Default I need ideas for funding my low level character

I just started a couple days ago and I'm currently a level 7 gnome necromancer. I have been killing yellows and reds, which means I have probably been leveling faster than normal. That might be the reason I'm getting close to level 8 with only enough platinum to buy 3 level 8 spells (they are 4 pp and some change a piece) and I was wanting 8 total (about 20-22 pp short with 3 bars of exp to go).

The only thing I can think of is start killing blues so I kill more mobs per exp gained to get some more pp. Anyone have any good ideas for raising some money at low levels. I'm fighting skeletons mostly right now for bone chips (for my pets), cloth armor and rusty weapons that I'm selling to vendors.

Any areas near steamfont that can make me some better $? I don't remember ever doing any quests but are there any that yield some pp? If I remember correctly when I started the game for the first time in 1999 I followed around a high elf wizard that was killing steamfont guards and got the fine steel weaopn/shields cause he couldn't carry them .. but unfortunately when I logged onto project 1999 he wasn't there heh.

Minotaurs at the northwest corner of the zone in that slave-camp area, they occasionally drop Minotaur Battle Axes which sell to vendors for some 3-4pp each. And I think rarely a gem worth a few pp, too. Got an emereld and an opal from em some months back, both of which sold for over 10p. =o

Think the boogers are early teens, so at lvl12 you can kill em easy peasy.

Any ideas for the Freeport (or even gfaydark other than belts) side of things? I'm level 5 at the moment and most of what I've earned has come from skeletons/orc pawns and their weapons.

Best way to earn pp in the freeport area is to go to EC and start farming cats and bears. HQ pelts can be sold to players right there in EC. HQ cat pelts go for 5pp HQ bear pelts go for 10pp.

You could also take all of the other pelts you gather and start learning how to do tailoring.

Also Spider/Spiderling Silks can be gathered and either sold to players or used in your tailoring.

As mentioned, belts belts and more belts.

If you are a caster class, or have a magic weapon, at about 10 you can kill wisps. The greater lightstones sell for like 5-6p to vendors, or you can turn them in to an NPC in the Karanas for a tome that sells for 10p.

If you are feeling saucy, roll an enchanter, level it to 8 or 12 (depending on race) and do the stein of moggok quest a few times. Sell stein(s) for 200-300p a piece in EC.

Casters can do Wisps at 8, but it's hard and you have to high summon your pet (if mage / necro) easier at 10 or 12.

Also can turn in the lightstones in South Ro.

Try to move in on Richgirls casino and start your own. Although be careful, she may break your legs.
