I keep 20 Heavy Nether bandages on me at all times and sell the rest of the cloth. Fishing can be profitable (I caught a trunk with Mythiril Shield Spike recipe that I sold for 45g and that was at 140 fishing skill). It also provides fish to level up your cooking skill almost effortlessly if you level it as you level. Sit and chat in town during your down time and fish in the ponds in town. Cooking is a huge pain in the ass to level if you don't have easy fish to do it with or big bags to hold all the stuff. But the buffs are very nice once you hit Outland. A free +20 Stamina and +20 Other stat that stacks with your priests buffs is NOT a bad thing. :)
