easiest way to make gold at low lvls and even at higher lvls as gold drops are very low is brewing. we have a shop at west gate of ark called emporium that buys all the things we need.
at the very low lvls easiest is collecting plants u find on ground buying scrolls in ruby mine scroll shop and brew baff pots for example we buy sanc pots for 7k and most buffs for 5k.
http://darkswords.eu/library/shop-map/10/ here u can check what shop buys or sell and prices.
later on as u lvl and can go hunt in more dificult areas u can brew teles returners and many other pots.
normaly for pots we need we put up the highest purchase price among the shops so can tell what clan needs most through that.
