Question - Tradeskill farming spots/max out for live servers (3 Viewers)

[Fyrepheonix17]

I have been trying to find a decent list of cheap recipes that i can use to max out the main 7 Tradeskills with trophies so i can go and grab the items from ToV forward and level them and such on my main.. as well as trying to see if there are decent items that use like NoS or higher expansion items maybe or any other better farming spots that i can spend time in because plat is my enemy and i don't have a lot to spend buying materials from other players.. with the added cost of vendor related items...

WW drake caves drops everything you could need for CoV TS recipes if i recall.

ToV, i think quite a bit of it could be found in GD coldain caves, supplement it with the wurms

ToL i noticed certain spots were "hotspots" for crafting items, Umbral plains elementals by VT for gems was a spot i recall. I quit mischief during this expac so i never bothered getting too deep into it.

Don't forget about Overseer. If you have a bunch of boxes, you can actually get an OK amount of mats each day. It won't be amazing, but you if do it consistently you'll one day find yourself with a ton of materials.

It's a good supplement to your regular farming.

Almost every expansion since like EoK? has an easy recipe to put you to 300 for nearly all TS. You just save TS mats as you're playing.

Yeah im trying to find those lists of items that dont require a lot of materials vendor wise cause im tight on plat... been farming for 3 days and only got 700k

I am not a person that does tradeskills. I usually refer to those that have done them before. Like Bonzz website https://bonzz.com/master.htm or other similar guides. Most of the TS mats to get you to 300 are actually found in older zones. They really messed with how TS drops work in modern expansions. The mobs in the modern expansions tend to only drop the expansion specific drops needed for doing the recipes for that expansions' recipe list. Those recipes will be needed to get you from 300 to 350.

If you are struggling to farm plat - I would look into going to HoT or VOA zones as they tend to produce higher levels of plat and gems.

Thank you, the mobs in NoS are dropping sometimes 100pp a piece per kill cause I'm currently doing NoS hunters for bags.. also leveling my baby ranger while i do it. I haven't looked into Bonzz guide yet... i have been looking at EQTC and a few others I'll give this a look.. and I agree they did mess up how the drops are done its like you need to farm every zone just for one piece of gear or Tradeskill recipe .. its been crazy how many silks i have while named hunting but very few ore or timber or whatever else...

Different mob types drop different types of materials. I know someone somewhere has a more comprehensive list per expansion as to what mobs drop which item you need. If i remember correctly they split them into like 5 mob types with materials that kindof match those types. Animals/Beasts, Insects/Spiders, Undead/Humanoids, Golems/Elementals, and Plant type creatures.

*Just to add: NOS is by far the worst expansion when it comes to named spawn rates. So I would also guess the drop rates for TS mats are horrible as well. NOS is not an expansion I enjoyed doing hunter for.

Yeah its been more silks then any other possible drop item and the hunter rates have been bad but i didnt wanna start hunter for bags in say ToL or lower i thought for sure it would have balanced itself out when it comes to spawn rates for not only name but drop rated on the materials ... im noticing certain mob types drop 1 item and then might every 100 kills drop a different item but only 1 of them and then if you move then you are screwed cause the next mob sets only drop the one item that the other mob didnt drop but wont drop a chance for the item you were farming before moving

If you need bags the hunter achievements for bags starts pretty early. I believe in GoD and onwards gives out bags for achieves. NOS is probably the worst to start with for hunter - from my experience.
