I currently box 72 war/clr/enc/wiz/wiz/mag and keep running out of plat purchasing spells. I read one plat guide to do Dragonscale Hills but after several hours I get around 12k which is still unfortunately not enough. Are there any other suggestions for gathering plat 70-75 on live server?
 
The best way for you to make platinum would be to find mobs that are either green or grey that drop decent plat per mob or high value vendor trash like gems. The reason you want grey to green mobs is because if you want to farm platinum Kills per Hour is going to be a huge factor in how much platinum you are able to obtain in a given session. For example, Plane of Fire has pretty good vendor trash, but the mobs are in the mid-60's which would probably mean you'd be able to kill around 1-200 in an hour, which may net you 5-10k; but if you would have went to a zone such as The Hole, where the mobs are high-40's to low-50's you'd be able to farm substantially more just because you would be able to kill so many more mobs, maybe 2-400ish depending on how geared you are etc.

With all that said however, you'd make much better platinum if you were a higher level. If all you are concerned about is having some plat for spells and stuff a much easier alternative may just be to sell a krono. Selling a single krono should be able to buy your entire group their spells up to 105 and still have a bit left over for gear or other items you may need as you grow in levels, and even having a single character at 105 would be able to out farm your entire group of mid 70s.
 
@Anthilia thanks I'll try green or grey drop areas and if that does not work then I'll cough up cash for Krono and sell.
 
Krono prices are dropping - not a very stable market right now.

Most people forget that you also get plat as a reward from the level daily kill 5 tasks from Teek. Not the DH HA but the other Teek. This would be in addition to the armor reward (only worth about 9 plat or could sell it in baz if you wanted to run a trader - I do and only ask 50 plat - it sells well since that price is far below the npc or other sellers) At least I am making something when sleeping lol.

If you are gold/paid then don't forget you can buy bags of plat from loyalty merchant - anywhere from 12000 to 16000 plat in each

There are also specific quests in which the reward IS the spell - you can look those up and gain exp and plat while doing the quests.
 
Thanks for extra tips I'll try different areas, daily missions, bazaar trader and loyalty merchant.
 
I always went to splitpaw to farm gems around that level, made quite a bit of cash there in the triangle area where mobs roam through in the middle of the zone

splitpaw/infected paw, which ever is the level 70 zone lol
 
infected paw, and yes that place is great. keep everything (even things that look like garbage is decent plat), and gems galore at that lvl plus great exp
 
Fibble5 in DoDH is pretty good too.. get the lowest level mission and kill away.. just messing around in there i get 20-30k in the 6hr period.. that is me just selling the mechano's to the vendor and not selling them in the baz for cultural.
 
Luckily I had a ton of loyalty points saved on some of my gold accounts and bought as many platinum bags as possible. Thanks for the tips!
