Money?

The name of the game at low levels for me wasn't fishing, though that does work well if you're patient. Crystals are fine, but also there are many low level synth recipes that high level people can't be bothered to do. Check out leather and ingot prices and you'll be shocked. Sheep leather, copper ingots are both usually tremendous profit makers. Some enemy drops do fine as well, beehive chips, silk thread. All of your gil for now, is likely to come from the AH, selling low level things that lazy people pay wayyyyyy too much for.

Pretty good idea too, but the dark crystals for leather might be harder to come by. I don't recall any spots with a lot of fungi to farm them and they're too expensive for someone with 500g starting capitol. Ingots for sure though. Go to Ghelsba Outpost and show the orcs who's boss and you'll be swimming in fire crystals for ingot synths.
