I was wondering about a good cash camp at level 60. Been spending a lot of my time getting levels and man am I hurting for some cash. :( Any suggestions?

61 and probably 65 will come quickly at the rate I'm leveling so feel free to throw out anything for those levels. I just don't want to miss out on good spells because of low cash flow and thought maybe I should stop and build my bank up a bit. However, I'm open to any and all suggestions. :)

Not sure you can solo in nurga at 61 (I mean in the back close to the droga zones). You could at least bring a slower and prob do that camp. Otherwise, You are going to hurt for all the really GOOD loot until you are a bit higher. You might be able to do certain Veksar areas with LoZ, but you will have to be fast on the dots and heals. Earring of darkfaith is def in your reach and possibly even some of the dark blue mob zone areas like the feral lord. Kylong shinguards (10k on the nameless).
A suggestion for you also if you don't mind "mind numbing" boredom on a camp is to do the goblin fort in Warslik's Woods for grachnist earring. While a rare drop he will drop it at least 1 -2 a day for you which means 5k - 10k or so. I used to find this one of the easiest kills for the loot involved just that most people don't want to put up with the mind numbing killing and the lag that is in WW.
BW giant fort.. Might even still get exp at 61 on the giants.. not sure. This is good loot but only from the vendorable sence. What you get you sell to vendors rather than in bazaar like the earrings.
I will also reiterrate what jeb said though.. get levels and dont worry so much about farming till you get high enough to get the really decent loot. I make more in 1 day now at 65 than I did the entire time I was leveling my first char up till he was 65.

Honest question for you, then, Doomfir.
I'm 61. I'm decently geared for the most part, but I just broke my bank on Robe of Ancient Earth. (to put things in perspective, that 37K was a fortune to me)
I've resigned myself to wearing my current gear for the forseeable future... and never seeing anymore ornate than I'm presently wearing. With a lot of time and hard work, I can get some LDoN upgrades and I'm fine with that.
But I'm still unsure where I'm going to get the money for my remaining spectral spells.. much less my rune spells... which is why I'm looking for a cash camp. SoS on Quellious is easily 10K. The 63 pet 8-10K and the rune spells are 20K+
Won't moving straight to 65 and not having the majority of my 63-65 spells (or the ability to get them) be sort of pointless?

Well, Definitely the spells are an issue more than the gear. Some of the spells you can live without temporarily, but some are just flat out needed asap. The 63 while a great dmg pet, is not a must have. LoZ has more hps than him and holds up better, but just doesn't have the dmg output. I can't think of any situation he is a must have in.
However, to answer your question, yes.. you do need to farm enough to get certain spells for both the sence of advancement and for true progression in the game. The farming I suggested will get you moving along at least with more pp.

If you don't mind AAing for a bit you can actually make some decent cash at the garg camp in PoN...they drop Diamonds (regular, blue and raw), Peridots and EPs (MQ them or sell the spells in the bazaar). I know Sebilis used to be a huge farming zone at one point...you may want to vist that zone...the 61 pet should be able to tank ok there....just bring your resist gear. One other suggestion is to head over to the castle in Gunthak...the initiates on the steps and in the door to the right routinely drop vendor trash (mithril amulets, star rubies, etc) that sells well...swarming there with my bard I could net 2K per AA...at 61 my guess is you could rip through them faster....the only problem is they may be all green to you.

OS does have good gem drops etc in the OZ camp and jail, but you can get too many adds for LOZ and shadowbond to keep up. I would save OS as a last resort.
You could camp the Soulstripper in Dulak.
Sells for 9-10k on Stromm.

Golem's jawbone in the grey. The arch sage in acrylia caverns...small pieces of acrylia, blocks of acrylia in grimling forest/tenebrous mounts. The big castle in tenebrouse, Old sebilis pyramid, disco, chef. Velks maybe, uppers camp. Probably most things in LoY, although that entire expansion is still a POS imo. Farm ldon points and roll on loot...

While I sense a WHOLE lot of sarcasm, I wasn't trying to be rude in my first post of, "get 61." It was, I think, good advice. Legacy of Zek trivializes a TON of content that is just too damn tedious to farm for long periods of time without it. Yeah you could probably farm anything I listed above at 59-60, but you'd be fighting basically with a green/light blue pet, that couldn't tank worth a damn and be using a large percentage of your time/mana just to keep your pet alive. At 61 you summon your pet, haste him...pull a named coterie in tenembrous mountains and go afk, come back with chips, a soda, nice dvd in the player....and loot the named corpse. 61 is just a far better position in a necromancers' progression to farm. Exp there is less, and ya you could get half an aa more there in a complete day if you were 60 still, but you'd have to work your ass of for every single kill. Enjoy your plat farming...

I have found that the NE camp in PoV will net me 1 metallic liquid every hour or two. They sell quickly at 5k in bazaar.
For an easier time go to Western Wastes and farm velium hounds and glacier mastodons. Velium hound fur sells fast at 250-300pp and velium mastodon fur sells very fast at 500pp each(I make velium mastodon fur cloaks with 4 of them. They sell quickly at 7500pp). Hounds also drop 4-9pp each. In a 2 hour jaunt I find 2-6 mastodon and 6-12 hound furs. Depends on how many people are in zone. Decent AA experience at 60th level or so. You want good Claws of Veeshan faction here btw.
If you are into a challenge you can try agro kiting Ice Burrowers here. They are DB to me at 64 and give 4% AA per kill. They resist Embracing Darkness alot so be prepared to cast it 4 or 5 times before it sticks. They have ALOT of hp. I use SC as pet and cast ALL my dots 2 or 3 times to kill 1 of these monsters.
They drop Ice burrower silk which sells for about 400pp each(I make ice silk caps with 2 them. Sells for 4500pp). Usually 2 per kill however I have gone 5 kills in a row with no drops.
They also drop Ice Burrower Skin which is a nice monk/beast item. No drop item unfortunately.
They are as slow as granny with her walker so dont worry about getting caught if you have run3 and they are not social so others won't add. Gauging distance is difficult with these since they are HUGE they appear to be closer than they are.
Watch out for Hounds they have an agro radius that exceeds your spell range.
Words of Agony and Expedition drop in this zone but I have yet to see them :(

All the "camps" above are better with a partner. Sure then you have to share but you will kill 3 mobs with a partner in the time you kill 1 solo. So now you get a theoretical 1.5 lootz instead of 1 lootz. I am also on Quellious and if any of you are looking to try other content or different tactics at "solo" camps, I am on a lot.
Just to add from the exp stand point, get with a partner and pull the OC/IC in PoV. 2 good Necros can pull ever single mob (including the Guardians) before the first one pops again.
If your interested, I'll get you a guide. If your on Quellious, send me a tell sometime and we can bust through this in 25mins. 21mins spawn I believe. I usually average 3 to 5 parchments each clear out too.
