How to unlock the Big Spender achievement in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - Definitive Guide

Alright spend 200k in gold, not really that easy if you are like me and save pretty much all the money you get, cause I mean let's face it, you can find way better weapons and stuff by looting the open-world than you can find in shops. And for training well you don't have 15k early in the game and by the time you do you probably already have 3 points in that skill.

Well for those of you who are like me and save money haven't really bought to many items besides lockpicks, and repair kits. Then this is for you.

Alright basically this is a really easy way to get the achievement...basically just play through the game like normal and save up money as you go. Once you amass enough gold so you have 200k and above head to the Plains of Erathell from Lorca-Rane in Daelntarth. The first area you come to is The Wolds. From there go three areas to the east toward Kandria. In the 2nd half of Kandria you will find a town called Mel Aglir. In the town there is a shop called "Kandrian Goods" go inside and talk to the shop owner.

He will have Chakrams for sale the most expensive one is 219k and another one is 212k just save before you talk to him then buy one of the Chakrams and the achievement will pop as soon as you exit the buying screen. (Found this while playing on my clan account)

*EDIT* Also if you somehow happen to be short on money somehow by then, there is this great continous quest in Ayten in "The Wolds" called Rogue Harvest that involves you collecting Freeman Armbands...about 20 armbands nets you about 35k ish.

Just a comment about what you said on training. If you want to get a point in something that you already are above the level of training then you can reset your abilities, get the training and then level-up again afterwards. A little expensive but well worth the point from the training, especially since gold isn't a major issue in the game for most people.

This achievement is pretty self explanatory. You simply have to spend 200,000 gold (cumulative) anywhere in the world. Keeping and selling loot the obvious approach to this but if you've got the gold, spending money on training speeds the process up quite a bit (as 1 basic level of training costs 15,000 gold each).

I thought I wasn't going to get this just playing normally, since the stores never seemed to have anything that was better than I had found as loot. But I got it without even trying, and with only having bought a few weapons and armor, so I think it includes things like paying to repair your equipment, removing curses and disease, training skills, etc.

I'm pretty sure it works for repairing equipment. I think I got it while repairing my equipment during the "Teeth of Naros" DLC, so it even keeps the tally through DLCs.

There is definitely something strange with this achievement. I got it after killing a bear... Wholly unexpected.

This trophy should come naturally as you progress through the game. A big help towards getting to this value is spending money on every skill trainer you come across as this gives you permanent skill boosts as well as spend a lot of Gold. Loot everything and stealing and fencing items are also a quick way of reaching this goal (as you will have a lot of gold to spend).

If you do not find yourself saving or spending a lot of gold, a quick way once you have over 200,000 saved up is to head to the town of Mel Aglir, locations east in the Plains of Erathell. In town there is a shop called "Kandrian Goods". Among his various goods are typically 2 Chakrams for sale, one is 219,000, the other is 213,000. Just be sure to save before you purchase and once you buy one of the Chakrams, the trophy should unlock.

Spend cash as you get it. You will likely have a few million with the game's completion so this achievement should come with ease. Just buy things you like when you feel comfortable doing so. Spending money on bribes, Fateweaving and training also counts towards this achievement.

You don’t need to have 200k gold at once. All you need to do is spent a total of 200k gold. I’m pretty sure you can find useful stuff in shops. Also, resetting your destiny, paying fines etc. also count.

You can spend it at the beginning, we go to The worlds, there in one of the houses the weaver of fate sits, we play bets with him, we lose, we give him the amount that was indicated in the bet, we win, we take double, with the help of the money we win you can learn skills from trainers. Well, while you are winning money and collecting the amount of waste for this trophy, it is better to do it with a weaver, since in the camp the woman cheats, and there is less chance of winning.

PS I’ll add that it’s better to go to the tavern where the weaver is when your level is 25-26, because... his rate will always be equal to 2024, you can be on the territory, but it is not recommended to enter, all because of the level of the script, if you enter below what is written, your rate will be lower accordingly
