Avowed's Infinite Gold Glitch: How to Exploit the 'Nature vs. Nurture' Quest for Unlimited Wealth

In the sprawling, vibrant world of Avowed, a player's ambition can often outpace their purse. The early game, in particular, can feel like a constant scrounge for coins, with those shiny, high-tier weapons and armor pieces in merchant stalls just laughing at your meager savings. Farming gold the old-fashioned way—by battling through hordes of enemies—can be a real slog, a grind that tests patience more than skill. But what if there was a secret, a little trick hidden within the game's own quest logic, that could turn you from a pauper into a prince almost instantly? Well, grab your adventuring boots, because as of 2026, one particular exploit involving a pair of magical footwear is still letting players break the economy wide open.

The Glitch at a Glance: Flipping the Script

The heart of this infinite money machine is the side quest "Nature vs. Nurture." Normally, you'd start this ecological dilemma by speaking with Dolina at the Farmer's Market. But the glitch, cheeky as it is, asks you to do the exact opposite. You need to flip the script entirely. By heading to the Fortified Xaurip Camp first and seeking out Amadio the Hermit, you essentially confuse the game's quest progression in the most profitable way possible. It's like showing up for dessert before the main course—the game doesn't quite know how to handle it, and in its confusion, it leaves the vault door wide open.

Step-by-Step: Your Path to Riches

Here’s the breakdown of how to perform this lucrative little dance:

1. Find the Hermit First: Ignore Dolina completely. Make your way to the Fortified Xaurip Camp. You'll need to navigate some tricky terrain—think wooden platforms and cliff edges—until you find a cave higher up. Inside, you'll meet Amadio.

2. Hear Him Out & Agree: Listen to his plan to protect the land. When given dialogue options, choose the supportive one: "You're just trying to protect the land. I support that." This starts the quest from an unconventional angle.

3. Talk to the Farmers (The Brief Return): The quest will now direct you back to the farmers at the market. Speak to both of them about their "Xaurip trouble" and select "Maybe we can do something about it."

1. The Profitable Lie: This is the critical moment. Immediately after speaking with them, turn around and talk to them again. They'll ask how things are going. Here, you must choose the deceptive option: "[Lie] I took care of your problem. Call off the rangers." They'll agree, marking that part of the quest as complete. Honestly, it's a bit of a fib, but hey, all's fair in love and war... and video game economies.

2. Report Back to Amadio: Return to the hermit as instructed. Report your "success," and he will gratefully reward you with a pair of Wolf Boots.

The Infinite Loop: Where the Magic Happens

Now, here's where things get silly. After receiving the Wolf Boots, keep talking to Amadio. Instead of the conversation ending, he will repeat the final lines of dialogue for the quest... and hand you another pair of Wolf Boots. And then another. And another. You can literally stand there and have a polite, repetitive conversation that spawns an endless supply of boots. Each pair is worth a cool 300 gold coins. Just imagine it—a quiet hermit in a cave, slowly being buried under a mountain of identical footwear, all because of a friendly chat loop.

What You Need to Know Before You Start:

Why It Works (And Why It's So Fun)

The glitch seems to work because the game's quest logic gets its wires crossed. By initiating the quest from the "wrong" end, the completion flags don't set properly for Amadio's dialogue. The game thinks you're still finishing the quest each time you talk to him, so it keeps giving you the reward. It’s a classic exploit that turns a thoughtful side-quest about nature and settlement into a whimsical boot factory. For players tired of the grind, it’s a welcome shortcut—a little secret between you and the game's code that says, "Rules? What rules?"

So, if you're wandering the Living Lands in 2026 and find your coin purse feeling light, remember the hermit in the cave. With a bit of reversed exploration and a white lie, you can unlock all the financial freedom you need to face whatever threats await. Just don't be surprised if merchants start giving you funny looks when you roll up with a backpack overflowing with left and right boots. Happy hunting, and spend that gold wisely!
