Best loot anyone has seen nobles drop in High Keep?

[Loadsamoney]

They have low HP and High Keep is a high EXP zone, but Ice Giants outside Permafrost are solid and consistent money, even if they're somewhat underconned.

Weighing which of the two should be my next camp, because they're pretty far apart and if I commit to one and it's camped, the other would be too far out of the way to switch.

I mean, I guess there's Elemental Warriors at the entrance of The Hole as a third option, but I don't know how frequently they're camped or their money to exp vs TTK ratio is.

[cd288]

IGs are usually very camped so...

Nobles can be as well. Unfortunately you cited two of the most well known and popular camps in the game.

Can always do a /who all for the relevant zone and ask people if they're camping the spot(s) youre trying to do. Although it's not flawless as annoying anons don't show up on the /who.

[Jimjam]

An awesome haste robe! I never saw it again, so it must be incredibly rare! I’m surprised how little it vendored for.

[cd288]

Never heard of them dropping a haste robe

[Chortles Snortles]

probably someone gave it a tola charmed
(lol)

Even so, for the times when I am able to claim one of these three camped (how often are Elemental Warriors at Hole entrance camped btw?), what is the best loot the nobles can drop? I've heard gems but which ones?

Hole ent will be the best XP but the lowest plat / hour.

Really? I figured it would be the middle ground of the two, as the Elemental Warriors can drop Granite, Speckled Shards and Fiery Jewels, which vendor for 50, 80, and 100p respectively. Not to mention Loam armor which also vendors decently.

So what can Nobles drop then?

[Tewaz]

IG's loot is much better full stop. Toes sell for 50p+, fine steel, and can drop up to 50p in coin. Highly competitive.

Nobles drop mid level gems: opals, black pearls, etc. 3 spawns with 6 minute respawn. Mid competition.

Yes, really.

Also factor in the low chance of a named (Rocksoul, Bejeweled) spawning in place of a warrior chicken nugget and that will stop you right in your tracks until a group rolls through and kills it.

I still recommend it, though. I did my paladin 50-55 there. Solid xp, just need to make sure you back them all the way up to the waters edge and have them pre-rooted at 25% as they will flee.

[Chortles Snortles]

hey guys solo greens for xp
(lol)

[Loadsamoney]

So then what do Nobles drop that makes them better money per kill than Elemental Warriors?

[Loadsamoney]

I keep asking the question and nobody gives me an answer. It's like that scene in Alien Resurrection:

Go fight them and find out instead of wasting time

And unnecessarily tank my faction for future SoulFires? No.

I'd rather ask the numerous Monks around here who farm them on the regular.

Imagine faction being repairable, keep whining that you aren't getting replies tho that'll surely work

Thanks, I'll do that.

Good thread. Go to lguk

Only if frenzied ghouls, evil eyes and suppliers are not camped round the clock.

No one is killing the nobles to make plat for what its worth. They are really good exp and don't have very much health on a quick respawn. Their most expensive drop is probably the very rare black pearl that you can vendor for 19pp. Usually they drop nothing.

Alright, thank you. Was hoping they could drop something better, like Star Rubies or Fire Emeralds.

Probably better off with Elemental Warriors at Hole then.

Bank Clerk Jaylin is on Carson Mccabe faction. A turn-in with her is required as part of the SoulFire quest.

Also should factor in that during the 22 minute respawn time for nobles you can kill the HK guards (if they aren't camped - which usually not all of them are because their levels vary so much) which drop plat and a 4-5pp sword every time.

You know that letter piece is droppable right? You can hand in whether charming her or just use a random scrub like a Druid to run the errand.

I’ve killed thousands of guards with my paladin. Pretty much every other spawn in HK. I’ve quested the soulfire over 30 times since.

Nobles are on the 6:40 quick respawn

Bards are the slow ones. Nobles is fast.

Oh right

[Loadsamoney]

I could've sworn the Bards having better loot though. For some reason I remember looting a Star Ruby off of one once. Am I wrong on that?

I was speaking purely on spawn time I have no idea on gem drops, never farmed them for money just exp.

[Andyman1022]

Bards literally drop leather armor, a few coins and thats it.

[Andyman1022]

Very very rarely, Captain Boshinko can drop like a fire opal or w/e the 39pp stackable gem is. Maybe 1 out of every 20 kills or even more. If you want to farm plat while killing, kill guards on downtime.
