There's a lot of ways to make money in the game but earlier on you probably won't make much. This changes though and earning potential ramps up the further along you are in the game since you have access to more resources and can spend money to make even more money.

In my case, I made my gold earlier on by collecting everything I saw on the dungeon floor in random dungeons/void and selling it. I also sold cooked food from the meats I would gather from dead enemies. The money from the items I was selling from junk treasure wasn't anything to write home about back then but it helped support me. I got more money from selling cooked food however. I used my gold to buy all sorts of things but as far as making gold goes the important purchases were scrolls of gain material and properties such as farms and shops. Between the scrolls, the resource nodes in dungeons, and later on pets, I had enough materials eventually to train up my crafting skills such as tailoring, alchemy, and carpentry.

My farms were cranking out produce and I would sell tons of cooked produce for gold to vendors in towns. My first stores I opened up were a magic store and a blacksmith. I would sell the junk I got from dungeons in them and got a bump in how much gold I was making through selling it in my own stores than vendoring. Much later, about the time I got a ranch, I opened up a restaurant/shop to sell cooked food.

As I practiced crafting stuff my tailoring skill got high enough where I could craft stuff in bulk to sell for a lot of gold. That supplemented all the other stuff I was doing. Keeping my shops constantly stocked with stuff, I eventually got to shop rank 1, Tyris's greatest mall. At first my shopkeepers didn't really move much inventory but as my shop rank and their skills rose that all changed.

Despite the nerfs to shops, they're still very good gold making machines even in 1.70. At the very least, the blacksmith and the food shop are very good gold earners at least in my experience. My magic shop doesn't make that much gold 1.70 but the fact that I can get spellbooks/rods of wish traded in and scrolls of gain attribute from it keeps me from closing it down.

As I said before, crafting is one of the way I make gold and I assure you it can be a very lucrative business. For instance, I have a brand of panties that I have the goddess of wealth, the shopkeeper of my blacksmith, sell. People are willing to pay top gold for panties in Elona. In my picture I crafted a seemingly unremarkable panty aside from the fact that its material is dawn cloth. Selling to a store vendor I would get 160k in gold. Having my shopkeeper sell it in my store however I was able to flip that same panty for 864k gold. So not only does this prove panties are very lucrative but even pet run stores in 1.70 are still worth it. Selling a bunch of panties I can get millions each day from that alone however I sell other stuff I craft such as beer. I also have a ranch which I get lamb from and sell premium lamb steaks in my food shop for lots of gold as well along with cooked stuff from dungeons. Junk gear from dungeons also gets tossed into the blacksmith.

Eventually you can build multiple streams of income and just make so much gold you have tons in your safe stored up. Currently I'm still going through my 44 million I have on hand but I have about 200 million waiting for me in my safe at the moment. I'm content with how much I make and I can think of plenty of things to spend it on. Could go for another round of growth scroll stacking so I can spend a lot of time in a dungeon leveling things without having to come up to visit a trainer.
