Thanks guys.

Is it really worthwhile to make an alt to make money first? Feel like that is going to take like 6+ months to get to a level that is meaningful for making money no?
A class like Monk can solo decently well naked due to Mend, damage skills, FD, and increased fist damage. However, Monks have a weight restriction. If you do not follow it, you will lose a chunk of AC every time you go over the target weight. This makes farming on a Monk more difficult naked, because you have no good weight reduction bags. This means you are either very limited on what you can carry, or you need to just take the AC loss, which will make your naked soloing harder.

This is why people tend to make a money farming class first. Quite a few classes in Everquest just can't really farm money that well naked. So if it is your first toon, it will take you a much longer time to level and farm naked. In a much shorter time span, you could basically level a naked Necromancer to it's mid 30s (which doesn't take long), and you can farm at least 300pp per hour at Halfling Guards. With that money, the character you really wanted to play can have a nice leg up right out of the gate. This is especially true on Blue, where you can get a lot of great stuff pretty cheap.
