General Method Description

Flax picking is one of the most-recommended way for even very new players to make money, as it is easy and has no requirements.

At lower levels the best place to do this is in Seers' Village; at mid-levels you can use a spirit terrorbird to increase capacity and save money on restoring energy. At higher levels Lletya is the easy choice as its field is right next to a bank -- so close, in fact, that there's no point even using a beast of burden. Instead, use a magpie familiar for its foraged items. Since there are no costs and you can pick so many flax in Lleyta, this is a decent way of making money, though high level players usually have better options.
