making cash 60+...

[schmee]

alright, sure this has come up in the past, but now that i'm 60+ i know i've got to start saving up for all the plat i'm gonna need getting me masters. i'm in a small guild that tries to raid, but we're lucky to get a decent raid in a week (we work with other small guilds too), and i'm still too young to see much action in them anyway. i think it would be awesome if you senior types would list some of your favorite ways to make cashin the post 60 game outside of raiding regularly. are there any mobs that tend to drop nice cash or items that sell? are there mobs that can be killed quickly to amplify this? any repeatable quests that pay well? for those of us who don't know much about the post-60 game, this would be reeeeally useful information. i'm lucky to come away from a night in a pick up with a plat of treasure, which means it will be many weeks before i see enough plat to even think about a 60+ master. so please share any good spots/quests for soloing for cash, or even tips on where best to group for cash. i know your adoring sub-70 coercer community will thank you immensely. hell, tips for the sub-60s would be good too. <div></div>

<P>Good advice Mugn, I usually will go out and kill everything on Cacotoxic if I need quick cash, and then sell t7 harvested rares for when I don't mind waiting for the broker turnaround.</P> <P>Also, some harvested "?" and "!" sell pretty good, FYI.</P> <P>"Thus, you're look at leaving a raid, on a good night, with an item or two, some debt, and a 15g repair bill (some guilds do pay repair bills from raids but I believe the majority don't)."</P> <P>Oh man, will be closer to 25-30g when most of your gear is fabled....but thats a helluva lot better than what it used to be (80g a raid for me, and I wasn't even fully fabled then!)</P> <P>Cyene</P>

Harvest in bonemire sucks - do it in Barren Sky grab Orthalian sentry pet and go collect shinies ... Medium XXX collectable [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] sells for crap load money

[Kas]

Master charmed corpse candle + killing ravasects on Isle of Ravasect = decent money.  Especially if you kill the Acrid Mother every time she's up, that's 11gold everytime you get a drop from her.<div></div>

[Tanatus]

<P>What a waste .... </P> <P>If you can charm copse flame/candle that mean you should farm next mobs: Caronovigan, Mandragora (both on Carrion island), Harrigan Huminator (sp) (ravasect island), Tyrant, Hierodudle (Crash site), Ancient Abomination (Halls of Fate) - take about 30 min to do full run - usually at least 1 named is up. Best yeild of masters comes from Carnovigan and Ancient Abomination. Common drops sells for like 8-11gp, rare drops for around 20-28gp, masters ... well depend what you got <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

<DIV>At lvl. 60 you should be able to cruise the T6 harvesting areas either fast or very fast. You're looking for roots, and you can get plenty of money for them. To speed up the process, you'll want to get familiar with an area (Onerock Isle is pretty easy to tour) and clear it of all nodes - then go around again (after node replot) and grab roots and indium (from the ore nodes). If you wish to stay longer, clear cut it and take another pass through once it's replotted.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Keep a balance of them in your vendor crate, and make sure you're the low guy on your server, and the money will pour in daily. The most difficult thing about crafting these days is getting T6 raw materials - take advantage of it by staking out a daily harvest route.</DIV>

<DIV>Any masters sells for more then 1pp that's given .....</DIV> <DIV>Carnovigan if he up along minimum 20gp (of course if Acrid Mother is up I kill bug as well - 11-23gp depend on drop). Humiator good - because he almost always up very few ppl on Nektulos actually bother have deal with annoying ravasect. Mandragora actually spawnable but ... tree and ghost usually heavy camped by bot-farmers (druid+wizard). Ancient abomination - well its not long run per say ... just drop down from cloud <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. Most time to kill take Hierodudle because of social nature of bugs you have to clean all [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] around, Tyrant is fast. At occasion you can nail named spider in near by cave. I guess what I am trying to say in worst case scenario you still get your 1pp/30min rate but good chance to get jackpot with masters</DIV>

[Roriondesexiest]

I like doing the ravasects and ? around mainly because it is pain free.  Going after the nameds is nice but takes a bit more time.  I do kill the spider every time she is up and I am doing writs but  best you can get from here are the pants, never gotten anything else from her. And yeah raiding isn't the way to go to make money, I have to go out and farm or group to recoup my raiding costs every so often. <div></div>

Did I read that they made Gylton uncharmable?<div></div>

<DIV>It still kinda infamous joke of [Removed for Content] off coercers after finished SOS part of QC ... charm Gython and bring it to entrance then zone out .....</DIV>
