Acquire two hideaways. Then, send a letter to an officer from one hideaway, and travel to the second hideaway. Once you open the door to the hideaway, the officer will spawn next to the building outside. Simply talk with the officer to raise their bond level. Next, send a letter to an officer from the second hideaway, and return to the first hideaway. Repeat this process as many times as desired. Travel to major cities after each chapter so you avoid missing opportunities to speak with certain officers whom may be killed later in the game. This also helps with getting "The Ties That Bind Us" achievement.
Quick way to make easy gold very early in game (chapter 2). After capturing luoyang, the merchant with the fishing quest will give you 4 ultimate baits. Rather than using them in the guided fishing spot, instead use them in the moat immediately outside Luoyang moat. You will have a chance for gorgeous saddles that sell for 7500 each, strange atlrtifacts (2000 each) and other moderate sale items. Approximately chapter 3 you can unlock purchase of Ultimate baits and repeat this process as much as needed. My rough estimate is ~250k per 10 ultimate baits.
Search for bandits, especially bandit chiefs and leaders (worth more). Kill bandits to get XP and items. Gather their items and sell them to vendors to get approximately 6,000 gold for each group of defeated bandits.
It doesn't take a full two hours to go across China like Koei Tecmo claimed in previews last year, but it does take a while even with a hyper-fast horse. Make use of fast travel whenever you can to save time. As a reminder, any area of the map you've revealed at any point in time can be seen by any character you play. The only restriction on your fast traveling is whether the area you're going to is under enemy control.
Get Red Hare asap - You unlock Red Hare for purchase by completing Guan Yu, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's storyline. Once unlocked purchase for $100,000. Best horse in the game. At level 1, it has higher stats than a lvl 100 birch.
Gold Crown: Get yourself a gold crown asap, it sucks all nearby items to you and it has a crazy range. very much worth the item slot.
Beast Mirror: Beast Mirrors increase the area of the map you unlock as you travel through it, the beautiful thing is these stack, so when exploring is your goal, stack 4 of them.
Fire Gems: Fire Gems are (IMO) the best for your weapons, they add insane damage to your attacks and with the new combat system, its seriously easy to keep the elements up.
Headshot: You can headshot most human enemies with a bow for them to die in one hit. Even on Choas mode. Head toward the great wall (Far north west) and head shot bandits on choas. Great source of gold, coins and exp.
Chen Pu: I found this new comer to the series to be one of the best characters to grind the 100,000 KO's on. Dude is smooth.
