So if you're only getting about 1k/hour or less doing seafuries, is camping some kind of expensive EC item (e.g. FBSS) more efficient, or are they rare enough that it's not worthwhile? Presumably if the economy is perfect then it's exactly as efficient since they would be worth the equivalent amount of time at seafuries.

Also, whoever added the tag "guardfredericksucks", I RESENT THAT.

Thought about that, but the item you are going for is rare enough that I think over all its better to just farm the cash from seafuries and buy it. I've heard of people camping Frenzy or Lord for 12+ hours without seeing any drops. Could easily farm enough in that same time period to buy either of them.

Thing with seafuries though as well is that even when its camped, you still pull decent money. What I stopped doing for a bit, then admittedly started back up again, is just being happy with what I made. I'd go back and sell and make 800p. I didn't say man, that sucks, that took 2 hours. I'd be like heck ya, thats 800p I didn't have before.

My previous toon, before Mage, was a warrior, and I didn't have any money, ever. Hovered from broke to 200p, before assuredly I'd need to pay for rezzes to try and re-coup some experience. So the amount of money I have now, is just insane compared to a new toon trying to start out with nothing.

From past experience (before the island was so over crowded) I would say that 1.5k an hour is way over average. On a good day you might make close to 1k but definitely nothing above that.

This was also as a bard with zero downtime. Sometimes, charm/kiting, sometimes not. You can get lucky at times with double gems but then you can also go like 8+ kills without a single gem or jewelry.

I don't think the people claiming these high averages are actually taking averages cause I know everyone goes through those no gem droughts but it never seems to be calculated into the average.

Exactly Chic.

I've had hot streaks, where I got on for just an hour or so, and I made 1200p. It was amazing, but that doesn't last. It doesn't average out to that or even close to that.

Buddy and I spent about 12 hours or more in OOT yesterday/last night camping Seafuries and AC. Came out with 2 rings and nearly 10k worth of plat from jewelry.

Figure 6k for the AC rings, and you guys did super well. One of you camp AC while other farmed?

I've had that same thought about the high value camps versus Seafury grinding, and I personally would take SF's over FG/Efreeti etc.

If I was with other guildies I'd surely take freeti over SF's. It's a much easier camp (but then again I play a Bard) and the value of the earnings is comparable. It's also just more fun.

I think Hill giants would be amazing if one could quad kite then, but 99% of the time you cant get 2, much less 4.

I would just like to say that that is the perfect last name for that character.
