The one thing about painting they can do is to make them harder to pick up. At the moment, rank 1 Telepathic is enough and make STR a joke for picking up items. They do need to be expensive though because they clearly are made from material that aren't cheap and those are the expensive part.
There's also another 40-50 gold if you talk to the Geomancer NPC and pick, IIRC, when telling the story, pick 3 - 1 - 2 (Origin too wild to be believed, make amend, something I forgot) and you get a gemstone that can be sold for 40-50 gold. Might differ between char because I'm a lizarddude every game.
And cash cycle in this game is 100% pickpocket atm, which depends on your base level. Not sure about Thievery level but it averages around 60-80 gold per character base level.
Your first stealing should happen around level 4 or 5. Try and get stealth book first at level 3 so you can buy it again at level 5 and have 2 people pick pocket without the need to set up using the Card table gold, random pick-up gold and the gem selling gold.
and then, do everything to level up before you steal from everyone in Gareth camp.
I ended the game with 2.3k gold, fully geared.
