Good market for Orc Scalps these days...sell to players who are P-leveling
their alts or evils getting better faction. Sell the Orc belts as well to players.

Can be found in locations listed here:

At 20is?

Don't just loot everything. Bias looting to low weight stackables that vendor/EC for good money. Keep hunting till your inventory is full of these. Don't be afraid to chuck less valuable items for ones that will sell for more.

Be critical with which spell upgrades you purchase; don't waste money on a spell that you will use twice before it gets upgraded.

Don't fritter away your money on ECmart. Most upgrades will give no way near the power of the spells that you are depriving yourself of. (The exception is buying a decent weapon at low levels as all classes, even wizards can melee well enough for the first dozen levels or so).

Don't vendor things that have a high turn over to players for a decent price... HQ bear pelts, LQ pelts and bone chips are worth selling to players. Spiderling silks too if you can find em quick enough. You'll also get decent money off goblin left ears and orc scalps.

Aside from replacing your newbie robe if a caster, or investing in a set of banded/bronze (and a low value weapon)... I completely agree here.

Ok, my serious advise? Do not be in a rush to level. ...

Want to make money? Don't take this guy's advice. The higher your level, the faster the plat. It's pretty simple. You'll be able to make 10x the plat at 50 than you can at 30. So just level quickly and only stop to actually farm plat if you can't afford very important spells. But so long as you actually loot mobs, this shouldn't be a problem.

Swish your sig makes me laugh. I love cats, but that would be overwhelming ha.

I would agree, at level 20,the OP should just level. But around level 30-40, you need to build bank. And you do that by slowing down, and also just farming stuff for plat. This way you can equip your character. Plat fire wedding rings don't just appear out of nowhere. You need to get those 1-2k amounts to drop on each piece of basic good gear. You will not get that by just simply pursuing levels. And that is the truth.

Additionally, enchanters and clerics need reagents. I go through at least 100p a night in peridots, not including those I give away to clerics, who apparently follow your advice.

Leveling quickly does not build bank. Building bank is diff from leveling. The OP is gonna have to just farm stuff to sock away plat at a certain point. Certainly not at lvl 20, because the drops are just not that good at that level, but soon enough.

Just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who responded with tips. Thus far, i have been able to purchase all spells and a few minor pieces of gear (weapon most importantly). The forums here are much more helpful than 'back in the day' as I believe that nearly everyone on P99 is here for the same reasons, re-living the golden years. I am always buffing and healing people I run into, even if it slows my personal leveling experience. Once I'm 56 (or hopefully able to attain click stick), free rezzes for all [You must be logged in to view images.

Swish- Nice solo guide 'thumbs up'

Lol. I've never followed ANY of this advice, ever.
