1.) Pickpocket Vendors
2.) Combine drudanae plants with empty buckets that you find. Grow more druenae and sell them to vendors (must turn on herb garden gift bag to do this).
3.) Max Bartering (5 points + 1 barteringwith a human character + bartering gear (can be found normally on belts and necklaces - also possible on unique set of gloves from act 2, and a helmet from act 1). This leads to 10 bartering.
4.) Max out your reputatiton with vendors you will be visiting regularly (ones with potions, crafting materials) etc.
Any combination of these will help. I dont really pickpocket as i play a "good guy" in the game, but it's an option,.
