mage farm
 

whats a solid place a lvl 45 mage could farm items

You'll have to be a little bit more specific on the type of items you want. Are you looking to gear up, or are you looking for cash camps?

You lookin for corn? Rice? Carrots?

Be a little more specific please.

plat or items

Sarnak legionnaires in loio. Will be 10x easier with 49 fire pet.

Decent gem drops off dragoons (topaz etc....) and of course chance at a bracer of the hidden or other goodies. When I was 49 and has nothing to do I think I averaged about 300p an hour there not including special drops.

CoM is a pretty good place to get loot at that level if you group and are lucky at rolls. Won't get super rich but like has been said if you can get to 49 to get the Fire pet, which is pretty easy in CoM, you will have a lot easier time soloing good plat and items. :cool:

Level to 49 first, a new word will open once you get the 49 pets. The difference in power between 44 and 49 pets is similar (although in a very different way) to the difference you experienced between level 1-3 and having your first pets at level 4.

If you are adamant on farming at 45, I'd suggest a place dropping a lot of gems or fine steel weapons with a merchant nearby. The best cash camps are well known and overfarmed but you may get lucky and find them open (giants in RM for example).

I would find a camp that can afford both exp (primarily) and loot (secondary). Gaining levels = faster plat.

oasis specs

can do seafuries in OOT at 49 I assume, they drop great gem loot and would probably give you solid exp into early 50's
