I wouldn’t agree it is no plat. Targ shields, finely crafted weapons, sarnak treasures, gems and cat tusks should drop while fighting in the area which is enough to cover the spells and consumables. Obviously doesn’t compare to gargoyles though.
@Loramin, I didn’t mean stop XPing to farm plat, i meant focus on plat rich xp mobs like wisps (which also are huge xp thanks to the GLS quests) and move on as you outlevel them (eg to gargoyle island).
Perhaps i should rephrase my question/ if xping exclusively in plat rich locations then by what level do you (or any other posters) estimate the druid will have saved enough pp for a ggr?

I'll repeat: as a rule, I believe that
farming plat/gear as a low-level character is a bad idea.The lower-level toon spends the exact same amount of time, only to get a small fraction of the plat a higher-level toon would. That plat won't help you level faster, because all you can get with "dozens of plat" is a few more stat points. It's a waste time.
But again, rules have exceptions. Most people farm plat for JBoots well before 60, and they're not wrong to do so: the plat farming time will be made up for by the reduced travel time. Likewise, a Mage with a focus item or Shaman with an epic (from their guild) can use those items to save more leveling time than it took to acquire them.
But with the ring, you're not even losing anything (other than the
dozens of plat a level 20 can farm), because you'd be doing the exact same thing (killing mobs for XP) anywhere else.
The
only difference between a Druid that goes to LOIO at 17, and kills until they get a ring, vs. a Druid that goes to the Warrens (or anywhere else) is that the latter will have dozens more plat, and maybe some minor gear or faction (which, again, a high level character can farm much more easily) ... while the former will have a ring that helps them level faster for 25 or so levels.
