Shadowfayes' tips are quite excellent (pity she quit long ago
)
Here's my 2 cents:
I often come across low lvl chars askin for money for pots cos they went broke. For those below lvl 15-the easiest and most obvious way is-hunt creeps outside town, and sell the drops that you get at npc!
A few items sold should be enough to earn some wz for pots.
For higher chars-Go to the center of R1 (Goto R2 first and walk up the stairs on either side) and hunt torturers. They drop items like crazy, and each one sells for about 30k at NPC. A few drops shud have u rolling in cash
. Moreover, at higher levels anyone with area attack can kill several torturers (and their hounds) at a time.
I can't say exactly how high u need to be for this to work-I started goin to R1 in the 50s. Just give it a try, if it's not too tough you can swing it.
A special tip for archers, considering I'm one
Archers have it tougher than others cos without arrows they are helpless. You can put away your bow and use ur fists...but what can a poor little archer do against even memoras? (a poor little <15 archer, that is)
Early on-you must realize this and conserve ur pots accordingly.
Dont just stand there and dish out arrows at a memora-hit and run! This is the most advertised archer tactic-but many new kids forget this. Hit a few shots, then as it approaches you, move away, and repeat. Also make sure other monsters dont' get interested in you in the mean time.
(I have a separate article on monster dodging in this section)
If you are REALLY desperate for money-create a new character and do the first quest where you meet all NPCs. You will get a shue potion at the end that you can sell off and get 20k wz at npc, or more from a player.
Thats it and happy hunting!
