Today, we take a look at various money exploits that speedrunners use in order to make fat piles of cash. These exploits generally consist of abusing oversights from the game developers. Whether it's messing with some sort of entity's parameters, or modifying the game's memory without external tools, we wanted to showcase some of the most genius exploits in speedrunning. There are dozens of other games out there with some sort of money exploit so if you know of any others that weren't featured, let us know in the comments section!

damn partnered with ps
Neither of the codes work for aus... :(
I just scrolled down screw you ps
I'm going in
EU code is expired 😞
Do a 180° no scope to kill mayor McCheese in a family guy game, that’s feels intended for some reason
pretty surprised you didn't mention skyrim's merchant glitch, which allows the player to trick the game into thinking that they're selling an item they're actually technically buying lol
loads a' money
Another great money exploit I love is the Cone Crazy exploit in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Cone Crazy is a brief side-mission where you drive through a couple checkpoints in a parking garage. The first time you beat the mission, you get $200. You can then replay the mission, and if you beat your previous fastest time, your payout doubles. So you'll get $400 the second time, $800 the third time, and so on. So speedrunners figured out they could get insane amounts of money if they beat it slowly the first time, then replay it over and over, beating their time by one second each round. The payouts get astronomical pretty fast -- after 10 rounds your payout reaches $100,000, and if you push it to the maximum of 23 rounds, you'll get $1.6 billion (though it displays as $999,999,999). I'm pretty sure the trick is no longer used in any category these days thanks to other tricks, but it's still a neat exploit imho.
technically not a glitch but a developers oversight ;)
but yeah i love that one too!
Let this be a lesson to any would-be game devs out there. Be very, very careful when implementing exponential increases of any kind. Because it is very easy to end up with stupidly large numbers, very fast.
he irony of speedrunners beating a timed mission slowly on purpose
9:00 I love how the level name is begging you not to do that
rarely am i this early, looking forward to this one tho, spiffing brit would love it
Haha
also in the simpsons hit&run because the source code got leaked there's currently a $500 bounty for anyone that can figure out a coin glitch that saves time over the 20 minutes spent coin grinding in 100% runs
There's a real-life money exploit where you win the Powerball, but it's so heavily RNG dependent so as to be considered TAS only.
I didn't think anyone relied on that due to the stonks exploit
Someone needs to share the safe human viable strat.
One of my favorite money glitches is from fable 1. It has to be the simplest, dumbest glitch in the world.
Shopkeepers will change their prices depending on how much stock of an item they have: items they only have a few of cost more to buy and give more money when you sell. Makes sense.
However you can buy and sell in bulk, and all the items in the transaction are valued at the same price as if you bought/sold one.
So the trick is:
- sell 100 carrots (high price because shop keeper has no carrots)
- buy back your carrots (low price because shop keeper has loads of carrots)
- repeat
At what point is it no longer a glitch and just a stupid intended mechanic?
@@NowWeLetsPlay I think that's why the video specifically calls them "exploits" instead of "glitches", because not all of them are glitches.
I love videos like this, and I have been starved for new content lately, so thank you EZ. RWhiteGoose mostly just talks about Goldeneye, and Jobst mostly talks about cheaters and lawsuits, so we need a general compiler for the speedrunning community. We used to have Apollo Legend, but I am hopeful that EZ will take up the mantle.
All games should have a No Drug% category where the speedrunner has to pass a urine test with their submission.
Boooooooring
Max Drugs% would also be interesting
@@jaxblonk5127 this, but for the olympics
I bet a lot of runners dope using addys or smoke weed. Feels either zen or hectic.
10:07
"And the police *think* repurposed salt is illegal"
They don't think so, that is illegal. Selling something and pretending its a narcotic is a crime
In Final Fantasy 2 for PS1, PSP and GBA when you get access to the Snowcraft and travel to the Snow Cave (around 30 minutes into the speedrun) you can play a matching minigame with a large amount of money as a prize for making 0 mistakes. Since the game only generates a set of 32 puzzles on a rotation you can memorize the pattern of the first puzzle, then quickly start and quit the next 31 puzzles, and play the first puzzle again. By doing this you can make enough money to get through the game in under 3 minutes.
One of my favorite money exploits is in Skyrim, where you can desync the shop menu to sell merchants their own inventories, allowing you to acquire all the gold in their shop while also power-levelling speech
I’m pretty sure this works in Fallout 4 as well
A tiny nitpick, but E5 probably means 229, not 255 which would be FF
If you were to perform this glitch and check the inventory before selling anymore the amount reads 255. I'm not disputing what E5 means cause I have no idea. But it does under flow to 255
Ok, I just absolutely love the fact there's a drug dealer simulator speedrun that's just about giving out SALT to people.
And what makes it even better is the fact the police arrest you for giving people random bags of salt.... lol.
