Please someone suggest where I can make some half decent Plat soloing at Lvl 46 before I jump off the Bridge. Ive spent countless days nickle and diming Hill Giants in Rathe Mountains and dont appear to be getting ahead, as I try to upgrade my equipment. Any suggestions would be fantastic....Thxs :o

I like the DSP entrance to Seru. think they are all lightbblue dark blue to 65 so may be exp for ya as well. Drop around 20 plat and can have FS weps. Also drop shard you will need for VT key if plan to go there.

There are a few places to go to get both Xp and money. One would be Crystal Caverns, I spent most of my 40s in there. The Xp is not great but you can make a fair bit of cash depending on what you do. The Orcs drop Velium and having a bank in the zone makes it very farmable. You should still get xp off them and they should be a peice of cake to pet tank. If you dont like that you can do the Geonids camp providing you can get it, on a good day there you can make about 10k or so depending on drops and pops. It varies a heap though, and be quite a bit below that as well. The most surefire way to make a fair bit is to farm the velium and do the Orcs in the pit but not the xp that you get off The Geos. If you are really good you may be able to hold down the Geos and run over to do some orcs.
Velium sells quick at 50pp a piece in the Bazaar. Just a thought and its a bit different.

Crystal Caverns has always been a little confusing to navigate for me. It's really a series of ramps and corridors that overlap, and there is no rhyme nor reason to the maps.
To get there, you take the PoK book to Great Divide, then run into Eastern Wastes. The entrance to CC is inside the Ry'gorr Orc Fort, there is a mausoleum looking building in the back of the fort that you open the wrought iron door to and click the sphere to get inside.
Check eqatlas.com for more details. It's an old zone and well documented there.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong level area, but seems to me you might be high enough to go to one of the two mines on the south wall of Tenebrous Mountains. Not a big area, easy to pull singles, and they drop acrylia and gems. Not going to get rich, but certainly enough to keep you in spells and essentials....

Best way is to get in there and just invis and Dmf down to the bottom.
tons to farm in there. And the more you kill the better your faction with the dorf town get. Tip the Dorf's will not help you whatsoever so don't think to run to them for help.

The dorfs will help you, they hate the orcs with a passion. However, they con only slightly higher than the dorfs, so be careful how many orcs you bring to them. Too many and teh dorfs cannot stop em and they chase you all the way through town. It is a good idea to let the dorfs slow the orcs down and then FD until they are dead, dorfs are dead, or they walk away chewing on dorf ribs.
Also, if you dont have DMF yet, just get someone to lev ya in PoK. It will last long enough for you to make it to the bottom of the well.

And be VERY careful running through the Orc Fort. Can't count the number of times Invis wore off and I got a smackdown by one or a dozen of the legionaires or whatever.
True about the orcs, wish I had something like FD when running through being chased by Terrors or orcs (stupid dwarves, can't kill anything fast enough). Also, if you do try and do the cycle for the Geonids, be careful of the crystal spiders. They might look easy but they are very social and I think some of them proc blind (they are near the Geonid caves, but easily avoidable and they have a momma spider (dracnid thingy can't remember the name) that is level 46 or so). If you decide to take her, she'll summon any spiders that are still alive. She was always pretty fun.
At the top of the Geonid cave is an one-way-exit (you'll be neutral to Geonids until you've killed quite a few unless they've changed this). You'll pop out in Great Divide near the fort but occasionally you pop out and get whacked on by a wandering giant, orc, or any of the indigious game animals. This was one of my favorite places next to The Tower of Frozen Shadows. It's fun and quiet and once you've got a rhythm down you can have a blast.
Good luck.
