Iv made 35k (legit) at level 20, after I got the +100 carry weight saddlebags, I just ran around and did all the "undiscovered locations" in white orchard and velen.
Many bandit camps/monster dens/guarded treasure and all that. Every sword is 10-30 gold and in one camp u can get 30 swords/blackjacks. Ez money!
I usually sell them to the blacksmith/armor in the castle keep in skellige, by the bridge. But earlier on in the game the fence in novigrad has a good amount of coin. Even before that crows perch is a fine place to sell, just have to meditate a lot for his coin to replenish.
U get a lot of legendary items exploring, they sell for a ton even if u can't make use of them.
I also have only dismantled to get greater runes back out of gear. I have found no need for it and have more than enough crafting materials looting all the containers in the villages/other locations I come through. Plus it's easy to miss recipes for items and potions or oils if u don't loot.
I think light armor is also the best playing on a high/mid difficulty. Using top not heavy armor that adds a ton of vitality and damage resistance still seems absolutely useless fighting a tough contract or guarded treasure. The monster will still kill u in a couple hits Eitherway. The huge bonus to stamina regin for more quen shields and dodge/rolls just seems all in all vastly superior.
Maybe on a lower dif heavy armor lets u play lazy and just face tank enemy's tho, but I wouldn't know.
i just flipped shells
