How to Earn Early Money Through Cipher?
The Swampweed Harvest quest is one of the easiest ways to earn a hefty amount of Ore Nuggets. Head there and find Ghorim among the camp workers to begin his replacement quest.
After resolving the situation with Harlok near the large tree, return to Ghorim to claim your reward. This will lead to a conversation with Baal Orun, who assigns the Swampweed Harvest quest.
Your objective is to gather 100 bundles of Swampweed. Start by speaking with Balor in the Jungle, who hands over 50 bundles. Pay him 50 Ore Nuggets as well and he will reveal that the shipment should be delivered to Cipher in the New Camp.
To obtain the remaining bundles, seek out Viran near the wooden watchtower deeper in the Jungle. Clear out the Bugs attacking him. Then, he will reward you with the final 50 bundles needed to complete the delivery.
Once you have collected all 100 bundles, travel to the New Camp and meet Cipher at the bar. Handing over the entire shipment rewards you with a massive 600 Ore Nuggets on the spot.
The benefits do not stop there. Cipher also becomes an important merchant with a healthy supply of Ore Nuggets.
