I've always looked for ways to gain skills while making money instead. When
building magery I used to hit escorting hard, when building melee skills I
usually chose the monsters with the most loot over something like a bear. I
love stone harpies after a blade spirit is applied to them..
I haven't counted lately, but I think I have between 1.5 and 2 million gold
laying around. I also give a lot of gold away, there was a guy in full plate
on a horse with something like "give me gold, I won't turn it down" on his
character profile, I gave him 3k.<grin>
Both of my sons have different play styles. One plays a bard so he doesn't
have the need for much money and doesn't really try to make much. My other
son finds everything but the money making aspects of the game interesting,
for instance he mined and bought ingots to create a GM smith, but doesn't
have a vendor or sell to other players so he ended up broke after the
effort.

At the moment my main char, Galat, is
pennyless, he was quite well off until
he came down with a serious case of
magery.
My second char, Stitch, is a tailor/healer/
Fencer and finds making large sums of cash
easy. He also spends large amounts and gives
alot away, so the most he has had at any one
time was last night, he had just over 360K which
he was going to use to buy a large dwelling,
unfortunately he broke into a sweat at
the size of his bank balance and promptly
bought a full Ranger suit, a peice of green
leather and two full valorite plate sets, and a
few weapons. He now has, a much more
manageble, 220K.

So there I am stacking and counting my ill gotten gains, and along
comes Trammel with new housing going up, and I sez to myself, "Self,
you have got to get one of them there modern Towers with hizzen and
herren seperate sanitation facilities and drafty hallways so the
ghosties feels at home and kin keep me company at a late evening."
So now I have 43k and Tower deed.

Dobanth, e-mail me sometime. I hope to open an inn in Trammel and I want to

Like you, I intend to use a lot of my money to fix up the inn and run quests
(once my family is taken care of, of course). I'd love to work with you if

I have about 70 K plus a deed for a 2-story stone-and-plaster. After
busting my gorget to get enough for the deed, I wasn't really too worried
about money. I was a little shocked when I went to drop some gold on the
pile in the bank and I had to make a new pile. Considering my favored armor
plus weapons is usually less than 3K and I don't use a lot of regs, I don't
have too many expenses. I even broke down and bought a horse the other day,
although I'm not overly fond of them, since the cost seemed so trivial. Of
course, I died the very next die and so did the horse. I won't be sitting
the saddle again for awhile.
Once I get my house nicely decorated (any GL carpenters out there who can
make beds and such, drop me a line) I will be using the rest of it for
quests and such. My income now is so sufficient that my bowyer mule has
taken up carpentry and my main char now supports HIM.

Most of my money has come from monster bashing and from selling craft items.
Back when Parry was very hard to get, I would spend a couple of hour every
night in the Papau desert, not returning until I had used 100 bandages. I'd
often come back with 4k in loot from each of those trips, and now that I'm
working resist in the same way I typically make multiple trips with several
thousand gold each trip (brought in >15k from the ophid highway feluccia
last night alone).
Before recycling, I would make 4k per trip selling leather and plate armor
back to the NPCs.
Also, my prospector is a gold faucet. I take his GM Lockpicking to dungeons
sometimes and within 4 minutes will have 3k gp and a couple of magic items.
Or I spend a weekend doing 10 lvl 3 maps and come out of it with 60k and a
buttload of items.

