Find a cave. The biome doesn’t really matter very much, but some are better than others depending on what you are looking for. Make sure you have a blessed pickaxe. You can spend a surprising amount of time exploring the enormous caves, mining all the gems and other ores possible. Most importantly mine all the salt you can find. When you are done, sell all the gems where you can, or keep them and wait for an opportunity. Find a trader that buys salt, some are upwards of 10c apiece. You can make a ridiculous fortune off just a couple stacks of salt.

The Ettenmoors will also get you an astonishing volume of gold and silver in a short time. I recommend using some sort of night vision to just explore the caves.
