A guide to "Getting By" (Money)

I know you may be thinking "Why didnt he post this in the Tradeskill forum?" but the reason is quite obvious. Every so often this forum is bombarded with "I need money" "How do I get money?" "How do I get rich?" threads that are in no way helping the monk community.

First of all, I am only posting farming techniques so that you can "Get by." Meaning you will have enough money for getting the essentials for your job. (Mythkabobs, minor equipment, etc..)

Before we get started, I would like to stress that you should have a thf at 15 and your monk at 30 to be able to farm as effectively as possible. I also would like to suggest that you start a Craft as soon as possible, it will pay off later on.

I think those are enough areas to suffice for now.

REMEMBER! This is only a guide to "Getting by" dont expect large returns on any of these unless you are willing to put a lot of time into farming for items.

If you are looking to make BIG money then I highly suggest you start crafting as soon as possible, the higher you are the more money you'll make.


If anyone else would like to add any areas or information that I may have overlooked feel free to do so.
