Platinum Making guide for low / new players here!

[Potus]

I see a lot of new players trying to sell bonechips and I'd recommend against it. Not a lot of people buying them for the faction, and Necromancer pets are so gimpy they're not getting summoned as often. Probably better off turning them in in Kaladim for the exp.

For players levels 4-12 in the Qeynos/Everfrost/Erudin areas:
Since there's usually no one around to buy your pelts and bone chips, here were some ways I made some decent starter money out in Qeynos area.

Qeynos Hills:

Hadden: this guy spawns in front of the little shack on the lake and drops the fishbone earring about half the time. You won't be able to kill him at this level (probably need to be 30ish) but you can tell a higher level that he's up and maybe get a thank you reward. TIP: If he's holding a fishing pole, he does not have the earring.

Pyzgin: She's a very rare spawn that you pretty much have to follow the guide to get her to spawn. She's level 13 and an undercon since she has a pet and some nasty necro spells for the level. She drops the glowing black stone worth a few thousand plat.

The rabid grizzly in Qeynos Hills is around level 8 (but hits like he's 10-12). Kill him and turn in his putrid pelt in North Qeynos (in the UFO) to Priestess Caulria. She gives you 2pp, 1gp, 1sp and an Endure Disease scroll that vendors for another 2pp. She also casts cure disease on you getting rid of rabies if you have it. Even better, it seems to have a very high drop rate of grizzly bear skins (needed for bearskin potion bags and Leatherfoot Raider Skullcap quest) and HQ bear skins (tailors need to make 10 slot backpacks) and also low and medium quality pelts that can be used for leather padding or other recipes.

There are two rabid wolves (levels 3-5) that each drop a putrid pelt for another 2pp each. Also, once Priestess Caulria is amiable to you (priests of life faction - so gnoll fang turn ins as well as pelt turn ins increase faction with her) she will accept the fleshy orb that drops off the wolves. She gives you about 15 gold for this! So each 6-10 minute respawn round you've gotten almost 10pp and a good chance at a high value pelt! Great money at low level.

Over by the entrance to blackburrow one of the wandering spawns is either a regular gnoll (get those teeth!) or a gnoll hunter. He drops 1/2 of a staff needed for the Jagged Pine Crook Staff quest. Over along the hill by the Surefall Glades zoneline (lake side) is another spawn location for a wandering hunter. The staff pieces are lore so many times you'll need to kill several to get the two different parts. When you turn them in you get a Druid/Ranger staff that's a little better than a start weapon (only vendors for like 6 silver) but you also get between about 2-9pp! Definitely worth checking for hunters between rabid animal spawns.


Surefall Glade:

Here is the quest that I mentioned above.

Poachers:
If you happen to be in SFG turning in a crook. Go kill a poacher or two and turn in their heads for some gold. If one of them is a gnoll poacher, you can turn that in for a 13/51 bow that vendors for a couple plat or a great starter bow for a new ranger.

Since you're in SFG talk to the bard Silvina Lutewhisper and do the mail delivery quest to Qeynos (since you're probably going to go back there anyway). I got about 1pp for delivering it.

Everfrost:
Since you're in the area, check all the vendors for polar bear skins. They are used in the leatherfoot raider skullcap quest as well. You can get them off of polar bears (there's about 3 spawns out in the Everfrost hills) or the polar bear cubs (level 2) but at a much lower drop rate.

Erudin:
There are a lot of sharks (around level 12) in the harbor. This is the best place to farm shark skins which are also needed for the leatherfoot raider skullcap.

After you start getting long in the tooth for blackburrow, you can start killing wisps and saving their lightstones and greater lightstones. Take them to North Karanas and turn them in at the gypsy camp. They give a lot of experience in the teens and the greater lightstones gets you a concordance of research that you can vendor to the quest giver for 10pp each! The quest is below.

In the Karanas you can also kill bandits for their sashes and turn them in back in Qeynos. You get a good amount of gold, experience and a bronze weapon which will fetch you a few more plat each!

Killing the rabid animals and doing the above quests over and over, I was able to afford bags, all my spells, and pet reagents which I would have not been able to otherwise.

Bumping into Uncle Andain never hurts either. Thanks for the 15pp!
