Need to make a quick 20K. What is the best area from me to make the money purely off the gold i receive from monsters. I dont have time for selling magic items.

Thanks for the help.

Shame has a room with 2-4 fire elementals in it. Very easy to kill, very easy to escape PKs due to all the ways to break LOS in that room. They drop 300+ gold each, gems, and ash. Scavenger agent can do all the looting for you. Any character should be able to take these down if you have offensive spells or physical attacks

For a bard/mage, I make about 30-40k an hour in destard off peak when not many people are on. Prime time its just too full of pks or other farmers

I prefer one of three things because the liklihood of being PK'd is almost 0.

1.) Any wrestle/hide mage, casting EVs on the blood elemental in shame. Plenty of room to recall from pks if they even find you.

2.) The snow elementals on the land part of T2A ice dungeon entrance. NOBODY goes out there, ever, and its decent $.

3.) Archer with anat/tact/wreste/mage a heavy silver crossbow of force or greater, and any quick lich spawn. You might try the three in wind and then recall to the Yew lich and back. silver heavy destroys them and the gold-per-second rivals that of a tamer in trammel.

I almost never farm though.

straight and simple,nice gold and nice items.but i like risk.


or get lp and start the circuit of the lvl4s.you will become rich without even noticing,and little risk (get hiding and stealthing too).boring,however

"1.) Any wrestle/hide mage, casting EVs on the blood elemental in shame. Plenty of room to recall from pks if they even find you."


Why is it that my EV's refuse to attack the blood elemental even after I cast invis? This has been frustrating.

Get the EV to agro you, then kite it onto the monster you wish it to fight.

This is how I do it when I screw up the initial cast.

The EV will only attack things it is directly adjacent to (except players, which it will go after from across the room). This is due to an EXTREMELY literal interpretation of a quote or two. But, if you let it go after you, and run past the monster, sometimes you can get it to switch to the monster when it gets near it and you're far enough away.

aye,energy vortex is the most dangerous of all spells,for the person who cast it.many time it happened to me to go grey for that purple bugger attacking an innocent blue :P.
and if the noob dies the real damage is dealt :( (several days kicked from guild...)
if it target yourself,remeber this:the ev deal lp on contact.if a creature stumble upon it,lethal poison will be dealt.if a monster do this,he will than aggro the vortex,and the two start a fight.
also the vortex go in straight line directly towards you,so the key is putting a monster between you and the ev.when you first cast it,always target a square behind the monster you want to attack.
you------monster----ev;never never do you-----ev-monster,even if you cast it(or you think you are casting it) in direct contact with the monster.
if no monsters are available,and the purple poisonous thing is running towards you,you are left with 2 options.cast invisibility on yourself(or turn a corner and hide),or, better,dispell.i personally always cast dispel immediatly after casting the ev,and pick up its health bar(i dont want to miss the target),wheter it is attacking the right monster or not.this as a preventive misure,you know :).

And I thought I was the only one that did the snow elementals

If peacekeeping does indeed stop provocation now the trick of the trade to bards should be gather hoards of mobs in one area, provoke them and should a red appear peace them out and invisible...make sure to que the Benny Hill theme song after so doing. :lol:
