON — Farming, Selling & Trading
Updated 2026-08-23
The fastest ways to earn in-game cash in KOTAMON: efficient farming routes, what to sell vs keep, and how to reach $1,000,000.
Income sources ranked
The best income sources are, in order: repaired rare cards, foil card sales, hidden treasures, repaired common duplicates, and raw common cards. Never sell damaged rares without repairing them first.
Efficient early route
Start at the Starter Dump for quick commons, move to the North Junkyard for rare Red cards and the Metal Toolbox, then loop to the Riverbank Dump for water-damaged Blue cards. Repair everything valuable before selling.
What to sell vs keep
Sell duplicate commons. Keep one of every card for set completion. Keep all foils unless you have duplicates. Sell treasures only after you have extracted any cards or tools. Cereal boxes can be sold early for a cash injection or saved for foil pulls.
Trading for profit
After unlocking the Trading Post, buy undervalued rare cards and resell them when the vendor price is higher. This requires knowing daily prices, but it is one of the fastest late-game money makers.
The $1,000,000 goal
The game's subtitle implies earning $1,000,000 is a major milestone. Reaching it requires consistent rare/foil farming, treasure hunting, and smart trading rather than selling every common card you find.
Money-making mistakes to avoid
Selling cereal boxes too early. Ignoring repair value. Throwing away damaged rares. Farming the same low-value pile forever. Use the Tracker and location guides to target high-value zones instead.
