Play poker dice. A lot of poker dice. Only few ingredients have decent sell price and usually they are much more useful as a part of potion then source of income.

Ugh, I hate dice-poker. I mean, it's even worse than a plain game of chance, because the game coding forces you to lose to certain players, and the situations where you win or lose or tie your opponent are not consistent (both you and your opponent concluding with, say, two pairs will mean you win or lose or call a draw -- any of the above -- seemingly only based on what the game decides it wants to do to you, whether it wants you to win or lose... anybody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). This, and the fact that I don't get to roll a second time, only my opponent does -- and this coupled with the possible / seeming fact that my opponent, when re-rolling, almost always rolls a[nother] two-of a kind (well, at least much more often than not) so I almost always lose when we're tied after the first roll -- this all comes together to make a game that really, really gets on my nerves.I'd be much happier if the developers had chosen a game based on wit / skill (sure it's more difficult to think up / create . . . but for the player (well... me, anyhow) it's more rewarding) . . . but then, I suspect the poker-dice game might've been taken from the books: can anybody enlighten me on this, since I haven't read the books?Anyway . . . as for making money: I much prefer, say, brawling at the tavern. True, it's too easy, I wish all our minor opponents were tougher (but then, I wish that for most games) . . . but at least it involves a proportion of skill, it's not simply chance, and the situation isn't rigged against you based on whom you've already played. (Of course, it's rigged
in favor of you, which is nearly as bad, but still I find it preferable to dice-poker.)Doesn't earn you much, but it's easy money, and dice poker doesn't earn you much either unless you play for higher stakes, which I assume only works once you attain a certain "level of expertise", as far as the game decides . . . and since I can't go back to the outskirts, I haven't been able to try this yet. Well... maybe I can try it on Zoltan, I should give that a whirl.Of course, you can also make some money scouting for assassins to kill, at night, and then selling the badges . . . easier than losing and reloading repeatedly with dice-poker . . . but this doesn't earn you much, either.
