On the fair chance that I'm never able to get a geode camp going though, depending on how often it's camped, is there a player market for velium ore? Wanted to do CC more for the money than the experience, and was hoping to make some good bank there to start saving up for MQ's and more expensive gear.

I mention that for two reasons. One, if you're "hoping to make some good bank" that page has a wealth of suggestions on places to do so. And two ... you'll notice Crystal Caverns isn't on the list.

Velium ore is super useful to shawl questers and some other tradeskillers, and personally I love the zone, but because of the ore's weight and relative low value there's not a huge player market for it. I think most people just go get their own if they need it.

I'm not saying it won't sell in EC, but I certainly wouldn't expect it to sell well/quickly.

If CC isn't on the list, then geodes must not be good money on P99, must not drop a lot of chipped diamonds.

Big thanks for the list though. High Keep is good money now just because of the ears and fine steel swords, but after that is a mystery to me. That will help.

I would say its comparable or better than the money you would make killing gnolls in South Karana for fine steal weapons, which is another entry on the list.

Geos are good money and should 100% be on the list. I averaged between 600 and 1k per hour there

Not bad at all. Are they all vendor gems or are some velious quest gems? I haven't camped geos since I played on live.

As an FYI, I am looking for mass amounts of velium ore. If you do end up farming it, please sell it to me. No quantity limitations.

I can be your market [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You got it.

When Guards at HHK stop being worthwhile to grind (I'm assuming around 40 or so), I'll probably give CC a try. I want to be bound close to Kael anyway so I can try and grind some of my Thurg armor.

And also, to be clear, I wasn't trying to imply that if a zone isn't on the treasure guide you can't make money there. Obviously the guide isn't perfect and is missing lots of good places to make plat, and it's very possible there are one or more such places in Crystal Caverns.

I was just trying to say (and I still maintain) that there's not a huge player market for Velium ore (if there were, CC would likely be on that page already). But since you seem to have found a buyer perhaps, at least for you, velium farming can be a good source of income [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Velium farming would be a side thing. It all depends on how often Geodes are camped and long the wait usually is to get it.
