Making plat advice?

As a Necro, only get enough plat to buy your spells and that's it. Do not farm equipment or fancy stuff money.

Your ability to make plat increases geometrically. If you wait a couple of levels you can make tons more plat in a fraction of the time it takes now. So any time you spend farming now provides a tiny return compared if you invest that same amount of time later.

The correct response to "how to make money as a newb" is always just to level up higher, camps like sisters are nice but leveling as fast as possible is the best strategy.

Level a ranger to 20, camp Pyzjn

The highest amount of plat i was able to farm with my necro at lvl 60 was about 7-900pp/hour iirc. This was at cyclops in oot before nerf. The higher lvl your are the more cash you can farm for sure.

However, I find it way more fun to grind xp solo if I can get some loot while doing it. Finding a good spot for xp and loot no matter the level is a big part of the fun for me.

Yes, as long as you aren't going out of your way trying to make money at the expense of leveling. Making money while getting good xp is nice, getting good xp so you can get to the higher level cash sooner should be your primary goal though.

Just level up a couple of hours in a CT or Paw group can get you around 100p per hour of casual gameplay

When I was recently leveling on Faydwer the Sisters were permanently camped. If you play off hours it might work, but I never had any success landing the camp.

For 12-17 I thought Erud's Crossing was really relaxed and a good source of XP & PP through Lightstone turn-ins. It was less crowded than NK and for pet classes, you can pull to the shore and keep a steady stream of wisps coming.

Treants if you can get them and don't care about Surefall Glade / Qeynos Guards faction is also quite good, but it's usually camped

It's not worth trying to make money until you're in your 20s. Level up as fast as you can until you're able to farm properly. If you're a druid, shaman, enchanter or magician you can camp Guard Chopin in Highkeep from 26 to 34 and make several thousand plat on top of excellent XP.

By and large, the most convenient way to make money is to farm mobs that drop vendor weapons or some other similar source of constant income. Trying to camp some big-ticket item is really ineffective unless you're willing to log in at 6AM trying to find the camp open and then stay there the entire day.

On average you'd make more money per hour farming guards somewhere than camping an FBSS. People who camp specific items are nearly always wasting their time unless they really know what they're doing and can devote half and whole days to it.

Thanks folks, this is all really solid advice. Looks like I have a lot of options from here! My primary concern was not having enough plat for spells, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a little gear envy seeing a lot of the folks I've grouped with recently/the auctions going on in EC lol. I'll stay patient and just focus on leveling, then, since Deathfist belts got me all of my level 12 spells with some to spare.

I'm a pretty casual player, so areas that aren't highly contested are preferable. I think I'll give the gargoyle island a shot. Thanks again, all--much appreciated!

Travel to everfrost... and there you will find giant hunters, huntin giants. Offers to exchange their gold and silver and copper to platinums. Offer to sell their fine steel weapons and exchange them for moneys (and say it cost them a 10% cut).

Is a great ways to make early moneys. And if you come offerins to exchange their silver and copper and gold to platinum, and you gotta run to the bank to do it... they will probably gift you some treasure even!

This. Spec camps in the Feerrot work well too. You will make a lot of Plat simply running your ogre back and forth.
