I need ideas for funding my low level character

[vinx]

if your hunting HQ pelts for cash.
a good side job to that is, start your tailoring, gather silks along with your pelts.
get tailoring up some and make leather padding with silks+LQ pelts.
smiths will pay pretty decent cash for them, few months ago i was paying about 150p a stack, idk wht the going price is today but still...

My wife and I are currently levels 17 and 18, we have 496pp as of last night. We are completely untwinked, these are our first characters on p1999, I'm pretty sure we have a good amount of $$ for our level.

Basically we never ever destroy loot or let anything rot. Rusty weapons, raw hide equipment, cloth, gems etc - we loot all and make merchant runs. Currently we're doing Rathe aviaks til we hit about 22ish, unless I finish Shovel of Ponz quest anyways and my pet gets beefy then we'll be hitting UGUK.

I'm positive our route to 500p wasn't unique (collecting and selling *all loot) however when I played my first character on live I was SO broke. I'm positive the difference was that I was too concerned with being encumbered, and also played a melee character who couldn't gate to directly in front of the merchant. (i.e my wife is bound in front of a merchant in Lake Rathe so we drop all our loot on her, all our cash on me, she gates/sells, then boats back unencumbered).

Also we're a mage/enc and have every single spell available to us, including all lvl 20 spells in our bags and still have ~500pp. Lastly we never have and I seriously doubt ever will buy items from other players considering we're INT casters. Our mana pools and INT only drive our kill speed, but will never determine survivability for us.

Just bumping this as I think I have a little more info that could be of use to those of you looking for some $ at mid-lower levels.

I have been farming/exping off the 3 spawn Aviaks in Lake Rathetear since Thursday (today is tuesday july 6) loc 2485 1002. My wife and I arrived both at level 17, myself a magician and her an enchanter. We are now level 22 with give/take 24ish hours played.

In that time we have made 1198 platinum in 24 hours played from drops (no rare drops) and coin loot. My wife is bound at the merchants across the lake, so she loots everything then gates when our spawn times have the largest increment inbetween last kill -> next spawn, sells, invis's and swims back - arriving usually exactly when the next spawn is due.

facts -
Mob: an aviak guard
Level: 16-20
Social: Yes (lull/soothe/calm work just fine)
Timer 6 Minutes
Type: Warrior
Hardest Hit: 45
HP: ~450-550
Loot: Avg. 2 gold per kill

Comments: Gained 5 levels with my wife in ~24 hours (17-22), gained around 1200pp.

Also true of most women in the bedroom.

Why are women like hard-wood floors?

Lay 'em right the first time and you can walk all over them for the rest of your life.

Not sure... I recalled mages being able to summon daggers, etc - I believe those count as 'magical' weapons, IIRC.

So.. either way...

I did notice - the pet will equip them.

sell chip bones stacks to high level necro. 6pp per stack.

It's been mentioned but Willowisps are great especially for levels 8 - 14 or so, you can level up and make like 500pp+ during that period. It can be frustrating when you kill 5 before seeing a greater light stone, but when you finally do land one it's like hitting the jackpot! I like to set a goal of 2 backpacks full of GLS before I make the trip to SRo, and it feels great to head back to EC with 200 plats for spending.

That's what I love about being low levels - those minor victories are more frequent and feel just as good (to me) than anything higher up ever does.
