Utter newbie (!) - how to make money?

[billycub]

Howdy, new here and I played EQ for just a few months in 2002/2003.... just checking things out again. Love the retro look!

Question: my newbie druid is seriously poor! Even Level 1 Druid spells in Rivervale are going for 1 gold at the merchants; I remember them being 1 or 2 silvers on Live. Why the price hike?

So, given I have no guild and no money, what's the best way to make money to buy some spells and gear on this server?

(Or... is there a better place to buy stuff that's a lot cheaper?)

thx!
