Hi guys,

Old school EQ player here, had a 60 bard on Sullon Zek. Playing on the non-pvp server and looking for a first class that will make me money for my future alts. I know people say Druids are good for ports, but exactly how much money do they actually make from ports. My playtime is at 8pm to midnight pacific time zone. Will there be enough activity in porting at that time to make a decent pile of money? I only solo so I was looking at Druid or Necro as a plat farmer. Thanks for any answers.

You're pretty much on the right route. Druid or Necro are both cheap on the start-up (read: 0 plat required) and will make plenty of cash leveling up.

Porting will probably net you 20-50p per port/person, 100p per EJ evac. Very easy and will outpace Necro farming until mid 40s. Once fine steel and better vendor trash start dropping for the Necro, you'll soon be amassing a small fortune.

The only caveat is farming specific named drops, where Enchanter and Shaman outpace Druid in particular. Enchanter is nice because they can be geared on the cheap, while Shaman "require" ~150-200k to really shine.
