If your Shaman has Torpor, they can camp Fungi or CoF[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] It's still better to get Torpor ASAP and then you can get great items/plat much faster while you are not raiding.

I am aware I have a torpor shaman myself, and it still require a lot of time to farm 100k.

Torpor isn't that rare if your guild do VP, I've seen dozens.

That's coming from someone that bought torpor for 75k, I regretted it later on since I was raiding anyway and I could had it for free.

edit : Also shaman is always seen as the godlike farmer on these forums, but personally I've made A LOT more plats with my chanter and monk (hell even on my cleric). On those highend cash camp the mob are usually high level enough that it's a pain in the ass to slow, and you don't bring much dps especially if it's hard to land any spell.

I also bought Torpor for 75k, and it wasn't hard to make that money back. Enchanters and Shamans are good at farming different things. The benefit to having both is you can adjust your farming strat based on what is currently being camped.

VP requires you to get your key, and not everyone wants to do that. Again, that would require the pre-requisite of getting your near-useless Shaman VP keyed, and then waiting for Torpor to drop.

It comes down to how patient you are, and how much you like to play your Shaman. Joining a guild and waiting for Torpor would save money in the short term, but keep your Shaman in limbo for however long that takes, which could easily be months.

Buying Torpor now would allow you to play your Shaman AND farm faster, so you would be making more money during that same period of time you were waiting for Torpor. I would say that is a better trade-off, unless you plan on never farming items again.
