Utter newbie (!) - how to make money?

[Lill-Leif]

1. go to freeport
2. hunt skeletons and orc pawns (save bonechips, equip cloth armor, sell rusty weapons/cracked staffs)
3. buy bags/spells
4. go to ec, sell your bonechips and if you are in luck there is always some friendly player willing to help new characters

Since you are in RV, you may see some higher levels killing the deputies. If they are and they are not looting the shield from the deputy, get them and vendor those for almost 2p ea.

I managed to twink a character with a level 12 alt - I farmed the garbage out of skeletons in Nro near the inn. That's the single biggest collection of decaying skels i've ever seen...and they respawn fast. I'd run around the inn and gather 15-20 of them and kill them all.

Then I found some guy buying chips at 10p a stack. I was a happy lowbie.

Y'all rock. Thanks for the ideas!

ps. Don't think I can do the gender trick, I got tired of being hit on last time around ;-)

Kill Bixies in MT and Kithicor during the day (assuming the undead are despawning now?) to loot Honeycombs that are selling to chanters doing the Stein of Mogguk quest for 3-5pp ea. The honeycombs are probably the biggest hassle in the Stein quest so you'll probably be able to make some nice plat!

Selling stacks of batwings/bonechips is pretty worth it. I made around 30pp last night selling all of the ones I had been holding on to (I mean I was killing the mobs anyway for exp, might as well make a buck or 2, right? :P) while I leveled. I'm only level 5 so that will take care of most of my needs for the time being. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

People buy batwings? There are vendors with unlimited supplies of them. But bonechips can be excellent money makers because everyone and their brother is a necro or an SK. I'm kind of in the same boat as you, OP. On some spell levels I can't afford to buy all of my spells. One thing that you have to have to make EQ playable is a lot of patience. Realize that, and money won't be such a big deal.

Call everyone 'hun'...

This, for me, is a telltale sign that the player behind that female character is a guy. ;P

Amen.
