Ya so pretty much there isn't really anyone who is poor on p99. Thanks myxomatosii and Sarajo, as well as everyone else who has participated.

It seems to me that the amount of money that comes into the economy is vastly larger than the money that leaves via money sinks. Original EQ IMO didn't have a whole bunch of money sinks, compared to other MMO's now.

Do you think this is a problem for p99? Maybe the people in charge should invent new money sinks?

I have 5 plat to my name. I just started my character the other night and I'm only level 4. I would say that I am pretty poor. I don't have a high level character to twink him out with.

Welcome to p99!

Farm some bone chips, they sell for 10pp a stack all the time!

Get a port to Greater Faydark.

Hunt / Group in Crushbone. If you get any belts/pads, you can sell those to other players (1pp per belt, 2pp per pad used to be the norm). That will help you get some nice newbie leather/chain off the merchants while you gain a few levels.

Once you get level 14 or so, head over to "Sister's camp" in Lesser Faydark. They drop bronze weapons and when your bags are full you can hike over to the woodelf inn (#10), sell, and skip back. You'll make 200pp a night, if not a lot more. Solo, or duo it with someone. (If someone is there ask them to send you a tell when they leave).

#14 is what I am referring to on the map, but #4 has Bandits with bronze weapons also.

The Aviak's that guard The Arena entrance in Lake Rathetear are also good (level 20 solo spot). They can drop Bronze weapons that sell for 1-4pp each also. Large Sewing Kits from the merchants are usually dirt cheap as 'bags' and can hold giant items, just fyi.

Sisters and Aviaks outside the Arena are the places where I culled pp to first upgrades while I was leveling Aeaolena. Beyond that, I am sure you could do a forum search for "Money Making Camps" and find ideas. Places that will earn you top dollar while you are leveling. Two birds with one stone, etc etc.

I also do not have familiarity on what level you need to camp or group for http://wiki.project1999.com/Vopuk_Shralok in Highpass..
But he is level 22 and high level characters will buy his shiny brass idol for upwards of 500pp it seems.

Good luck!
