talking to "players" on the carebear n00b blue/green pve servers where theres nothing to do because theres no pvp so you just sit in ec all day is infact the worst thing you can do.

To scratch that itch, I enjoy playing actual PvP games.

What did you do? You n00bs never created anything.

yeah, and he worked on pantheon which is also dogshit, i'm sensing a pattern.

>what did you do?
played the pvp game that actually mattered, when it mattered.

you act like every game dev on the planet hasn't sucked off Eve online at GDC for the last 20 years. literally fucking nobody talks about a shoehorned in nonsense ruleset some drug addicts made in 1999

hope this helps.

People are really bad at calculating plat per hour. I would wager Droga is much closer, or even better, in plat per hour to their preferred item farm once all time factors are considered.

Droga is solid. Made like 1000pp with an animation pet in like 2 hours when I was more getting my bearings around the zone than in full farm mode. In efficiency mode with better bags and not being kos to the outpost I could do a lot better. Melees and mage/necros probably make a killing there. Selling earrings/idols/skins probably net you a fair bit more too. You just gotta like that type of playstyle though.

Sol A is probably decent money too with the added benefit of 2 vendors in zone. Not sure how much the bricks sell for since the last patch though.

In the same vein CC orcs probably work too now since you have to vendor large bricks and blocks, with the added benefit of a neutral bank in zone. You could also sell small bricks and small pieces on the market but probably not worth it if you don't have buyers lined up.

Never did a real test but pretty sure lower guk undead basement is solid too if you can handle it.

The hill giants are garbage imo. In classic you had enough HGs to sustain 2-3 partial groups and people would go LFG there all the time. Now the spot barely sustains like 2 players. It's pretty much a dad camp now unless you can get it all for yourself.

Probably not the most lucrative spots compared to some cash camps but then again not everyone can handle HS south/east, SG or Seb solo even with the right classes, let's be honest. But the again if you're in chardok you can just kill your named and go AFK for 20 mins while the other spots I mentioned need active play.

OP chose ranger right?

Ranger is the right choice for this "chill and kill mobs for plat" over SK or even necro IMO.

If you want a necro to kill higher level things your ranger can't, by all means.

BUt if you're killing green mobs for items, ranger all the way.

Not only will you dispatch the mobs faster with the press of 1 button, which is important when chilling. You will be able to track multiple camps easily in the same zone. So that's nice.

Also lightning swords are awesome and so is a ranger just enjoying the cool norrathian breeze.

There are ways to make plat on just about any character. Of course some will be faster than others, and things like Paineel guards and HHK guards can often be contested, plus they don’t give exp, but there’s always a way.

I restarted fairly recently on the green server and had to build up from scratch. I am a 56 Ranger and when I need to farm enough for an item I just hit up HHK, farm guards for a bit and then buy whatever I’m after. I’m not rolling in plat, not wearing a fungi etc, but my gear is decent and I’ve managed to find the majority of things I want that are semi-affordable without much issue (Tolan’s bracer for 7k etc)

As others said, Droga can be really good, but it’s not as good on a Ranger without a Tolan’s BP because vendoring takes way too long, even with a hammer. There might be a way to sneak vendor in the outpost though I just haven’t really tried.

LoIO has a vendor which isn’t greedy.

I found forager cycle in Trakanon’s Teeth a good spot for ranger if you are happy to sell iksar hide mask, ceremonial iksar chestplate, etc. There are a few nice no drop items so maybe park a future alt there?

You may be able to do frenzied in velks too, but even at 60 I still sometimes die there.
