There are several ways to make money, but keep in mind there is no get-rich-quick scheme (if so, let me know):
The basic outline is that low levels get low money. As you get higher you will get more money. Patience is key.
- Quests: Do as many as you can stand. You will get some cash, equipment, weapons, maybe some furniture. Talk to all NPC's to get a quest. Some quest are repeatable, like Civil Service in North Qeynos. You'll get a few silver each time you complete it.
- Harvest: You may be able to sell roots and such to other crafters. Just have lots of space in your bags to carry around the extra junk. If you are lucky to find a rare component (you'll get a ding telling you), those can sell for 10g or more.
- Crafting: Certain items are valued more than others. Check out some of the related threads in this forum. Things that I always look to buy...spell upgrades, SoW totems, armor upgrades. I haven't found a need for high priced food in my adventures yet, I usually buy from the vendor in Zek.
- Loot Drops: Skins, rat tails, iron bars...You can sell those back to a vendor, or put up other items like Adept 1 books for sale on your own. A few good items to sell are those required for Heritage Quests...palladium torque, deer meat, etched hide plate, etc. That might take some research to dig out components. I just dropped 5 gold for some recipie components for the Manastone HQ, and dropped 1p75g for a Palladium Torque for another HQ.
So in the mean time, do the quests. That will get you armor and weapons enough to survive, and the money will eventually come. :)
