Staying in the Silver

Like everyone else who's trying to level I too hate it when my bags are full and I have to stop questing and head back to a town to sell off junk. Recently, in order to level faster, I started being very selective as to what I picked up. I left all the "junk" loot on the bodies as I solo'd through several levels and deeds. It seemed very efficient.

But without warning I found myself broke.

I mean the "can't pay for a horse to Bree", "can't cover my repair costs", "can't afford training", "can't cover the costs to post things on the Auction House" and "can't afford to mail stuff to kin" kinda broke.

I was reduced to begging for a handout in Kin-chat.

Thanks to a friend, I was able to get moving again. I thought about what had changed and why I might have been so broke. Though I did spend the previous night working Farming from near no skill to mastered-expert I realized that the real issue at hand was the limited amount of silver coming in.

I mustered back to Ost G and worked on finishing my Spider killin' deed. As I started I had 112 silver left. This time I looted everything, leaving nothing behind. I killed the 40 or so spiders I had left to complete the advanced deed and headed back to Ost G. I sold everything, did my repairs, and amazingly I was over 300 silver!

So, it seems clear to me now that:

There's no such think as "junk"
The trips to vendors to sell off brownish items
IS WELL WORTH YOU TIME!

I hope this helps others avoid my silly mistake.
