4. Final Touches
Your first character should be the main source of your early zeny, so it's level should be placed in 2nd priority once it'd reached 50 or more. Hunt mobs for their common or uncommon loots that can sell high enough and easily gotten is it's top priority. Also, check on the server's information for the most class played in game. Use the information to your advantage, for instance, creators usually will buy stems, poison spores, mushroom spores, empty bottles, witched starsand, cactus needles, and more at a reasonable or market price since they'll need to use them for their skills or their homunculus and there are a reasonable amount of people playing that class, so the goods will always be in demand.
Also, always keep @main on, you never know when anyone will be seeking something that you have or can get easily or are currently hunting. Read the HeRO wiki at www.pandoraonline.net/heRO_wiki for the informations on custom quests and keep stocks of the required goods in storage and take them out for sale when the time is right or when people are yelling out for them.
Last but not least, make a merchant. It's not necessary nowadays that you learn discount since PnP or other competitors are already everywhere selling tools at lowered price. You should however max overcharge. In case you have junk that noone simply wants like the stuff mentioned in the first post, you'll be able to gain more than the usual price. Also, learn how to use vending. Obviously, you'd have something to sell but yelling can't do much since players play at different times. Put up a shop in a place most people gather, i wouldn't recommend Prontera since it's too crowded already and hardly anyone shops there. Once you're happy with it, type @at and you can turn off your computer and do other private stuff.
Edit:
I'll add some suggestions on where to hunt for zeny, may not be as good as it seems, but there maps works for me pretty much:
1. Orc Dungeon <3
Very easy money but rather dangerous, so i'd suggest going there as a party of 2 that can watch each others backs because obviously the place is fully packed with those undeads and annoying bats that spawn everywhere very suddenly and ruining everything.
The loots that comes from undead race sell rather high and, considering the dungeon size and monster level, very available and abundant and can pay you back the potion money. I usually leave the place 50% overweighted without the need of bringing too much potions and i'm a rogue with decent strength.
Also, Emperium. I got 2 on my first venture there. It might seem useless, but you'll see people looking for it sooner or later when they need to reset their characters at very high level, so save them up first or vend them out ASAP.
2. Yoyo's map
It's outside St. Capitonia, the monk job change location. The monsters there are weak enough and they drop a lot of food, so you might not need any potions at all. Actually, you'll have to eat the potatoes and bananas anyway, because they're rather heavy but cheap, save the strawberries to sell later. The only danger there is Choco, though i'd probably think that wouldn't be too much of a problem if you're level 50 or more. The drops are pretty decent, though might lose out if you compare the prices with orc dungeon drops, but it's an easier alternative. IMHO, mages shouldn't be there. All of them are cast sensors.
3. Thara Frog map, Comodo Dungeon
This is definately the place to find PvP and WoE cards. The drops from these frogs ain't too great, but Megalodon is undead and it's stinky scales can sell for some zeny, also i'd love to buy a rotten fish from anyone who is willing to sell it at 5k.
1 big problem, Nereid. Strangely though, my rogue can deal with it, but the knight there kept on dying because of it. Anyway, this really isn't a great place for drops, just a place for WoE and PvP cards.
My reason of going there is simply just passing by, my real goal is the Alligators at the end of the exit. Since i still can't kill them easily, i will steal zargon, worn out prison uniform, and anolian skin from them. The drops can sell for 200+ to 300+ zeny each. These reptiles aren't aggressive, just cast sensors. As long as you can flee well, you can fight them with no problem. There are Poison Spore there too, and they drop, well, poison spores, Alchemists love this item, especially if they want to save up enough ingredients for alcohol for Acid Demonstration.
4. Moscovia Forest
Not much to say here other than this place is GREAT! Good exp, great drops with decent value, class friendly. The bad side about this is, the 10k boat free. If you want to unlock the warp point in the city or dungeon, you'll need to spend quite an ungodly amount of zeny for it. It hurts a lot, but it would slowly pay off depending on your hunting speed.
Also, another bad side about this place, too crowded. Already there's too many players killing les, leaving the wood goblins alone. Both are good, but les is easier to kill plus have more market value. Goblins heal too often, so it's a pain to kill them. Also the drops sell decently, but to NPCs only. You'll be needing quite an amount of yellow or white potions here.
5. Einbech Mines
I haven't been here yet, but from my experience in other servers, this place is great for Double Strafing spammers or some level 10 fire wall and bolts. The main target is Pitman.
Steel and coal might be nice to sell if there are active blacksmiths now.
