51 Monk Solo Cash/Exp Balance

[Mzy12345]

Hello,

I've looked at a few leveling guides and know there are quite a few places I could go solo at 51 as a monk for exp but I need about 7k to finish off my robe and buy an OT hammer so I'm looking for a spot with exp and drops/pp. Does anyone have any decent spots that will produce serviceable exp and pp?

My bag space is a bit limited with a Large Soiled and 1 Tink Bag so I can't carry a ton of loot if I'm not near a vendor or if the spot I need to go to requires me to load up on bandages and shurikens.

I've been putting in some time at Cav/Sage/Exe in LGuk which has been enjoyable but a lot of greens now. I've done Troll guards as well and they are ok but would like something new.

I've heard some people mention Neriak Guards were decent but after searching I couldn't find much info on them. I've also heard the Hole entrance might be good with Loam drops and Gems but if the named spawns I don't think I would be able to kill it?

Outside of Fungi gear isn't great. IFS, SCHWs, and a bunch of junk. Finally, my play time is usually only an hour or two at a time so if a spot is camped I usually don't have enough time to travel very far to try something else.

I know those are some restrictive parameters so if anyone has any feedback or suggestions I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

You are getting high enough level that you may make more money over time camping an item drop camp (like hands in KC) than you will get per hour solo farming. If you could find a 50ish shaman/cleric/druid might work you could camp ice giants in permafrost, good money there.

Highkeep nobles...good til you ding 54 - 6 minute respawn. Will trash your W/E Freeport guard faction if you're human.

Add as many guards as you can find (certain floors might be camped) and vendor right in the nobles room with sneak [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]


EDIT: Just to add, do a "/who all highkeep" before you go and see if there's anyone in the 50s there, ask them if they're doing nobles. Also, if you like your anon/role tag, be a pal and keep that off for your time there. You'll save some people the trip over and possibly keep camp lawyers who just chanced it from wanting to oust you (sad but it can happen).

For xp? I want to say bloodgills in LOIO, but I don't know if they have loot of mention.

For just money, Slow easy and comfortable farming with vendor and bandages nearby? SolA. You can buy and sell to the goblin vendor near king spawn. Fill up begs, sell off. To conserve space, can buy/sell gems back to him to consolidate gp/sp/cp. Blocks of ore can go up to 50p, tons of Fine steel, words/runes, stackable poison ingredients. Can even run back to neriak to do some banking and head right back. Just pick an area where noobies aren't at and have at it.

Thank you all for the replies. I do agree that grouping in places like KC could yield some decent returns but with only an hour or two at a time to play if I don't get a group right away I feel like I end up leaving right as I settle in.

Also, are the HHK Nobles pretty much perma camped? My concern with a place like that or with Bloodgills for that matter is that they are the only show in town. If I log in and either of those are camped do I have any other options around those areas?

at 51 yea, start and form groups at the kc pipe area until you get a pipe (or 2) and then do the same until you get a pipe (or 2) from... oh wait are pipes from that AOE place just a dime a dozen?

I forget the rules on your ridiculous pay to win blue server.

red 99 > blue pay to win

Mid 50s Seafury Island was pretty cool on my ranger, especially after I got my 10 regen spell to use with fungi. I did those 55-58, with the last very slow level being all greens and light blues (when they existed). I made 30k that trip with creative vendoring.

Trying remember my level progression...

I know I did Bloodgills till 52. I think.. did 53 and maybe 54 on the 3 barbarian guards near the tundra in Everfrost. Then I moved to nobles, as Swish suggested, and then to seafuries.

Should make some decent coin if you follow that route. Bloodgills are dirt money, but the easiest kills (low hp) you'll find for that level.

Also, if you do seafuries, make sure to bring lots and lots of javelins and be ready for some salty people.
It's the closest thing to PvP / real competition we have on this server.

Somewhere on my desk is a map with almost 90% of the cyclopse spawns and path's so you can time respawns based on when you kill a cyclopse.. but id rather not even see the map and forget I ever was that immersed.

Can I get that, hon?
