5 Badgers/ (levels: 3-5)
5-7 Turtles/ (levels:4-7)
6 Centipedes/ (levels: 4-7)
7 Snakes/ (levels: 5-7)

Very simple quest, with a great payout!

**NOTE: This is soooo easy… and yes… its REPEATABLE!

Enjoy.

Wholesaler Quest Exploit (EQ2 Map Updater)

September 21st, 2008

Go to a tradeskill instance for level 1-10 artisans and talk to person who gives you harvesting quests. They will ask you to collect 15 of one type of resource from a zone, which is dependant on your level. So if you are level 10-20 they will ask you to go to antonica or commonlands. Normally you would get a quest update from just harvesting the material and when you got 15 of them you go back and turn them in and recieve 12 silver (for level 10-20 ones). Now say they asked you to go collect electrum clusters and you just happened to have a ton of them in your bank, have a friend split them into 6 piles and trade them one at a time to you. Guess what, 6 quest updates. So then split 6 more and repeat, then 3 more and trade and you just turned 15 electrum into 12 silver in 30 seconds as well as gaining status points for your tradeskill instance.

p.s. You need a skill of 40 in mining,trapping,etc to be able to harvest from the commonlands. And once you pass level 20 the quests will be from the thundering steppes.

Wholesaler Quest Reminder Serious Cash (Eq2 accounts)

September 19th, 2008

This is a helpful reminder. One that people will say " yea i know that already" but i think some have forgotten.

What you need:

Access to a artisan instance (a place where you can use your tradeskills)
lvl 1-9: 3 silver, (i dont suggest using this at this lvl not really worth it)
lvl 10-19: upto 12 silver
lvl 20+: 50 silver

OK this it how its works:

Talk to NPC when you first enter zone and get your wholesaler quest. Run to the broker and buy the items needed for quest.

Do not pay more than
20 copper per item if lvls 1-9
80 copper per item if lvls 10-19

and i am not sure how much money the lvl 20+ wholesaler quest gives so i cant give you a good idea how much to pay.

Ok buy the 15 items needed for the quest from the broker and then head back to person who gave you the quest.

Lvl 1-9 gives 3 silver per quest completion
lvl 10-19 gives 12 silver upon completion
and once again not sure about lvls 20+

I suggest using this strategy around 8pm pacific time and then every hour or so after that. Reason i say this is that everyone goes to bed on the east coast and turns on there players to sell their stuff. More stuff for sale means better prices for you. on average i make about 3-4 gold an hour when there are lots of sellers.

enjoy this and use it, but not on oggok server i dont want anyone cutting into my profits :)

Oh i am lvl 18 so i suspect once you hit lvl 20 that you could make alot more than just 3-4 gold an hour
