Make money as beginner?

[ZanyScum]

What is easy money?
Anything better as magic logs for 600?
And having to harvest and create stuff and only get 1000 is not what I am begging for. ;-)

Fishing can be quite profitable early,
At level 80 you can fish for 'Raw Magic Fish' which sells for 960g.

You could also check the wiki for other methods:

But i am not sure if all of them are updated

Thank you, That is a great link.

I found my first money maker was killing chickens and selling feathers
my next money maker was killing cows, trading their leather for green leather from the shop, and then selling the green leather to the shop for double the money
my third money maker was taking all the money from the first two and buy gem gloves. As many as I could and mining my way to my first 20M
after that, agility and thieving made my first 1B
and don't forget township. Once you get your trading post up it makes you idle gold

If you want a long term money maker but boring as hell....fishing for gold that you spend on township town halls. You wont worry about money after that but its a long time to set up.

fishing and cooking untill you get to your first 500-600k gold. then mining with gem gloves (can be bought for 500k per 2000 charges)

Will I really make more money than with just selling magic logs?

Fishing serves two purposes. Gives you food for combat. Sells well once you near max level. You can even get fish that don't need to be cooked.

Thieving is also popular but you need food and auto eat so...

You can also just mine until you can sell gold, mithril and adamantite.

The gems are worth much more in the long run and you can also sell the ore.

Thieving is good, especially once you reach level 99 with it.
Also, doing township tasks help a lot, especially those that give you 10M/25M gold reward.

I like mining gold ore, smelting it to bars, and selling the bars. 142gp apiece, so at level 40 mining and smithing, ~4.4s per bar means ~32gp/s or 116k per hour offline, completely passive and safe.

But you have to switch between these two actions, right?

At the very beginning and if you have AoD, mining is generally the best option (by mining crystals). Save until you have 500k, then buy gem gloves. They pay for themselves and the rest is bonus cash for you. Main advantage of mining over fishing is that is way faster, and all veins and crystals take the same amount of time to mine. Is relatively simple to get <2s, or even 1.5s per action. Crystals (lv40) sell for 100g and Pure Crystals for 750g, and at 1.5s per action early on you get better profit that fishing.

Fishing eventually becomes much better than mining, but for that you need gear and abilities so that you can catch several fishes per fishing action,

Until you can consistently get around 3+ fishes per action, you should probably stick with mining (which is also a more natural progression, as you generally need ingots to improve all the tools to lower action time and relevant buiffs).

Do crystal mining and spend the money on Township. Once you max out Township, which should take maybe 3-4 weeks, money will keep rolling in without you having to do anything and gold will be something you don't think about anymore.

With crystal mining, you are talking about gems?
Do you just sell the gems? Or do you create stuff and then sell the gems?

Crystals require AoD, but otherwise don't need anything extra. They're just inserted directly into the mining list. Mine low-tier crystals with gem gloves and when you get up to pure crystals, swap to mining gloves.

my biggest initial boom in cash was planting carrion tree seeds and selling what I got from it

your best bet though is to get the township town halls built. you really just don't look at your gold amount anymore a week or two after you build #8.