Some idiot got arrested in Bali for being in possession of a baggie of white powder. It turned out he'd been scammed and the "drugs" he thought he had bought was actually a few crushed-up Over-the-counter painkillers.
There are so many money glitches that this could become an entire series on its own! I expected the original Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered, which both have entirely different money glitches.
I have to say you speak way to fast and hard to understand. Don’t rush speaking with a great video content
Economic inflation but awesome
Reminds me of an exploit I used to so in Chibi Robo. Fairly early in the game, there's an NPC who allows you to play a double-or-nothing mini game, where you can bet your money and there's a 50-50 chance he'll either double it or take it. It's completely random, but you can save before talking to him and just soft reset if you lose. So with only like 10-20 minutes of resetting, you can get yourself enough money to buy everything in the game, fully charge Giga Robo's battery (very expensive and necessary for story progression), and max out your own battery life.
I've never seen a speedrun of the game, but I imagine this saves hours of grinding.
How they discover ones like like Pokémon one baffles me. It seems like the one of thing only a coder could back engineer.
My favorite money exploit is to use mane to cheat, then sue anybody who talks about it.
ive used the R&C 2016 money glitch before its so awesome just sitting there using the ryno constantly and just listening to the sound of the constant explosions is just so nice...
Lvl 25 (Drugless), also known as Summoning Salt
Ahhhhh, an EZScape video. Like putting on a warm sweater.
Thanks for the content!
The Spongebob speedrun strat reminds me a bit of how me and one of my buddies abused a ski-ball game in Showbiz Pizza (Chuck E Cheese's alt name). I was using a skiball ramp that they had built in a corner that was concealed from most of the staff. I was having a birthday party there so I had a decent amount of tokens as did my friend. Thing is, though, we were fed up with getting like, maybe fifty tickets which would get us some crappy plastic ring you can find in the discount bin of a dollar store, so, my buddy just walked straight up the ramp and I tossed him ski-balls which he repeatedly dropped into the bullseye and grabbed from the foul slot before it could roll down the internal lane and be inaccessible.... We both walked away with around 600 tickets a piece before someone announced over the PA "Chuck E Cheese say don't cheat at ski-ball" lol. This was around the late 80's early 90's so, to me at least, the only speedruns there were were timed chess tournaments... Had nooo idea that this would be a valid strat for a game like Spongebob...
If you're curious what 600 tickets got us... my friend settled for a sculpture made out of coal... which I thought should be more in an antique shop not a kids entertainment center... and I settled for a magnetic sculpture thingy and one of those things that you press pins in and it leaves an imprint of your hand or whatever you pressed against it. Yeah... even 600 tickets didn't get ya shit. I can't even remember how many tickets the NES or the small color TV was, all I know is that with our tickets combined we still couldn't afford either.
Currency exploits in online multiplayer games are so much more interesting. Having to think so far outside the box to trick the game AND server to duplicate is so much fun.
Ngl I’m probably going to do this for a video, solid idea.
That spongebob 1 was so awesome with it glitching back and forth for points!
Your channel would do a lot better if you adjusted your commentary to talk like a normal human being. Listen back to your voice, no-one talks like that.
You should definitely do a followup to this that talks about extremely fast leveling strats in speedruns.
One that I know of is the Full Tephra Cave Early skip in the original Xenoblade Chronicles & its slightly altered method in the Definitive Edition. It involves clipling through some weird geometry to reach a post-game area. There are no enemies loaded and no major obtainable items, however you gain exp in that game from visiting landmark locations. In the Definitive Edition this can jump you up 20+ lvls. This would take several hours of optimal play and some story battles to achieve normally.
RUclips vid of the unpatched DE method: ruclips.net/video/KyTPf9Hwie4/видео.html
Original Wii version speedrun: at around 19min he is hit up onto the ledge and essentially does the same loop backwards ruclips.net/video/SmQz9GCjgt4/видео.html
06:18 This is still an overflow glitch, not an underflow one. Underflow is a glitch that related to decimal flowing point.
what about selling a vendors own items back to them in Skyrim? not sure how much time it saves but its very useful when hiring the carts to go around the map for new locations
Do any speedruns even make use of that in a significant way?
Skyrim's extremely light on large categories, and stuff like any% barely even utilizes money.
I couldn't read while playing Breath of Fire 2 as a kid and did grind up the money to buy the character legitimately
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for doing what you do.
You'd think farming money in a game wouldn't be that interesting, but here it is, holding my attention.
A lot of these are fantastic. And I love that Breath of Fire actually allows you to do something that most games will only tease you with.
There's a Metal (money) exploit in Megaman X8. The game allows you to buy charge for your life tank for 50 metals, but due to some programming oversight, you are able to purchase this even if you have less than 50 metals. Doing this will cause your metal counter to show 0 until you enter a stage. When you do enter a stage, the first time you pick up a metal, it will cause you to underflow to the cap.
