This one never fails.

1) Level up.
2) Kill bigger mobs, get better loot.
3) Sell loot from #2.

Disappointingly enough his advice is the most sound as far as making serious money. You may be able to kill HHK guards for their swords, or farm a lot of spider silks, but getting to 50+ is the best thing you can do for your income.

Easiest way I make platinum with the least amount of effort is in Misty killing the wall guards. The guards along the wall are all mid 30s in level with the exception of Deputy Budo. Every guard, with the exception of Deputy Budo, will always carry a generic spear that sells for rougly 9-10pp each and a shield that sells for 1-2pp each. Killing all 6 guards (again not including Budo) will land you 72pp at a vendor(with decent cha) and 1-2 pp each in corpse cash. My 50 monk drops every one of these deputies in just a few seconds. I am not exactly sure on the spawn rate in Misty but I am guessing its 20ish minutes maybe with the exception of the two guards at the gate, Deputy Keld and Deputy Asler who spawn much more quickly.

This will of course ruin your faction with the Rivervale Merchants, the halfling mayor, Guardians of the Vale (the halfling guards) and the Storm Guard (Im guesing these are the dwarven guards in Butcher). I have absolutely ruined these factions and to this day the only problem I have had with it is that it is somewhat annoying to enter Rivervale and walk around with guards attacking me. ;)

There might be easier ways but I do not know of them. This is by far the easiest way I have found to get pp in a short amount of time by myself. Just be wary of Budo, who can be a handful sometimes and does not always drop a spear and the gate which can be messy if you are kos and can not yet handle the 2-3 dep fight.

I just made 4000 plat over a few hours and I'm only level 37. How did I do it? By cleaning up inside the Castle of Mistmoore. Now that Veeshan's Peak was revamped (again) all the 65's on my server are mass AE killing the castle occupants for faction. Corpse cash can range from 5 gold to 4 plat a piece. Loot drops usually as FS or Bronze weapons/armor. In one hour I can make 500 pp. Gate out to sell then run back immediately. Of course, get the group's permission before looting their 'hard-earned' kills.

Heres an easy (and widely known) way to make plat pre-50.

Farm Hill Giants in Rathe Mountains. Not only do most drop 20-40+ plat, they also drop Fine Steel weapons. I can solo them and make around 500 plat in a half hour. If your a lower lvl and cant solo yet, then partner with someone and split the cash. It still is very profitable.

to be honest... the main way I made cash when I was a lowbie was in Kurns Tower and East Karana... In Kurns Tower you can farm bonechips and sell stacks for anywere from 2-20pp per stack. and in East Karana farm silks from the carrion spiders... I have learned that the crag spiders may be a bit more difficult to you average lowbie; in general, a stack of spider silk runs 50pp or more easily; GL and seriously you should farm them and set up a /trader in the /bazaar... Hope I helped...

In addition to the bone chips, the loot in the basement of Kurn's tower isn't bad, either.
