I do so remember the days I had a bank account...then I got married, had a family and somehow grew poor. If you wish money, don't marry! But truly, income for our profession is relatively easy to obtain.

There are two ways to earn money as a cleric. For the first few days you probably would be best gathering branches and giving them to dear old Mags. You will need to venture outside town and forage around for branches. When you find a branch put it in your backpack. When you have collected a backpack full you will want to sell them. You'll need to make your way into town to the Bazaar. Ask people you may pass on how to get there. Once you find the Bazaar, get the branch from your backpack and then give the branch to Mags. Since Mags uses them in her day-to-day life, when you give her the branches you have gathered, she will in turn give you coins. This is the easiest way to make your first coins.

However, as a cleric, we need battle abilities, which means hunting. The safest place to learn to hunt is in the shipyard. The sailors evidently are too busy shipping wares to curb the rat infestation there, and would welcome your help. If you spot a rat scurrying about you will want to engage it in battle. For edged weapons you want to parry, then advance the rat, then slice at the rat. Do this continuously until it is dead, then skin the rat. Save the skin in your backpack; you can sell it at the tanners later for more coins. Be wary of their sharp teeth, though, their bite can be deadly!

When you discover you are successfully and continually killing the rats you are ready for a more difficult opponent. Move out the west gate and immediately take the path. Out there you will encounter goblins and hogs, with an occasional cougar. Do the same as you did in rats, only after you skin the critter, search the critter. It will have either a box of some type or coins on it. Get the coins and pick up the box. Keep the box for later, it will need to be disarmed and picked. Inside it you will find a good amount of wealth.

The rest is up to you. Just remember to sell your skins at the tannery, and if you find jewels, you can sell them as well at Grisgonda's Jewelry Shop. Once you have coins in your pockets, make certain your money is in Kronars and is safely deposited in the bank. If you carry your coins with you, the local thieves will happily lighten your load.

(Use commands: FORAGE FOR BRANCH to get a branch to sell, GIVE BRANCH TO MAGS to sell a branch, PARRY to set stance Parry, ADV RAT to advance a rat, SLI RAT to slice at a rat, SKIN RAT to gain the rat skin, SEARCH to search the critter, GET {treasure item} to get the treasure, DIR TANNERY to find the Tanners, DIR BANK to get to the bank, EXCHANGE ALL LIRUM / DOKORA FOR KRONAR to change all currency to Kronar, DEPOSIT ALL KRONAR to deposit all kronar into the bank, and BALANCE to check your bank account balance.)
