Guide:Moneymaking — tibia

How to use this guide

This guide assumes you know what you're doing. It won't explain how to play the game, it's more of a list of money sources.
Some of the items in this list may not be very profitable on your server. Judge for yourself whether each is worth the time.
In this list, "Tasks" sections are repeatable quests or actions. Quests have one-time rewards.
A word on quests: many in this guide cannot be done comfortably alone at the minimum level. It is up to you to decide when and how to do the quests. Some are designed to require a group of players - these details are not mentioned here. Also not considered is that some quests may be done through a paid quest service.
Some items in this list may require a large or active community. Therefore some points may not be applicable in all servers.

Pick up all Creature Products.
Don't be afraid to pick up gold if you are really hard on cash.
Think about the future. Making money is obviously easier as a higher level, so if you can defer some of the costs you should consider it.
Plan your equipment upgrades. Think about equipment not only for their defensive value but also how much you will spend, and how much you may lose. For example: on many servers the Zaoan Legs are worth about the same Esrik will buy them for. This means that if you decide to upgrade later, you will lose nearly nothing because Esrik will give you your money back. On the other hand, Dwarven Legs are harder to come by and may be worth more than the 40k Gnomission pays for them. Furthermore, Zaoan Legs provide almost the same defensive value, so those are definitely a wiser investment.
Use the Market to your advantage. Many players want to get rid of their loot fast and don't bother visiting the Djinns or Rashid. This is where you come in. You can place offers on the market for those kind of items offering a slightly lower price than the NPCs buy them for, and then go sell them yourself. Buy them in bulk and you'll be rich in no time.

Do the Venore Daily Tasks Quest and Goblin Merchant Quest (together). This will get you 2100 gold and 6200 experience.
Note: Low levels (8-30) may have difficulty with the Goblin Merchant Quest Corym tasks Destroy and Busy. Without these two tasks you will get 1500 gold.

Tip: Hunting for mouldy cheese can be time-consuming. The best place to hunt for them would be the Swamp Troll Cave if it isn't camped, or Femor Hills. Stock up for many days if possible. However, you may want to skip this task as it consumes a lot of time in comparison to the other tasks.
You can also farm some interesting low level monsters in Venore that can bring you a lot of money, such as Amazon,Valkyrie and Swamp Troll. The Amazon and Valkyrie drop Protective Charm (normally cost between 1~2k gold), used for Imbuing, and the Swamp Troll drop Medicine Pouch (normally cost between 1.5~3k gold), used for a quest. The price may vary from server to server from these items.
There's are also the Honeycomb, dropped by the Wasp (normally cost between 2k~4k gold). It's a bit rarer to drop the item, though.
Whenever you are in vicinity of one, open a usable crate. You can find these in many places around Thais and in Yalahar. Don't go actively looking for them, only open them when you're actually in the neighbourhood, it's not worth traveling for.

Harvest Sugar Oat and sell them on the market.
Search the Kazordoon Dwarf Mines for Dwarven Pickaxes to sell on the market. Some players pay a fair amount for this to quickly gain access to Yalahar.
Fish for Northern Pikes. You can sell these now for a modest amount or wait for August's Hot Cuisine Quest.
Sell Hot Cuisine Quest items during August. Some items to consider are: Cream Cake, Candy, Candy Cane, Bar of Chocolate, Peanut, Northern Pike, Sandcrawler Shell, Bottle of Bug Milk.

Buy Empty Goldfish Bowls from furniture store and fill them underwater to later sell on the market.
Atlases may be sold for higher on the market than they are bought for. A lot of players who need this cannot buy it.
Sell Hot Cuisine Quest items during August. Some items to consider are: Flask of Demonic Blood, Shrimp, Rice Balls.

Collect large amount of Empty Potion Flasks in high level hunting areas. The more intense the hunting area, the less likely that someone else takes their time to pick up flasks. Carry many empty Backpacks and drag around a backpack with the flasks in it, because it won't be worth taking trips with just your capacity's worth of flasks. Look in places that are frequently botted and require a lot of supplies, as botters are usually hunting for long periods of time which results in a lot of flasks being dropped.
- Typical places with flasks are Vengoth, Magician Quarter Hellspawn cave, Sea Serpent Area, Medusa Cave, Deeper Banuta and all the hunting areas around Muggy Plains and Northern Zao including The Keeper's Lair.

Do Bigfoot's Burden Quest. Depending on the value of Minor Crystalline Tokens on your server, this can be a quick source of cash.
- When you reach Rank IV (Bigfoot's Burden Quest) you can enter the warzones. The warzones are daily challenges that can be very rewarding (160k+/day without boss loot) but you will need a large team to complete them. On many (mostly high-population) servers there are frequent warzone runs which you may be allowed to join. However, there are still risks involved in joining such a service.
