Hmm, well, I'm level 39 now so cash comes in more freely. Giants drop
0-35plat usually, might wipe out a few dozen giants in a day. Most any
monster I kill drops 4 plat in cash, plus fine steel a third of the time
(another 5 plat), plus occasional bronze (which is sold for 20plat or
given away).

So, with that, it's safe to say that without paying attention at all to
loot, it's easy to make 100 plat a day. If I really wanted to make plat,
it wouldn't be hard to make 500 plat, although it might be somewhat
boring. =)
