A cheap yet effective way to farm gold is to use the Moldy Carrot farming method. This has since been patched but can still be done if you unpatch prior to starting a new game. After you patch as with most games you CANNOT hence unpatch and go back to doing this as it will most likely require the patching to play.

The method is as follows:

Hire some big pawns, ideally the one's that can carry ALOT of weight.

Unequip them aswell as yourself storing your items. (If you have the Gold Idol, or it's forgery you can gain more cash as the Carrot price will be reduced to 52 gold as compared to 75 gold per)

Fill up all your pawns inventories with Carrots from Iola's shop just down the road from the inn. You may have to wait as she tends to wander in the morning the the house under her shop back to her shop.

Head back to the Inn, sleep for 3 days till morning! NO MORE, as the carrots will rot and you will essentially bankrupt yourself.

Head to the general store, or anyother shop and sell all your Moldy Carrots for 165 gold each.

Rinse and Repeat until amount desired is obtained.

A word of warning though, this tends to make buying and enhancing gear not as fun as it should be. It is ill-advised to do this over 50,000,000 Gold as at that point you'll be able to go more or less through three or four NG+ regearing SUPPORT pawns over and over to your liking.

Using this in combination with buying a few hundred Empty Vials and stopping by the Healing Spring for some effective healing both mid  to late game sets you up very nicely for a long term leveling spurt.(Once you get to Gran Soren, consider buying Large Mushrooms in equal parts to your Spring Water, to support stamina consumption and long treks early on.)
