Title: Which mobs drop the MOST plat? *Warning Spoilers*
Post by: swamphy on August 30, 2010, 02:33:33 pm
I was curious... so I dissected the database of 11,001 mobs in the base 146MB of text that is the eqEmu source code. (for reference, the entire Bible in HTML fits into about 7MB, so it's a lot of text).

Granted this is not the EZserver source code, which has been modified, but it is most likely the same code as non-custom content.

This is only for plat drops, not items. Numbers are in copper, so 1000 = 1pp.

Results:

Highest minimum drop
'corathus_big_trash'   20000
'Targin_the_Rock'   8250
'Raster_of_Guk'   8250
'a_sand_giant_elite'   7500
'Qua_Senshali_Xakra'   6050
'Protector_of_Terris'   5500
'Guardian_of_Terris'   4950
'Sustainer_of_Nightmares'   4950
'A_Ra`Tuk_Decapitator'   4532
'#an_eerie_chest'   4400

Highest max drop (excluding chests)
'Fire_Giant_Warrior'   52567
'Fire_Giant_Wizard'   52567
'A_Hill_Giant'   52567
'An_Ice_Giant'   52567
'A_Sand_Giant'   52567
'a_sand_giant_elite'   50000
'dreadlands_#The_Fabled_Gorenaire'   50000
'Quarm'   46750
'corathus_big_trash'   45000
'#The_Fabled_Zorglim_the_Dead'   40000
'#The_Fabled_Foreman_Smason'   30000
'#The_Fabled_Foreman_Rixact'   30000
'#The_Fabled_Ry`Gorr_herbalist'   30000
'A_Nightfall_Giant'   30000

So there you have it, the top mobs to kill for straight coin.

Conclusion: farm gems. It's faster.

Yeah, 50pp is nothing.  A diamond goes for 100 and a blue diamond 250pp?  I've always wondered if farming velious gems would be worth it, ie Icewell or Cobalt Scar or maybe Kael?
