Your best bet is to farm plat by questing or camping other items that can be sold in the tunnel.
Around level 25-30 I stalled out leveling for a few weeks when I just decided to farm as many Leatherfoot Raider Skullcaps as humanly possible to make a pile of plat and throw gear on my warrior. They sell for 500p each, are easily sold, and relatively easily quested.
Each cap requires 1 Grizzly Bear Skin, 1 Polar Bear Skin, 1 Alligator Skin, 1 Shark Skin, and a Dragoon Dirk.
Farm a stack of each of those skins, and buy dragoon dirks (they are lore) as you see them being sold in EC from time to time (usually ~50p). They also drop off random mobs in the EC area (Dorn B Dynn in nro, gaurds on the bridge in Nek, a random NPC in WC). The npc will have a dagger in their hand if they're carrying the dirk.
From there on you can just run back and forth from EC to Rivervale doing the turn ins. High end guilds typically require all of their members carry a cap, so there is always demand for them as people level alts, new members join, etc.
It may sound tedious but it was kind of a fun mini-game. Thats what EQ is all about imo.
