To build up your coin stash you'll want to watch for specific opportunities at key spots especially the Zhelejov Wagoners' Inn where fistfighting tournaments happen regularly. The timing on these fights is crucial, wait for your opponent to telegraph their swing before dodging and countering since landing clean hits earns you up to 310 Groschen per victory. Getting into dice games at taverns can multiply your earnings fast but save before gambling big and position yourself near merchants who'll give better prices for your loot.

A really solid approach is hitting up those "Melee at the Mill" events, where you're looking at 155 Groschen minimum if you can read the attack patterns right. Keep an eye out for bandits too since their gear sells nicely, just remember your horse can carry the heavy stuff and stay close to main roads for quick escapes. When you're between fights the Lion potion brewing loop is pretty reliable, gather ingredients during your travels and mix them up whenever you've got downtime.

The more challenging stuff like "Wine, Women and Blood" competitions really test your combat timing but they're worth it for the 550 Groschen payout. Watch the enemy stance carefully, they'll usually lean back slightly before throwing their power attacks which is your cue to slip in with counters. Mixing up these activities while keeping your inventory managed is key since being overencumbered will get you killed fast when trouble shows up.
