Sorry I'm late to the party; I've been up in Alaska on a cruise and just got back.
Baler's half-right: while I never made a formal guide, I did camp the hell out of that Ferocious Shark for quite awhile and take notes in a spreadsheet for about 300-odd kills. I think I might have posted my results in the forum at some point (thus the "guide" Baler referred to), but rather than put the whole spreadsheet on the wiki I just summarized my findings: Quote:

So while it took me a very long time to get those chests, because I was able to do it while working all it really cost me was a few more minutes of work at the end of the day (or a few less minutes of goofing off on the forums) to get 6 "free" tink bags. Good deal in my book. As for which camp is worse, it's really apples and oranges since the chest takes longer but the courier requires more active playtime. In a way I think the courier is worse because it has lower odds and thus more variability. Personally I've never gone even 150 sharks in a row without getting a chest, whereas with the Courier it's a complete crapshoot: you can luck out early, but usually you sit there for hours and hours knowing you might still have to sit for hours and hours.

it's not at all the fastest way to make plat in a normal time sense, but it's not bad as an "AFK" camp.

I don't know how long I put in over one weekend, but I was camping him recently and I'm up to 42 courier spawns with no drop.
It's like.. idk. 15 hours of constant killing. I think it's a 22 second respawn, so one mob every 10 seconds or so. And god help you if you get drowsy or distracted for a moment and miss the spawn. The mob patrols instantly upon spawning and there's dozens of other mobs roaming around in the same area. | ||

This all pales in comparison to waiting on Verina Tomb to spawn (perspective)

Never had a problem with courier. Had an epic mage and once I found PHs I just used my keyboard to automate and my pet kept the PHs down while I jerked off or did something else.

Like i said, I did it for something like 15 hours on a Saturday while keeping a count up in OOC channel of Courier spawns with no ring and I got to 42 before I gave up for the day. RNG can hurt. | |||
