I take it you focus on gathering items instead of hunting monsters since you only have 2 gold?
I do both, balancing between both at same time. One week hunting, next one week gathering.
Down to 2 gold, due to training my skill at the Academy.
Blasted Academy tutor, eat most of my gold

Most likely. My last adventurer was broke but had many items. My newest adventurer has around 20 gold from monster-hunting, though I've had -terrible- luck finding good items.
If you are in Atamara, you may lookup Oak for exchange of items.
