slimequestSince I remembered how to do this from the NES version, and it also works well on the DS version, here's a way to get a bunch of cash really easily in chapter 3 of DQ4 which I thought I'd share with my DQ buddies.
First of all, when working at the weapon store, make sure someone comes buy and sells you a Cautery Sword. After they do, don't sell it to anyone! It's okay if you already did, though, just work there long enough for someone to sell you another.
Now, go on with the rest of your business until you get your own shop. If you can't scrape up the cash for it, make sure you've gotten the silver statue and sold it to the rich guy in town. Any of the rest of the cash you can get by selling armor to the guy who really wants to buy armor from you in the castle.
Now, you'll need to get together some more money. Give your wife any and all pieces of equipment you find and she'll sell them for a huge profit somehow. Random monsters in this chapter will drop things like steel broadswords which sell for 3000, for example. Once you have enough money, go back to Lakanaba and buy several Cautery Swords from the weapon shop. Yes, you will miraculously be able to buy as many as you want despite the fact that someone only sold you one. Take these back to your wife and she'll sell them for an even greater profit. Basically, you make cash, buy Cautery Swords, sell them for even more cash, and repeat. Make sure to give one to Torneko to equip, as it's his best weapon in this chapter. In order to speed things up, exit Torneko's shop and reenter, and then speak with his wife behind the counter to sleep for the day. Do this until she sells everything in stock, then repeat.
Fulfill the king's request of outfitting his troops (the swords drop easily from random slimes, the armor also drops but you can even buy it from the armor shop in town) and he'll give you 60,000 gold. Don't give this to the guy in the tunnel yet! Once you do that, after a couple of days the tunnel will be completed and you won't be able to give things to your wife to sell. Instead, invest all that money in Cautery Swords (you can buy packs of nine at a time) and give them all to your wife to sell.
I ended up making about 200,000 gold before deciding that was enough, but you can take this as far as you want it to. Once you're ready to finish up the chapter, pay off the old guy in the tunnel and spend all the rest of your money buying as many Cautery Swords as you can. (Torneko's gold does NOT carry over, only equipment and items). When you meet up with Torneko again, you can pass around the swords to whoever can equip them and sell the rest for a nice boost in cash. And that's that!
