For anyone who wants to make plat (works for new players as well)

[Randomiseduser]

The question of how to make plat comes up occasionally so I'm just sharing what are some of the common money making things you can farm without RNG screwing with you and tons of other people trying to beat you in a static camp (which requires you to be of a certain level as well).

The info here kind of covers what you can get in some common levelling areas which are valuable to mainly other players.

Feel free to add more!

To start saving up plat (can do as long as you are not level 1)
A stack of bone chips - 10pp
A stack of spider silk - 10pp
A stack of spiderling silk - 10 to 20pp
Low and medium quality Wolf/Cat/Bear skins - 2-5pp each (these kind of suck as they are heavy and doesnt stack. See below for better idea)
High quality bear skins - 30pp each

What to do with skins:
The better idea is to buy a sewing kit and make leather paddings (http://wiki.project1999.com/Leather_Padding) to sell to players. One stack now is 100-200p.
You should try to get a skinning knife to make your life easier. It allows you to convert high into med into low quality skins in your sewing kit.

When you are around level 12:
Greater light stones from wisps can sell to players for 10pp

Another alternative (which really needs some luck as the camp is VERY popular);
The nybright sisters camp in Lesser Faydark (http://wiki.project1999.com/Lesser_Faydark) (#14 on the map).
There are basically 4 mobs here that drop bronze weapons. They sell very well to npc vendors. If you are not killed on sight to the woodelfs there is an npc hut (#10 on map) that you can sell at. If not you can run to the druid rings (#6 on map) in Steamfont Mountains (http://wiki.project1999.com/Steamfont_Mountains) to sell.

When you are 16 or higher, i suggest you make a trip to Najena (http://wiki.project1999.com/Najena) in Lavastorm.

Kill the elementals in there and look for the following drops which sells well to players (and you can get exp as well):
Earth Elemental - Drop of mercury (~30p)
Fire Elemental - Lava Rock (30 - 50p)
Mist Elemental - Swirling Mist (30-50p)

If you kill the magicians, they have a chance to drop the mage focus items (http://wiki.project1999.com/Magician_Focus_Items) which you can sell or 100-200p each

You can stay in Najena till the mid 20s if you like. If you are bored or when you think the exp is getting slow, head to Mistmoore Castle.

Just look for groups and join them. When you first start, the best money comes from the Gargoyles which drop Gargoyle eyes that stack and sell very well to npcs.

As you start moving up into the deeper part of the zone (namely the castle area), mobs starts to drop Essence of Moonlight (http://wiki.project1999.com/Essence_of_Moonlight).

There are smiths out there who pay 50-80pp for each essence.

By this time you should be all set.

The above is my suggestion for anyone who don't mind sticking to just a few zones to level while they make money. And since the items drops off common mobs, you dont have to worry about people camping them all the time.

Great guide! A lot of it is already in the http://wiki.project1999.com/Treasure%20Hunting%20Guide, but I'll try to add the rest when I have time.

A couple quick notes. I'm not sure you'll find many players buying greater light stones (in part just because the Titanium client makes light much less of an issue than it was in classic). However, they can be turned in for the http://wiki.project1999.com/Concordance_of_Research quest to get about as much plat. Also, I've seen a set of all four mage focus items selling (but not necessarily get sold) at 300 plat, so I'm not sure 100-200 plat for each one is realistic.

Some of the other items might be a little optimistic in their pricing (eg. HQ bear skins typically sell for 25 plat or less), but then again players are often willing to pay a few extra plat to a noob selling those sorts of items, so it's hard to say for sure. As with selling anything, the more patient you are the more you'll get for it, but I just wouldn't want anyone to expect to get those prices 100% of the time.

P.S. As I say in the treasure guide:

Keep in mind that a level 60 character can earn more than a hundred times as much platinum as a lower level character in the same amount of time. Generally speaking, and especially if you are a caster, it's faster to focus on leveling first then treasure. Of course, characters do need gear/spells, but a character with poor gear can still level to 60 nearly as fast as a well-geared character.

