Default Best way for me to get $$$

What are my best options to farm lots of plats as a 53 Nec? Are there any other options then grinding out seafurys, IG or HG? I remember Seb being a good place to farm for gems on live but is soloing even possible there for a 53 nec?

I really dont have the patience to buy/sell in EC, i fear i will only loose cash there in the long run [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I figure i wont spend any cash on alts untill i get my hands on a fungi but 65k seems far far away at the moment...

Edit: spelling

People tend to go for the "lump sum" payouts when making plat. That's good if you have ability and patience to do what's needed... compete for a camp, camp the random rare loot, then wait in ECtunnel to sell (or post it on the forums and hope someone bites). When you total the amount of time invested from start to finish though, you may be surprised by the "hourly payout" for that.

If that's not you... then another option is simply plat grinding on lower lv mobs. As just one example, Permafrost mobs drop up to 3p per kill and have a chance to drop ore 5p-50p per pop. I've done AE pulls on all mobs from just entrance to flag room, and end up with avg 100-150p. At your lv, I would expect that would probably take maybe 10 mins to clear those just letting your pet beat them down.

At conservatively 600p an hour... 125 hours = fungi. Probably quicker, but still.... It's something that you can do steadily, on your own time, here and there or grind a big session all day a few times to knock out a lot of the time investment.

Find an empty zone with mobs that drop some $ and fine steel or other well vendor selling items on a regular basis, and it will add up. They key is to be constant and steady in the kills, so you need enough spawns and reasonably decent loots.

It all depends on what you want to do.

I'm currently in a zone with mobs that drop up to 3p and some gems camping for a random really rare item. I've made almost 2x the costs of the item I'm camping for from the kill loot... still haven't seen the item I want drop. If it was the item only that was my goal, I'd just buy it at this point. Personally I enjoy the time sink of camping items for myself instead of buying them, in most situations.

Just another option...

The longer you can wait the cheaper they'll be, prices continue to drop.

Tunnel fat cats on suicide watch. Speculators wonder how much longer the market can cope?

definitely worth it to grind PP when items are selling so low this time of year. you could probably massacre hill giants during off-hours, and camp the granite bracer when waiting for repops, along with the other rares in rathe

Massacre Sarnak Legionnaires (and all other Sarnaks since I am not sure how the spawn cycle works there, they may all be PHs for Sarnak Leggionaires) in LOIO fort for Bracer of the Hidden? (6kish)

Upside of that camp is you can log your twink (if melee) out nearby and loot any Sarnak Earring of Station that might drop. Great for Monk, Rogue, Warrior twinks. Really any melee twink. And it isn't nearly as populated as Frenzy or Droga.

Get your Chardok faction up in Droga and learn to pull.

You can charge 2k per pull.
