If someone can give me a forum link to one that's on here that i've obviously missed that would be great!

Thank you in advance,

If you're just starting out, here's the basics.

Buy a bunch of bags. You'll want to be able to haul around a bunch of stuff.

Fight near a merchant. There are plenty of camps with a merchant nearby like every starter zone, oasis beach has a gypsy camp, windmill in LOIO, etc, etc.

Loot everything! You're right next to a merchant. Loot every rusty piece of junk, spell research component, meat, etc that drops. The only things that should be left on corpses are very low priced non-stackables. Fill your bag, head to merchant and sell.

Ghetto-bank at a merchant. Find something that SELLS to the merchant for over 1p. Even if it costs you 1.5p or so. Buy that item with your gold/silver/copper and sell back for plats. A good example of this is Mistmoore, you can go to the rangers in Lfay, sell all your bronze junk, convert all your gold/silver/copper and be back to your camp in minutes instead of the much longer trip to Felwithe, Kelethin or Ak'anon. Evil races have a longer run to the druid ring, but it's the same idea.

If you're really pinched for cash, slaughter greens with weapons near a merchant of some kind. Example would be the derv camp in WC. Slaughter the whole camp in 2 minutes, loot everything, walk over to druid ring, vendor junk, merch-bank and now you're 10pp ahead for 3 minutes work.
