Hogwarts Economy
Economy overhaul making knuts feel more valuable and worth your time to find and collect.
Recommended on a new save, aiming to fix the economy by reducing some OP sources of gold and increasing prices of permanent recipes, broom upgrades, etc. Also adds 2-3x more merchandise to vendors to provide increased spending opportunities. Vastly increases RoR build requirements making moonstone desirable. Overall, obtaining items should feel like more of an accomplishment, your monetary decisions more impactful, and your efforts exploring and defeating enemies more worthwhile.
An ideal version of this mod would allow you to sell potions, ingredients, beast byproduts, moonstone, and so-on but this would require script modifications that are above my head currently. If another modder figures it out, feel free to use this mod as a base.
Note on compatibility: if you run other mods which edit PhoenixShipData.sqlite you will need to merge them together using Hogwarts Mod Merger follow the instructions there.
Install the .pak to SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\mods or equivalent