Bracer of the Hidden camp.... 10k item drops from level 24 mobs.

[mgriff02]

^OP Fantastic post.

[Panicsferd]

Bracer of the Hidden camp.... 10k item drops from level 24 mobs.

That is a lie, its no where near 10k. I got one and willing to sell for 7-7.5k and no one wants to buy for that price. One person was wanting to pay 5-5.5k for it but I declined.

I think your better option would be to farm the goblin gazughi ring, I sold it for 7.5k and that item sells like hot cakes!

Edit: also the hidden bracer camp is decent on gems and sarnak lore gear that is worth 50-60p on rc. The gems can be vendored anywhere from 2 to 14 or so plat.

[B4EQWASCOOL]

I just want every poor nerd to report to the Bracer of the Hidden camp.

Also, on Red it's 10k all day. So, it's not a lie. Your post, however, was a blind assumption. May you bang many trannnies on accident using this logic.

That is what I thought that maybe it was more on red, but I never played red... mainly on blue and it is a lot cheaper.

But in my original post the bracer camp is pretty decent anyways since unlike the courier camp if you don't get the bracer you can make money off the lore gear/weapons and the gems that drop from the various sarnaks and if you are in the area and if the chancellor has spawned you can kill him for his spear (if you are mid 40s) for 500p (if you don't need the spear for the key).

You may not have noticed, but this thread is in the "General Community", not the "PvP Community".

Assuming that you're only talking about the server the forum is for isn't a "blind assumption", it's basic logic.

so general doesnt include red server? i thought it was general as in everyone who plays p99.

[Randomiseduser]

I don't play on red so i cannot comment too much, but if red has a similar player economy then the guide would work as well.

I didn't include higher value items as they usually require a lot more luck than farming the common drop items, which in my personal experience, provides a better stable return than trying to farm for a particular item. (I have really poor luck with camps)

Also, there isn't any items which are in Kunark, etc, because I mostly play on the main continents.

Please feel free to suggest any other things players can do to get money :)

Note: There is a fantastic spiderling silk camp in Field of Bone (http://wiki.project1999.com/Field_of_Bone). Go to the point marked C and you will know why.

Also, Kurn's Tower (http://wiki.project1999.com/Kurn%27s_Tower) in the same zone is probly one of the best place for bone chips. When i levelled my necro there I had enough bone chips to last me forever.
An alternative for bone chips is Najena as the beginning area of the zone is filled with skeletons. But please be at least level 10 before you go there.

[jolanar]

My biggest advice is just to be patient when selling. People aren't always buying bone chips or spider silks, but when they do they tend to buy everything you have, so don't start lowering the price just to sell.

[loramin]

so general doesnt include red server? i thought it was general as in everyone who plays p99.

I guess it's a little ambiguous, but there is a "PvP Community" section and no "Non-PvP Section", so it seems like "General" is "Non-PvP".

Starting zone is for Red and blue. Starting zone... not Red Starting Zone or blue starting zone. If you'll look at past posts, people come here to post Red static group invites and whatnot as well as blue.

Basic Logic: you failed.

There's a General BETA Discussion section below, I think that's where you should post.

Most, of course, being the operative word here. Meaning not red because no one else besides you cares about red.

And whatever this forum is, A) it most certainly isn't red, and B) it's the Starting Zone, so please keep kind of that garbage out of it.

[Gumbo]

Yea, the ring will sell if you can get it to drop. I've never farmed it but read enough threads of people farming the area for days with no drops.

[Canelek]

Yup, the goblin ring is insanely tedious. The main problem is you have to constantly be active and keep area clear to not only get the couriers to pop, but also to kill them before the goblins do. Couriers are around level 16 and the local goblins are 21-25 or so, including fairly tough casters.

It is doable for sure, but I wouldn't count on the camp as a decent source of income unless you have lots of time and nothing better to do with it... I was lucky and got one for myself on third courier in about 2 hours. Classes with good AE spells can make quicker work of it, but the effort is still rather high for such a rare drop off a rare-ish spawn.

