Go necro or enchanter. Druid is not worth it for pure profit. Port money only gets you low-mid lvl items. Any high level items would take months and months of port money.
It will take 2-3 weeks to get a druid to 34 to get easy port money, a lot easier then to get a necro/chanter to 60, I dont get the point of spending that much time on a character you dont even wanna play.

The Way with the farm char IS fun for me, I always do this in Games, if possible. The Monk will be the "Luxus", but first I wanna play a good alround Char.

But in the time it takes you to get to 34, then accumulate enough port money to buy some HP rings, a decent weapon, a few stat items and maybe a haste item... your monk would be probably 40+ with probably enough to buy all of those things except perhaps the haste item. Then just a few more levels of grouping and a decent roll in a group, and there is your haste item.

If he does this in all games, gets an all around character to twink out a lower one... go big or go home. 34 druid for porting isn't going big.

You could do 60 druid for powerleveling, or 60 necro/enchanter for farming. But aiming so low as a 34 druid is useless since he could just group and acquire nearly as much (while leveling the character he cares about) in the same period of time.

I agree with you completely, just play the class you want to play, heck just selling CB/DF belts, spider silk, goblin ears, bone chips ect at low levels can get you enough plat to have a decently equiped character.

That's assuming you have to be a lvl 60 necro to farm... which you don't, not even close.

I hooked up my level 1 with cured silk, fbss, 2x trance sticks and two 55hp rings and I can shred yellows pretty effectively. Definitely fun, but I could only imagine if I had a Fungi. Have to start somewhere though!

Pretty sure you can make more money at 49 in Sol A wrecking shit on a necro than porting at 34 on a Druid.

Sheer grinding out money per hour the Necro wins hands down. Big money camps can work but are way too reliant on luck, availability of camp, and finding someone who won't try to lowball you on the price.

Much better just to blast music and send your pet on a murder rampage in Grobb.

How much platinum per hour do you make farming Grobb guards, exactly?

A good ENC can clear 50k a week easily in HS South, so they're clearly the answer to this question.

I've made around 70k in the last 16-18ish hours of farming, but I've also had shitty luck and had 10k weeks, so it's really luck dependent, but a good week on an ENC can only be matched by a SHM poopsocking Tranix or Hiero.
