    Default Best Platinum Farming?

    I need to know the best/quickest/easiest way to make platinum. I have an 18/2 cleric/rogue and an 18/2 wizard/rogue. I'm assuming some scroll farming would be best. It was suggested that I try Epic Chronoscope but I got whooped on the first fight. Just looking for a good way I can solo and make some platinum without to much effort. Need the quest and best strategy. Any suggestions appreciated!

    Perhaps the Inspired Quarter? I do not have the packs, but I have heard many players mention that it is good for this purpose.

    Both cleric rogue and wizard rogue would be able to solo farm the 3 epic demon queen chests, or the von4 acid shaft chest pretty easily. Unfortunately for eADQ you need someone outsider the desert to reset it. I use a 2nd account that I dual box, though I hear you can do so with a hireling? Note: Invisibility is your friend.

    In addition, Dream Conspiracy is great for loot. Even on normal, it has a guaranteed 2 chests, plus one more if you can solve a puzzle (that is trivial with the solver on the forums) plus another if you can open a lock with knock or rogue skills, plus a yummy end reward. I usually get through the whole thing, including puzzle, in about 10mins, but I do extra stuff while exp farming. You could probably get it down to a 7min loot run.

    Jeets also has 1 really easy chest you can loot if you have dimension door (skeleton in the closet, back of bottles, key is behind the 2nd chest in the front of coins). The back of coins chest is more annoying becuase the boss guarding it is a red named with tons and tons of hitpoints. Not worth the time IMO.

    The solo only one on the dreaming dark island is also pretty awesome. It has 1 lvl 19 chest, plus 1 level 20 end reward, plus up to 5 other chests of lvl 10-12ish. I usually finish this one solo in about 5mins.

    Experiment with different ways to scrollfarm eChronoscope. Make sure to Power Word Kill the Acolyte of Shavarath within the first second he becomes targettable (which is when Bazdor says the word 'Kill').

    I've tried a few ways and my preferred approach is to put a Discoball up where the archers will spawn, then stand behind the Acolyte, PWK him, then throw a Circle of Death on the Archers (usually 1 saves), then run there and Wail, then target the Shavarth Acolyte, Energy Drain him then Finger of Death (to be sure), then keep running circles and Drain/Fingering on cooldown, healing, and using Power Word Stun on Bazdor if he gets problematic.

    Don't actually kill Bazdor - teleport out to Meridia, step outside and summon a hireling (to reset the instance), then if you need mana, teleport to the Portable Hole.


    Nothing in the game competes with the ~1-1.5 million PP per hour eChrono farming pays.
    I don't have a zerging problem.

    I'm zerging. That's YOUR problem.

    Shipwrecked Spy: 10 minutes for 5 chests.

    E Chrono sounds great but I'm getting owned as soon as the event triggers. Going to keep trying, I guess.

    Wrath of flame can be soloed pretty quickly. While there isn't a lot of loot, you can pull a demons blood which can be sold on the AH for pretty good plat. You should be able to ransack it in a little over 1 hr.

    Cool

    Echrono-can surely produce the most plat. Takes some skill, but doable. Also, just running vale explorers grab the loot and put it on AH in 40-60K range and the stuff sells likes hotcakes.

    Raiding The Giants Vault is pretty easy after you run it a few times.
    On average 10 mins on a bard. For speed I don't tend to kill everything, only light enough runes to get one jet working and skip the Hullstone fight. check the DDOWiki for details.

    It might not be the fastest but it's worth mentioning as it's quite easy for OP classes splits: Sins of attrition, with a minimum of practice you can grab 4 chests (on avg.) in 10/12 mins then add 2 minutes for the end reaward and you have a nice 15 minutes 4 hi lvl chests +reward.

    Not to mention it drops +2 Tomes, Keepsakes, and Larges. My favorite run was when I did it with a friend 2-manned on Casual. He was a TR, and going for the first time on Casual Bonus... he pulled a Keepsake, I pulled a Large Scale. Effin Casual. Was hilarious and tragic at the same time.

    If you're only getting one of those side chests then there's no use for Dimension Door. Just complete the coins area first and then walk to the skeleton closet.

    On topic: Quick runs of Sins are popular for some kinds of characters. But simply joining Shroud LFMs may be easier and better.
