Good newbie loot?

[toddfx]

When I started this server I had a streak of good luck. I kept finding myself in the right place at the right time to accept freebies, and have made a small fortune ninja looting Rivervale guards. At one point I had over 300pp at level 5. Now i'm level 10 (a month later) and am seeing zero income. I certainly remember still being broke and with crap equipment at level 30 in old EQ, but today I feel like I've been spoiled early on here.

I am playing a monk so I don't tend to loot much during grouping, and am forced to destroy or give away most of my coin. I'm getting bummed out because I can't find a solid flow of income, and I guess am still hoping to find another get rich fast scheme haha.

Some people might say leveling should be my priority, but I don't play all that much (4 hours a week?) and enjoy balancing my time between leveling and gear building. I guess I have more fun being powerful at lower levels and making the most out of it than level up quickly and having nothing.

I'm just curious to hear some preferred zones/techniques for low level loot and income. Farming bone chips? Silk? Anything/anywhere particular that is more lucrative than others?
