Here is a guide to afk camping in Ethernere Tainted West Karana (ETWK) with the goal of getting COTF rares.
Neriak 4th gate is camped 24/7 on the Rathe by 1-2 groups and Argin Hiz is almost always camped too so I wanted to find a safe and quiet spot where I could afk farm COTF rares. I've been here off and on for the past week and have so far managed to get 1 COTF rare from here. In that time I've also never seen another player anywhere close to this camp although there are often a few other players in the zone since ETWK is a hub. Make sure you have /anon on so you don't get asked to do DH HA by people passing through.
I was pretty hesitant to share this spot because every decent spot mentioned on here becomes permamently camped on my server but I'm going to take a break and play on TLP for a while so here it is. I did this camp with a SK, Enc, Cle, Wiz, J5 Wiz merc, J5 Wiz merc. You can see the exact settings used in my group setup here http://www.redguides.com/community/...-Wizard-Cleric-with-INIs-Holyshits-and-Macros, however any group composition that includes a strong tank and a CC should work fine.
This camp is located at -3356 -5270 in the eastern part of the zone at the orange circle on the map. You want to setup on the small hill that gives you a good view of the surrounding area. This is a safe spot however there is a roamer that comes very close to the east so if you're camped too far east you'll aggro the roamer although it shouldn't be a big deal for your CC to handle if that happens.
There is a named called Grawrarawr that pops fairly frequently in multiple locations here http://cotf.eqresource.com/grawrarawr.php The named spawns a bunch of mezzable adds (and the adds drop loot so more chance of rares). Your puller will also sometimes pull an add with the named so you need CC to safely do this camp. You also need a tank that can handle tanking COTF tier 1 named. The named drops latent ether armor pieces so its a decent way of gearing up your FTP alts.
The mesh I downloaded for this zone was giving me trouble but the area is so open and flat that you don't actually need mq2navigation to pull. I disabled mq2navigation (/plugin mq2navigation unload) and was able to pull all the nearby mobs without it.
In the kissassist puller settings I set the pull radius to 800 which pulls everything nearby without crossing over the river.
In the kissassist_info file you need to ignore "a spider egg sac":
I was making around 50-100k per day from vendor drops which I suppose is fairly typical of a cotf zone. There's also collectibles that drop frequently and although demand for them is limited, they usually sell individually for 1-10k each or 20-40k for a complete set.
There you have it. If Neriak 4th gate and Argin Hiz are as camped on your server as they are on mine then this is a safe and out of the way location where you can farm for COTF rares.
