I never made much plat until I leveled up a Druid and became a port whore. But I did play a lot of alts at the time. Still do. But a Druid can make scary plat porting. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Play a Mage or a Necro. Doesn't need any gear, none, and by any means not every spell they get.

After seeing the poll on how much druids make per port, holy cow, I think I should have started a dr00d instead...

Now I wanna make a Druid just to have a Porter.

What level can I start grouping in LGuk and SolB and start camping mobs that drop items worth over 1k? I just hit 25 tonight and I'm going to bind at HHK for a while.

It's really pretty hard for a caster to be so strapped for cash that he can't afford all of his essential spells, imo, even if you don't sell stuff to players. At low levels you just hunt humanoids/skeletons and vendor the armor/weapon/bag drops that aren't upgrades. Most casters can kill wisps at 12 (some sooner) even without any twinking, and you can make hundreds of pp in the course of killing wisps for a few levels, which buys essential spells into the 20s or even 30s... and by that point casters can be killing guards and vendoring fine steel left and right.

You're not gonna get rich doing this, but it is an easy general route to follow to make enough money to get you by while also earning xp. I don't know enough about leveling melees legit to be able to talk about them, however. I also never really bothered to focus on making pp for buying gear while leveling first characters on a server, since they were always casters, so I don't have a list of go-to camps to make more significant PP other than just checking out typical camps like GBS or goblin earrings or fishbone earring or goblin gazughi ring or something.

Not trying to get rich. Just trying to get by. Thanks for your information. I found it pretty helpful to my situation.

HHK guards is how I started my bank roll

When I was a true noob I rolled an enc and I fell into the same problem. I couldn't afford my level 16, 20, or 24 spells.

I had to just buy the ones I absolutely needed. All I can say is as you level up the rewards get better and then you can go back (or not) and buy those miscellaneous spells. For instance - I didn't buy a single illusion spell until 44? I think. Of course, who needs an illusion when you're already playing the master race: Gnome.

To make it short, the fastest way to make money is to level.
Selling standard loot and stuff like HQ bear skins is more than enough to pay for the spells you need. And some +3 INT/WIS item isn't going to make a difference in your gameplay. So just level up.
