How to loot and make money?

[RiverSong]

Okay, I just started playing the game, and I know it's a stupid question... but I am level three, killed a few enemies as I was doing my beginner quests... but I have earned 0 money so far... and my weapon is almost broken... I haven't gotten any money from the few quests I have done, Whenever I kill enemies, I press F key, I am not sure if it might be something else for looting.. but I haven't earned a single cent... My weapon only has 6 durability left... I can't repair the training weapon, much less actually buy a different weapon!!! what happens when the weapon breaks?

You'll get a hongmoon weapon shorty if you follow the quests (one of the quests teaches you how to repair and what not as well).  Once you leave the prologue/training zones things will start dropping.  Currency will  automatically be collected, any items will flop out on the ground in a little package and you'll press F to open/pick them up

At the beginning you really don't need to use your coins for anything. Save them, you should be getting lots of hammers for repair soon.

You get a ton of hammers just from following the quest lines, I didnt make money until I was able to dungeon etc, getting rare drops and selling them on the auction house and stuff.
