<_< Well I'm a poor Necromancer, something I dont see too much of. My equipment is mostly newbie except for a few things I found for cheap in the bazaar. I notice people talking about fast ways, but I cant find what those ways are. I'm 29, almost 30 so can anyone tell me what I can do to move myself up on the food chain?
Quingothur, I have never had alot of plat, but can obtain it fairly steadily when needed. I have not been there in a long time, but there use to be a goblin camp just to the south of the docks in Butcher block. They drop stuff constantly that was worth several plat. You could sit on that camp and make a few hundred plat in an evening. The only problem was it was usually camped for that reason, and you needed someone to hold the camp for you while you went and sold your loot to a vendor. Also, I don't think you are quite high enough, but the tribals in Dawnshroud drop blocks of acrylia. These sell quickly in the bazaar if you price them right. I get 50 plat a brick and they go fast. The vendor loot and plat from LDoN andventures is not bad either. After splitting it all up at the end, I typically get about 100 plat an adventure. None of these will make you rich, but it will keep you in spell and buff money. The best way I have found to save money is to stay out of the bazaar :) Good luck !

The giants in Rathe Mountains drop bundles of plat and gold at a time. It gets heavy after a while so it's best to have a 2nd account up to mule the cash if you've got one, or use a friends account (with his consent of course). Just keep the mule on a wall or hill next to the zone. So whenever you need to unload your coinage, just place it on the mule.
The giants and cyclops' are around their 30's so if you are 24 and under this most likely wouldn't be a wise choice of zone to hunt.
Other than this method. The only quick way to get plat is to do the "bazaar" thing.
PM me if you'd like to know what that is =P

When you hit between 44 and 50 is a good time to do Ice Giants in Everfrost - they drop uber plat and decent loot.

The goblins in Butcher Block were nerfed. What they drop no longer sells for much at all. At 29 for decent plat and exp go to the treants in SK. I used to bind my self in the bazaar so I could gate back and sell when I was so encumbered that I could no longer move. Fear one kill other while first is running away. Kill the second when it returns. If you can get a partner it is a bit easier and if they are "good" they can just buff and heal you between fights to avoid the faction hits. You should be able to solo them at 29 though. Might get a temp first as extra hp is always helpful.

If you hunted in crushbone than head to sister island, you factions should be around ambly (sp). Their are three solo pulls dropping .5-3pp per + 75% a 1.5pp belt. Also, their are two sisters in a hut, spawn breaking isn't hard, fear, darkness/fear, nuke... One of these sisters drops a 9pp sword every time. Best part is you can sell to vender right their haha. Also, an anoying pirate arggo's me all the time, he is around 20, easy kill for pet, and he drops an earing you can turn into red con sister for factions. This island is good for levels 28-32 depending I guess, might get bored of killing hot pixal chicks but whatever.
After this you can solo Druids in East/West Commons from 30-35 or so but you have to be a trickly soloer or else you might discrase us...
Happy hunting

At 29, you could easily do HG's in Rathe. They didn't cause me any problems at 26. The guards in HK are just as easily killed if you go about it right. Roughly 36, you can start on the giant fort in BW.

Best advice I can give you, Quin is to LEVEL LEVEL LEVEL!!! The higher you get the more earning potential you have. *sigh* But if you MUST have a source of income there are things at your level which seem to consistently make for great cash flow.
1) Hoppers in Marus Seru - They drop LQ hides which sell in bazaar for at least 5pp each, even more on some servers and they add up quick there. This is also a decent zone for exp at your level.
2) The skeletons in Shadeweavers drop Swirling Shadows which sell in bazaar for 50pp each, as many as you can get.
3) Crag Spiders in EK drop up to 4 silks at a time. On Ayonae Ro, people are typically charging 5pp PER SILK and selling them very very fast. 100pp per stack? Yes ma'am, may I have another? Tradeskillers will do anything to avoid farming their supplies it seems.
hope this helps!

Is it just me or have goblins in BB been dropping cray loot lately. They are green to me at 32, but while waiting on a LDON, they wander by. I have had them drop up to 4 items, with their heads and vials of blood bringing 4 or 5 PP at the BB LDON camp? not bad for nothing.

The way i make money is by camping geonids or spiders in Crystal Caverns.
If you choose spiders then it is wise to sell the silks in the bazaar and the geos drop gems for vendors. Each trip i take there i make at least 1500 a day.
I wouldn't recomend this until about your 40's.
