    The reason farming isn't free is due to bot abuse a while back. As for gold from commerce, may want to look into the skill Commerce Mastery.

    Commerce can give a lot of gold. Try to get limited goods, which restock every 2 hours. If your time zone is EST, they restock a few minutes before, to a few minutes after every odd hour. Usually its within about 3 minutes of the hour.

    Tir has the most profitable item (at least in my experience) and with 600 lovely potions ( Elephant + old commerce partner) I usually earn around 50k gold and ducats for the run. With a trade letter, that can get around 150k. Other good areas are Cobh and dunbarton, and they're most efficient when you use a wagon, so they're faster.

    Commerce mastery can boost the profits, and leveling up your trade level for the town can give you a discount, increasing profits even more. Commerce partners let you carry more, so I'd recommend getting one if you're serious about commerce.

    well even with the commerce skill the gold is not that great. look for those commerce letters that boost how much you can make if you really want to make gold and Ducats faster.

    I don't think commerce gives a bad amount of gold. Fleet feet, wave sweepers, and reforged (G15) gear make it a very reliable source of money. It usually takes only a few minutes to complete a run, and little to no fighting, so you don't suffer much of a dura loss on any gear you use. If you sell the ducats you earn, you can make a pretty big chunk of gold for little effort. An example is selling harps/pianos.

    You commerce until you're at around 5 million ducats, which means you've made around 5 million gold already (For every ducat you profit, you gain a gold). You can then sell the harp/piano for 5m+, and end up with over 10 mil for just some simple walking. It takes a bit of patience, but its well worth it if you ask me.

    Commerce letters can come from events or gacha. You can sometimes find them for sale from player shops or the housing board.
