Hey there, Warden Teirdalin here with a guide on how to get mountains of gold for moderate effort.

1) So first off, you'll be wanting to have one of your assistants to help you with this, just place them at camp near the border to the wasteland. Now head off into the wasteland with a few healing potions and your trusty weapon of choice.

2) Find the two moon stones, most likely held by a baby chicken on the west side and a chicken in corruption pod. Now wait for the timer to hit 100% and wait at the border, drink a couple healing potions. When your health gets low enough head through the transition with your moonstones in your inventory and wait for the sky to return to normal and go through again. This is how you're suppose to carry moon stones over to the next cycle by the way, probably.

3) Now find your third moonstone from one of the creatures again and head over to the moonstone chest and grab the loot.

4) Now, open your map and fast travel back to camp and give all your loot to your trusty assistant. And head back into the wasteland and open the chest again, little known fact- it keeps giving you treasures every time you come back, as this is the way moonstone chests function. They make you think "Oh I got the treasure and that's it." Not the case my fellow wardens, the power of the moonstone fabricates loot whenever it thinks you're gone from the wasteland, and give a lesser reward on your return visit but a reward all the same and does not require unlocking again.

Now repeat step 4 until you run out of time, and enjoy your swords, iron and gold. Repeat these whenever you need to rearm your army of lost souls, and good luck banishing the corruption. Other regions most likely work the same way and I would suggest experimenting to see what lesser rewards they give, and remember you can travel any distance with your moonstone when fast traveling and it does not accelerate corruption storm timers.