Funny thing is this happened to me when I was a kid playing the game and I had no idea why at the time (not that I really questioned it all that hard lol). I heard it was fixed in the Legacy Collection though.
How can I money exploit in the irl speedrun?
RNG start
That patron link not taking me to the right patreon page
Of all games, a 18 WOS game is definitely NOT something I expected to see
oh yeah. its tax evasion time
8:24 But you're forgetting one thing... what about THE BIKE?? You can't entirely buy the bike with that infinite money glitch. You should've said practically everything.
Huh, weird with the faerie glitch. FF is 255 in hex. E5 is 229. Odd for an underflow to jump to that particular number, unless E5 isn't hex, but maybe they built in enumerated error codes for testing and never took them out. This could just be Error #5. I'm guessing the people who found out how the trick works probably already thought of this and have explained it, but this is the first I've heard about it.
Funny how the Sackboy discount is worse than the sale I just bought it for, unless I'm remembering wrong. Edit: I'm wrong and why the fuck couldn't I see this video one day later?!
A video about weird categories of speedruns would be cool. Like, the category of the Drug Dealer Simulator game where you can't touch any drugs, or Ocarina but you can't open any doors, etc.
Daumn man the new RAC looks amazing. Too bad that the ps5 does not really exist. And that I am broke because I just got married.
item and money duping strats are always interesting to dive into
I found one in ratchet and clank rift apart for new game plus since you have access to the bolt drop modifier if you max it and kill the one scorpion boss it maxes your bolts instantly. Not sure if its intended to give that much or what tho but the clip of it is on my channel lol
Been a bit since I've seen your content. YT never notifies me, even with the bell clicked.
Wonder why.
Hey man I’m from the shop, I told you I’d leave a like and a comment. Love the videos and it’s always good to see ya!
You forgot Minecraft's Chest Cloning.
The Breath od Fire 2 money glitch is actually something I recommend to do if you want to play the game casually. Because it legitimately makes the game playable without hours of grinding.
Also the BotW glitch is just amusing, I mean it's just taking the guardian to the "bathroom". lol (This second part is ment to be a joke about how the parts just keep coming out.)
Holy shit im going to use that money exploit in BoTW now. No more breaking weapons to mine
I’d play breathe of the wild like that lmaooo sure it’s not intended but that sounds fun
Didn't he hop on the fuck Karl bandwagon?
wow thats a super long and complex way of find missingno on pokemon. just talk to the guy who shows u how to catch ur 1st pokemon then surf up and down on the right side of seafoam island (or whatever its called) (surf south from safari zone pokecenter) and hes there also u will find lvl 100+ pokemon including the last evos of the 3 starters and pokemon u cant find on the colour normally.
dont catch missingno tho it corrupts ur game file
I thought the dark souls remastered souls glitch would be here 😔
There is a really good money glitch in the original Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles where you can infinitely drop money using the gameboy player device. That combined with a weapon scroll drop (which is RNG) allows runners to get one of the most powerful weapons very early in the game.
How tf e5 = 255
thats... not how numbers work.
dying light is a good mention for money glitches btw
Drug Dealer Simulator is my favorite game!!!
IRL money exploit, go into a bank and sternly ask for money with your hand in your pocket and they’ll give it to you
I always wonder how some of the glitches are found but they are nice especially for destroying a game on your 2nd+ playthrough, only glitches I ever find are the really useless kind lol.
No selling of glitched items in Secret of Mana? Sad.
Well, it's not needed in speedrunning, I guess...
EZScape is back with the videos baybeeeee
Never wanted to play the new Zelda thanks to the speed runners foaming their pants over it...
That's a weird reason not to want to do something. A thing being popular doesn't mean it's good, but it definitely doesn't mean it's bad either.
But I like drugs
I did the freaking trick in BotW and it worked until the Switch told me the Software had rebooted since something unexpected happened… do someone know why ???
Might have just overloaded and crashed the game from loading in too many objects at once. You could maybe try it again and only do it for a short time before warping away.
@@eldonhill4840 how comes the runners can do it then ?
Infinite bolts in rift apart is a good one
Dosh.
GTA V Free Money Glitch
Holy shit are you actually back to making content for us? Please?
I need a money exploit in real life.
randomly went looking to see if I had missed an upload from you just today lol.
What Ratchet game was that at the end??
Neat list video! Thanks for uploading!
Isn't E5 229 though?
What about dark cloud 1?
11:45 damn that really sounds like corporate America
Sackboy looks a lot like a hat in time, interesting^^
That Guardian is pissing
I am but a simple man. I see EZ upload, I click like.
LETS GOOOOO
This is great content. Always a pleasure.
