Some quests reward handsomely - sometimes it's plat, other times an item you can sell. Keep your weight low by buying large bags or large sewing kits for storing loot. Etc. I'm an old player, and I'm still learning! There's no way a new person can get to level 20 as quickly as they do and know a significant fraction. These zones were meant to be loved and they don't give you their secrets without adequate investment.
And btw I don't think I had 22 plat at level 10. Just goes to show you how much I have to learn. In 1999 I might have, but that's because I didn't turn in gnoll fangs back then. Didn't know about it.

It's just a matter of knowing where to hunt and what to kill while you're leveling. You'd think that a server full of EQ veterans would know these things, or at least take the initiative to look them up. The information is out there.
If anyone is poor, it's because they lack any initiative to do something about it.
