While in the land of Aetolia you will quickly find that you must obtain material wealth, usually in the form of golden sovereigns. There are a number of ways to earn this gold, ranging from simple quests to producing goods that your fellow Aetolians may find useful.

What follows is a brief list of some methods of earning a living:

Questing

There are a multitude of quests available that will pay gold. This gold may range from just 20 or 30, up to thousands. For newbies, we suggest exploring Minia, Lodi, Gorshire, and Kalebb, as there are many quests there to provide one with money for a shiny new sword, or a perhaps a stylish leather backpack.

Merchanthood

If you have something to sell, you could go about selling it in a number of ways. The first, and simplest way, is simply to ask the people you know if they need to buy what you’re selling. Clearly however, this isn’t a very efficient way, and you probably don’t know enough people to make a living from. You have three major options to reach a larger audience.

The Market Channel

This channel exists for the sole purpose of selling or asking to buy good or services. It is free to use.

Classified ads

These ads are inexpensive to purchase, and can be viewed by anyone. See HELP ADS for details.

Shops

Buying a shop requires the most initial investment of these three methods. There are many player shops scatterd throughout the cities and Delos. If you wish to buy one, contact the owner of the shop and make him or her an offer. You may sometimes see shops that are closed. This is usually a result of unpaid taxes, resulting in the city closing down the shop. In these cases, it may be possible to purchase the shop from the city. The Chancellor and his aides are responsible for the ships of a city. HELP SHOPKEEPING will provide more extensive information about running a shop.

Vermin Hunting

Aetolia’s cities are quite plagued with vermin. These disease-ridden creatures live off the detritus of civilization, prowling the streets and the sewers in large numbers. Each city hosts a collector who will pay you for the corpses of these vermin. This is probably the best way to earn money fast if you have nothing to sell.

In Ashtan, seek the old woman named Grisnelda.
In Enorian, look for Crazy Hakhim.
In Bloodloch, Enzo the Exterminator is tasked with hunting a different kind of vermin.
In Spinesreach, Procurio the chef is looking for vermin that are high in protein.

These are not the only ways of earning money in Aetolia. We will leave it to you to discover the full range of possibilities.
