Low level money making?

[Muon]

Well, i'm relatively new to fiesta (level 11) and the only way i've really found to make any money other than selling 'crafting' items (like dusts and so forth) is to sell the farming/gathering items, like wood sap and herbs. Most of these don't sell for much , and the few that do ... well, they really don't show up very often. I did find one treasure chest, which had a couple of scrolls, some pots and one blue lix. I was pretty happy at the time because hey, a blue lix! I thought that with a find like that I was going to be rich , but its a 42 copper item to the vendor and i was unsure what it would go for out of my own shop. I really don't know much about making any kind of money in this game, but 2 silver doesn't seem like alot , even at level 11. I nearly spent 1s on 3 skills, and I didn't bother buying the wooden horse or riding skill yet. I guess i'm rambling now, but my two questions I guess would be , is there a better way to make money? and the second one is it worth buying the horse?
