Sorry, but there are only two ways of making money in Witcher 1 worth discussing: paid quests and poker.And poker is definitely better ot those two. All the rest is wasting time. Especially harvesting herbs/ingredients for selling it for 1 or 2 orens to Kalkstein, and collecting Salamander badges for mere 10 orens each. Sure, You can esily get 30 or 50 of htem during Your fights against Salamander (worth 500 orens), but You can easily earn more money in just 3 or 4 poker plays. In just one poker play You can get more than by selling ingredients obtained during few HOURS of playing ( I mean REAL HOURS, not hours in the gameworld). Not mentioning, that idea of 'collecting everything' is just stupid- You really do not neet 50 beers (almost worthless), and Your inventory is limited. BTW, because of poker obtaining that 5K for The Jacket is incredibly easy. I am just now replaying Witcher 1, and just after Chepter 1 I have over 3500 orens- just because I played poker with everyone I could a few times (and I bought a few books, too). In fact, poker is breaking this game (as well as stupid 5K price for that rag). Trading food for roses - well, if You are heavily against poker and You do not touch the dices, then You can be a small trader, but for me this is just terribly boring. I prefer to play 'genetically engineered killing machine', not a small business florist.
