Making
money. It's a essential part of EQ life. The question
is how? There are alot of diffrent way's for druids
to make money. 80% of them are from farming. It's a
boring and painstaking process, but it is essential
for many to make the money for their armor and spells.
Spiderling
silks- Can be looted from mobs in multiple zones. Spiderlings
are very low lvl creatures usually lvl 1-2. Their silks
are highly desired in tradeskilling for making leather
padding. Depending on your server you can sell these
in the bazaar for between 4-10 Plat each. this is the
ultimate way for a newbie to make the money for some
armor and his spells in a very short time.
Low Quality skins- Wolf can Cat skins are used for making
leather padding and usually sell for around 5-8 Plat
each. Easily farmed by the newbie in west and east commons,
and easily mass farmed in EK by the higher level players
using a point blank AoE spell to kill huge numbers at
one time.
Spider silks- A metric ton of these are needed to get
your tailoring skills up on wu's. Anymore these sell
for around 4-7 Plat each. The best place to farm these
is in East Karana ( Crag Spiders ) they drop up to 8
silks each and you can Point blank AoE them using your
upheaval spell. I usually kill 8-12 of them at one time.
Put your back to a tree so they don't push you and cause
your spell to be interrupted. If your over lvl 50 they
should rarely hit you at all and then for less than
10 damage.
Velium bricks, block, and pieces- Crystal Caverns is
the place to be. These are currently in very high demand
beacuse of a new smithing skill up route. The miners
can drop up to 2 pieces each they are low 30's in level
and rather plentiful. When you get the bricks and blocks
place the brick in the forge and cut it down till you
end up with 2 small pieces [brick and smithing chisel,
combined in a forge]. These stack and sell for nearly
as much as the bricks do. So you can double your money
rather easily. Usually Small pieces of velium sell for
40-65 Plat each and they sell fast too. At lvl 64 I
can kill every miner in zone and have time left over
to med before they repop. There are 2 sets of miners
up top and at the bottom. There are several wandering
ones in between as well but they are not as plentiful.
There are other routes to take to make money. Foraging
is a good route. Branches of planar oak can be foraged
in the plane of growth and sell for 150-200 Plat each
but they are a very rare forage. Tufts of dire wolf
fur sell for 25 Plat each and can be foraged in Kael,
Thurgadin, and Eastern Wastes. Dragon eggs, Tea leaves,
Yew leaves, and many other items are good sellers as
well. Foraging is a slow and painstaking process and
the profit- time ratio is not so good unless your in
the zone xping anyway's.
Brewing is a very good tradeskill for making money especially
for those lvl 30 and lower. Heady Kiola's can be made
at 46 triv and you can double you money on them. They
are used for wu's armor witch is the major tradeskill
route for tailors. Also making dyes and tempers are
good. Coldain velium temper is a good seller right now.
It can no longer be NPC purchased so it's a very hot
item. LoY dyes are made from foraged items in many zones
and are a popular item in the bazaar selling from 10-20
plat each. The only downside to brewing is that the
combines and sub combines are a real pain and hard on
the wrist.
Buying low and selling high is a popular way of making
alot of money as well. People make a good living by
doing this. They buy super bargain deals and resell
it for a higher price, for a profit. You hvae to know
the market very well to do this and you can loose your
shirt if you make a mistake or if the value of a item
drops for some reason. high profit = high risk.
There are other way's to make a quick buck in EQ but
these should get you started easily enough.
