Beginner Money: The Safest Yen Routes (Early → Mid Game)

I’ve been no-lifing fresh slots to see what actually prints Yen without drama. The gist: clear a short quest belt to unlock your kit, then sit on two money taps you can repeat forever—Final Selection and the Tanjiro raid. When a farm gets patched or a server’s dead, pivot to the other and keep moving. No AFK begging, no chasing random server links. TL;DR plan 1. Level 1–30 — knock out the early quests near Starter for fast setup cash. 1. Level 30+ — spam Final Selection for steady, low-risk Yen; fold in Tanjiro raid once you’re comfy. 1. If a loop dries up (no players, timer grief), swap immediately to the other tap and keep your uptime high. **Step 1: Quick quest belt (seed money) ** Run the close-by story/board quests around Starter and Snow road. They pay Yen on turn-in and you’re not traveling far, so your “coins per minute” stays decent while you learn your buttons. The Fandom and PGG quest roundups line up on the basics here: quests award Yen + XP, with low-tier tasks paying a few hundred each and scaling upward as you move zones. When to leave the belt: as soon as you hit Level 30 and your main style has a clean opener + one confirm, walk to the Wisteria trail → Final Selection grounds. That’s where the real money starts. **Step 2: Final Selection loop (the reliable faucet) ** Final Selection is left of Starter. Each run is two beats and takes ~10–15 minutes if you’re not trolling: Quest 1: kill 30 demons → about ¥500 base plus per-kill Yen (roughly totals ~¥1,000 for the step). Quest 2: defeat a small Demon Boss (≈2.5k HP) → ¥5,000. Put together, expect ~¥6,000 per clear at beginner speed, with bonus EXP/Mastery baked in. The best part: it’s repeatable, not a one-time quest. How to run it fast Pull 3–4 at a time, drop your biggest AOE opener, then short-confirm; don’t freestyle 10-hit combos on trash. If the boss arena is crowded, wait half a second and hit during recovery windows. You’re here for Yen per minute, not the scoreboard. When to pivot: if the arena’s empty or you’re stuck on phase timers, bounce to the raid pad (next section) and come back later. **Step 3: Tanjiro raid (the burst faucet)** At Slayer HQ, talk to Tanjiro and queue the Tanjiro raid. A clean clear pays ¥8,000. For many players, one orderly raid beats a full Final Selection cycle in both payout and time—especially once your kit is moving. Make it smooth Queue when you already see a couple players in the room; don’t host alone. Let the tankiest/more experienced player open; you follow and cash damage after big swings. If your comp is sloppy, do one raid and swap back to Final Selection instead of waiting around for perfect lobbies. Early → Mid money math (rough, real-world pace) Farm Typical payout Realistic time Ballpark Yen/hr When to use Final Selection loop ~¥6,000/run 10–15 min ~¥24k–36k/hr Always on, low risk, great at L30–100 Tanjiro raid ¥8,000/clear 4–6 min (group) ~¥80k–120k/hr When lobbies are popping Story/board quests (Starter/Snow road) ¥250–700 per task early, scales up 2–4 min per turn-in ~¥10k–20k/hr (early) Seed money while learning Numbers are from current community guides and in-game rewards; your rate swings with team quality and how much time you spend walking vs. fighting. Gear & spending that actually help your income Don’t overspend early. Unlock a couple core forms and keep a little buffer for travel and gourds. You’re investing in uptime, not min-maxing. Gourds are worth it if you find yourself gasping mid-fight; a stable Breathing bar means fewer wipes and faster clears. Pro Game Guides Codes are for resets/spins, not raw Yen. Nice QoL, but they won’t replace these farms. Common mistakes that tank your Yen per hour Waiting for carries. If a group doesn’t form in 60–90 seconds, leave and swap farms. Standing still is a 0 Yen/hr decision. Overpulling for “style.” Dying to flex costs you more than finishing two smaller packs. Chasing server links. Most of your money comes from repeatable content that’s two minutes from spawn. Teleport tourism kills momentum. Buying every shiny. Accessories are great, but early on your biggest gains come from more clears, not another minor stat stick. What if Final Selection gets tweaked? If the demon count, timers, or payouts change, slide your time into raids and quick quest chains until folks chart the new numbers. Yen farming in WL2 is about consistency: one reliable faucet + one burst faucet. When one slows, you pour time into the other. The economy loop survives patches because both activities sit close to Starter/HQ and don’t need rare spawns.
