Saving and Making Money

Saving Money
First and foremost, you will need to be a tightwad with your money or else you will always be broke. The following applies to any level.
-Pets — Avoid wasting money on low level pets trying to fortify them or unlocking skills, adding skills etc. I know that Koala or Caterpillar has been with you since level 10 but it's time to let them go.
-Equipment — Do not waste any money on low level armor. You will outgrow them before you know it. Low level means 1-60. (Level 60 Soul Gear armors you can fortify to maybe +3, weapon +4)
-Fashion items — you will go broke collecting all clothes... at least your character looks handsome/pretty.
-Don't die — repair bills are expensive. If your group looks like it's not doing well, don't be afraid to bail. Especially on DEC (Dragon Emperor's Crypt) because lots of new players don't know how to play their characters, yet.
-Free Food — make sure you get your daily ration.
-Wages market — Run out of free food and pet remedies? Buy potions from the wages market. Saving up zeal and salary cards from Trial for the Brave can help purchase these in emergency situations. As a bonus, you can buy them anywhere throughout the server - perfect during instances.
-Thor's Blessing — instead of selling your Jades or Obsidian powders for 2-4k coins, donate them at Thor's Altar instead. The one hour buff will save you from using food. This buff gives you back MP and also HP, it's a double whammy.
-Healer NPC's — abuse them whenever you can. They will heal your HP/MP to full instantly for only a few coins. Very useful before and after an event or quest.
-Upgrades — Put priority in upgrading your stash and bag slots (more space for loot = more $$). You can never go wrong in upgrading your skills, XP skills should be prioritized (unless you're a heretic).
-Use a separate character for storage. This reduces the number of slots you need on your main (since you only need to carry the actively used items and the non-tradeable ones) so you save on the costs of bag expansions.
-Avoid gambling — especially if you don't have enough free money/GLD to throw around. Anything that has a chance of failure can fail. A 90% chance of success still has 10% chance of failure. Only gamble what you have gotten for free and can't sell (quest items for example).
Ways to make money
These methods work without relying on the market, i.e. they generate money out of nothing.
-Quests - Any level. Yes, coins from quests add up. You can also get free stuff like mount gems, fortify crystals, etc.
-Academic Tests - Level 30+, you should be doing this daily. It's not so much for the coins early on, but mostly for the Advanced Deed of Trusts (more on this below, read on). However at level 60+, the coin gain is nice significant. (Earn about 30,000, depends on level.)
-Cave of Haze - Level 55+. Golden chests hunt every day. Depending on how busy your server is, it can either be an easy money or a waste of time. Can only claim 5 chests of money before reverting to chest item drops only. (Earn about 120,000 coins.)
-Poseidon's Blessing - Level 75+. Talk to Atlas (in Atlantis Square) to get this quest in exchange for 1 Medal of Triumph (which you can get by doing the daily Trial quest and various instances). Combine with Crusade for Poseidon for EXP. You don't have to kill for the full 2 hours, you can stop killing after running out of Crusade scrolls and still get nearly as much money as killing hundreds of extra mobs. (Coin reward increases with level, after level 100 it's around 300,000 coins.)
-Events - Events like Dragon Island, Fallen Darkness, give some pretty good coin rewards. (Earn about 30,000 coins.)
-Dungeons/Instances - trade the items that drop from the boss. See Segg in Atlantis and buy the correct scroll to collect your reward. Advanced Deed of Trust is required per item turn in.
-Dragon Emperor's Crypt (Recommended level 45+) - Dragon's Seal trades for about 10,000 Coins (minus the scroll cost from Segg).
-Specter Island - (Recommended level 60+) Silver Goblet drops from the last Boss, Captain Barbert. Since you kill him twice in Elite mode, you get 2 Silver Goblets instead of 1 from Normal. Silver Goblets can net you 15,000 Coins per turn in.
-Giza/Pyramid Instance - (Recommended level 75+) Pharaoh's Heart. Same deal. see Segg in Atlantis.
-Sell trash items from the instances or vend them if they are good enough that people will want to buy them (selling them for 2,500 - 50,000 Coins each is better than selling to NPC for 500 Coins).
-Monster deeds - (Advice you to only turn in deeds that are Level 60-75 or above so you don't waste those precious Advanced Deed of Trust.) If you happen to have 40 of monster deeds, once again, go pay Segg a visit and make use of that Advanced Deed of Trust you have accumulated. Form up a 6 man group and do Poseidon event, should take no longer than 30 min to finish all 20 scrolls and guaranteed you will have 80+ monster deeds.
Market Tips
Set up a vendor in Atlantis Square to sell items when you are AFK, or make a second character for this purpose.
-If you run out of Advanced Deeds of Trust (which you will if you are 70+ and running all the instances) you can sell the Boss drops and still make profit.
-Soul gears are in high demand and bring lots of coins if you vend them.
-Dragon Blood - sell the dragon scale instead of turning in for EXP. May depend on how saturated the market is for Dragon Scales.
-Do the Pursuing the Horus' Short Flute quest. It can be done 5 times per day and doesn't require any killing, just exploring. Collect 10 of the required items in advance and then turn them all in. Sell the unidentified treasures.
-Buy low, sell high. Look around Atlantis Market for people under pricing their items and buy them. Then you can turn around and sell them for a higher price. More popular realms are filled with members trying to sell items as quick as they can and mark their prices lower to do so.
Casual Play
At the minimum you should be doing the following:
-Academic Tests - Solo 30 minutes (for the Advanced Deeds of Trust) (easy 20k)
-Poseidon Event - Group 30 min (this is where you can get up to 120 monster deeds, easy 50k / 300k for Blessing)
Those are guaranteed. The rest are influenced by luck or how saturated the market is. You really should hurry up to high levels, as money-making events become available.
Other Tips
-Level an alt to 30 and make it your celebeam farmer. You can either try and sell the celebeam particles or use them for yourself so you can level up much faster.
-Level an alt to 20 and make it your vendor to sell blue drops or extra items that you don't need.
-If you want, level many alts to Level 55+; park them at chest locations in Cave of Haze and just check on them daily.
-Level Up as fast as you can. Everything scales to your level, EXP and coins included. The higher level, the more money you will make.
-Collect 5 Nether Classics to unlock 5 bag slots... see Cave of Haze on how to get them.
