Luna Glow, many new players find gold by farming organics and selling them to veteran players (they are used to build bio pets). Despise upper level is a good place to farm them, as the monsters there are easily handled by newer players.

Lets hear some other ideas players.

There are so many different ways of making gold that I have to wonder what your goals are, Luna. What are you aiming for in what kind of timeframe? Not all methods of making gold are equal. Seriously - you can craft weapons/armor/jewelry/house-addons and run a vendor, you can hunt treasure chests and MIBs, tackle the earlier stages of Champ Spawns, run NPC escorts through moongates every five minutes, collect and complete Bulk Order Deeds (or sell them), be a hired gun for Joseph the Monster Killer, do some repeatable quests over and over (Master Quest List: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=973)....

And there's more out there besides. It'll all make you gold; it's just a question of whether it's enough for you and what you enjoy doing. The named armors aren't difficult to get, either. Read the History page on here and you should be able to track some down in no time. Vote at the Travel Center every day and you'll have a chance to be rewarded some. If all else fails, you can just buy pieces from other players with the gold you're earning. :)

The hardest
art of getting gold is the first 2 million for the checkbook. At that point, gold no longer wish you down as you can macro the grab command and filling the check box into one hot key. At that point, simply use necromancer wither or a whirlwind weapon and grab all the bodies with your hOkey. Champs are ultimately the best gold and token sources.

As Ghost mentioned before, organics are one of the best ways to get gold easy and fast. Organics usually are sold in the thousands, for 75-100 gold per organic. Once you enter Despise dungeon, going downstairs will lead you to ettins and earth elementals. There are around 5-7 earth elementals not too far from the entrance. I suggest using Wither (a Necromancy spell) or a bonded pet meant for fighting like a Nightmare (a grayish-black fighting horse that can be tamed by killing the Headless Horseman on the north road in Sleepy Hollow, and I think Terathan Keep [In which case, avoid the Arachnid champ spawn inside of the dungeon] has one south.) or a White Wyrm (north in Ice dungeon) / Dragon (in Destard dungeon or one in the new player dungeon at the Haven mansion) to kill them all at once. They normally drop 5-15 organics each. If you wish to try fighting an ettin to see how hard it is before going to Despise, I believe the new player dungeon in Haven mansion has two. Level one Shame dungeon is full of earth elementals too, but be careful of the scorpions. Other levels of Shame dungeon have different elementals such as fire, air, & water that can be harder to fight and don't drop organics. There are also special orcs you can kill to get 15-30 organics each, but are not easy to fight.
Champ spawns such as the Crafter spawn at Oasis are quite easy for beginners. Long-ranged weapons and Wither spell are useful in champ spawns, along with high level bonding pets. It's a good idea to tame a healing fairy (They can be found in places such as along the paths of Moonglow.) and release it by the gate of the champ spawn you would like to complete before starting. That way, if you die while fighting, you can just run to the healing fairy to quickly resurrect. Don't forget to [grab the corpses! The Arachnid champ spawn at Terathan Keep is a great place for tokens if you have high Necromancy, an Invisibility Cloak (If you do not have one, go to Haven and not too far in past the gate you'll find Harry Potter. Do his quest and kill the tree north of Spirituality shrine in Ilshnar.) and a nicely trained fighter pet. Take the fighter pet out of your pack, use your Invisibility Cloak until the monsters target your pet, then stand on the same tile as your pet and cast Wither over and over while healing your pet between spells. You should [grab the corpses every 20 seconds or so. Once it gets to the higher levels, I suggest that if you are a fairly new player you ask a veteran player to help you. Rabbit champ spawns are also a nice way to make gold, as they drop elixirs at the end instead of power scrolls. If you are doing a normal champ, 120 power scrolls (allow to train a skill past a certain amount - 120's let you train to the maximum amount, which is 120) will sell well especially if it's something like 120 mining. Elixirs (give you +1 to the specified skill) such as Item Identification and Poisoning can go for around 1 million gold, depending on the seller and buyer. They go for a lot because it is hard or impossible to train past 100 in certain skill without elixirs. Elixirs such as Animal Taming and Mining will only go for around 5,000 gold though, because they can be raised without elixirs.
When you are trashing or getting rid of an item that is not blessed, use your red Trash For Tokens bag to get tokens.
Probably the easiest way to get gold is to vote for Whispering Pines shard using the Voting Stones at the Travel Center, (Moongate > Custom Destinations > Travel Center - There is also a way to reach it by following a path in Moonglow.) giving 8,000-12,000 gold each time you vote on all of the stones. There is also a chance you could get a reward such as a piece of Tainted, Crusader, or Whispering Pines gear. Tainted gear will lower your karma when you put it on, Crusader is lower reagent cost, and Whispering Pines gear gives useful items when clicked. Each piece goes for around 1 million gold each, but it's best to keep & wear it unless you have extras. It's the best gear you can get. Star armor is good starter gear and can be gained by killing the Star Hunter and turning in the pieces in Wind to the wisp.
If you wish to buy tokens or gold from other players here's an idea of how much it normally is worth; 100,000 tokens = 1,000,000 gold
Deal Or No Deal (each ticket costs 50,000 gold, and you can only play once every 24 hours) and the Casino are also nice ways to get gold.
