Making money non-tradeskill

[Peabody30]

<DIV>Hi, my wizard is lvl 48 and I need to make some money for upgrading spells.  I have 90gold to my name now and it is the most money I have ever had.  Where are some good places to farm without doing tradeskills.  I need the plat baby!!</DIV>

Harvest. Sinking sands would be the best place for your lvl, you can sell/trade the rares you dont need for ones you do need (vanadium for 50-59 spells). Also loot everything you can and either sell on broker or to merchant.

<DIV>My harvesting skilla are at 1.  Is it gonna be hard to raise now?  I also prefer to camp monsters.  It gives me that everquest 1 feeling.  I like camping rares or farming areas.  If harvesting is the only way to make money then I probably won't do it.  Its ridiculous that crafters have all the money in this game.  What ever happened to adventuring for fortunes.</DIV>

Well as you harvest each tier you will find rares that you can sell on the broker.  Additionally many quests require harvesting skills and if you dont want to go broke getting decent food/drink  you can *harvest* the raws for  a friendly provisioner.  Many common raws also sell well on the market so dont throw them away either.  Not all crafters are wealthy.  I have spent more on crafting than I have made.  I do it to bolster myself and my friends(57 alchemist).  Many crafters I know are in the same boat, however we are *loved* dearly by our friends and I have not had to buy food or drink(bosprites wine, etc.) in months.  Spell upgrdes are near free for me as well.  So there is an upside to crafting without profit and harvesting is the most reliable way to make money.  When you get all Adept III and a few masters you can try and farm named.-Acelia 70 Wizard of Nektulos<div></div>

<DIV>I'm not mad crafters.  I am glad they can make money in this game because they get screwed in alot of other games.  But having no way to make money as an adventurer is not the idea.  Both play styles should be able to make money.  It's just a time sink.  I like to kill monsters but I can't play the game that way because I can't afford any of my spells to keep killing monsters.  I am a wizard and I want to blow things up.  Harvesting is for people who like crafting.  I do not like crafting.</DIV>

well if you dont want to put fourth the effort to get money then just be quiet . the end <div></div>

Umm... I'm a 70 sage and I'm broke (and I havent bought gear for many levels).Not all crafters actually make money... some are shafted in this game a lot more so than other games...

Im a 70 sage as well...so I feel your pain.  The only money I make is from the random Adept 3 job, or when my guildies feel guilty about me updating there entire spell book.  How great would it be if they switched the appIVs and AdeptI drops?  AppIVs drop from chests, and adeptIs are crafted.  Its a pipe dream, I know. <div></div>
