If you want good money for a warrior, destard is not the place for you. Shame is amazing money. Earth eles drop something in the area of 120-180 gp, and a lot of times multiple gems. The other day an earth ele dropped 3 diamonds, a ruby, and an emerald. Add that to the gold it dropped and thats like 700 gp right there.
Im to the point where I dont need to keep this to myself anymore, but if you lack barding and magery skills, find the Fire ele room in shame. 4 of them spawn there, and a few eles, including 2 more fires spawn outside the room. You can farm these guys in a circle and make 5k in 10 mins easy. Fire ele loot is great, 400+gp and gems, scrolls, and the occasional magic item(dont think i got anything higher than force but its somethin). Doesnt hurt that they are easy either. Id just start on earth eles till you get into at least upper 80s in your weapon skill and some healing.
This is how I funded my first mage, bought a large brick, and farmed up well over 150k in a couple days.
