FARMINGFollow

Where would be a decent place for a 56 BST to farm? Never really farmed before, but getting to the point where plat is becoming essential for higher level gear and I basically have no source of income aside from selling old/unused gear. Any and all help appreciated, thanks...

As a 56 beastlord in mediocre equipment you should be able to do the first three tiers of Nurga readily. Free faction for Chardok, 2-5pp drops, the occasional star ruby or diamond, and semi-frequent 500pp-2k+ loots. Much less boring than farming tradeskill supplies.

As I recall, the shields weigh a ton and sell for only a couple plat. If you can't get 100% WR bags, I'd just leave them to rot and save your slots for Zraxthril weapons which weight less, sell for 5pp and change, and still drop often enough.

Still, Dulak is a good idea. Beats boring greenie farming and the cash is more "instant" in that you don't have to spend time in trader mode, competing with 300 other people selling silks or padding.

Thanks for all the suggestions, awesome insight into something I've yet to try. Appreciate the help and will test all of you suggestions. More comments appreciated! Keep 'em coming...

The best farming i have done for a while was quadding in CS (i know you cant't as a BL, but you could still hunt there), they drop gems every now and again, but the real plat is in the hides, i made 1000s there and still make a trip when im running low on cash. Never forget the good ol' frost giants (i love those guys).

First attempt with a quote, so please forgive me if it didn't take properly :)

At 56 you're not going to want to do Droga. The mobs there will tear you a new one.

Doing Nurga no gate potion is required, although it does make it a lot easier to get back to PoK - same can be said of anywhere with longer than a 5 minute run though. Nothing at all in Nurga sees through invis though. Here is a link to the BEST zone guide ever created. Make sure you get the zone maps as well if you have LoY. The player who made these put a lot of time and effort into them.

One final note regarding loot in Nurga. The best drop, IMO, from Nurga for a self equipped beastlord is the Lesser Knuckles of Serenity off of Death Caller Joepla. Although the large room with the Bloodthirsty Rat before Joepla's room can be solo pulled, Joepla's room cannot be solo pulled until 59. However, at 59, it is WELL worth the effort.

Sorry if it seems like I'm pimping Nurga, but it has proven to be the best all around money and exp zone I have ever been to as a beastlord, and I went from 52 to 59 there with occasional forays to other zones. Just make sure to max out your resists - LOTS of casters.

Have fun, farm away, get levels.

Still loving the tips, guys! Tried out a few of the places listed, and all are extremely productive : ) Thanks for all the help, and more is welcome!

Edit: Would like to point out that I am also a Barbarian Beastie, and would prefer not to farm in zones or areas that would hurt my good factions (i.e.: Highkeep)...Although I do appreciate the tip! Thanks
