Best cash farming class with limited play time?

Druid for ports, better to do that than rely on guard camps being open.

Yeah I was originally thinking that Druid would be best for being able to port people for $$ semi-afk. However, I live in Asia and during the few hours that I'll be playing, the population is only around 300. So I imagine there will be less people paying for ports, as well as more camps open to grind coin at.

I thought maybe something like a Necro would overall make more money farming something like treants compared to Druid ports. But then again, I'm not so sure which is why I wanted some other opinions on it.

So far it seems like most people think Necro would be best.

One thing I am wondering though, since they can't root rot very well yet. How well would a Shaman work in my situation? They are apparently the kings of root rotting, right? Dont they have like the fastest TTK on single mobs? Or no?

Thanks!

Shaman are ok soloers in classic but they dont really come into their own until Kunark. They become root rotting machines once they get their epic and then gods once they get Torpor. Id rather play a necro, druid, on enchanter for soloing in classic though.

also necros are excellent root rotters if thats how you want to play, they just take a while to get regular root

Forget Mage or Necro. Research is a serious time and money sink.

Go Bard. You have multiple ways to solo, and you can buy all of your spells from vendors. You also won't be a liability when you join a group like Druid.

Unlike mage the necro can actually get its pets right now. There's many more players with high level research now and the spells are available. You will be able to earn the money to buy them or tip someone to combine words that you buy/farm.

It's not too bad until you need to buy your level 34 pet, which is selling for 500+ plat at the moment. God only knows what your level 49 pet is going to sell for when it hits the market.

I'd actually recommend doing the Research grind if you roll Necro because you're going to pay through the nose for those two pets if you don't. You might as well sink that money into Research.

Purchased my lvl 34 pet in EC for 250p the spell not pages. Saw two more sell for 300p so if anyone is paying 500p+ for the lvl 34 pet then they got bamboozled.

The lvl 39 pet is going for about 500p but lets be honest you can make that in 1hr as a Necro so not 100% sure why that's not a fair price.

These are based on Green market so Teal may be whole other beast.

That's probably not great advice. There are folks on the forums and in the discord doing research combines for free. Also a necro with an outdated pet is still a stronger soloer than most everyone else. I clearly remember missing some pets on blue and classic and it not being too big of a deal.

I mean, I seem to recall from my necro on blue that I couldn't send in a current-tier pet for a whole fight and/or buffed or else he'd steal exp anyway.

I completely forgot that the rank 39 and 44 pets are Research-only until Kunark. That's yet another reason to grind out Research if you roll Necro right now, which I wouldn't recommend if you want an easy ride to 50. Like I said in my original post, Bard is the class to play if you want to cruise to max level without any major impediments.
