Ok, I'm writing this because it would have helped me when first starting out and I still see this question raised from time to time in OOC...

There really is not much use for large amounts of Plat on EZserver, but when first starting you may want some Tinkerers Bags (5k), a Pegasus Cloak (1k) and Jboots (1k) and at level 60 you will want your Newbie Item V2.0 (10k).  [all items from Newbie Merchant, prices are approximations)

Here is how to get those amounts in 15 minutes or so:

High level players often build alts quickly by power leveling them. They will pull massive amounts of mobs and kill them in one nice neat HUGE pile for you to come loot.

****edit****
Thank you to my favorite warrior Tacl (who plays his toon quite well btw) for pointing out this very nice feature (which I didn't know about). No Drop and low value items can really slow you up when looting piles. Now you can just ignore them.

Doing this will make you 5x faster at looting piles of mobs:
Type
"/hidecorpse looted"
This will make corpses disappear from view after you have opened the loot table once and closed it. (you can turn it back off by typing /hidecorpse none).
****edit*****


The best place I have found for grabbing fast cash is City of Mist, where massive amounts of valuable gems are dropped. Seek out the 'Non-Custom Zone Teleporter' and say citymist. I do recommend you do the newbie quest and keep the clicky invis hotkeyed. You wouldn't want to interfere by getting yourself killed. (http://ezserver.online/forums/index.php?topic=324.0)

And on that note, always be polite. ALWAYS ASK BEFORE LOOTING. If they seem to want to loot their own stuff, move on. There's millions of plat rotting all over the server.

Other zones good for picking up some cash:
Mistmoor
Plane of Fear
Velks
BoTh

I'd say velks is my #2 pick, but with the level restriction City of Mist is my favorite. If nobody seems to be PLing, here check another zone or wait a few minutes.  

Hope this helps someone getting started on EZserver. It's a fun place to play.

ps. The one thing i know for sure is that I don't know everything. Please feel free to post helpful thoughts or idea's on this subject.

You wont be able to do this at level one but in velketor up where the kobalds are, those mobs will drop 2 to 4 diamonds on each corpse. Sometimes they drop blue diamonds but mostly just reg diamonds. Which if i remember right is worth around 100 plat per diamond. Heh its where i went to get money to buy items i needed for grandmaster items for roa

dont really need pegasus cloak or jboots...
You get SOW from buff bot anyways and you level up so fast anyways that you get way better gear than these... unless you got money up front for them dont waste money on those

Thanks for the additions. All good points, but let me reiterate, this is a "Beginners" guide. I've watched many people slipping around velks trying to get to the upper kobold camp, falling off like noobs, when all they had to do was grab a Pegasus Cloak and lev on over.

When you've lost your SoW and are on the way back to refresh or don't want to leave your camp, Jboots are handy to have.

I get the feeling people quickly forget what it's like to be new on this server when they've got multiple 70+ toons running around.

dulak drops diamons like candy few hours leveling from 30-60 i got 60+ diamonds. it was like 11k. also do the quests for each tier in the leveling process chances are you would complete them anyway why get not the money for the reward too.

when dealing with lots of corpses you do "/hidecorpse looted" and things you loot will vanish. i only loot the gems and leave other trash. to turn it off just do a "/hidecorpse none"

LOL!  One more thing to add to the Wiki/Faq, Reed.  All the quests would be good for a beginner to know where to go, and what they get, etc.

Where is the fun in that? lol
Also.. "down the hole" kobold are better... there is more and easier to pull separatly.

Yeah i had to make a new character actually for the quests. Reed is to high for the quest dialog. So since i need a second cleric anyway, gonna use my cleric to go through the quests and dialog to SS and post on wiki. rewards and all.

Got Alcarmaba's quest so far, picture of whats needed and reward. couldn't do the side mission for platinum bag though. coming soon

In theory, a great idea. In practice, Velks is a No Levitation Zone. On EZ, as on Live, you lose whatever levitation as soon as you zone in. I haven't tried to cast a lev after zoning in, but I would assume you get the same spell failure message as you do on Live.

Did this get changed? I am certain I remember having some kind of lev in Velks before. I haven't really been in Velks in sometime though.

As of last week, I was using Levitate in Velks.

Was this changed? I dunno. I just know it was working for me using the Pegasus cloak.

I know way back in the day on Live, if you zoned into Velks with two forms of levitate, it would only erase one of them.   I dont know if this method still exists today.
