Well, in the mean time, what, if any tradeskills, can a High Elf cleric make money from?

None. It doesn't matter what class/race you are, tradeskills (in classic EQ at least) are for losing money, not making it.

Not trying to be mean or anything, but that's the truth, at least on a server of this age (maybe when it first started things were different). Jewlerycraft can "make" money, but to get to the skill needed to do that you will have to spend a TON of money, and it will likely be years before the money you "make" with jewlerycraft balances out all the money you spent on it in the first place. As for the rest of the tradeskills, they can't even make money at all really (although tailoring might be able to in Velious).

You probably can make a little money selling SoW potions or 10-slot backpacks, since both require very little plat to get to the necessary skill level. However, when you factor in all the time you spend both making the goods and sitting in EC trying to sell them, you'll quickly realize how un-profitable doing either one really is.

My advice (as I say in the Treasure Hunting Guide) is to not worry about money. You really don't need it at the lower levels, and once you level up you'll be able to earn plat much more easily.
