The best way to gain money is ilegally but legally is
saffer... Choose your side! Choose any character. If you're going
ilegally it's often better to use a thief and any other if you
like to be a safe, legal money gainer:
-LEGAL
It's often better to tailor. Raise your tailor skill with a
tinker, but don't forget to save some money to buy some yards of
sheets, a sewing kit, scissors and yarns... Use the sewing kit
first, then the scissors and the rest as you intend. Sell it to a
clothes shop or something....
Write a book. That's what books are for. Then, sell to scribes.
Buy some scrolls, potions, runes and sell it. It often gives you
money.
Fight. Sell the bones, and the entrails of the animal/beast and
get some money!
There are more, but I'll let you to find out... :-)
-ILEGALLY
The way to get the most money is to steal books from libraries
and sell it to scribes. You'll get 6-7gps per book, so it's a
good deal.
Find some PC and drag him/her to a place where you leave the
protection of Lord British's guards, then, KILL HIM/HER!!! But
look out! Although you can steal from him/her's dead body, he/she
may report you to the guards, so stay on the look out!
I found this nifty bug (or is it not?): find a place with rooms
and NPCs. Find an NPC near a room. Try to steal an object with
little or no value. Log off before you get killed. Log on. When
it gives you the chance of becoming a ghost or the penalties,
choose the panalties... TA-DAAAAA!! The NPC's backpak is in the
room and ready for the taking!
There are more, but, like in above, you must find out!
