there is an NPC inside the brothel - the large building north of the Goblin Village, everyday saturday evening (20:00 game time), she spawns at the 2nd floor and sells "SKILL BOOKS", you're looking for the Agriculture 101 Skill Book - costs 5 Silver or 500 Coins, once you "consume" or use the skill book, you will have access to it inside your SKILL tab, select the Agriculture skill, then with enough CRAFT EXP ( 100 CRAFT EXP) for level 1 Botany. then all you need is a shovel to plant in your FARM.

Opening chests and collection random junk of the forest floor is generally the faster way of earning money. Stuff like Truffles and various Gems sell for decent amount of money. And yes, the Bard class is mostly for social interactions and doesn't have any combat capabilities, but then mobs don't really drop much in terms of expensive loot, so farming them isn't very efficient money wise anyway.
The prisoner's bodyguard could only be met if you had the Climbing spec from the Athletics Skill at the very start of the game. You had to climb up some vines near the camp before leaving the map, otherwise the guard runs off after you leave the map. Don't worry about him though, he wasn't really important or anything.
oh, really? I just thought the daughter would be there during the evening, I think one of the Goblins said, I think the madam in the brothel.... anyway. and 20 Silver, my bad. I thought it was just 5. silly me.
by the way, how do I get lightning crystals? are they purely by chance during a lightning storm? I've found one, once. it was on the ground. maybe a lightning strike hitting something?
