My favorite? what? me?

Okay, so the easiest way to make money is through the ancient rattling business tactic known as arbitrage. By definition, arbitrage involves buying something at one place and selling it in another where it's more valuable. It's often used in Mundania today for currency exchange rates -- if I can buy a canadian dollar for half a US dollar, and someone else is buying them for a US dollar apiece, I buy two canadian dollars and sell them for two US dollars. Bingo! Instant profit!

You can do the same thing in the Gael Serran, except the journey is shorter, and the risk is lower. Just head to any warrior guild or bushi dojo and head to the back, to the members only section. Buy an enchanted arrow, whatever kind the keeper has available. In Valeia, they're just arrows +1; in Ishad N'ha-ha-ha, the Takekatsu arrow at the bushi guild is highly prized.

Buy as many enchanted arrows as you can, and then walk into the front of the shop where the common customers are. Step right up and sell those arrows, and you'll notice that the owner is buying for more than he was ust selling. Bingo! Instant profit!

Repeat until your gold problems are taken care of, and be sure to drop some in the bank for safekeeping. You never know when a rogue or gwyll may decide to light your purse a bit...
