Making money in Longvinter is relatively straightforward regardless of if you’re looting or taking out packs of wolves like some kind of wilderness assassin. Here’s a rundown of the best money-making methods (earning MK), from easy beginner tips to high-profit hunting and fishing strategies.
Step 1: The Lazy (But Effective) Tent Strategy
If you have a tent, congratulations—you’re now the proud owner of a temporary, slowly decaying home. Until you upgrade to a cabin, your tent will eventually vanish into the void, along with all your dreams of homeownership.
For now, use this to your advantage. Go to high-loot areas (hangars, storage buildings) completely empty-handed, grab whatever junk you find, and sell off the useless stuff at vending machines. If you get lucky and find some spawned chests, you can easily make a few thousand MK per trip.
Upgrade That Tent ASAP
Before you start rolling in MK, you should focus on upgrading your tent into a cabin so it won’t disappear into nothingness.
Start chopping wood and toss it into the workbench.
Once you’ve got a cabin, you can stop worrying about your house evaporating overnight and start completing your compendiums.
To check your compendiums, press Tab, click the blue book tab, and you’ll see everything you need to collect to unlock better vendors and rewards.
Step 2: The Classic Money-Making Methods
Fishing: The Reliable Choice
Fishing is one of the most consistent ways to make money.
Mrs. Snow pays well for fish, and if you know where to go, you can farm some serious MK.
The lake north of Sgt. Lake’s Dock is a great spot to catch Whitefish, which sells for around 300 MK per fish.
For even faster profits, use:
Bait Buster Reel (+50% fishing speed)
Fishing Hat (+35% fishing speed)
Reel of Fortune (prevents fishing spots from depleting)
Head to Toilet Harbor, bring three Bags of Worms, and fish in the safe zone for 10-15 minutes per run. If done right, you can make 30,000–50,000 MK per trip.
Wolf Hunting: High Risk, High Reward
If you prefer violence over patience, hunting is another great way to rake in MK.
Head north to Sakabban, where wolf packs spawn.
A four-pack of wolves takes three shots each with a bow (so 12 arrows total).
Arrows cost 300 MK for five, so taking out a full pack costs about 750 MK in arrows.
Each wolf pack drops loot worth around 6,500 MK, plus extra meat.
A full run of five wolf packs can net you over 30,000 MK in just 10 minutes.
If you can handle the cold and the chaos, wolf hunting is one of the fastest ways to get rich.
Step 3: House Maintenance & Long-Term Goals
Now that you’re rolling in MK, don’t forget to maintain your house.
Add wood daily so your cabin doesn’t fall apart like your tent did.
If you’re making good money, consider upgrading to a house for more space and storage.
A fully upgraded house unlocks electricity and a second floor, so you can truly flex on your neighbors.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re fishing for profit, hunting wolves for sport, or just grabbing random junk from storage buildings, there’s no shortage of ways to make money in Longvinter. If one method isn’t working out, switch it up. Loot, fish, hunt—just don’t stand around broke.
