My monk has 40p on her at level 26. This is due to weight restriction and just general low value of items she can carry. Making 200p is not "easy" when you don't have handouts. I'm seeing threads about "just drop 100p on this and 100p on this, cheap for starting out". Or "just loot some dead xxx mob or have someone let you loot yyy". I'm not sure if it's just a personality problem of mine (probably) but I have a hard time asking people for handouts.

It's been said before but definitely check the vendors. You can find all sorts of items for pennies on the dollar. Freeport generally has better vendor loot considering it's more populated, but even if you start out in say Oggok you can find the occasional crude stein on the vendors for 9p which resells in auction for 100p easy. I'm kind of addicted to it atm actually. The other day my leather-wearing alt found drops of mercury on a vendor for like 2 plat each. Zoned over to EC and sold them after about an hour of auctioning, made a 250p profit. So starting out with nothing is manageable if you do the legwork and know what to look for.
The server is top-heavy, but less so now with the new players. That said, the wealth definitely does trickle down no matter where you're leveling. Misty Thicket? Players killing the guards have been known to pay newbies to sell the spears for them to the merchants. South Karana? Players hunting Quillmane have been known to pay aviak groups to kill placeholders for them. Lower Guk? Ass/Sup campers have been known to let players loot light burlap sacks. On top of all that you will be buffed to the brim out of the blue and given random pick-me-up items
at least once or twice. If not than you either have really bad luck or bad hours.
Also, it's not a handout if you don't beg, it's an investment in the community. So imo just say ty, accept the phat lewtz when they're given, and pass them along once you grow out of them. There are a lot of other really good suggestions here, esp. the SolA group. Try them out and keep us posted. GL
