Sometimes the question should not be "how can i raise more money?", but rather "how can i spend less money?"

When leveling new characters it is, imo, MORE important to know what NOT to buy than to know how to make plat. After all, the more time you spend making platinum for something (especially if you don't even really need it), the less time you spend leveling (and levels make it exponentially easier to make more money).

I don't have a big list of things, but stuff like, for wizards, don't buy every nuke at every level. If you plan on just rooting and nuking stuff to go from 12-16 solo or something, just pick up the most efficient level 12 nuke and ignore the rest of them. The biggest thing though is that so many new players want to know what gear they should buy, when the fact of the matter is that unless you're a melee you are nearly as well off for XPing when butt naked as you are fully geared... and even melee are much more reliant on their weapons (especially if you're not taking hits, naturally) than they are on their strength or stamina or ac or whatever.
I understand that. As a naked caster I couldn't agree more. What happens when your slapped for cash and the only thing you've spent money on is the few spells you actually need to get by, and it's time to purchase the new spells but your still out. of. money?
