I think I've never bought a piece of gear or a weapon, I'm level 15 in Novigrad and have like 9000 gold.

Don't really know how I'm supposed to spend it, but I guess by the endgame I'll figure it out.

If you have 9000 crowns by level 15 I am assuming you're going for the platinum. Am I right? I am at level 12 and I have around 3400 crowns. I haven't completed all of the side quests though and have only slayed two beast. I am planning on killing them all off in bulk after I gather all of the oils. I skipped the werewolf mission so I could get beast oil. Once I got it he couldn't heal after I cut him with my sword. I also tend to use an overabundance of potions in fights so I have to keep leveling up so I can add upgrades to ward off toxicity.

Well I'm playing on the 2nd hardest difficulty level, so no plat for now. But I am trying not to miss any interesting side quests.

I have upgraded Quen's secondary mode, which allows you to put on the shield, wait till you get hit and gain a good portion of the health you would've taken, since then the game is much easier and I almost don't use food for health anymore.

For a lot of coins I suggest selling all the armor and swords you pick and don't use, and most important sell your "old money" to the banker in Novigrad. Brought me over 4000 coins.
