Truthfully just get to 20-25 before you even start to worry about "farming money" ...at that point you can look at the treants in SK.

What Gildor said, only ... wait even longer if you can. There will always be a better money camp if you level up: Treants give a lot more money than sisters, but hill giants give even more, and town guards give even more than that, and then when you get to Seafuries ...

So leveling up has a huge impact on how much plat you earn, but the reverse isn't true. If you replace an AC 4 item with an AC 8 item, it's just not going to make you level noticeably faster. There are a few specific items that are an exception (eg. the shaman's JBB or that AE staff druid's get), but in general XP > plat until you get to the high levels.

So, if you can find a good XP camp that happens to give some plat, great. But otherwise, you're really doing yourself a disservice by running all over Norath not XPing while you try to find an open plat camp. If you just grab whatever XP camp is closest and open, you'll level up quickly and be able to earn much more money than you ever could at the sisters (or any other low level plat camp).
