Is druid money making pretty good?

[Cen]

I have a Bard, a Shaman, and now I made an Enchanter. I love support and control classes.

But I hurt for cash ;D Im wondering if I should up a druid just for the sake of ports. Is the money roll in worth it compared to just using other classes to farm stuff? My bard can eat hill giants for breakfast all day long and my shaman can slowly xp on them (which is probably what I should be doing).

I don't know if Druid is in my blood other then for porting for cash. There's also just so many of them [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I do want a badass melee character someday soon, but I don't like pulling. Just tanking or melee damages [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

A 44+ druid can easily make 2-4k a day casually porting. If a raid target is in window then fucking forget about it, cash flow.

But, at level 58 you can succor people through SG and thats when the big dick cash comes in, those raid rushers toss lots of cash at you. I remember taking a group of 5 <[redacted]> and they gave me 4 rubies. others tip stuff like a black sapphire and other shit.

wait why am I telling possible competition this

Druid ports can be decent cash if you bind yourself in EC or in OT, you can easily make a few thousand a day semi afk. Just make sure you are using tell windows and always sow and offer a levi.

That being said I would suggest to keep pushing on your shaman until you're 52 or so then parking in Seb. You'll have plenty of chances to roll on some solid loot, probably make more money than the druid porting and gain xp while doing so.

Yes.

Join DaP and you can make roughly 1k an hour peak times.

44 is good enough to make decent cash.

My druid is in DaP, although I rarely if ever port just to make plat. When I do it's usually only for a short time, maybe make a quick few hundred plat and then check on other things I can do

That being said druid is the ultimate errand boy to have. (I mean this in a good way). They travel fast, are good soloing *nowhere near enc shm or necro* but still very good, have good enough tracking to find annoying mobs, can power noobies 1 - 15 with just buffs. And if you have the will to get 60 ppl always want PotG, I've had ppl pay me 100+ plat just to cast it on them when I was just standing in the tunnel not even advertising before.

Are they the best at making plat? No... ec fatcat is the best class for that.... Actually playing the game I'd say enc and shm. But porting is lazy mode plat

My druid is one of my least geared char - never spent a DKP on him, don't go out of my way to funnel plat towards his gear but he has gotten some scraps of gear and finished the druid epic. He has earned the most plat for me out of all my chars.

It's all what you have fun doing - I could earn plat on my better geared chars but druid isn't too gear dependent and is a good solo class. Can do random shit like port, PL people, charm kill in some scenarios, can track shit so good for finding shit, questing and getting around to check for certain mobs and are money makers too. A porting class is easier to use for your needs/farming because you don't have to take extra time to get anywhere and then it lets me leave my other characters parked out for raid targets or grouping/XP spots/whatever.

Porting itself is good plat and sort of mindless but I never really did it for plat, just would do it if someone happened to need and I was available. Eventually you'll get to a tier of gear where your upgrades are pretty expensive and you don't want to farm 1k an hour to build up for that 100k item. At least that's my opinion I'd rather work towards upgrades through raiding, or taking shots at rare/more valuable loot.

That being said I'm not super rich and only have some decent plat b/c I've been on the server for so long. There's plenty of other classes that are way richer than I am. Shaman, Enchanters, Necro are huge solo money makers - monks, clerics, warriors, rogues, all can make great money grouping. Any class has options for plat farming, there's a million ways to earn money - do what you like.

I thought the druid was your girlfriend's character? So you were in fact boxing in WL? tsk tsk.

I guess it just comes down to preference? I'd rather make money helping people get where they need to go and occasionally making friends along the way than staring at the same "cash camp" for 8 hours.

and porting around people all day for minimal plat gains is definitely very unhealthy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
