I know this isn't the point of the game, but the easily, fastest and most consistent way
of making money is by mining. Preferably in Clemens Cave and Gigant Mt ( becasue they have
the largest variety of valuable items.), if you haven't gotten up there well, there's your
new goal, cuz you'll definitely need to complete all the caves in the end anyways. If you
have the long sword, you've already have the stuff to p*** Toros cave and Carmite, as long
as you pack lots and lots of medicine and antidote ( buying more is better than buying
less) to get the money to start stuff off compete in the treasure hunt to get 10,000
dollars or 1000 wood. Personally I'd get wood, cuz I can make money and I'm too lazy to
look for wood, but in your case, take the money defintiely.
