Well, for me personally Unrest has been great for cash. What I generally do
is spend about 4 hours there and leave with 3 FS weapons, a couple pieces of
bronze armor, some jade or other stones, some words, 1 rare drop like the
thick apron, or savants cap and about 10pp or so in coin. I have 100STR and
I am not a monk so I can go right up to my weight limit, usually can carry
over 30units of weight worth of crap before I start to go over the limit and
notice adverse affects on my stats.

I then go to Kelethin and sell the bronze for about 2pp per AC point, sell
the rare drop for what I can get for it (around 20pp) and then sell the FS
and misc loot to my bard guild who I am amiable with and I have a 110CHA.
At 3-6pp per FS weapon and 10-20 or so per bronze plus the rare drop plus
the cash coin I looted, I can make around 50pp - but don't get me wrong, I
do have to work for it...and it does take about 4 hours and some luck.

I am level 24 an I can only seem to maintain around 300 plat and I am still
in mostly banded armor and wielding a Dragoon dirk and a Pugius dagger so
I'm not really bragging.
