Iirc I’ve heard that name in negative light elsewhere as well. Seems like a real POS.

Also seems to not be very good at the game if the best idea he can come up with for farming plat is abusing newbies in paineel

OP: Sorry that happened to you. Makes me sad when I hear stories like that. From what I'm hearing here, the server would be far better off without that guy around. I hope the GMs take action.

Tbh the only real ways I know of how to make money as a wizard are killing OoT longsword sisters and porting people. But I also admit I'm not very good, maybe one day I'll find a better way. I certainly wouldn't try to KS someone else at that camp though.

What level are you? You can look towards quadding mobs that drop fine steel / coin, camping giants, quadding wyverns in Cobalt Scar or suits in Wakening Land.

The best way to make money in general though is to just get higher level, things just start dropping better vendor loot or gems/trinkets that sell for a lot to vendors, it adds up quickly.

53. I've quadded a ton on my journey to get there, from Splitpaw gnolls, EK guards, Spirocs and Wyverns. I haven't tried the WL suits yet.

They're good exp for sure but not really reliable when I need a serious infusion of cash, in my experience. I have yet to find a better source of income than OOT sisters and Rivervale guards. Porting can be better than that on some nights too. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ya, I think I've made around 10k plat in the last couple of weeks just quadding wyverns and suits and vendoring like 80% of it. I've gotten lucky though and gotten 5 Crushed Flame Emeralds which was ~2k plat or so. Porting can definitely be more on busy days though, but yea--sounds like you know how to make plat then you're all set.

Some of the dwarf guards in bb are quadable there’s like 12 spawns always drop at least 5 pp weapons plus a couple plat plus sometimes additional FS weapons as well.

Wyverns are good as they drop gems that can be censored for like 40-50pp usually (sometimes I think they drop velious class armor gems as well that can be sold to players for like 100 pp).

Suits are good too

Maybe you could quad geos by pulling them out of the caves but tough if shamans spawn.
Wyverns are okay, they're great when they drop their gems. In my experience at least it's mostly just a couple of plat plus a meat though. At least wyvern pickles are tasty. xD

You should always defer mobs to people who get exp from them

Wiping out an entire zone as a high level player for vendor trash drops is an empty-zone luxury only. It is not a right

Don’t be a dick
Yeah one of my favorite things to do is to pull all of CB or BB and AoE it down. I make sure to only go there when no one else is though.

For sure, I know how to do that much at least.

Would love to one day be able to afford a big ticket item though, to learn how to make *that* kind of money. Most of you are probably swimming in fungis and whatnot; i'm sitting here wondering how i'll ever get a tolan's bracer.

After talking to Selush's guild master, Selush threatened me with more problems if I didn't delete my petition.

I thank you all for your support, it really made me feel better, but after Selush's last threats, it's not worth it to me. I think I'll move on to something less stressful.

But thanks to everyone that expressed encouragement. You folks are awesome!

If you quadded Wyverns for a whole level you would make more money than killing OOT sisters or Rivervale guards. The gems will drop enough that you will make solid plat.

I think that's the thing that irks me the most here, it's not like it's a class that can't solo so they're blasting low mobs for a little cash or something. They're a high level necro, you can be getting better xp / money / both virtually anywhere else that doesn't involve griefing newbs.

Fortunately in my own experience it's been fairly rare to run into these situations, so don't expect this to happen all the time to you acrostoa. I've been on p99 for years and have had very, very few issues with people intruding on my camps, MOST people are receptive and respectful to established camps.

Technically though, they're correct, in that they can just go contest those spawns. Sometimes you just have to take the L. I've had quads that go terribly wrong, consume way too much mana due to unlucky resists, the mobs start respawning before I can recover mana for another quad, and someone else comes in and rightfully takes the mobs because on this one particular repop I couldn't immediately grab them. It's a bummer but in those moments you have to accept losing the mob(s).