Most folks seem to camp for several hours a day for many days and never see one. RNG...

Same I don't play on red, so I figured since this was in the general community I figured this would be dealing with the pve (blue) server and not the PVP (red) server.

I am a necro and I did kurns from 14-20 and with those levels I've got a crap ton of bonechips, so much so when I was lower I even sold some to get some easy, early plat to spend on spells.

I think all the bonechips that I farmed out of Kurns maybe lasted till I was 40+ then I had to re-farm them or buy them.

Also what helped as well when I was on my quest to farm the Goblin Gazughi Ring; which, I finally got this past friday - I got like 4-5 stacks of bonechips off of the greater scalebones, skeletons, icebones, warbones, etc that were in the way of my PHs or that I aggroed while doing that camp.

I finally managed to sell my bracer finally and I sold it for 6.5k, but I think that can be kind of reasonable since from personal experience the bracer seems a lot easier to get then the Goblin Gazughi Ring - I think the one of main reasons why the bracer camp is a lot easier the ring camp is it can be easier to spawn the legionnaire more so than the courier.

Normally when I did the courier camp I would (if lucky) get a courier every 30mins and this is during the day time in-game, at night I would be lucky to get a courier at all - but at legionanaire camp I would get maybe 3 or so for the same amount so because of that the chances for a bracer to drop are increased, and you don't have the issues where a night time you get more skeletons then any other mob spawning.

But anyways a lot of these rare items that are worth this much can be long to camp and that is a reason why they are 6K+ items and so maybe the payoff would be better to go somewhere else where you get a steady cash flow instead of just hoping and praying that you get lucky and get that 6k+ item.

[B4EQWASCOOL]

There where are the Blue/Non-PvP forums, if the General forums aren't Blue?

Or do we just not have any forums for the server everyone plays on?

When you graduate from grade school and can form a coherent sentence, we will resume this conversation.

[Munkh]

I've played on both Red and Blue. The economy is definitely NOT the same. Most items sell for a lot more on Red, but I have found that some (few) items on Red are selling for half of what they go for on Blue.

So you just have to really watch your items. The convenient thing about Red is you are not in anyway fighting for mobs or plat camps at the lower levels. I have found many times that I am all by myself in WK, NK or even zones like Befallen and Unrest. So it's easier to make money on Red, but items are more expensive if you are planning to purchase instead of camp for them.

[loramin]

When you graduate from grade school and can form a coherent sentence, we will resume this conversation.

Translation: I just realized that if I was right then there would be pure Red forums (the PvP forums) and Red/Blue forums (the General forums) and no pure Blue forums, and that doesn't make any sense when Blue has 10x the population of Red.

If you still think you're right, then you're too stupid to converse with....

You're wrong because people post for static groups in the Starting Zone section.

And dumb...

Look, I promise you that I would have been banned for saying Red so many times if this was a bluebie safe space. It's not.

[loramin]

if this was a bluebie safe space. It's not.

If you're correct there is no "bluebie safe space" anywhere, because there are no Blue forums (only Red and Blue/Red).

But believe what you want to believe, I'm done with this. Just keep the crap talk out of the starting zone whatever you believe: it's supposed to be welcoming for the new folks.

Awesome write up.
Additionally; in mid20s+, HQ brute hides sell decently (approx 50plat per)
Some people go to S.Karana for those gnoll papers too.

Someone told me about this guide on the wiki and I think it's very cool.

It has cash camps (vendor junk) and sell-able stuff camps in the list. While some of the pricing is a outdated (e.g. FBSS is now about 4k instead of 8-9k), it's still a good list!

There is no such place. In order to avoid the red trolls one must avoid p99 altogether. They are everywhere (except in game, because their population is always so low there....)

[A1rh3ad]

Was going to post something but I changed my mind. The red trolls have already come in and completely derailed this thread per usual. I swear I and most people who play this game wouldnt give two craps if your dinky little server was shut down. You guys harbor some form of inferiority complex or something
