Would hunting PoT be a good way of earning money? Btw, if it matters, I'm only on the second map.

No. You need to be higher level to farm for PoTs. In the second map you can spend 2 hours to easily find nada. And then you start cutting yourself.

As a 126 NL and on Memory Lane 2? It'd be OK, but they don't have the greatest drop rate, so don't expect to make anywhere near as much as those who are training on Oblivion maps or those who can easily KO the bosses. xD

I would say it's worth it if your just training leisurely on your own and picking up PoT. I would use the PoT first to make a reverse weapon/gear and sell the excess you don't use.

I believe that the farther you are in the temple the better drop rate of PoT

I'm only on memory lane 2 b/c I always quit every time i try to finish it, I get too bored. I know that the drop rate is low...Also I don't have enough dex to wear the reverse so I need to find a way to get the dex. I won't stay in the map for 2 hrs. I'll go on once I finish the quest. If it takes 2 hrs then yea... But I want to know will hunting Pot be good if I do all the quests for ToT available.

I have been in Memory Lane 5 on double drop and Road to Oblivion 3 on regular drop and have found as much or more than Memory Lane 5 on double drop. Also have to factor in how much faster I can kill the monsters in Memory Lane 5 as well. Edit: If you want to look for Pieces of Time then kill Dodo or wait until you can get to Road of Oblivion 2. You can start Road of Oblivion 2 with less than 4k HP.

No, I'm not going to merchant. I'm not good at it and no patience. OT:How far will I reach if I have 3757hp?

[/quote] When ever someone in my guild compared my Piece of Time drops his, both times I only gained half the amount of PoTs that he did and both on double drop, difference was at Memory Lane 5 and Road to Oblivion 4. Edit to above: You can try to go to Road of Oblivion 2 soon since I believe their damage maxes out at around 3,800. Just have someone help you with Lilly and bring a lot of patience. You will not get through all the areas in one day. Just take your time, and don't rush since you cannot be in the area you want to be in at the moment anyway.

If so, you would have to be ridiculously funded to become a dexless lampion user. Only 1 is known so far (well to my knowledge) and he used glitched items to achieve it (like a 55 dex sauna..lol)

[/quote] as I said it's completely random, I have gotten more at memory 5 in a hour than sometimes at ob3 in 4 hours.
