1. raise perception + raise exploration
2. go out, and pick whatever you can find. As soon as you can see flotsam, edelweiss, glimmermoss, bluebell at later stages, you will be able to get your LP very high. (example is my alt, who i feed with craftables and some good curios, like 2 mil per week at this stage)
3. along with that, raise your crops and have another person raise some other crafting skills like sewing, dex, psy, to make good tealeaves, bowls, strawdolls etc. higher q, the better LP
4. find pearls, make necklace (you can even put that at point 2 if you want, since sooner you find necklace, the better). if you want to bother, try finding a person to sell you some gold nugs (there might be few), and offer them whatever you have. 2 nugs = 2 RoB rings = 60% more LP = proffit
5. well, at the end, as much time as you have to invest, as much LP you can gain in begining. once you have infrastructure set up, its all about 10-15min per day to maintain
