Cloth is the way I always make my start up cash.
Quest as you would to 10. Sell all grey stuff.
Make one toon a tailor. make bolts of linen. do this until it turns grey. Then you should be able to buy a green pattern, Brown Robe I think it is, Make all those you can.
Now make an Enchanter toon, D/E all the robes. Then sell Stange dust. Easy 10-20 gold.
It just keeps getting better, and has never failed me.
