    lol get people to pick up Zarbons Cup and close the doors so the monks kill them and then steal there loot. Or trick them into going to wilderness to do some quest and backstab them

    Woodcutting was the best way to make cash by a long shot. Also If you are a member then go get a kingdom, Kingdoms are huge when it comes to making millions. Just remember to set most of your workers on maples, that way you get tree seeds.

    To have a kingdom there are two quests to beat, and you must be a member. Miscellania is one of the islands located a bit northwest from the shores of Rellekka. Take the ship from the middle dock of the port. One of the two quests you have to finish is The Fremennik Trials The other one is not a must but is recommended. Once on the island, go west into the castle, up the stairs and have a talk with King Vargas. This is the starting point of both Throne of Miscellania and the other quest Royal Trouble.

    You can have 10 workers if you only beat the first quest are 15 if you beat both.

    Requirements

    * Level 10 Farming and a rake to help Gardener Gunnhild. (A rake can be bought from Gunnhild for 15 coins)
    * Level 30 Mining and a pickaxe to help Miner Magnus.
    * Level 40 Fishing and a lobster pot or harpoon to help Fisherman Frodi.
    * Level 45 Woodcutting and an axe to help Lumberjack Leif.
    * Level 35 Woodcutting and an axe to help Carpenter Kjallack. (Only after finishing Royal Trouble)
    * Level 10 Farming and a rake, a watering can or a bucket of compost to help farmer Fromund. (Only after finishing Royal Trouble)


    Try and keep your village percentage at 100%, it go's down 1% everyday. From this kingdom basicly people work for you and you pay them, however you can make more off of what you are getting and some times way more.

    Small tip for people who are after the bird nests: use 9 workers for Maples and the 6 wherever wanted elsewhere. As you get 1 nest per 100 maples, using 9 workers gives 803 maples per day at full investment (75k per day) and 100% rating. Using the 10th worker doesn't get you to 900, therefore it does not get you another nest. So place the other 6 people somewhere else, maybe flax so you can work on some crafting.

    The quests are not hard however i did them on my level 104 guy, but my little bro beat them around level 65. Only put 9 guys on maples, the only reason for is for maples and birds nest. The tree seeds you get are great, you pay say 75k a day, Lets do some math :yup:

    You get 1 nest per 100 maples, using 9 workers gives 803 maples per day at full investment (75k per day) and 100% rating. Using the 10th worker doesn't get you to 900, therefore it does not get you another nest.

    Now you have 9 workers working getting 803 maples, last time i played thats worth 52,195 Gold. Ok not bad now you also are getting 9 birds nests, on average 4 of them will be seeds. Those seeds could be worth anywhere from 4,000 gold for all to 800,000 gold for all, lets say 30,000.

    Now you have 82,195 gold, not bad you only payed 75,000.

    BUT WAIT, YOU HAVE 6 MORE WORKERS !!!!

    Hmm.... where to put them. Well you could put all on flax, and get 750 flax and 1 herb seed. Not bad you can make the to bowstrings to sell of just sell the flax.

    Or if you really want seeds, put them in the farm for seeds. You get 286 seeds and 1 tree seed.

    HOWEVER.............. To get the max out of you workers you must have 10 Times the amount due that day in your coffer, Witch means.... KEEP 750,000 GOLD IN IT AT ALL TIMES !!!

    I normally put 5 million gold in it and dont worry for awhile.
