question for the true oldschoolers

[Ravager]

A friend of mine and I duoed sea furies like a month ago, we weren't there that long, maybe an hour and we made 1500 to split between the two of us. We were only messing around, trying it out, but a person who can solo those at a good clip could easily bank 1k per hour. The trick is getting there when there isn't a dozen other people there trying to do the same thing.

Otherwise, on my druid a year ago when I was farming plat, I did the hero bracers quest a bunch and was making around 1k an hour. With prices and pop the way it is now, that's probably not realistic any more though. As soon as pop comes back up, it may be something worth doing.

Pottery at one time making certain items, bowls maybe?, would sell more to vendors than cost to make. That loop eventually got closed up on live.

I still have a making plat smithing guide I downloaded years ago. One of the tricks was it had which worked when I downloaded it was you could make and sell sheet metal back to the vendors for more than it cost to make it if you made it from small bricks etc.

However, even on this server that trick doesn't work.

If you get seafuries to yourself it is still faster than nearly any camp out there, and more reliable.

Ever since the corrupted took over the island with bad code (when did you ever see more than one corrupted in Live?), and the bard mob that spams an instant mana drain (also a bug), seafury island has been producing much less platinum, one of the reasons on the short list of why platinum is skyrocketing in value.

Many more traditional one-item camps are now more lucrative and a lot less effort for a lot less danger.

If there was a way to make super plat easily, either:

1) No one is going to say and give away the keys to the crapper

or

2) Everyone would be doing it, mudflating the server back to the previous economy's balance with a few more zeros after the price, and it would be overcamped anyway by American plat farmers.

American plat farmers.

One of the signs foretold heralding the economic apocalypse.

I recall Batwing Crunchies, an easy thing to make with only a low level in the baking tradeskill, selling back to vendors for far more than they cost to make.
