For all the new players on p99... some quick tips to make a buck or two

[Aerar]

DrKvothe, wow, way to not contribute even slightly to this thread.

First and foremost, EC is not that much competition and this is an MMO people generally like seeing other people (especially if they want to group).

If the person is just starting out, making their way to FP and then EC then WC then Oasis is not a bad route. There are always buffs to be had at EC tunnel (you make it sound hard to get these but all you have to do is ask). Qeynos does not have nearly the player support to Buff that EC does.

The major plus of EC WC Oasis is that it is sufficient leveling speed coupled with the kindness of others making it the absolute BEST place to start out.

Yes if you played before places like Steamfont and Misty can be better for leveling heck Field of Bone to me is the best leveling 1-10 in the game. BUT that doesnt account for the ability to market your wares get buffs and get the generosity of others.

While you may farm a few more plat elsewhere, where else are you going to have the random (as the poster above said , ivy etched armor gifted to you)

If you just want to bash a dudes advice that he is giving go make your own advice thread.

^ Like a boss.

Lets try can keep the tone helpful in this thread. Unless I or somebody else says something that is just blatantly wrong, do everybody a favor and keep it to yourself. Do feel free to add helpful tidbits though or expand on other points that have already been made, such as the GLS turn-in part.

Belts and shoulderpads in CB are what people are pointing me to here. So I'm holding on to those while I hunt in CB.

Jingleson, I hang onto those while exping in CB (although Im a necro and cant turn em in) and every so often a big boss lvl 60 type comes in and pays hansomly so they can speed level an alt. I think I made like 5pp per belt last night, when going rate is like 2pp a belt.

In any case - I have learned DO NOT AUCTION THEM, wait until someone comes asking to buy them you will make more

Some other helpful things you can do for cash at low levels:

- Dervish Cutthroats drop bronze and are great around the FP area.
- Nybright sisters and Bandits (to a lesser extent) in lfay for bronze as well.
- Minotaurs in Steamfont have sweet gem drops (opal, peridot etc...).
- Wisps in WC (though there are more in NK and even more on the island in Eruds Crossing).

Or, just create a female woodelf and cyber with lonely high levels for sweet dough. Don't forget to deck her out in leather and use smileys [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] for full immersion.

Best idea ever.

Seriously though, how heavily farmed is wisp isle? I would think its nicely farmed these days but who knows.

It's not.

I just did my test of patience on the island and the only people I saw were:

- Shamans also doing their test of patience.
- People passing through on the boat.
- Paladins questing for Ro armor.

No one camping wisps or other Kerra critters.

I forgot to add as well - bandits in WK should now be a fairly desireable NPC since their loot table now has bronze AND they drop those sweet sashes that can be turned in for even more bronze.

Good stuff, Yumyums! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Imho Qeynos is a better area for everything except begging buffs and selling stuff. Fang quest in BB is insane exp. Lots of animals for pelts and tons of skellies. Grind on all you can find around qeynos, save it up, and then get a port or walk over to EC. Sell stuffs. Gate/ranger gate back to qey. Hunt up some gnoll pup scalps, they sell pretty well occasionally for some monk quest or other.

The lightstones you can make 9pp off of each in NK at the gypsies. WK bandits drop exp sashes and bronze and you get a bronze weap each sash turnin. Good cash.
