How to unlock the Order of Hoarders achievement in Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove - Definitive Guide
Go to the Plains. It's the easiest level and pretty easy to get through unscathed. You can get 5,000+ gold each run through the level if you go for everything. In no time you can finish up at have 50,000 gold on you.
EDIT: As mentioned by BIG L RETURNS, if you die, you will lose a percentage based on your current gold total. On your next life, you will need to get those bags back or lose them forever. If you do die, you can consider returning to the title screen rather than losing by returning to the map and having to regain the gold.
Plains is definitely a great level to do this on. However every time i successfully completed a level I would save over my existing file and if I died I would just revert back to that save just to be safe and not lose everything.
Complete the game making sure you buy everything in your first run, all relics, all amour, all shovel upgrades, all health, all magic upgrades. This will get you Decked out
Then restart the game on new game + and you will have all your upgrades still in tack, there is no need to buy anything so you will pick up Penny Pincher
Just go through the game normally and you will come close to 50k, you get around 5k each level for beating it without dying. IF you die in a level and then think you are going to lose a lot of gold pause and quit the level, you will return to the number of gold you had before you started the level. If you need to grind a bit at the end then just keep replaying plains.
Continue on completing new game + to pick up Again!
As the trophy states, you have to have the full 50,000 Gold on you, as it is NOT cumulative. It is unlikely that you will have this by the end of your first playthrough, unless you went out of your way to get as much treasure as possible while spending very little, or possibly none at all. If you want to farm for extra Gold, you can always replay stages that you have already completed, as the Gold pickups in the stage will be back again, including the Chests.
As soon as you hit 50,000 Gold on hand, the trophy will unlock. There is no need to complete the stage after that, unless you want to keep the Gold that you have earned on that stage.
