High levels farming low areas?

[Veranish]

I definitely agree with valuable loot ideals. I want to camp the goblin ring and such probably past when I'm the level high enough to do it finally.
It just didn't seem like belts fell into that, when you're more than three times the level of it, there is more valuable stuff to get and its not a class/equipment quest (Unless you have really hit rock bottom as a high level for tattered stuff haha), but I guess belts are considered major income even past the 30's?

Sorry, I'm still pretty new (I joined a while back but didn't end up playing much till now). Just trying to feel out how people do camps and things now. I probably just won't quest in crushbone unless it's off-peak hours then, I can't really compete with high levels yet.

Does anyone know if there are other zones like that around level 9 that are usually camped by high levels? I was thinking of going to Nro, and possibly befallen when I can, but thats real close to EC so people may be there a ton.

Lets say they were all lvl 5 mobs but one of them dropped an item worth 20k once in a blue moon - that camp shouldnt be available for ppl lvl 10+? I actually think they added a zone that kinda worked like that - so after a certain level mobs wouldnt drop items for you anymore...

On the FV server, where there was a one character limit, green mobs did not drop any loot. IIRC

It's pretty much just the zones that drop quest items that give xp. Easy way to get your alt through those early few levels. So CB is one, and someone may occasionally camp the orcs in EC. Gnoll fangs and bandit sashes are no drop, so they can't be farmed quite like the belts.

Befallen is very quiet usually - bring your own group sort of place. Probably because of the danger - you get killed behind a locked door, CR is a pain. And the dervs in Nro/WC are a decent camp, which are not that highly contested for some reason - at least, depending on the time of the day. And those derv rings can be turned to the orc in Sro for exp as well, right - never did that, so not sure how beneficial that is.

trivial loot sytem. It was in the Warrens at launch, but got removed eventually. It was also on the entire firiona vie 'role playing preferred' server.

OMG! I remember this. I hope the Staff here doesn't do that.

I mean, the warrens was a great place for low levels but I remember high levels being there to farm for their alts.

Thanks for the responses on this page folks, I appreciate the good advice!

Not BDA, at least I don't think so. I'm not familiar with what that means, I'll probs look it up here in a sec : P

Edit: Oh, Bregan D'Aerth . Nope I'm not in their guild.

My guild on live was ... I was in one called something Lightfighters? and something about wolves.
It's been like twelve years I really don't remember haha.

That Dwarf in that screenshot looked BDA to me. CALL IN THE RnF SQUAD!

JK.

My take on this is that which is already posted here. However next time you come across this, which will probably happen again, just ask the person if you can kill everything there for xp and give him/her the items they are after.

A while back I was in CB, and a level 40 was in zone killing everything he could for belts and shoulder pads. I asked him if I could just give him all the belts and pads I had if he would let us get xp.

His response: Np man, want me to pull them to you single?

Most people are really nice and if they get what they are after then in most cases they will hook you up.

For the most part P99 players are great people and are willing to assist you!
