good plat spots for me?Follow

If you want experience in your kills you can go to crystal caverns. The miners drop velium which sells for like 60p+ each in the bazaar. I think the miners are around level 32-34. Nothing in there see's invis and once you get used to the zone there is a dwarf town down at the bottom where you can bank and sell. The ent to crystal caverns is in the back of the rygorr fort in eastern wastes nothing see's invis there either. Takes a little getting used to to hunt in here but there are several safe pulling area's and with a little patience you can hunt here without alot of worry.

BUY THE GAME FIRST~!

well pick a diferent server

Oh how I wish making 700 pp/day was my only problem.

Oh yeah, I don't make anywhere near that.

Just my

yup :P just have no money to buy my new spells thats why i need plat fast.

Why are your spells so expensive? They weren't that expensive for my druid (going on your 700pp/per day.) If you can make 700pp per day, then you'll have your next level spells in less than a day.

The velium bricks are for tradeskilling which may not be all to popular on the test server. I don't know what to tell you as much of the big profits in EQ is reliant on the bazaar and selling to other players.

ok let me tell u all i have 700pp in all cuz i spent an entire day of runing back and forth to all the camps in bb killing green goblins, takeing there blood and heads. i also tryed the ldon for a bit but that just gave my char exp. and maybe for a higher lvl it is not that expencive for druid spells but i have exactly 81 spells to buy, to be up to date with lvl 39 druid

atm i die killing hill giants, and bb is geting slower and old!
it realy depends on how long you all are on EQ realy, i cant expect that it would be that long, judgeing that you are replying to this.

(me) i have no life, i stay online all day, just changed over to the test server.

so go and search all the spells for lvl 29,34, and 39 you can add them up and see how much your monthly income makes a dent in it :P

At 34 as a druid I quad-kited Ulthorks in Eastern Wastes. You get amazing experience, and the chance to drop an ulthork tusk. Turn 4 of those babies into an Othmir in Cobalt Scar, and you can make some serious plat. Of course, the tusk drops seem to be very random. Sometimes you'll get alot, sometimes you won't. But here's the quest so you can look at it yourself :)

Man if your 34 Druid can't Kite Hill Giants I'd check out another class 'cause you're not playing your Druid right!
Hill Giants are a breeze at 34 unless you're rooting or tanking them!

At 34 I was Quad Kiting Spectres in Oasis of Marr on the East Beach and making oodles of Plat and Exp.

If you're Kiting and Quadding skills are not yet refined (which seems evident from your post) practice on the wasps or other greenies in Kelethin (Practice getting em bunched real tight so your AoE nukes land on em all). Once you've got that sorted, try Quadding Zelniaks in Oasis or Ulthorks in Eastern Wastes)

While I'd agree that the troll diagnosis is probably correct it does go to show a few points.

First the lobby for doing away with the player economy. I see plenty of arguments of how being able to trade between players has "ruined" EQ. Well here is what you get when there is no player economy ("noone is really in bazaar"), a mid level player with no clue spending their day ganking newbie mobs for the cash.


And as for the "Money for Spells" argument - what a load of bull! Like any character with short funds you buy what you need. Prioritise. Then the cost drops dramatically. Sure you can now port to umpteen zones. Do you want to go to any of them? Doesn't sound like you do so don't buy the spells. You are no longer going to make money porting people so not having them is purely a personal thing. Sure get Stonebrunt for all the lazy idiots who can't run through the Warrens, but GD, Commons, Toxx!!, who uses these nowadays? Twilight Sea and Grimling Forest are the other ones that people still ask for. But just buy the Circle you won't ever hunt there.

I can remember as an impoverished cleric marking the order I would buy spells on my spell list so if I ever got another 10pp I knew which one to buy next.

And the choice of Test as a server. It demonstrates the trade-off on low population versus playability. Too crowded and it becomes impossible to hunt anywhere, too sparse and there is nobody to work with either in trade or game.

Finally that hunting level 5 mobs when you are 34 is as powerful an expression of incompetence as you could possibly wish for. I know we all probably knock over the odd goblin while waiting for an LDoN but to work at it hour after hour is really sad. It reminds me of the lesser case of the 30 enchanter whom tried to take over a camp in PC "because the loot was good". And of course in the bad old days of the Aqua Goblins those camps were 24/7 by level 30+ lamers. I'm tempted to ask how many times this idiot got killed
