I've played on both Red and Blue. The economy is definitely NOT the same. Most items sell for a lot more on Red, but I have found that some (few) items on Red are selling for half of what they go for on Blue.

So you just have to really watch your items. The convenient thing about Red is you are not in anyway fighting for mobs or plat camps at the lower levels. I have found many times that I am all by myself in WK, NK or even zones like Befallen and Unrest. So it's easier to make money on Red, but items are more expensive if you are planning to purchase instead of camp for them.

If you still think you're right, then you're too stupid to converse with....

You're wrong because people post for static groups in the Starting Zone section.

And dumb...

Look, I promise you that I would have been banned for saying Red so many times if this was a bluebie safe space. It's not.

If you're correct there is no "bluebie safe space" anywhere, because there are no Blue forums (only Red and Blue/Red).

But believe what you want to believe, I'm done with this. Just keep the crap talk out of the starting zone whatever you believe: it's supposed to be welcoming for the new folks.

Sad that an otherwise great thread got completely derailed.

The question of how to make plat comes up occasionally so I'm just sharing what are some of the common money making things you can farm without RNG screwing with you and tons of other people trying to beat you in a static camp (which requires you to be of a certain level as well).

The info here kind of covers what you can get in some common levelling areas which are valuable to mainly other players.

Feel free to add more!

To start saving up plat (can do as long as you are not level 1)
A stack of bone chips - 10pp
A stack of spider silk - 10pp
A stack of spiderling silk - 10 to 20pp
Low and medium quality Wolf/Cat/Bear skins - 2-5pp each (these kind of suck as they are heavy and doesnt stack. See below for better idea)
High quality bear skins - 30pp each

What to do with skins:
The better idea is to buy a sewing kit and make leather paddings to sell to players. One stack now is 100-200p.
You should try to get a skinning knife to make your life easier. It allows you to convert high into med into low quality skins in your sewing kit.

When you are around level 12:
Greater light stones from wisps can sell to players for 10pp

Another alternative (which really needs some luck as the camp is VERY popular);
The nybright sisters camp in Lesser Faydark (#14 on the map).
There are basically 4 mobs here that drop bronze weapons. They sell very well to npc vendors. If you are not killed on sight to the woodelfs there is an npc hut (#10 on map) that you can sell at. If not you can run to the druid rings (#6 on map) in Steamfont Mountains to sell.

When you are 16 or higher, i suggest you make a trip to Najena in Lavastorm.

Kill the elementals in there and look for the following drops which sells well to players (and you can get exp as well):
Earth Elemental - Drop of mercury (~30p)
Fire Elemental - Lava Rock (30 - 50p)
Mist Elemental - Swirling Mist (30-50p)

If you kill the magicians, they have a chance to drop the mage focus items which you can sell or 100-200p each

You can stay in Najena till the mid 20s if you like. If you are bored or when you think the exp is getting slow, head to Mistmoore Castle.

Just look for groups and join them. When you first start, the best money comes from the Gargoyles which drop Gargoyle eyes that stack and sell very well to npcs.

As you start moving up into the deeper part of the zone (namely the castle area), mobs starts to drop Essence of Moonlight.

There are smiths out there who pay 50-80pp for each essence.

By this time you should be all set.

The above is my suggestion for anyone who don't mind sticking to just a few zones to level while they make money. And since the items drops off common mobs, you dont have to worry about people camping them all the time.
Awesome write up.
Additionally; in mid20s+, HQ brute hides sell decently (approx 50plat per)
Some people go to S.Karana for those gnoll papers too.

Someone told me about this guide on the wiki and I think it's very cool.

It has cash camps (vendor junk) and sell-able stuff camps in the list. While some of the pricing is a outdated (e.g. FBSS is now about 4k instead of 8-9k), it's still a good list!

A basic understanding of the English language is required to debate. Sorry you can't grasp that.
