Making money in Faldon can be challenging if you don't know what is
saleable, and who to sell it to. Gathering a large stash of treasure
becomes easier when you can defeat higher level monsters that drop 5-10
gold each, but until then you need a way to buy that 20gp kite shield. Mice and rats are an excellent early-game source of income. You can find them at the Rat Shack, west of Valour. Lorelei, who you've already met if you did the first quest, will purchase their furs for three-fifths of a gold piece each. Later on, if you want to do Robin Cutthroat's Rodent Fur Coat quest, you will need five-hundred furs, so be sure not to throw any away. Lorelei is very generous. She will also purchase snake skins, for nine-tenths of a gold piece each. Better money, but not without reason. Snakes are significantly harder than mice. Be sure you are at least level 3 or 4 before trying to take them on. Also, unlike mice, snakes are aggressive, so if multiple are nearby you may be in a lot of trouble. Penwick here is a looney. Ten or fifteen levels in the future, when you no longer have to flee from skeletons, head over to eastern Wuville - turkeys are often found there. They drop ten feathers. Fletcher will buy feathers for three-tenths of a gold piece each, so you can rapidly accumulate enough for better armor and weaponry. On a final note, the best-priced place to buy said armor and weaponry is the Market. Press Shift-F4 to access it. |
