I know that, Arien, after all, I am just curious.

Also, I do need a skill to train.

Fighting, if you know where...

Herb lore is stupid jack-hammer-clicking, money: yes, fun: no.

Tailoring works also quite well.

Later, smithing rocks.

Hmm... you can do many things. Best of all is still being a corrupt townguard to become wealthy :lol: .

I would say smithing, if youre good enought. Making money with fighting is nearly impossible, even if you know where :) , you barely get enought if you have very high skills to pay your stuff, Arameh is not mining for fun :P

it's the same in all the games: smithing.


lots of fighters around, almost everyone has one. so many good guys neeed to practice, so they need to buy helmets and swords a ton in case they brake.

Ever thought about being a mercenary?

Beating people up and getting paid for it...sounds fair. :twisted:

While fighting is pretty low in pay, killing piggies, cooking their meat and selling it is the only business in the game that doesn't require buying equipment beforehand. Always keep that in mind. :wink:

Not true, group with people and get rare items and sell them to Salathe. That is good money. :wink:

How exactly does a carpenter make good money? Mine is decent, almost completely green, but he makes very little money

Carpentry makes you a rich bitch, because even low items like plates sell for a greate price..its ridicoulus..a farmer has much more work or a cook (yeah bitching again) and can't sell his things.
