1. Higher tier mobs drop higher rarity items
2. ranking of item rarity ranked from highest to lowest
blue profession drops (e.g. arcane crystals)
green profession drops (e.g. residuum)
runestones
enchantments
blue items
green items
A) farming spots:
***r4 enchants, id scrolls, potions
sharandar 1st gate
1. cyclops, thorns, giantsouls [area where you destroy communication orbs]
2. spiders [area where you kill spiders]
whispering caverns
1. mindflayer area [ do not kill hulks. they might have higher drop rate for enchants/runestones but they take so long to kill it decreases efficiency]
2. blademasters
B) what you want to farm:
1) gold into AD
- identify all blue items and green items to sell to NPC
- use gold to buy either "enchanted key", "coalescent ward", "major injury kit", "potion of major healing" to sell in AD
- "potion of major healing" gives the highest return from gold to AD conversion. BUT YOU MUST NOT FLOOD MARKET or you will not get good returns. Put one or two stacks maximum
2) AD
- do not identify anything and sell "id scrolls" and "potion of major healing" in AH
- price of "id scrolls" varies from 8-12k AD per stack of 99
- price of "potion of major healing" varies from 4-6k AD per stack of 99
3) enchants
- i suggest you get fey blessing enchants. period.
- 4% and above is recommended
- start with lesser fey blessing, there is a necklace with a utility slot that you can use.
***My current setup
1) i'm running 6% fey blessing now and on average i get 50 enchants + runestones per hour
2) i've hit 400 gold in a day before
3) i can sit around doing nothing and still get 100k every 3-4 days
4) i am running leadership on 7 characters
4) HOW TO SELL!!!
1. open the auction house
2. search item by "NAME" so you get to see the stacks of 99 of the items
3. undercut them by around 5-10%
C) OTHER METHODS TO FARM THIS GAME
1. professions
- leadership
- use AD to buy character slots
- get character to lv 11 at least
- do LEADERSHIP and INVOCATION
- if you want to make it more efficient,buy leadership assets to speed things up
2. KEY TRADING (scumbag merchant)
- start with 10 keys
- trade 2 keys for 1 coal ward
- trade coal ward for 2 keys + gold
- buy keys with gold
- repeat until you have enough keys to open every door in Protector's Enclave
- either sell keys to get AD or open lockboxes and sell everything you get and exchange tarmalune trade bars for coalescent wards
- IMPORTANT: you must always leave some remaining keys if you want to continue being a scumbag key trader
3. FOREX
- buy zen with AD when it is low
- sell during every sale of some item of high demand
- or wait until every module release when zen is almost 500
- this is like a long term investment
- short term returns vary because the price gap of AD to zen is usually only a value of 10. MEANING if you were to buy 1k zen at lowest and resell it at 10 points higher, you would earn 10k AD. that's shit.
