Plat in thf. Tips?

Post#1 » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:34 pm

I've been here for about a month now. I've made myself 5 70s, gotten an sk donor, a few 1.5s, farmed stillmoon until some cows literally started mooing, flagged fenin, gotten quite a few augs from air, yet I've only managed to find two of the ST key dragons up, so my gear progression is at a standstill. In order to move on I've learned I more or less need to start buying some xegony tokens, and for that I need plat. Lots of it.

Where should I go? Seb is too full and doesn't have enough mobs for my sk to clear by himself, fungus grove is really the best I've found so far, but I'm wondering if there aren't other options. I hear that world bosses are fairly well locked down, and even if they weren't my chances of killing them are sort of slim. Ldon slaughters seem to be worth maybe 1-1.5k a run and go by pretty quickly, but the amount of time I spend zoning into them seems to be about twice what it takes to actually run the ldon, so I get fairly bored of them.

I'm looking for some novel suggestions, or at least a variety of farming tips. I'll be at it for 200k+, so I'll certainly have time to try every suggestion you have!

tl;dr I'm new here and I need lots of plat in order to get tokens to flag my toons for 2.0s, etc, please give me tons of examples for places to farm plat so I can have some variety for the next 200k+ I need to get.

Ldons offer good gem drops and such now and are great placed to AA farm as well.

Sol B has the same money drops as seb. Kill the fire giants for a better chance of stone of sturdiness augs too. You'll run out fire giants before respawn so kill the rest of the zone too.

Some people say the castle in velks(use non custom zone teleporter) is good.

Ldons are good. I think the everfrost normals have a better gem drop rate compared to the other normals. Check the alla clone though. If you have some badass air weapons or well, your donor, you should roll through the normals. If you have enough AC and lifetap procs you should be able to solo these with just a bot. You can keep your other toons in the hidden vale while you do the ldon on your main and they will get the ldon points from the mission. They do miss out on the aa xp though. I hate the zoning too but there's little chance of that changing.

I think it might come down to some people not wanting to post every zone or secret they have discovered for making plat because if they do, and need it themselves, it will become unavailable.

So without posting every zone discovered, custom or non custom, Ill give you a hint to help you figure it out yourself. There are plenty of trash loot items including gems that sell for decent pp to vendors. Pick one, and use the ala clone to find out where they have a high % drop rate. Go farming and youll get your plat fast enough.

I'll toss in my vote for LDoN here. A T2 zerker/SK pair are plenty to clear the place in 10-15 minutes, depending on laziness, and you're well past that point in progression. Just clearing to the mob count in slaughter mode will net ~8-14 gems normally, maybe a few more with some luck. Leftover time on the clock can be used to clear more stuff for extra drops, of course.

Can't say that I've noticed Takish having a lower gem drop rate than Miragul's, though I suppose it's possible. More like, luck of the draw on the direction you go being well or poorly seeded with drops, regardless of the theme.

Full stacks of all three gem types combined will net you a bit over 50kpp. It may get better than that elsewhere, of course, but if it does, I don't know the spot.

all Ldons mission have the same gem drop rate. It's a matter of luck.

My suggestion is ldon because it's money+points+good exp.

Im in the same boat as you. Im trying to get tokens for 4 toons. I go the LdoN route. I found its quickest if I just leave my crew at the door to soak up AAs then tear through non stop with my SK. With SK donar and Shaman donar buff along with full defensive AAs You can preety much pull without stoping then back track for loots when your done, or pull large groups and loot after that. My normal pace is 2 Slaughter missions in 30 min, Im guessing my SK is around the same gear lvl as yours is to

I ran 3 of them today and pulled in 15k
