Early game money making

[MKCyborg]

Simple question: What would you say is the best way to make money early in the game? I'm about halfway through world 1 with one of each main class and a beginner I'm planning on making a Journeyman.

1) Sell Thread from the anvil
2) Unlock the tree in the Slime map and farm the Walking Sticks (need lots of accuracy, they drop plenty of money)
3) Get lucky and find a stack of Average Exp Potions in your guild box (you'd make 7+ gold selling those, but it's the least reliable way due to RNG)

1) You might have a need for thread down the road yourself.

Not past T1 items and if youre rushing slime (Which, if you want money, you want to do) its definately worth the gold for stamp upgrades.

You'll still want thread later on for alchemy but since it's much much easier to produce smithing items later in the game selling is fine. I sold trusty nails and boring bricks early on, thread is the most efficient for xp and gold but you have to be more active when making it because you'll hit storage cap quicker. I'd also recommend selling monster drops like bean slices or slime sludge if you need quick cash and have excess. Sticks from the walking sticks are great to sell since you can farm for both the gold drop and the item drops, plus you need to kill loads to unlock an area anyways so you'll have a bunch.

i wouldnt listen to any of these, youll need all of those resources, untill youre able to print in w3 stockpile everything, if u need money bad put one of ur pushers on sticks or a couple guys on an exp right area over night, learned quick youll need almost everything eventually

tl;dr:
-sell common drops if you can collect them quick enough again so you don't mind the loss
-get money cards (like Baba Yaga, kill as often as possible)
-purchase anvil upgrade early (if you have collected enough non purchased gems), will always be helpful, your archer is the anvil master

Would agree with "SCY" here, though your needs shift several times until end game, earlier you will want to keep a lot of stuff, but you will mostly not need it in huge amounts. So I'd say sell what items from common drops you don't need to badly if you think you can collect it quickly enough again. If you look for drops that have no other use, others have mentioned the stick monster and I'll mention the acorn one above it, the card is also increasing gold and the drop you will only need for 2 uses, and not very much in quantity (well much if you're too early but it is a negligible amount, and as an aside, if you're later into the game you will get literal millions and billions of items and selling stuff will only be useful for making space, it will take a lot of time to get to that point but it is something to look forward to :P)

What's always good is getting cards from monsters that increase dropped coins, like Baba Yaga. Hint: try to kill this as often as possible, much later you will want to have as many cards from everything as possible, and that thing is coming in limited quantities but the card gives you a lot of added money.

As others have said, your anvil will be a good friend to you, whether you sell items or stockpile for other purposes, it will always be relevant. If you have the gems to spare, purchase the golden twin hammered anvil early. (certainly not advising of buying gems with real money, you get enough on the way and in events etc)

1 don't worry about earning money early on you naturally earn more money as you get further into the game your better off focusing on pushing than trying to earn money w1
2. don't make a journeyman so early 7th character is the absolute earliest you want a journeyman and probably best as your last charecter it just really slows down your account til you can set it up properly

[bunies]

push higher levels and kill higher level stuff

untill you can do gmush kills to raise % money drops you really don't need that much money
