I have looked in the Tinker shops and Blacksmith shops in ever city I visit,
none of the have a pick axe. I can't even find any shovels. I guess I'll
have to give up mining until something changes.
I just started playing on a suggestion of a friend. I'm pregnant and
confined to bed for an unknown period, this game is a lot of fun and really
passes the time. I was going nuts before I started playing.
Now, I'm making money by escorting people from one city to another. They
usually give 200-300 GP for an escort. Mining and making armor through
blacksmithing was profinable but without mining the iron is too expensive.
Any other good ways to make money? I eventually want to build a house.
