I found this mentioned on another Achievements forum, and it seems to work really well.
Disclaimer: I did this on the Roche path. I don't know for sure if the quest or area is available on the Iorveth path, but if I find out that it is, I'll update the guide.
In Chapter 2, in the "Visionary" quest, you'll come to the visionary's hut. Four Harpies will attack. Deal with them, go back up the path (or into the circle of candles by the cabin door, either one), then back, and repeat.
The Harpies keep respawning, so you can collect crafting components from them each time. This goes pretty fast. I found it pretty simple even on Dark difficulty, although I've got a Red Meteorite sword and some great armor to help. If you're playing on a lower difficulty, equipment probably won't even matter much.
Take the stuff back to the Dwarf in the camp (back the way you came) and sell all the loot -- cloth, etc, but especially the Harpy ingredients. The feathers are particularly valuable. They're light-weight, so you can really stock up before making the trip back.
I didn't try this, but this might go twice as fast with the Harvester ability.
This is also a good way to get the Butcher of Blavhakin (sp?) achievement. Just remember to save periodically just in case. |

This solution is for whomever is going on Iorveth's path, on normal difficulty. Not sure if it can be done on Roche's.
It is a variation of Wyndo's solution so partial credit goes to him.
Once you get to Chapter 2, continue on with the story until you are able to go outside the gates. What you want to do now is get to the old quarry. Which is located SW of Vergen. There is a hut with a guy who asks you to bring him Harpy feathers but you won't be selling him those feathers during this process. Continue down the path below into the quarry and fight all Harpies that you encounter. There should be around 15-20. When you are done, pick up the loot go back to the top by the hut select wait time till many hours later and they should respawn, repeat the slaugter. When you have all that you can carry, go back to Vergen's market by the gate and sell the loot to whomever you want. (I sold to the guy who sells the dragon armor). I was making over 1000 per trip, so you'll have the Miser achievement in no time. Obvioulsy this is a great way to make money & you gain xp as well. Hope this helps. |

An easy way to get this without going out of your way is to save, sell everything you have stored in your chest or in your inventory until you have 10,000 orens, and then reloading once you have the achievement.
If you plan on hoarding items, it is important to know the locations of your storage chests. Items in the chests DO carry over to the next chapter.
Minor Spoilers Ahead.
In chapter 1, the storage chest is located on the lower level of the inn, near the door to the brothel.
Roche's Path, Chapter 2 - the chest is outside the encampment by the brothel tents, near a dwarf.
Iorveths Path, Chapter 2 - your chest is in your room at the Cauldron.
Chapter 3 - inside the ruined building used as an inn southwest of the notice board in Loc Muinne.
I've noticed that items sell for a lot less than your inventory tells you they are worth (or perhaps the dwarf ripped me off) so I would wait to go for the achievement until after you have collected plenty of items. |
