Little bit of easy money for all kinds!

Vets, please post your tips! Help our new players start out well, so we can keep our server growing!

Tips for new players!



Why bother begging players for money?! Wheres the fun in that? If you started as a warrior, take yourself out into the wilds and hunt down cows, bulls, hinds and great hearts to collect leather hides(be sure to use some scissors on them to make them into cut leather) and cut ribs! This will slowly help you gain in your fighting skills and maybe your healing(if your using bandaids).

Make sure to look out for sheep while out hunting, kill them and use your knife to find wool and legs of lamb, and use the wool at the tailors to make cloth for free bandaids!


If your wanting to make money as a Mage, look into getting the Inscription skill, and use some money to buy bank scrolls, and Night Shade. Then, make poison scrolls to sell to the NPC Mages! Its good easy money, and helps you with your inscription skill, which will increase your spell damage!(and also raise your Int while training)


If your doing more crafting skills, look into Tinkering. You'll beable to make all your tools, mine your own ingots! I would suggest you make 'Tongs' under the tools section. They only cost 1 ingot to make, and sell for 7g a piece!(or you can buy ingots from a NPC for 5g each :p ) Doing this will get you to around 85 tinkering easy! After that, do smith hammers, which sell for 10g each, not as cost effective, but you can mine your own ingots to make up for that.



Anyone else have any easy money tips for new players, post!

Dahlia: Go to the cotton fields(east of Skara Brae is a good place, also, on the south part of moonglow island), pick cotton and then go to a tailor shop, spin it and make it into cloth ... then sell the cloth to the tailor in the shop.

uome: To add a tip of my own do some npc escorts. You can find them in most towns normaly hanging around an inn. Avoid the seekers of adventure if your not good at fighting yet because they want to go to dungeons. You can't recal or sacred journey with these in tow but you can gate them to their destination. If you magery isn't high enough to gate don't be put off it's only a short walk to most towns and. You have to wait inbetween doing escorts anyway so the walk means less time waiting to be able to accept the next one. You will get around 700gp per escort that you do.

ramax99: Make a Blacksmith/Miner, mine ingots, sell colored ones at forum, with regular iron make heater shields and sell them at BS shop.

Hilde: Lumberjack/Bowcraft and/or Lumberjack/Carpentry. All you need is a axe (get a few, they break after a while) and fletching tools or one of the many carpentry tools. Find a spot in the woods with no/few monsters and chop the trees. You can make a razor macro to create the last made item if your weight reaches a certain amount. This way the weight of the wood is reduced
greatly.... It's true, money grows on trees!

all1together2now3: Buy hides for 3gp from a furtrader, cut them up, and sell the leather for 5gp at the tanner.

fearofthedawn: tbh with like 50k or less u can make plenty with bods,make ur bod chars, train a 120 tailor, did mine includoing scroll under 50k, then fill resets and then either sell the bods or fill them. for the most part u can get the stuff to fill the bods with money from turning in resets or just get it urself, collecting or whatever hrsks 250k brsks 2.5m, give it 2 weeks u be doin fine

lpeleev: Try collecting spined leather (in despice fighting lizardmans,these are easy and drop 12or24 leathers each depends if you are in felucca or trammel),its really easy all you need is a beetle. It sells fast for about 30-35 even 40 gold each.

Re: Little bit of easy money for all kinds!

How about this. Get max accounts, max characters and run bods for 15 minutes and hour and the other 45 run 4 scribes with lich form gm med focus and 4 wisps up, making poison scrolls to start then ebolt to further increase ur profit and it will work ur scribe up to 95 on all of them.

Could always go to the cotton fields, pick cotton and then go to a tailor shop, spin it and make it into cloth ... then sell the cloth to the tailor in the shop. That's how I got my start on 2 different shards.

Just a quick question, why get the legs of lamb? Can you sell them somewhere, or is it just for yourself to eat?

QFT!

This is how i made my first cash here and it allowed me to buy myself a decent sized house in only a few days. I also gained in compassion and learnt my way around this vast land.
Good luck.
 
Re: Little bit of easy money for all kinds!

escorting is a good method. yesterday i started an archer for doom. done about 3 escorts. bought a bunch of arrows and a bow, (borrowed) a boat, and shot at spawmdragons, bog things, and plague beasts all night. gmed over night.
though i must note my razor macro.

target closest grey,
attack last target
wait 20 seconds

then you always have something to shoot at. it also changes the target so other monsters can heal. make sure there are no spell casters too.

Re: Little bit of easy money for all kinds!

Just to drop a note here: Any new player who is mining, selling to NPCs, etc will want to be sure they are not doing so unattended. Please read the rules on this.

I have jailed several new players who state they weren't familiar with the rules. Not something I personally like to do but I have to do it.

So the more new folks who familiarize themselves with the rules the better :)

Going into the wilderness hunting bulls carving their innards selling the meat to the butcher and making commodity deeds selling leather on vendors (or to the NPC vendor).
Going to despise upstairs to lizzy man cave riding a beetle, loot their bodies and carve their hides and sell those to player tailors in a commodity deed.
Same goes for mining and selling in bulk but as Lady Crimson said, make sure you're not doing so unattended. :)

I just think that if people really knew how EASY it is to make gold with 0 effort, they would stop begging around banks and barrowing from friends/guildies/ect...

Buy hides for 3gp from a furtrader, cut them up, and sell the leather for 5gp at the tanner.

It's hard to find furtraders that arent sold out, sometimes, but that's how I helped buy two houses and got started. Can generally make 2k for each 999 you buy then sell. Need to start out with 2997 gold and it adds up from there.
It helps to have a packy to put the leather in, or someone might come along and snag it from the ground.

I don't do this anymore, hence, I feel perfectly comfortable sharing this.
