where are these fields? =p
Umm I started totally fresh with 500g plus a katana and some sad clothes. So far I have 2 houses, a boat, and around 300k in the bank plus a hell of a lot of crap stored up for later. I bought my first house from the training dungeon. Then the second from a nicely empty spot in a dungeon where I could use provocation to amazing effect. Then the rest is from mining, lumberjacking and escorting NPC's, which also gave me the insentive to map the planet with runes. The methods to generate income are very good. It's just a case of exploring all your options. And I agree that at later stages of skilling you should make a good profit. Maybe by making exceptional items or labelled items sell for double rather than +25% or whatever it is now. Would inflate the economy I know so would need to be experimented with.
But really the case is you just gotta find your little spot and work it to full effect. Also macroing skills is very expensive. I levelled swords, fencing, maces and tacs by farming leather. This will do me a favour later when I work on tailoring plus at the time gave me a bit of an income from selling ribs and any random monsters I happen to come across. Thats how I started making some serious money. And it snowballs fast hehe. The universal law of financial gravitation works in UO too =].
