Best way to earn money as a newbie?

Thank you.

How do these freesist events work, how often are they, where, etc?

Your thread title is misleading. Sorry.

I suggest an inscription mage. Multifaceted, diverse, and will earn it's keep all with attended play.
There are good / still valid magery guides in the UO:R compendium.

or...

A "mining" warrior. Smash some elementals for ingots!




If you're looking for a fully attended challenge, GM begging.
I double dog dare you.
