Tips on how to upgrade weapons as quickly as possible.

Once you start playing NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 ... one thing becomes obvious: you need enough money. In the title of Square Enix, in addition to the side missions, there are many ways to farm gold. One such method is gardening. Seeds are planted and various types of moon flowers are grown which can be sold for gold.

Head to the waterfront market to buy moon seeds. It is possible to buy red, gold and blue moon seeds but by crossing them (to get them you have to plant two different types of seeds in alternating patterns in a row) you can get other seeds. With the red and gold seeds, peach seeds will be obtained; gold and blue will release indigo seeds; red and indigo produce pink seeds; combining pink and peach will result in lunar tears. Fertilizer can be used to increase yield based on harvest time.

Blue moon flower - 600 gold
Peach moonflower - 1800 gold
Indigo moon flower - 1800 gold
Pink moon flower - 1800 gold
Lunar tear - 5000 gold

If you want, you can only grow moon tears as they are the most profitable, but you should also take into account growing peach, indigo and pink seeds, which also require fewer seeds.

The latest method to farm gold in NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… is fishing. Fishing is great for getting weapon upgrade materials, but the fish you catch can be sold.

Once there, use the earthworms as bait and sell the fish for 4000 gold each.

How to make Damascus steel

It can be obtained from the World of Recycled Vessel DLC, along with Fool's Embrace and Fool's Accord.

To upgrade it, you need Damascus steel.

As with most materials, Damascus steel shimmers randomly. The best way to get it is to go to Junk Heap B2. Destroy the boxes on the winding path and collect the materials. Move away from the area and return to repeat the operation. You will need three pieces of Damascus steel to upgrade a weapon from the Fool set, and since the drop rate is low, it could take a long time. One tip is to prioritize upgrading the Madman's Lament and only upgrade other weapons later.