(Careful - this is long!)
About 2 million gp.
Oddly, I may not be the normal (maybe I am!) UO pattern. Up to about
2-3 months ago, I had about 200k. Then made 1.8 Mill in about 2-3
months.
I've been playing for about 2 years - started in the Summer of 98. For
about 6 months, the most I could earn (and keep in the bank) was 10k,
and that was on a good week - 10k was rich in those days!
Then our guild wanted to save for a Two Storey House... took me ages
to stump up the 20k.
A month later, I reached a big float of 20k! At which time, the guild
wanted to buy a Tower Deed!!! 40k each! I had to take a loan from one
of my fellow guildmembers, only being able to stump up 25k of my
share. We're still holding that deed to this day - hoping that come
the 16th June, it'll no longer be a deed, but a realisation of a
dream.
Slowly over the period of 9 months-1year of my start, I slowly built
myself up to about 30k, saving and scrimping, reaching milestones of
GM Tactics, then GM Swordsman - being a Fighter, not really requiring
reagents, I was able to live on smaller means.
Then, the trader in me came to forth. I noticed a market for magic
weapons. I started to become the source of weapons at the East Britain
Bank (Chessy). Starting small, with ruins and mights (when that
actually meant something) - I made a small profit of 250-500gp per
weapon, buying cheap and selling high. Always made a personal
guarantee of quality (brand new, charges intact etc)
Soon, I was known in Britain for quality weapons. Someone to trust,
someone to go to for a 'good and honest' weapon.
Then the big deal - the one that you stay awake dreaming of. The Big
One. I managed to find someone who was looking for the Ultimate
Weapon. I found someone who was selling the Ultimate Weapon.
An Indestructable Supremely Accurate Silver Heavy Xbow of Vanquishing.
(Back then, this was a nice, heavy hitting weap - not quite like it's
poor cousin now - the hey day of Heavy Xbow PKs)
The Sell was placed on a small vendor house - 25k. Just sitting there
- I met the seller at the Artist Building, north of the Main Britain
bank and was taken to the vendor (just outside West Britain). I had 2
friends as backup, in case anything happened. We arrived, and I scoped
the area - casted Reveal, then Wall of Stone on the vendor house door,
quickly bought, and thanked the buyer, recalled and banked my prized
possession. Then.... the server crashed.
I was panicing - I had a buyer with 45k waiting to buy, I had the
weapon, now gone. *sighs* The Seller was worried - he had not put any
gold on the vendor to pay the dues. To bed, a worried and frustrated
man.
The next morning was a mad dash to the vendor house - it wasn't there
- crest-fallen, I returned back to Britain, ready to break the bad
news to the buyer. Then, *uh-oh* up pops ICQ and the seller says 'Hey!
I still have it!'.
A quick meeting, and there was the brand new Silver Heavy in my bank.
10 mins later, a quick trade, and what was a 25k investment - became a
45k pot of gold! The bug had bitten, I was caught forever.
From then on, with my newly inflated investment fund, I started to
trade in the more prized possessions. Powers, Vanqs, Silvers. All this
before the glut of Treasure Chests, SOS Bottles.
Many a happy customer, and I became more and more wealthy - until I
reached 150k-200k, with about 2-300k of 'stock'. Then I stopped -
there didn't seem to be a reason to chase it, nothing to spend it on.
The stock gathered dust (and still does!)
That was about a year ago - and then things started to slowly change -
over that period - the arcane art of magery took my fancy, and slowly,
from a fighter who could barely cast a heal, I slowly became a mage.
It was slow - and that 150k soon became the 10k that I started with
over a year ago. Until I reached the 70s, and a friend showed me
something that forever changed my wealth. Escorting.
I escorted, and escorted, and then escorted some more. Perfected it
into an art - a perfect circle of Jhelom, Nu'Jelm, Cove, Skara Brae.
Even had a record of 20k in one hour! (not counting regs) And the
skills were climbing! My gold reached the dizzy heights of 400k. And
then we reached the 90s. Every mages' gold sink - the fund dwindled
back to 50k. Swiftly followed by some more perfect circles to bump up
the funds.
Then it happened - GM Magery. Several months of dizzying perfect
circles - it had happened! Then it was - hmm, what now? Life returned
to normal, although some hours were spent nostalgically doing more
circles to bump up the funds. But it was bubbling quite nicely at
about 150-200k. Enough to keep one going, able to buy whatever one
wanted without too much worry.
Then I met my partner (soon to be wife! - marriage after we place our
Marital Tower!) We spent many an hour together, no need for the gold,
wealthy in ourselves.
She was a warrior just like I once was, clumsy of hand, weak of mind -
her first tentative, clumsy steps of the 'combo' towards GM Mage will
be a fond memory for many years. That was another expensive trip - but
we drew perfect circles together *smiles* - that was fun too!
Then we settled down again, only making enough gold to sustain us -
until one day - 2-3 months ago, we choose to try our hand at craft
skills. (Both of us were one char players before then). Tinkerer,
Lumberjack, Miner, Alchemist, Scribe... The reg costs were phenomenal
- (now 1 GM Scribe, 1 GM Alchemist) - but this was funded by having
the good fortune of placing a Reagent vendor at a popular vendor
house.
Over that time, the reg vendor and others prospered - taking in nearly
20-30k a day - easily funding our work, but a lot of hard work keeping
up too. Since that time 2-3 months ago, we've brought in nearly 2
million in gold - including the costs of training up a GM Alchemist,
GM Scribe (300k?). Pretty good going.
So, why, you may ask, if you have so much gold do you keep going?
Well, I'll point you to something I said earlier: "We spent many an
hour together, no need for the gold, wealthy in ourselves." Gold
doesn't mean anything to me, spending time with her does - if it means
making gold, then I want to make all the gold in the world.
Oh yes, a very long winded way to say: approx 2 Mill - (and hopefully
growing!)

except to me. :(
Adding all the gold on my 5 characters, I'd say it's currently about 50k. I
used to have about 250k total, but magery and a new house took that down
tremendously.
About 160k spread across 12 characters on 3 shards. But nearly all of it on
3 characters who just had it sort of build up while pursuing other goals (2
seeking the bubble reputation even in the lich lord's mouth, getting to
Glorious/Illustrious and building up about 100k doing it; one while becoming
a GM Warrior in the halls of Shame). My characters who aren't pursuing fame
or warrior skills just tend to spend money as they get it, and hover around
a nil balance.
And no plans for a house anyway, although no doubt the introduction of
vendors to Trammel is going to eat into that balance; my GM warrior's main
combat skill is swords, and so naturally has collected magic maces, kryss's,
and bows - and no damn swords!

I do have a deed for a villa, but that is between two of us. And I did give
a friend about 45K towrds his house. Oh, and I tend to give a lot away to
new guys needing a helping hand.
Hey, 574 gold, but I ain't starving yet, and it shows an overall profit of
474 gold in six months, in cash, since I first appeared outside some Britain
tavern or where-ever it was.
