Have you tried selling items to get some golds? Like nuggets and stuff?

There is a list of items in MM1 here. It tells what you can safely sell and what you need to keep to finish the game. Further on in the game you start fighting enemies that drop gold. You can always mine the meat from the animals and sell it. It is pretty easy to replenish.

I particularly like Millennium better than Aveyond, by what I could play Aveyond... it was harder than Millennium, also... if you are finding dificult, I think that Story Mode starts with 1000 gold coins.

Also, maybe you haven't noticed that you can sell items to gain money. Like Indinera said above.

Yes story and easy modes give you a gold bonus but basically, the moment you start selling items, you will have gold.
You are quite far in the game, too, which is already a good accomplishment in itself.

Thanks folks. I'll go mining meat and sell whatever I can. I have been afraid to sell most of the items because you never know what you will need later. This is especially true with equipment. I did learn about the dark gloves unfortunately and had to go to the shrine, which wasn't that easy to locate when you are off somewhere else when you discover the gloves won't come off. I have been trying to stick to only selling those items that are listed as usual like meat and dragonfly wings off the list I found here. I really have been trying, but I'm sick of backtrackting just to get gold to buy mana, oh excuse me, magical points. Wish programmers would just keep one general vocabulary. I think having the noble ring finally makes a huge difference otherwise stuff doesn't count for anything. Using Jeanne is great, but she costs gold and she doesn't work on gollems on the Rocky Path. I also hate having to back track to complete quests like the snakes which I had to go back to Green Grass and there aren't that many of them. Or the grapes which for some reason I'm having a hard time collecting in Scarlet River. I think the gold situation and back tracking make this game much harder than Aveyond. I had one problem with the last chapter of Aveyond when I literally had to start over because I did something stupid. I forget now what it was. These games are much better played using the guide so you don't miss something critical because they don't document anything. You have to wait for people playing the game to come out with maps and lists, etc. I usually start playing an area, and then go back and check the walkthrough/guide to be sure I didn't miss something important before I move too far ahead.

One more try.

You'll see this game deserves a 2nd try.

Well, it was a particularly frustrating back up of several hours of play, but after help from Indinera and others I am trying again. I am back to the Lighted Swamp going to try again. I got killed big time before by the Rogue. So wish me luck.

Thanks everyone.

This is an old thread but I'd like to give my contribution nonetheless...

I played many RPG, a few from Aldorlea, and IMHO Millenium 1 seems much more difficult than the standard.

Not only I agree about the lack of gold (yeah I know, you can sell items, yet...), but the number of objects that you may find or that monsters drop are surprisingly low.

Well, that's for the negative part.

On the good side, I appreciate the storyline and the characters.
Marine is a commoner that doesn't bow to his destiny. The message is very positive: everyone can change the world
As always in Aldorlea games, there is a lot of humour that I appreciate as well. Benoit is a great character

At the moment I am stuck in the old temple, because I don't have enough items to survive the fight with the djinn. My only hope is to keep killing monsters and eventually reach a much higher level. Oh how I'd like to find some phials...

Playing on Story or even Easy mode usually "fixes" the difficulty of the game.

It's true that MM can be quite hard, though.
I would say that it's more sensitive to how many secrets the player discovers. The game is perfectly playable with good equipp, but if too many things are missed, then it quickly becomes a struggle.
Now this is obviously necessary, because it gives the player another reason to try to discover everything, but I've always felt that LF or the other parts of MM saga are more forgiving to this...

I came up with story mode exactly because of that. Story mode IS easy, truthfully.
