I'm wanting to play the nec and I can handle blues but it's a struggle with so little mana. I'm not really powerful enough to camp HGs or HHK guards. Any ideas on something that's easy and consistent? I don't need to earn like 1K an hour or anything, just need something that will net like 1K over like the course of a day or something. I know a lot of INT gear is cheap.
A really easy quest you could farm for XP and plat is the lightstone quest. With your pet alone, you need zero gears, just mow the wisps down. You could sell the stones to players, or take the stones to NK, to the gypsy camp and hand the stones in for XP, then sell the books the gypsy gives you. The greater lightstones are rewarded with a book that sells for 10pp each.

It wouldn't take long for you to get decent platinum for some cheaper high int, high mana items. Cone of the Mystics is 200pp, and so is stein of moggok, both very nice for a necro. Also, look for a tome of miragul, 200-250pp which being non-iksar you actually can wield. Any two of these three items would grant you substantial mana improvements.

Once you build your mana up a bit, MT halfling guards are great XP as others have suggested, or you could go to Iceclad and XP on ice cougars. The ice cougars give decent XP, and also rarely drop Cougar Claw Earrings which sell for 200pp each.
