Good place to farm?

[Maryk]

<p>I have a level level 31 monk/level 30 transmuter.  I refuse to drain the bank account dry just to raise my transmuting skill.   I'm looking for a place to farm for chests.  Totally solo.  </p><p> When I was level 20...the Bone Tower in DW was awesome.  Got a chest about every other fight.  </p><p> Any ideas?</p>

<p>With a level 30 transmuter, you're you're going to have to either buy something off the market to raise your skill up to get drops from mobs that would be green to you or mentor someone. For your level of monk, you're at the tipping point for Enchanted Lands/Zek in the old world and should still be able to get things out of Butcherblock too.</p><p> Edit:  If you want to level your transmuter, create a new toon on either Queen's Colony since you have a good character and can use the shared bank to load up loot for the transmuter.  Be sire tp level lock and just farm everything there.  Don't worry about quests or anything and just farm the lowbie mobs for things to feed your transmuter.  Once he's able to do things in the next tier, level that toon up to 10 or so and then level lock again and then farm Oakmyst Forest or one of the other Qeynos zones.  I'd stick with the old world becuse you can actually get things you can use for the new toon to get better armor/weapons, and you will have less people around to take mobs. Thats what I did recently to feed my transmuter, worked beautifully.</p>

<p>I did the lower areas quite a bit as you suggest but found that most drops simply were not transmutable.  </p><p>Wouldn't it be better to find an area...at my current level (31 monk)...to get drops more suited for my transmuter level 30?   You know...level 25-35 drops.</p>

You wouldn't be able to transmute them at that level. At level 30 transmuting, you're only going to be able to do treasured/legendary items up to about level 8 or so, maybe a level or 2 higher, but not much. You aren't going to be able to trnasmute level 20 loot till later on.

Ah sorry...I should have been more clear.  My transmuting level is 30 (150 skill points).

If you are low on cash and want to raise transmute skill:Create an Illusionist on newbie isle.  Farm the incoming goblins over and over.  EVERYTHING they drop is transmutable.  Illusionist at that level can kill the fastest with the least downtime, better than a summoner just because of cast times.  Just lock your level at 4.  In an hour you can probably have 3-4 bags worth of transmutable gear.Remember, grey adornment crafting can still provide skillups; sure they are less common but its still cheaper and faster than trying to farm level-appropriate zones just because later on it takes MUCH longer to kill a mob - and they drop a lot of loot which isn't transmutable.  However, if you really must craft level-appropriate adornments, I would just do the quests and transmute the rewards.agressiv

<p>You can farm in LOTRO.</p><p>It's the most boring of all TS classes, but crap, people love it.  People like doing real world jobs online. That's why EQ2 should enchance stuff like fishing and stuff.</p><p>Oh you mean for transmuting, I went for both chests and rares.  My army of Tradeskillers just make a bunch of mastercrafted and adept iiis to transmute.  Chest drops can be hit or miss at nights.  Remember that the Splitpaw instances scale to your level up to around 50 or so.  That's a decent place for farming for treasured stuff.</p>
