  Go to 6way path, and walk up one page toward Perion. Kill Jr. Boogies and collect their cards and use 3 of them. Open your Crusader Codex, and click the Familiar Tab. There's where they live. They can have up to 3 stamana orbs, and each card gives them one. The orbs are for how long they can be out before they need to rest, while using any extra cards will refill some stamina. Double click the Jr. Boogie and it will summon. They passively restore 20% of your max mp every 5 seconds or so, which does not cost them stamina to do.
  
  They're easy to get (being level 3 or so mobs) and it will last you forever.
  
  Edit: Mano (the boss snail by Lith Harbor) does about the same but for HP regen. Great familiar to have on a Demon Avenger.
  
  As for answering your question directly, Blue Mushrooms south of Henseys will drop a rice meal that sells for 1,000 meso each. That's the best you can do at your level. Since they're food/potions they have an above normal drop rate.
  
  If you're playing on any server other than reboot you can turn this money into 100% defense scrolls (from town vendors) and then start getting stars on some low level gear to reduce damage you take so you don't have to use mana shield. Note: reboot doesn't have scrolls.) That low level gear (generally 60 from Tot's How-to guide) will last you easily until you get the 120-140 mob set gear, at which point you do it again until you can start getting boss gear. As a mage you can't have enough defense, and it's a (relatively) cheap, and effective way to make your gear last longer.

  On top of self-sufficient familiars, I also suggest farming elites- assuming you get a dark map (where the message "You feel something in the dark..." displays), you can kill the elite boss for Clean Slate Scroll 10%s, Epic Potential Scroll 50%s, and Innocence Scroll 50%s, and every elite monster can drop cubic blades. These items sell for quite a bit of meso to players, enough to prepare you for later content.
  
  Be fore-warned, however; these items have devalued with bots farming them too. While you can make money off of hunting, do not think this will out do merching (which, by the way, is the activity that buys the above items off of you the most).
  
  Lastly, there's farming Big Spider familiars in the Verne Mines near Edelstein. They are level 72 mobs. The familiar for them grants an item drop rate bonus that is useful for all players including yourself. If you don't farm and sell them, get yourself a maxed out one at least, since the drop rate helps with bosses later.

  Big Spider is 10% drop rate chance. While helpful if you're already more than self sufficient, it doesn't even begin to matter if you're not.

  You should never farm with the intent to sell to other players specifically because botters have already cornered the market. Nexon should not even be a condender for your IRL dollar for the purpose of gaining meso. For the same start up cost on farming, you could just turn around and buy billions of meso from same botters. The only time you should buy NX is if you want some outfit, or some pet, or some convenience item that you cannot get from other players.
