Default Trying to make money as a new player

I just joined the server and I rolled a halfling Druid i'm currently level 4 i'm seeing alot of pelts and other random loot some of the pelts I vender for over 1 gold. I have heard people talk about pelts silks and bone chips selling for 1 plat? My question is what should I be looking for?

This guide is very helpful:
http://wiki.project1999.com/Ultimate...ng_Money_Guide

In short for early levels keep all bone chips, they sell for 10pp a stack to players. Also keep all low, med, high quality pelts. Most low and med pelts sell for 1pp per, but high quality cat/wolf pelts are about 10-15pp per and High quality bear skins are up to 30-35pp per. They are really good early on money makers. Also keep all your spiderling silks, they sell for about 1pp per silk or 20pp per stack.

If you head to Crushbone at some point, keep all the belts/legionnaire shoulderpads as well as they sell well to other players farming faction. About 1pp per belt, 5-10pp per shoulder.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong on the pricing, just what I recall here.

Yes they do, I believe wolf and bear pelts show up as skins. They are basically the same as pelts.

Yes you would have to make a trek to EC to sell them unless you find some random druid who happens to port into Misty Thicket. There should be a vendor in Rivervale that sells some form of bags (though they are not that cheap) to help increase the load that you can carry to EC. I would however recommend buying a your important spells for the next couple of levels before heading to EC so that you can level in that area instead while you sell your loot.

even though you are not in the area being a halfling, qeynos is hands down the most lucrative starting area. at level 5 you can kill the 2 rabid wolves in qeynos hills and make 2 plat off of each one at teh cleric guild in NQ. they are a 5 min respawn and are in the same small area all the time. At level 9-10 you can add in the rabid bear and get 3 plat (1 for the pelt and 2 to sell back the scroll you always get as a reward.)..at level 9-10 you can duo or group bandits in WK...this is when the noob plat starts to flow...and xp.

I have never actually leveled in the Qeynos area before, it was always so empty minus the fishbone earring camp.

I talked to a guy that once talked to another guy that said they would get sow & invis & run to NK - kill wisps by gypsy tent - hand in light stone + GLS - sell books they give to the cursor & rejoice in your new found imaginary coins.
Allegedly.

Speaking from experience, I would suggest the best way of making money is just leveling up. Sure, shooting for a few things here and there to sell early to have money for spells and maybe a few pieces of gear is great but it should not be your primary focus at your level (in my opinion). The best way of making cash is just leveling up and acquiring it as you go. The higher level you get the more expensive items mobs drop and thus a higher income. This is especially true for Druids because of your ability to port people later on and buff/power level. Druids are probably one of the best classes for making money by practically just advertising services. Anyway, welcome to Norath and enjoy your stay! [You must be logged in to view images.
