I am currently a 36 Monk on The Combine.
I was wondering what is a good way to make some plat? I can't solo HG's yet so that's out of the question. Anything else relatively easy to farm?
I would also like to know what a lvl 11 Ranger could do for plat. My brother just started playing EQ and keeps asking me for money. It is time he knows what farming is.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If you have decent equipment, go to HighKeep and kill the guards. They drop Fine Steel Short Swords and you can make plat rather quickly there.
As for your brother, tell him to try Blackburrow. Almost everything there is stackable and sells for about 2 gold each. Not extremely fast, but at 11, it's the best I've seen.
Good luck on the farm road.

For both: Spiderling silks ftw. Your ranger will even get xp from them iirc. Everfrost near the PoK book is a great place. Just kill everything, skellies, bears, wolves and gnolls - and spiderlings!
For your monk: The Spire camp in Southern Karana gets you loads of fine steel weapons, and when you are bored with that, go south to the KFC camp, the birdies drop nice gems. The two zones on either side of Shar Vahl yields tradeskill items that people usually only start using at higher levels, meaning you can earn a lot by farming there. Chunks of Condensed Shadow and whetever it is the wolves drop in Hollowshade, I forget.
For your ranger: Forage, forage, forage. Lock forage to your movement keys, and keep a load of bags in your bank, where you dump everything, When you have a couple bags of roots, vegetables etc., go to the Bazaar and unload. Pay attention to what people look for in /barter; then make it a habit to hunt in zones where those items drop.

Thank you for all the advise!
One more question. I set it to forage every left turn I make. But how do I auto inventory the foraged stuff?
thank you.

For your bro I would suggest farming silks, skins, eggs and bonechips.
Cat, Bear and Wolf pelts drop from various animals in may low level zones such as The Commonlands, The Karana's, Everfrost.
Spiderling silks from Everfrost, Field of Bone (in the little spider caves), and The Ferrot.
Eggs anywhere you can find lowbie snakes, most all newb yards, such as outside the gates of Freeport, Kaladim, Neriak, etc etc.
For you, as someone mentioned fine steel sells well. Besides HHK, you can find abundant FS in Mistmoore Castle and Unrest. Really lots of the old zones have fine steel drops.
Other zones: Sounds like you may be able to start in on Crystal Caverns, the orc weaps sell well, the golem thingys drop some gems and the crystalline spider silks sell nicely in the baz.
You might also try Grimlings as soon as you can. There are a couple grimling caves in Tenebrous Mountains that are a lower level than the AC Grimlings, but richer than GF Grimlings. The Grimling runner also passes thru this area hourly so if you camp the caves you're likely to snag a Rallic Pack pattern or two that will sell very nicely in the baz.
If your forage is up to snuff, forage velious zones for Tufts of Dire Wolf. LDoN's are good xp at your level and excellent zones to forage as they are the only zones for some of the tempers needed for smithing. Also save your fruits and veggies. Lol, my level 70 still saves hers for selling in the baz.
Good luck making plat!

Autoforage 101
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, find out what number your Forage function has:
In your 'Actions' menu, click the second tab. One of the buttons there will have Forage on it.
The buttons are numbered like this:
1 2
3 4
5 6
Make a note of that number. In the following, when I write '#', you should insert the number you just found.
Secondly, click the fourth tab in the 'Actions' menu. This opens up the list of 'Socials'.
Click an empty one, this opens the window 'Edit Social.
Type in a name, such as 'Autoforage'.
In the first line, type
/doability #
In the second line, type
/pause 10
In the third line, type
/autoinventory
Press 'Accept'
Thirdly, make a hotkey of your new social by rightclicking on it until a button appears on your cursor, and place your new Hotkey somewhere in your Hotkey menu. Make a note of that number.
Fourthly, make a macro to use that hotkey. This is, as mentioned elsewhere, MUCH easier than it sounds: Open the 'Options' menu and click the 'Keyboard' tab. Scroll down the menu you find there, until you find 'Macros'. Click in the 'Alternative' colum at the proper line, the one that corresponds to the Autoforage hotkey number. It will then say 'Press a key'. Now press the key you normally use to turn right. Close the 'Options' window.
The next time your character turns right, you will see the 'found some food' text, and for a brief time you will see the food you found on your cursor. After maybe one second, you will hear the sound of a bag opening and closing - and the food is now safely tucked away. This obviously only happens when A) You turn right, and B) your Forage function is ready. Forage still takes forever and a day to refresh after each use, but this way you don't have to think about using it at all, except to empty your bags quite often. And if your Forage skill is over 100, you will automatically earn a LOT of plat from every LDoN you go to...
One last thing: When you make a Macro, keep in mind that it is for your ACCOUNT, not for your CHARACTER. So you may want to disable the autoforage function when you play a non-foraging character, or you may find yourself in a very awkward situation from time to time.

For you brother's ranger, once he hits level 16 and gets panic animal send him to everfrost peaks to fear kite mammoth calves and work his way up to mammoths.
He'll get decent xp to level and once he works his way up to the adults he'll get bags full of mammoth tusks that vendor for a tad over 11pp each iirc. There is a vendor close by standing on some ruins. It was back in 2000 when I did this with my ranger so not sure if anything has changed much but I'd bet nowadays there will be little competition for the spawns.
Oh and for your question about how to have your forages go into your bags, add this command to your hotkey.
/autoinventory

Level 11 ranger could do upper guk spiders really easy. The drop tons of silks and minor gems. Could probably take some of the frogs just past the spiders for fine steel drops.
38 Monk could do Crystal caverns easily for velium drops,pp, weapons, named, etc.
Also could take to Geos on for gems, plat, exp. You could also do the back of Upper guk for the pp and fine steel or zone into lower for the same.
What can I say. Dungeons are the Sh*t for plat, drops, and exp.

It's simple really, I can't believe no one else has caught the obvious answer yet, tsk tsk.
Build a time machine...travel back, say, 2 good years should do it.
Farm green goblin blood and heads in Butcherblock.
Pawn off your EQ account/computer/everything else to make up for the ridiculous cost of building a time machine in the first place...what were you even thinking!?!?
