{Recommended combat skill 8 in chosen attack style} The starting area of the game is one of the best for gold making. Once you've cleared the catacomb and removed the rubble blocking the way to the graveyard you can start doing this. First run over to the mausoleum that has 73 gold pieces on it pick it up run to the building with the spruce crossbow (43gp). Head into the main catacomb go to the alchemy area pick up the mild mana potion, the archery potion, and the 3 black-powder vials (202gp each!). clear through the rest of the tomb kill the boss and leave the area. sell loot off at the shop total profit from the run should average almost 900gp. By the time you start this loop over all loot should be re-spawned and can be collected again.

In ratcliff village there's a mining foremen who offers a quest, he wants 10 copper and will reward you with 150gp and 200 mining xp skill book (affected by xp buffs). there are 3 copper nodes right beside him and you should be able to mine and turn in without stopping ever. DO NOT BUY SHADY SLIMS TRINKET its an obvious scam but not a costly mistake as you can easily make infinite money doing this.

In the 2nd small village just after the starting area is a stable-hand with a very easy quest. He wants 5 carrots and 5 Barley to feed the horses. you can find both of these on the farms just a short step away. return to him with your groceries and he will give you "horsey" the pack mule. he can store 15 items and will then run and deposit them in your bank and returns in just a few minutes. He helps make those long gathering trips way easier and more profitable, and he might encourage you to pick up drops you normally wouldn't.
