I don't know what you guys do but here is how I get GPs:
1. Stockpile a crapload of alcohol and some blessed healing potions
2. When you are ready to grind, take all the alcohol and travel from city to city as you look for people with enough money to pay you.
2.a. Traders you invested in has more money. I have a trader in Vernis that has around 100k. You need like 15-25 alcohol to get all the money from her.
2.b. Take escort and delivery missions as you travel from city to city in search for... customers.
3. When you want to call it a day, drink blessed healing potions to get rid of sickness.
*Finds this game once more*
*Installs X-Mas version*
*Makes Faerie Pianist*
*Gets a li'l tail all around town*
*Gets nuke. Blows up Palmia and dies when looting thanks to a very pissed off general*
*Goes back to Derphy and gets the secret treasure*
*Pet drinks from well. "What would you like to wish for?"*
This game rewards being a horrible person!
And all this was done before level 6 too...
~Hello~ leather seven league boots that are only .7 stones!
Nice work, but you'll have trouble ridding yourself of that karma if you're below level 6. No bonus for dying to guards. You might know that already, though. I'd also highly recommend joining the thieves guild, since your karma is already rock bottom.
Yeah, I always complete the thieves guild entrance quest and the nuke quest together. I stockpile wallets and give them to guards when I'm ready to get a positive karma again.
I always start with getting the wicked secret treasure too. Then I grind "li'l tail" until I have like 2-3m GP. I spend it all on a castle, ranches, potions of evolution and potions of potential. It's too difficult to get money at the start of the game if I don't do this.
Bull, I have saved up over 1 mil by level 14 just by dungeon looting and Noyel quests with seven league boots. Much more looting.
That takes a long time, trying to make money by just questing and looting. I can make 1m in exactly 30 minutes (minus the alcohol stockpiling time, which takes like 10 minutes)
