A good safe character is easy to create. The following character is good for money, fighting, and buying items. Since you only can have so much skills and stats, try the following:
Skills:
Blacksmith
Mining
Swords/Fencing/Macing (no archery)
Tactics
Parry
Healing
Anatomy
100 STR
100 DEX
25 INT
Start at Minoc, which good for ores and Vesper is a good place of trade, and for when you become GM Smith. Start in Trammel. A pack horse is a good investment. You should have a Fisher who can get you a lot of food, which is important for skill gains. With all the money, buy some more shovels/pick axes and start a mage.

You gain more skill on a different server with less users of that skill. For example, if you are in Minoc's blacksmith and you are trying to gain smithing skill while everyone else is also doing so, you will barey get any. For faster skill gain, go in a dungeon.

When you are on a shard that allows you to bring up your stats, drink a lot of beer until your stats are 1-1-1, or at least all under 3. Then fight something such as a dummy or a headless and your stats will go up. Keep doing this until you cannot buy anymore beer.

Get a boat and two shovels and a tinkering kit. Go to the very northern part of the world where water meets mountain and start mining. You have shovels to get ore and a player run house nearby usually has a forge so you can smelt them and tinker more shovels.

Choose your side!
Choose any character. If you're going ilegally it's often better
to use a thief and any other if you like to be a safe, legal
money gainer: -LEGAL

It's often better to tailor. Raise your tailor skill with a
tinker, but don't forget to save some money to buy some yards
of sheets, a sewing kit, scissors and yarns... Use the sewing
kit first, then the scissors and the rest as you intend.
Sell it to a clothes shop or something. Write a book. That's what books are for. Then, sell to scribes. Buy some scrolls, potions, runes and sell it. It often gives
you money. Fight. Sell the bones, and the entrails of the animal/beast
and get some money! There are more, but I'll let you to find out... :-) -ILEGALLY

The way to get the most money is to steal books from libraries
and sell it to scribes. You'll get 6-7gps per book, so it's a
good deal. Find some PC and drag him/her to a place where you leave the
protection of Lord British's guards, then, KILL HIM/HER!!!
But look out! Although you can steal from him/her's dead body,
he/she may report you to the guards, so stay on the look out! I found this nifty bug (or is it not?): find a place with rooms
and NPCs. Find an NPC near a room. Try to steal an object with
little or no value. Log off before you get killed. Log on.
When it gives you the chance of becoming a ghost or the
penalties, choose the panalties... TA-DAAAAA!! The NPC's
backpak is in the room and ready for the taking! There are more, but, like in above, you must find out!
