Making money - Page 3

Just play it safe and tip anyone you ask for anything if they aren't in your group, at least once you're established money wise. Doesn't even have to be a lot, just shows good will. Nothing pisses me off more than being asked for haste or something 3 times by someone wearing well over 100k worth of gear, that couldn't even give me 15p or something. That's good for an /ignore usually.

Believe me, we can tell who can afford it and who can't. If you stop me and you're level 22 wearing low level stuff, I don't expect a tip and will probably just hit cancel if you even try to tip me. If you're lev 57 and ask for clarity while wearing a planar suit and hiero cloak in sebilis, you should be tipping.

Ditto for any other class you're dealing with. When I leave the bank I always keep about 150p on me just so I have money to give. I'm not saying I tip 150p for everything but just keep that bit of cash on you for high levels, then if it turns out you don't hit the bank for days you have money for several small tips if you need to ask outside the group for random stuff.

Certainly could do worse than to carry a stack of peridots on you also. Give your cleric a few...maybe more than a few depending on situation. If everyone did, it wouldn't really cost them anything and you'd have your symbols every time. Hell if you want to tip one for a ress you could tip them with some peridots, they'll use em. As an enchanter I go through plenty of peridots also runing myself. Occasionally people tip me with a few peridots which I like.

For the outdoor stuff. It isn't going to kill you to at least pay 50p for a port. Are you an established player and using /ooc to get ports so much that this is a problem? If so, you're doing it wrong. If you want to tip more (or are getting a skyfire/EJ port) then by all means, tip more. If you're newer and really can't afford it, just say so.

That's a joke right? I have to pay for ports but you expect clerics to travel to you and rez you for free? Gtfo.

Hi.
Im a 60 cleric. With access to multiple 60 clerics. No it is not a drama to go Rex, ever. And being paid for it is insulting.

Well you say that, but my experience of Clerics...even ones P lvling there mates in low lvl zones is unless you offer them oodles of plat they will not even look at you funny.

Mind you that has always been the way with churches [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] you want blessing? then you pay [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

gonna take this from a purely outsider point of view.. with no knowledge of eq

An average, or central tendency of a data set is a measure of the "middle" value of the data set. (Emphasis on Middle Value in case the apostrophes eluded you)

not a specific monster.. during a specific time of day... (not to mention that if the farming is that awesome the competition you'd have)

Same way you don't expect your stock broker to guarantee you 20% returns ever year (if he does.. reinvest now!!).. you shouldn't expect the ideal plat farming rate every day..

Can't believe i even have to explain this lol

So yes.. sometimes you will earn more than the "average" go ahead and pat yourself on the back and feel uber..

but back to the point.. yes this thread has gone way beyond the OP.. and would probably be more helpful if specific farming information for specific classes was discussed instead of random epeening(and as a friendly reminder the OP was asking about how to farm plat on his mid level monk..... but who reads original posts anyways.. only thing that matters is the last post >_>)

So offer them something to make it a non issue, go find a mage and deliver modrods or something, find a nec to twitch, whatever. DS the person theyre PLing for a few mins, take over healing. Make use of your available resources instead of throwing plat at problems and expecting people to give a shit.

You mean throwing money at a problem won't fix it all the time? But I thought this was like the real world...

Motec here is in the minority, Clerics offer a service just like anyone else, when i start getting ports for free i'll travel to you and rez you for free. To think any different because of some weird philosophical view you have of what a cleric is, is stupid. Obviously if there is a reason why you cannot tip that is something different entirely, but if you have money, give something, its not a hard concept.
