could be usefull, at the moment the only way i was able to make any profit was to beat the bandid boss and with the 3000 buy armor and after that i was able to start making a little profit instead of losing money each battle even including selling at the slave trader.
The money from quests went into potions witch i could get fewer after each: battle > slave trader > buy potion > repeat.
It was prety much mandatory to take out the loan to get the 1st sword so i still have to pay the loan.
