Guards in various places, Oggok being my personal favorite.

I'm shooting myself in the foot here giving away a seemingly little-known honeyhole, but since I dinged 54 they're all light blue and not really worth it so much:
The front 8 guards in Grobb are pretty decent cash. They drop a 'Long Sword' and a large round shield every time, most drop Intestine Necklaces, and a little coin, from 5gp, to 2pp usually.

The Sword sells for just shy of 12pp,
The Shield vendors 1p 7gp
The necklace sells for just over 1pp.

All in all I'm getting about 15p per kill, 8 or 9 guards on a 16 (IIRC) minute timer.

If you're an enc (obv~) or necro, the vendors are apprehensive while in Lichform so I can make a round, sell my loot and then buy and resell gems and certain other items to change gold/silver/copper into plat when you get heavy.
The last time I was there I made 1500p in about 3.5 hours.

There's better out there, but it beats fighting for Seafuries.

You can't make money, obvious conclusion must be everyone is duping.

Funny post.

Ever thought about camping a Manastone, and selling it for 30k?

Wow, you just made 30k, now others can call you a duper and you can buy whatever you want.

Spectres ("scythes" sell for 14 plat or so), hill giants, and sola fine steel hoarding are all absurd sources of plat.

There are no money sinks in this game, so plat just keeps adding and adding and adding.

Only duping I have ran into is often when scribing a big set of new spells, immediately after zoning, one of the spells (the last?) I scribed would be in my inventory again. This happened at least 3 times to me. Couldn't find a particular way to reproduce it but really they're just spells so who cares...

As someone who duped heavily early on I regret it seeing as how fucked up the economy is now. I assume others have done it as well because it truely has gotten out of hand. I haven't duped in months but I still have a shitload of plat. I think the best way to deal with it is to wipe everyone's plat and start from scratch. It's the only way to fix it honestly.

Really there is duping here? That's so lame, maybe its not worth playing here after all.

Step 1: Create Anonymous account
Step 2: Create post to benefit your cause (ie: Everyone has more money than me)
Step 3: Prosper!


But seriously, duping might have been an issue, but it isn't a huge one that I'm aware off. I made all my platz legitly, and it is not hard... at all. The economy isn't fucking up because of duping, it's fucked up because of people like me that played waaaay to much.

I don't farm, I don't sell stuff for crazy prices (anyone that's bought from me knows stuff is usually dirt dirt cheap), I don't even really group that much. Just gave Karsten 7k to pay off some debt, and I think I still have over 15k kicking around in the bank. Nothing compared to some people. But active farmers should be ROLLING in the dough.

The people are talking out their ass or they would have provided proof by now.

I've duped at least 500 Batwing Crunchies. They're delicious!
