Default Tips for being unfunded?

I'm a level 22 Gunslinger who started in Demethos to take advantage of the 2x EXP like many others. Problem is, money is going fast. I have been training on pigs and green mushrooms, and when I go to buy more MP potions, I spend double the amount of mesos that I have just made sense the last time I bought potions. I have about 30k left and its going to be gone soon, can someone give me some tips on what I should be doing to save money? I haven't bought any equips or anything and I'm still poor as hell, about to be broke.

dont use mp =/
and train at mobs that doesnt hit hard, or snipe at henesys top lvl.

it will be slow but at least its profiting.

Personal experience:
I trained my warrior at orange mushroom until it was lvl 27 (dont ask why)
by then i had 400k. slow, but $

Pick up every single meso that hits the ground. Pick up other people's etc items too. Other than that train at lower lvl monsters.

Get a pet which loots etc items/meso/and so on

Seriously. With an pet that loots literally everything you'll never be broke. As long as you loot everything you can cover your pot costs as Gunslinger without worrying too much, and by LVL6x you actually start making money (you'll make about 200k profit per lvl then approximiatly lol .-.)

I'm unfunded and since I wasn't able to buy NX back then I got with some help of an friend a Pet when I was almost broke, and since then I never had any worries about pot & equips money anymore.

But, I hope you realize that without merchanting/gachapon you wont be able to get decent/good scrolled equips. Until I was able to get NX none of my equipments was scrolled, I used clean equips all the way until level 70. (at 70 I was finally able to get NX)

Train at turkies from 21-30.
Seriously,great money,no pot use(They cover all the pots,AND EXTRA,you get to keep the gravy&Cranberry sauce to sell to the mages later on.)
You will be using only the stuffing and a little bit of the mashed potatoes,besides,each turky drops 50-60 meso(Stacks up easilly)
Great spawn 2 maps east of henesys towards ellinia.
That's what I'm doing right now,and with a little help from friends i could afford to get my level 25 shit ;D(Approx 70k)
I got 80 cranberry sauces right now(4 hours),I hope i could sell them to mages later on for 3-4k :P

Thanks for the advice so far. I'll try training at the Turkeys and see how that goes. As for picking up every single thing that drops, I already do that. The problem is that it takes 3-4 hits to kill something like a green mushroom so I fly through MP pots like crazy.

Btw, how exactly do you use Gach to get mesos? Do you just get the items then sell them? I never really use NX so its kind of a new concept to me...

there are tons of quests that give scrolls for 1m+ when you hit 30 or later levels.

just go to hidden-street, look up the scrolls section, and under each scroll it shows what quests give it as a reward. many of them are very easy to complete.

I wish I actually knew which scrolls were the expensive ones though haha. This is my first time back to this game in years, so I'm a little new to a lot of this stuff.

Dont buy Equips until level 30, only buy guns. Kill turkeys if you can, and make sure you fight only one at a time. Do quests that get you pots. I havent ever bought pots and Ive always had extra meso.
