Items Just Not Worth The Time Spent Camping

[Gumbo]

I gotta say that I thought sitting around for six hours for a chance at an earring was a long time but after reading some of your stories - [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've never had any luck with items dropping like a Fungi Tunic but I have won smaller items with a random role in giveaways.

I have an aversion to EC and I play on dual monitor rig. I "waste" lots of time in EQ. It's how the game was meant to be won.

And I thought my ~125 hour camp for the Wyrm Lord Shawl was bad. Damn, Ginnas!

[Kaedain]

lord grimrot is kinda like the hadden camp OP had mentioned, a long respawn timer for potentially nothing, and even then the final reward nowadays is basically a collectors item

wow how did I miss this thread. There are so, so many items on this list.
But to summarize...

If the item you're camping to sell is worth 1000 plat and it takes you longer then 1 hour to obtain. It's not worth it. So if an item worth say 6k takes you longer than 6 hours,.. It's not worth it.
A popular example.. Jboots MQ ~6k,. if it takes you longer than 6 hours. You're wasting your time.

You can farm 1k+ plat per hour, outside of raids at several locations. And that's where I set the bar. The number of places you can farm between 300-600 plat per hour is common.

You're perfectly within range to start tasting some of these camps/ spots. Don't sweat it Classic EQ is about the journey not the sprint. It took me a while to catalog the camps I know now-a-days.. Though don't except people to feed you info.
If you're in a guild,. enjoy grouping with the people who learned later than sooner about these meta camps.

Farming 1K+ plat per hour? You talking about just coinage or is this coin/weapons/vendor junk?

I've never done this much before but I do solo a lot so sometimes it is slower...

one place to do it is highkeep, killing guards. You wont get nearly as much from ears. You can sell the swords the guards drop for 5p each to a merchant who banks to any race in zone.

Highkeep is nothing but a Necro and Monk convention of killing guards... You know it's a major killing zone when the merchant has over 3,000 fine steel swords to sell.
