Best methods to earn Silver Coins in Rise of the Ronin
There are three ways for you to earn Silver Coins in the game. First, by completing Ronin, Bond, or Grass Roots Missions, you’re rewarded with a few Silver Coins alongside other items. Considering that running all the missions available on the map has other advantages, like leveling up your character, this is a win-win situation.
The second method you can utilize is sending your Pilgrim Dog to catch you some money. At the beginning of your time in Yokohama, you unlock the Pilgrim Dog, a system that allows you to send a dog to pilgrimage with a certain amount of money.
After some hours, the dog will be back and the rewards you earn depend on how much money you put into their bag. In most cases, the Pilgrim Dog always come back with a few Silver Coins, so it’s worth always sending them as soon as they are back.
The last method is to complete the photography challenges in the game’s map. After you complete the Locating the Camera Mission, camera symbols will appear on the map. By visiting these locations and taking a picture of the correct subject, you earn some rewards and Silver Coins are some of them.

The Black Marketeer and Trader are NPCs you find in many locations - even in rooms before boss fights - sell you a considerable number of items. They usually have good pieces of equipment for you to buy using Silver Coins. You can buy furniture, the Brush Kit that you need to respec, and gifts to give to characters you have established bonds with.
The last three characters who exchange items for Silver Coins are the Photographic Studio, Cat Collecting, and Officer NPCs. By talking to them, you can see what items they have to offer. Among them are great pieces of equipment and furniture. Another great type of item they usually sell is the Treatesis, consumables that give you Skill Points or Rare Skill Points, depending on the type.
