Topic: 2k in two weeks?
Maradon!
posted 08-25-2001 06:04:00 PM
Ok, it's like this. The guy (singular) on Prexus who can make Imbued Tier`Dal chain armor has a two week waiting list, as he's a rather capable and popular smith.

As of to day I am on this list, BUT, in order to be able to afford the two items I want (tunic and bracer), I need 3.1kpp.

I have 1k banked. If I don't have the other 2k by the time my spot in the list is up, I get bumped all the way to the end of the already-growing list.

So, the question is obvious: How does a level 47 Necro go about saving up 2kpp in as many weeks!?

Any suggestions?

what about spending 2 weeks in the frenzy and selling an FBSS? You aren't a meelee class that wants it for use so you are SURE to win.

Finding Frenzy uncamped would be like finding the OOT Ancient Cyclops uncamped.

My bro's suggestion was Skyfire. He was there in a small group, (His SK, a Necro, and a cleric, all 3 were between 40 and 45) and they were cleaning up. Loot was mostly 50+ level spells, one enc spell he looted is worth more than 4k.

Yea... that is what I was going to suggest.

OR! Get a few buddies and kill IGs in Everfrost.

He said it's a rare drop ENC spell.(Dunno what exactly, just came up in conversation with him earlier.) Someone offered him 4k for it, but his guild advised him to hold onto it as it's worth more.

Hill Giants in Rathe Mtns is a good idea, but it is very competitive. If you play late enough, you can make 1K an hour, forget 2 weeks.

Another idea is to go to East Wastes in Velious. This is also very camped.

Kill Ulthorks and keep the Ulthork Tusks. You can sell them to other players for a quick buck or you can take 4 to Cobalt Scar and turn them in for random gems. This can result in a blue diamond (Rare).

Not to mention you can pick up some Ulthork hide armor.

Hope that helps.

The Seafurbies also drop gems when you hunt them and Gornit.

There's also the guards around the gate in Misty. They almost alway drop a 6 - 9pp spear and some other goodies. I made a few hundred pp out there in a few hours (granted I was also using my Halfling druid to sell them)

I'm trying out Rathe Mountains. Yes, it was very competitive. Played for two hours, dealt with some rude people, and suffered the agony of poor pathing. Even so, I logged with just over 250pp, not counting 200lbs of FS weapons.

Bank nearby (oggok), merchants even closer, and the occasional blue giant. Yup, I think I'll stick to this place for a bit

No offence Maradon. But no wonder you complain so much about Necromancers. If you can't clear 2k in two weeks at level 46(?) then you need to review how to play one and where to play. I can clear about 1500 in a week if the market is right. closer to 1k if a lot of people aren't buying. Get a group in COM. Lots of stuff there.
Hell you could pobably get 2 just soloing HGs in Rathe Mountains.

I guess that makes you cool then. Huh tough guy? Huh???

And for your information I can easily make 300000kpp in a couple hours, I just choose not to for this particular purpose.

Yeah... take up Imbued Teir'Dal blacksmithing!

He's lucky he can take orders... the cultural armor I can make required DROPPED ore from Sol A, Perma, and Highkeep. A DE can go to third gate and buy all the adamantite he wants...

But their temper is almost as bad as the dwarven temper... he must have minions gathering temper components for him... no way he could take steady orders, much less a waiting list worth, without them...

[brakes put on a Mightion Brand Smithing Rant]

Good luck on the HGs so far... I'm 44 and I can't solo a HG without LoH...

Ditto, but I don't let it worry me. As long as I have fun when I play, it's cool.

Ok, I lied. It bugs the hell out of me to hear someone talking about 2kpp, when I've only once gone over 200pp with my main. I've burst into screams of fustrated rage when I've seen someone's handywork at playing dress-up with the POD and equipment costing several hundred plat. It drives me nuts.

I get over it though. I do strange stuff like wandering through BlackBurrow, giving fresh cookies to the Gnolls. It helps.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

DANGIT!! You got to this topic before me...I was gonna say that!!

Roflmao...

Given that my highest character is level 15, here is my advice:

Kill Gnolls in BB and hope to the gods you get something good you can sell for 5gp to the merchants. Sell 10,000 of those any you're looking good!!

Or sit up by the perma-frost entrance and hope the people there give you FS weapons. Sell those for 5pp each, sell 1000 and you've got 5k!! EASY MONEY!!

Oh oh!! Go to wisp island and kill wisps, get 200 greater lightstones, give them all to Mylisa in NK, sell the books to Romi and get 2k!!!

That's just my 2cp...

I'd recommend the King and Alchemist camps in Permafrost. All it would take would be 3 cloaks (either white wolf hide or mammoth hide). That'd be easy for you to do in three weeks.
