While it’s not likely to die while farming green cons, it is possible. Droga and Crystal Caverns are certainly not Permafrost…but it sucks to get a rez if you need one.

IMHO, I’d be AE’ing fairly close to a zone wall. The epic rune wont last forever and some of those greens will hit fairly hard.

For sure, I found even when camping the goblin earring that, if two pit fighter dob's or something spawned, kinda had to handle it in two packs those guys ripped through the shield if they got a few stunning bashes off.

Droga prolly a bad idea, like half the mobs in there harm touch so its not really a zone you can AOE unless you're doing it in a team (Green server recently did a droga farm event that turned into an aoe party and it was a lot of fun).

Suits in WL is popular for wizards. 4 mob quads on a 14.5min respawn timer. Made $10k in a couple of days just on the raw plat and vendor gems/armor. Also nets you a bunch of velious armor gems that you can sell or hoard for yourself.

Another idea is Everfrost/Permafrost. You can quad (triple really, since it's a three-spawn) the ice giants if you can catch all three spawns open. You'll want a couple of tink bags to hold the FS weapons between runs to the Barb vendor at the ruined temple. You'll also probably have to bind in EF and port out to bank unless you have Halas faction, because you'll get weighed down quickly by all the gold. Ice giant toes can be sold for 40-50pp a pop for Wort pots. This is a solid cash camp but you'll have to play off-peak to find all three spawns open.

If the ice giants are taken you can try farming ore in Perma. Go deep inside and Fetter a few different goblins at the end of several corridors, then run/gate to entrance and sit. Wait until root breaks and you should have a massive train headed your way that you can AOE down. You will definitely need a couple of tinks bags for this as well because the ore is super heavy.

These camps are both technically viable on a Wiz, but even if you can make them work you'll quickly wish you were playing a Mage instead. For max pp/hr and lowest APM, I think a Wiz is best off either rotating between WC/EC and OT and selling TLs, camping AC and selling JBoot MQs, or learning how to efficiently camp Gob Skull Earring in Warslik's.

Good suggestion, I'm going to give the gob skull earring another shot maybe tonight, it just felt pretty bad blowing up that fort every ~7 minutes or so, seeing 16 spawns of the guy, and getting zero earrings after 4 hours.

In comparison I just hung out at my little iksar exile camp, absolutely zero competition, zero mobs path through there, zero risk of dying, super consistently 180p/hr. Only real issue is bag space as they drop a lot of weapons that all go for about 2.5-3p/ea and you fill up on them very quickly. Only have one box of abukar and evil eye bag though, works decently enough.

Gambler's fallacy is telling me should I spend another night doing the fort and see if I can get a couple earrings to offset my time wasted there.

I might also try the geo's in CC tonight, I walked there and didn't quite read what the map was saying so walked through the one-way exit and got bummed. Was just exploring to see how many spawned there.

180pp/hr feels really low, even for a chill camp, when you could just hang out in OT/EC semi-afk and be getting regular 50-100pp tips for TLs.

Yeah, one day you'll get nothing in four hours, another day you'll get four earrings in an hour. The EQ RNG giveth, and she taketh away.
