First off, to answer your question; to a lvl 60, 1.5 plat is nothing. By the time you reach T5 (lvl 40) you can easily spend that or more on a single weapon, (rare pristine imbued). You can also spend nearly that much on a single piece of armor, (rare pristine imbued).

Now, the method you used to aquire that amount of money in a couple weeks & at lvl 14 could tell me whether you are skillful or just lucky...

If you got it by harvesting and selling a few rares, then I'd have to say you were lucky because any chimp can generate massive amounts of coin by harvesting and selling the rares through the broker since T1 rares are grossly over valued.

If on the other hand, you managed to gain that coin by crafting or looting I'd say you have shown some skill...

In either case, my suggestion would be to keep doing what you're doing and salt it away... you're going to need it soon...

I guess I am lucky in a way, becasuse my friend gave me one gold to start me off and that helped a ton.

What I did to make my money, is once I saved enough out of tradeskilling to have around 10g I bought rares and sold them at a higher price, for an example I bought out the lowest prices of a severed bone, 3 of them for 3g, then I sold them at 8g each which was the next highest price. another example is I bought 10 saffaras roots (there were only ten to buy) for a total of 78g then I sold them all for 150g. The reason why I chose rares, is because its these type of items that dont loose thier value and are safer and they sell faster.

The only problem with this is that it takes time to get started, but once you have a sytem going it really works well, right now I have 8p. I will probaly do this for a little longer (or at least until I get a better graphics card) and then I will focus more on fighting/leveling, and tradeskills. Right now I am lvl 14 (Bard)/18 (outfitter)

Edit: It also helps to have a partner like I did, my partner would buy out any copetition as soon as it comes or I would do that and he would sell. We split the money fifty-fifty. Our total gross sales are 20p.

Edit: I would not recomend doing this, I think I just got lucky because I lost almost my whole fortune in a bold move.

I think I saw my first platinum at level 25 or so. But back in MY day...

Money is easier to get, just ensure you keep your armor, gear, and spells upgraded as much as you can afford.

Be mindful of your special spell picks you get at various levels, you can save money on an upgrade by taking that special pick, and using the money for something else.
