Farming plat
 
I already tried to post this but it didnt seem to work. Sorry if this is a re-post

I have two questions.

Question 1) If you are higher level but you want to farm plat, can you farm low level camps? Like if I was level 40 could I camp sisters in lfay?

Question 2) If the first answer is no; then can I keep making a bunch of level 12's to camp sisters?

Technically you could; but that would be a dick move if someone is trying to exp there. Especially since that camp is perfect for brand new players trying to earn a little plat and exp.
A much better place to do that is a mid level dungeon like sol A. Those gobos drop way better loot and there are plenty of them in the zone to support people plat farming and exping.
What class are you? Best option for casual plat farming is by far seafuries in OOT. Going to need to be around level 50 though depending on class.

Yes you can but you wont win any popularity contest doing it

Absolutely, and this is very common on Project 1999. If you go to Droga the odds are high that the good item camps are all taken by people who can't even get any XP there. If you go to Seafury island you're going to see 60's killing even though they can't get XP there (for multiple reasons). Etc.

Absolutely, although that's a terrible example: when you're higher level there are much better ways to earn money. But if the sisters dropped gems like the Seafuries I can guarantee that low-level characters would rarely get a shot at the camp.

Well the answer was "yes", so this question is invalid, but just to elaborate the only time in the game where you would want to maintain low-level characters is if you plan to go after Vox or Nagafen. For everything else in the game (that I can think of at least), more levels = better.

If you're doing the sisters camp at level 60 then yeah, you'll generate some hate, but just because you're taking a low-level XP spot for no reason. For any legitimate plat camp though your level really doesn't matter: at Seafury island, Rathe hill giants, named goblins in Droga, Xalgox in Kaesora, Haden in Qeynos Hills, or at pretty much at any camp on the http://wiki.project1999.com/Treasure%20Hunting%20Guide I would be very surprised if someone was offended because you did it at a higher level than you're "supposed to."

The only place you cant do that as a higher lvl is in the warrens and stonebrunt (trival lewt code or whatever its called) there may be others but those are the ones I know of - although you still get faction

I'm sorry. I should have said that I would be kind about it and let noobs have first priority.

Are those in the game already, or did you just mean "someday when these are implemented"? (I've been gone awhile so I'm not sure how far in to Velious we are)

Muggens 03-07-2017 09:17 PM

they're ingame and have trivial loot code implemented

Nice, time for a nostalgic road trip ...

Definitely in, I forgot about it and killed the Mighty Bear Paw and he had no loot lol. Displays the emote about being trivial etc. Does anyone know the threshold? Do you just have to be able to get exp off of the mob?
