UO Second Age

Hi there folks,

Will be signing up to the shard tonight once I get back from work and very looking forward to it. Started playing UO in 98 and couldnt leave for a long time. A friend of mine sent me an email with a link to a site that just plays UO music and it sparked my desire to play again, and play UO how it used to be... leading me to here!

Anyway, It has been a very long time since I have played and I have reverted into complete newb mode and my question is this:

Starting off with first character on the shard - what is the best way to gather a bit of cash together quickly to help fund training / random expenses?

Yes, its a very newbie question I realise but it has been so long since I actually started from scratch that I can think of the best way to get cracking. I remember vividly how I earned my first 1000 gold and being so chuffed with myself (spending a LONG time killing mongbats!) but I know that isnt the most efficient way of doing things. Done a bit of reading around here and tried to search for similar topics but couldnt get much in the way of info for a complete newbie like myself!

I was thinking along the lines of:
Cotton selling
Wool sheering
Hitting up the graveyards

Any help would be greatly appreciated - see you on there!

start a fisherman .. sell boots

All you gotta do is just mine bro. Just keep mining until you hit about 10k iron ignots. Then sell them all and you'll have like 70-80k (dont remember ignot prices). Anyways with the gold you make from selling 10k ignots just start a mage and gm magery and what not. Then hit up the dungeons and start farming for the big $$$ to get houses and to fund macroing on other chars etc..

Also when you start that mage you could also make it a mage with musicianship and provocation (typical bard/mage) to help get some gold easier. Some people just do provo right away but without magery your basically a sitting duck against pks. There are other ways but I personally like the mining for ignots method, may take a little time but it's safe and once you get it done with you got enough to really get you started to make more.
