The Number 1 Top money making tip is:

Beehive chips:

Can be found of Maneating hornets (vomp hill in South gustaberg [Bastok Starting area])

Maneating hornet Level: 5 or 6 (Monsters get harder everytime you go up one part of the hill.)

Can be sold in AH for 10 - 30k in Stacks at AH.

Used in the Alchemy craft.

Camping parties: A few people camp them even if they do there are plenty to kill so theres no problem.

Number 2: Bat wings

Found of Bats

Bats be found allmost any area at night

Ding Bats (Zeruhn Mines) Level 2
Ding Bats Level 1

Number 3 is Zeruhn Soot

Found of monsters in Zeruhn Mines (West up the hill in Bastok Mines)

Number 5 is collecting in Valkurm Dunes.

When you are partying in Valkurm if your region is in control of the area you can put on signet which is bascilly
a spell which the guard of your region casts on you that increases the chance of crystals being found of the monster.

Anyway Before you go to Valkurm Dunes make sure you have got at least 2-5 slots free in your inventery because you will get absolutely loads of crystals.

When the Auto message comes up saying you have found a crystal you just leave the "Tresure" button that comes up when you left click unless it says something like "You have found some pugil scales of the Beach Pugil" And you don't want the "Pugil Scales" that you found so you go to the "Tresure" button when you left click when not in battle and then find the Pugil Scales then left click on it then select the option pass. "Pass" makes the item you have passed not go to your inventery. "Cast lots" is very unpopular because some people might "Cast lots" in battle and no-one might not notice so the person that lotted would have that item. Never "Cast lots" in parties because it is a more fairer way how to get items.

Anyway when you have finished leveling up in Valkurm Dunes
(level 9-20) You should have plenty of crytstals but when you are level 15-20 try get your party to kill more goblins so you get loads more fire crystals rather then the water crystals of pugils.

These tips really help level's 1-20 and even to level 30's.
