I have eight characters, the highest of which is my level 31 shaman. I tend to spend plat as I get it rather than hoard; I think I have around 700 on the shaman and a combined total of ~200 on the other characters. Gear-wise, not counting some stuff Tralina gave me, my total net worth (counting gear and money) is probably closer to around 3k. I made a decent amount of money with the shaman at 25 when I started alchemy; did a LOT of running between EC and Oggok. I was also lucky enough to find a Platinum Dragon Totem (I think that's what it's called, anyway) on an Oggok merchant for like 13pp and sell it in EC for several hundred plat, as well as kill a rare low level hill giant in North Karana and have him drop a 5 INT belt (Giants Reminder String) which I sold in EC for something like 800pp.
EXPing right now on my shaman gets me somewhere around 50pp an hour, maybe. Making potions is harder to say because of how unreliable selling them is (especially if you have competition), but if you're lucky, you can profit 500ish platinum in an hour of making potions, going to EC, and waiting for buyers. Usually it's much slower than that. This is just making the lower-level potions, of course; I can't make the portal potions that raiding guilds want at my level, nor can I afford the money to level the skill up that high. Probably am never going to bother.
