Id bet a necro is a good way to go for plat, Im not sure there really is any better way to make plat pre kunark, beyond actually relentlessly farming plat. I suppose if you were spitting out mithral 2h swords like a factory that could net you some money.

GBS is a good farm for classic to make monies but I still think just rolling a necro and farming hill giants for the most part is the best way to go? Anyone disagree? Im just guessing.

When Charasis first dropped on Blue there was a (GM Enforced IIRC) line in LOIO to kill the Dizok guy for the spear to get your key.
Kind of like people lining up to kill cyclops for jboots in oot.

That was a solo mob, not a camp, but I wonder if they might do something like that for the perma locked down camps in Guk.
Who knows. I'm going Gnome Rogue (main on P99 is Barb Rogue). I'm expecting it to suck till Kunark. But it should be fun at the same time.

This was definitely how we did Jboots in Njina on my server on live. Only it was player organized as far as I knew. It took me exactly 25 hours from start to finish to get my boots and it was the first time I had ever done anything like that. And here I am all these years later doing it like a million times again.

Stupid ass creatures, humans are.

necros maybe decent because you have half of lguk available for charming so you can do fbss / smr / yak camps pretty easy and can basically semi afk farm some lower lvl stuff. The obvious answer is enchanter is best for moneymaking. No other classic class will be able to solo efreeti outside ench. Enchanter can:
solo efreeti
solo both live and dead sides guk (fbss, yak, smr, crown of frog kings, plat tiara)
can do seafuries efficiently (if they arent nerfed)
can duo/trio tranix
can also easily keep guise / manastone camps locked up

so yeah - lguk and sol b will yield the most items that will sell

server might be packed and if thats so I don't see necro's/ench holding down big ticket camps solo when there would be 10 people lfg for groups down there.

also if you see this happening, train them and have your group take their camp. sounds like gods work to me.

per p99 rules intentional training is ban worthy. if you think there wont be solo or duo ench/caster teams locking down whole high end cash camps ur in for a reality check. not sayings its right - on the tlp servers they allow training and dps racing - u can make up ur mind which is better. also thats one advantage of necro - u can just fd from trains

I think the server would <Riot> if you had enchanters and necros holding down some of the only high level exp camps (in vanilla) solo. People are going to be upset enough with groups living in camps for days without leaving, I can't even imagine if a single player tried to hold one.

I wonder if the lack of magical items on a new server would make enchanting jewelry while leveling a viable money maker
