For me the short answer is that money equals gear that I can't acquire any other way.

Also, like most things in EQ, it is addicting...I've never lost the adrenaline rush of clicking on a named corpse (or even a trash mob with a 1/1000 chance to drop a rare item) to check its loot.

I am guessing that it is the same pattern of neurons that fire when a gambling addict pulls the lever on a slot machine.

Depending on your perspective this is either super unhealthy or a weird way of entertaining yourself.

Its bad to share knowledge because you just create competition, so most wont tell you jack. Really you just need the initial fund 5k-10k, to get to a place where you can buy expensive items in EC tunnel. Buy low and sell high an be very patient, thats it. Getting the initial funding usually need to find those perfect easy solo named camp items you can turn an sell quickly in the EC tunnel. Farming plat off mobs should only be till 30th level or so, then you need to dig deep into the wiki's (Guk, Splitpaw, Mistmoore, quest items) to find good named camp magic item drops to sell to others, that's how you get rich. Of course you better be playing a class that can solo, usually int caster, that's why you always start with int caster to gear the rest of your alts an make cash. They are cheap to play, other than buying an researching spells, you can play them naked an still be an effective solo'er. For instance a 30th level int caster can solo camp the Ancient Croc in upper guk naked, great exp for that level and that drops wis legs worth 1-2k or int arms worth 200-400pp, non lore so you can stock up with multiple of each item. But sometimes you can stay 4-6 hours an get 0 drops, or you could get 5 drops, this server drop rate is VERY sketchy at times. So 6 hours you could potentially get 3-5k worth of items, there is no plat farming that could match that. Very easy to make an alt int caster w/ pet, each has their own wheel house on effective soloing, chanter, necro, or mage. Of course the higher level the int caster the more you can make because you can camp better items that sell for more money, like a 50th level necro in Lguk. When you loot your 1st FBSS or get 7k-10k, then you market FBSS, you get 100k market fungi tunics, 200k+ then you can market manastones. Based on your current cash you adjust to that level of item to buy/sell, always shooting for the highest level items as those will sell the fastest. I've probably made 50k so far on green, mostly tied up in items now. I farmed plat till 12-15k, then it was all item camps after that. Very few players on green have 100k+ right now due to how new the server still is.

PUGs at cash camps is the easiest way to do it while having the most fun. The trick is sell it and don't spend it. This game can be beat with a cracked staff. No reason to sink your loot into undroppable garbage you can just quest for yourself anyway. Twinking an alt? A pair of 5/55 rings and a 100p weapon will get you to level 50. After level 50 your alt is capable enough to loot the upgrades and make you richer. Play the game and don't worry about 500k and you'll have more than you care to spend.

Plenty of people RMT considering people get banned for it all the time. Wouldn’t be surprised if some people have been getting away with it for years by being smart.

Farm with just 1 or 2 characters, or play the EC game... if you have as many characters as me your going to be broke forever
