  • Easing the pain of farming

    What, if anything, do you do in or out of the game to ease the pain and fill the hours while you are farming green mobs for TS stuffs? I say this because the thought that I am spending all of this play time killing green mobs grates on my nerves. I wouldn't jump out and say it is wasted time but isn't too far removed (other then actually getting the drops you are after). Sure some spots are better then others in terms of bonus coin/vendor fodder/baz sellables or twink gear but...meh

    I leveled a necro and cleric on separate accounts from the low 20s to mid 30s using a druid on a third while farming dracnid spiders silk in DL. Took the cleric from that fun and PLed him to 46 when he could group with my Beastlord main while I was collecting drops in CC (DoD). He is now 52.

    I usually spend a couple days tradeskilling, and then a couple days doing something else - either hunting for exp (where any tradeskill drops are a bonus), or quests or just gabbing with my friends.

      Actually, farming is how I unwind. Between leading raids and constant DoD missions, those things can get rather frustrating after doing them constantly for quite some time. So, it is nice to just sit down for a while and splatter green cons.

      As for your situation... not much I can give you on how to change your view on it. Farming is my therapy session ;P

        Farming masses of weak mobs just got a bit easier for shadowknights with the new spell coming out in DOD that procs a defensive rune. Now if they'd just give us an upgrade to word of spirit, we'd be set.

          Same situation here.

          Farming is generally very relaxing for me. I generally do it while watching some TV.

          Farming is also a great chance to get lots of item xp. Find some light blues you need to farm and go at it. Cazic Thule and Siren's Grotto have been my rescent favorite spots. Since you are lower, it would be some other place. But I'm sure you could find somewhere.

          EQ is not a race. Lots more fun once you figure that out.

          You'll get there when you get there. Enjoy the ride along the way.
