Suikoden 1 - How to Farm Potch

Potch is an important resource and currency players collect during their journey in Suikoden 1 HD Remaster. Find out how to efficiently farm Potch, and different ways to farm Potch in-game here!

How to Farm Potch

  1. Equip the Prosperity Rune
  2. Play Chinchirorin
  3. Play Marco's Coin Game
  4. Battle in High-Level Areas

Equip Prosperity Rune

Suikoden 1 - Prosperity Rune

Equipping the Prosperity Rune allows the party to receive double the Potch after defeating an enemy.

When going for a grinding session, make sure to equip this rune to double your money gained after a battle.

How to Get Prosperity Rune and Effects

Fortune Rune Available in Sarady

Players can receive a Prosperity Rune in Sarady, given by one of the villagers in the town. Keep in mind that you must speak to this villager without Ted or else this interaction will not be available anymore.

These runes are also dropped by Sirens around the Kalekka.

Play Chinchirorin

Suikoden 1 - Gaspar

Once recruited from Kaku, Gaspar can be found in the gambling hall in your Headquarters' first floor, and will host the Chinchirorin dice minigame.

With luck and frequent saving, Gaspar can be a particularly profitable avenue for Potch gains because he allows you to double your last bet every time you win. Thus you can get large amounts of money from short winning streaks.

Play Marco's Coin Game in Rockland

Suikoden 1 - Marco Cup Game

Marco can be found near an Inn in Rockland and you can play his coin game, also known as the cup game, to earn cash early on. Later in the story Marco can be found in Warriors' Village, where he can be recruited and host coin games at your Headquarters.

Battle in High-Level Areas

Suikoden 1 - Dragon Battle

Late in the game, high-level areas, like Seek Valley and the final dungeon in Gregminster, have large numbers of relatively easy-to-defeat enemies that award large amounts of Potch and have save points nearby.

These are good places to spend time battling enemies for Potch. Equip the Prosperity Rune to double the potch you receive.
