OK so brand new player here, I am having trouble making money to buy level 8 spells. Anyone have any suggestions? I loot every mob. Most any item has sold for is maybe 1 gold yet spells at lv8 cost 5-10 plat per. Anyone have any suggestions I might try?

Everyone who has ever amounted to anything in eq has farmed cracked staffs for spell money.

Chips only sell for small amounts of silver, If you suggest selling to other players, currently I cannot use OOC for what reason I couldn't tell you. Where can I find said cracked staves? Same with spider silk (as in vendor offers copper/silver).

and Paineel.
Paineel is awesome! tons and tons of skels, small area, fast respawn, and almost no competition. sure its way out of the way but you should be able to get a decent amount of chips/staves there.
My eru sk was in full leather, vendor purchased at like 2-3pp a peice and had a normal weapon, not rusty tarnished etc that cost over 10p by level 6 thanks to staves

What starting area are you in now? Some are definitely better than others. Focus on killing mobs that have cash drops (lizards, frogs, skeletons, goblins, etc).
If you're in FOB (by far the best for making money) focus on the spider mobs, especially the brown colored ones. They can drop 2-6 spider silks that sell for like a gold. I made 30-40pp by level 8 selling stacks of that crap on a monk where I didn't loot most stuff due to the weight limit and not wanting to run to the vendor every 30 seconds.

Oh and if you're non iksar as soon as you can start taking out wisps, do it. Save all the greater and regular lightstones. If you're good then get a port to NK and farm them at the guard tower by the gypsies. They turn in for huge amounts of exp and the greater stones award an item that sells back to the same person who gives them to you for 8+ pp. I basically farmed them from lvl 14-15 on my shaman and turned them in for another full level and then some on my blue shaman and made about 100pp in the process.
If you're evil aligned there is a turn in for the same shit in north ro at the camp with the DE npcs.
Just be aware the item that sells for 8pp is technically a bag, so have a slot open and do a turn in, sell it, rinse and repeat.

This only works if you can acquire a key to get into Paineel...awesome if you can, but if you don't have amiable or above faction, or if you're not an enchanter/necro that can charm the guard...you'll struggle :p

Kill skeletons for bone chips, go to Kaladim and turn them in at the paladin guild. The money isn't insignificant (you'll get stuff that sells for over a gold for 4 bone chips) and it's very good exp up through about level 11 or 12. I lvl'd my shaman from 1-12 off like 4 bags full so it definitely won't be great exp at your level but every little bit counts.
As soon as you can kill wisps, move over to the Freeport area and start doing it. If you need the money you can usually find someone buying them for 7-8pp each or go do the quest yourself for a little more cash and a lot of exp.

You'll need a magic weapon to kill the wisps, but keep the greater lightstones and hand those in yourself (South Ro for evils, North Karana for hippies).
