The advice I was given was to look down, pull up your options and change the
distance you can see to the lowest setting (far plane?). Then you can look
back up. This lets me run around the bazaar with any view I want without a
big problem.
I still consider myself a newbie, my highest guy is level 14. To make some
plat you can hunt spiders and spiderlings for their silk. Sell the silk in
bazaar. I make 50-100 plat for one hour hunting with low level guys. Not
exciting, but if you see something in the bazaar you really want it's an
option. When I put silk up for sale it is almost always sold in the first
30 minutes. When you are in a place that has spiders, check the shop
keepers frequently. I can often buy spiderling silk for 5 silver from an
NPC then sell it for 4 plat in the bazaar!
I would suggest you either pick a character you no longer want, or make a
new one and have them live in the bazaar. When you get items you want to
sell, put it in the shared slots at the bank. I have 2 boxes in the shard
slots so I can share 16 items. When you want to go shopping, have your
bazaar guy do it and put the stuff in the bank. This lets all your
characters sell, but you only buy one Traders Satchel. It also keeps you
from having to run to the bazaar, you just need to find a bank.
When selling, look up the item with /bazaar first. See how much other
people are selling it for. I think its funny when I see five people selling
an item for 50p and one person selling it for 150p.
I would also suggest you stay away from people running "casinos" Having
hung out in the bazaar for a while when shopping I have heard a bunch of
people get ripped off. Some casinos are legit and will pay you when you
win, but until you know who they are and who the rip-offs are, hold you
cash.
