Introduction

For many of your activites you may have noticed that you need some money to operate. Having a good supply of gold makes life a bit easier.

The first step is to learn to manage your money. The safest place to keep gold (and anything else) is in your bank box. Besides guarding your bank box, bankers provide a few other services when you say the key words: Check : Say "check 10000" and the banker will turn gold into a bank check. The largest check a banker can make is 1,000,000. Checks of a larger sum must be made by using a checkbook which can be purchased in the Pandora Coins room via a moongate. Checks are convenient for many purposes such as transferring large amounts to other players. Bank checks are blessed. Withdraw #: Takes an amount of gold out of your bank box and drops it into your backpack. Balance: When you say this, the banker will tell you how much gold you have in your bank.

How to start making money on Pandora

Knowing how to handle your money doesn't help much when you don't have any. Here are some of the typical ways people acquire their riches:

Killing monsters - This is the old fashioned, tried and true way. All manner of creatures seem to have a use for gold, and are easily parted from it with a few whacks on the head.

Crafting - Learning a trade and selling to NPC vendors is not a very effective way of making money. However if you learn the market and figure out what people need, you can sell crafted items to other players, especially if you're using skills that are difficult to train. Some things you might be able to sell: Weapons, Armor, Imbued items, Jewelry; Full potion kegs of deadly poison, Greater agility, and Greater strength and repair deeds. Put your items on a player vendor, or ask people's needs in town.

Harvesting - Just like crafting, selling items to players is the most effective way to make money from harvesting. Common needs: ingots of all colors; leather, especially spined and barbed; regular bones (kill horde minions and zombies for them); boards.

Selling loot - If you can learn to identify higher end equipment, and also manage to kill the creatures that have them, you can make a killing by selling the equipment.

Taming animals - Animal trainer NPCs will pay you for supplying them with the animals they need. You can train your taming skill at the same time. The higher level rewards can be sold to other players. You can also tame strong animals, train them up and sell them to players. (or bond them first by stabling them for a week for even more profit!)

Bulk Order System - Blacksmith, tailor, and Animal Trainer NPCs provide rewards for filling bulk orders of equipment. Train your skills while you do them. The higher level rewards can be sold to other players.

Champions - Get a group of players together and complete a champion spawn. Grab the loot and the gold; use the power scrolls or sell them to other players.

Keep in mind that wealth is not only counted in gold. Owning a powerful piece of equipment or even a rare decorative item increases your net worth considerably. 

Places to go

Some of the places you might want to go are:

• Hunting - Newby dungeon, or Tomb of kings.
• Crafting - New Insula has a brilliant craft house just south of the training room.
• Harvesting - Any forest or mine. A lot of people tend to use the mine north of brittain.
• Taming - Try taming a Frost dragon or Greater Dragon to train and sell. These can be tamed only with high taming skill!
• Bulk orders - Get those runic hammers and powerscrolls, they count up nicely when you find the correct person for them. Also runic sewing kits and fetching tools are highly sought after.
