best way to make a lot of cash as a mage?

[bell chick]

As a warrior i was doing decent farming reds but as a mage i try and my attacks are too weak and slow and other players purposely make the kills to steal the item. how can i make enough cash as a mage to pay tyhe excessive iron bills? i do the bat cave thing every day but with iron at 15000-2k each that doesnt cut it.

The best way to make money as a mage is not to be a mage :

I wanted my first char to be a mage, thus I soon saw that i had to grind a lot to be able to afford magic training too. thus I leveled this char as a balanced warrior with intelligence but also strength and dexterity enough (30 str 35 dext and some luck too) to be able to grind whithout being killed too easily. I could grow up to 90 this way with only one restat in about a year. Btw I kept for money all I grinded except knives because they are heavy.
Now If you create a second character on a second account, that you level as archer, then fast archer, you will be able to grind for both chars by using the best fitted char to your needs and make overall progression faster for both of them. as a side part switching from one to another will break the monotony that stays in game between the main steps.
