Farming plat

[Orionsaight]

I already tried to post this but it didnt seem to work. Sorry if this is a re-post

I have two questions.

Question 1) If you are higher level but you want to farm plat, can you farm low level camps? Like if I was level 40 could I camp sisters in lfay?

Question 2) If the first answer is no; then can I keep making a bunch of level 12's to camp sisters?

Technically you could; but that would be a dick move if someone is trying to exp there. Especially since that camp is perfect for brand new players trying to earn a little plat and exp.
A much better place to do that is a mid level dungeon like sol A. Those gobos drop way better loot and there are plenty of them in the zone to support people plat farming and exping.
What class are you? Best option for casual plat farming is by far seafuries in OOT. Going to need to be around level 50 though depending on class.

I have see red con /anons farming orc belts in Crushbone.
If it's a cash camp or a trade skill spot; prepare to be ready for all sorts of D~baggery. If you meet a nice player; sometimes they'll give up the camp and even pay you for the trade drops you may find. If it's a pixel hoarder or greed merchant, then it's probably FCFS/FTE or even gtfooh.

To be fair, just because someone wants to camp stuff for their alt it doesn't make them a douchebag pixel hoarder (and I say this having never camped CB belts or any similar low-level XP item for any of my alts). Either way those orcs are going to be killed, and their belts are going to be used by a single human being. Just because one human won't give up their camp to another human simply because the other human's character is lower level doesn't make the first human a douche, at least in my book.

What I wrote was from personal experience, and what myself and my group witnessed. I'm not making anything up & it is also part what the OP asked. I alerted him that there's the potential of players doing douchey things, such as, a lv60 killing the monsters that you are killing within your level X range. Is it allowable? Yes, as already stated in another post. Is it a douchey thing to do? YES. I'm confused to your stance from this. C'mon man, you were nicer when I helped you with that epic =P

I agree if your a high lvl in a low lvl area farming and some low lvls come around looking for XP the high lvl should (im afraid to say only a dbag would refuse) leave and let the people within xp range have it - or move to an area where they wont interfere with the low lvls

I dont think anyone would argue against that right?

A 60 sitting on Crushbone, that is the textbook definition of douche

Absolutely, and this is very common on Project 1999. If you go to Droga the odds are high that the good item camps are all taken by people who can't even get any XP there. If you go to Seafury island you're going to see 60's killing even though they can't get XP there (for multiple reasons). Etc.

Absolutely, although that's a terrible example: when you're higher level there are much better ways to earn money. But if the sisters dropped gems like the Seafuries I can guarantee that low-level characters would rarely get a shot at the camp.

Well the answer was "yes", so this question is invalid, but just to elaborate the only time in the game where you would want to maintain low-level characters is if you plan to go after Vox or Nagafen. For everything else in the game (that I can think of at least), more levels = better.

If you're doing the sisters camp at level 60 then yeah, you'll generate some hate, but just because you're taking a low-level XP spot for no reason. For any legitimate plat camp though your level really doesn't matter: at Seafury island, Rathe hill giants, named goblins in Droga, Xalgox in Kaesora, Haden in Qeynos Hills, or at pretty much at any camp on the http://wiki.project1999.com/Treasure%20Hunting%20Guide I would be very surprised if someone was offended because you did it at a higher level than you're "supposed to."
