I'm a 35 necro, and i seem to never have ne money. I wanna know an easy way to get some platinum, and no, i dont wanna buy any from ppl using real cash. Is there some quest or zone where a 35 necro can go to and get fast cash?

You have several options avliable to you.

Hill Giants in Rathe Mountains will net you both plat and XP, could be tough for you at 35 though.

Mammoth in Evefrost, can sell tusks to the Magus at the Wayfares camp, decent plat lttle to no XP though.

Geos in Crystal Caverns, great XP and sell the gems, once again dangerous for your level, but doable if prepped right.

Wall guards in Misty Thicket, spears sell well and you get XP (just the ones at the gate between the newbie area and the area to get to Runnyeye), however watch out for Ella Foodcrafter she will tear you apart in seconds.

Treants in South Karana, decent loot to sell to the Centaur Merchant, but probably very little XP.

Normally I'd advise Spires in South Karana also, but with the recent changes to Paw and the old mobs now being outside around the spires it would be death on a stick time.

Edited for spelling errors.

I started soloing in Rathe Mts with my druid at 35, with only (at the time) semi-decent gear, and a wis of probably 180 (and this was before KEI). So, assuming:

a) you are fairly good at playing your necro;
b) you have at least some decent gear and an INT of 150-200;
c) you don't mind dying every once in a while; and
d) (and most important) you can deal with being KS'd and you don't KS others;

then Rathe Mts is still far and away the best place to go for plat. It's not nearly as crowded now as it was back then, but then again 3-4 people can pretty much solo all the spawns now, whereas back then it took probably 8-10 people to handle them all. Be prepared for seeing 50+ lvls taking down 4 or more giants at a time some times. Be prepared to have people steal some mobs from you. Try not to let that get to you; in this zone, it's just the way it's always been. Be prepared to run all around the bowl for 15 minutes sometimes before you can get a kill, esp. since you can't track (as far as I know). But over time, you WILL make a lot of $$.

Farm the bazaar.

to vendors:
Strawspun belt sells for about 14pp
Grail of Justice sells for about 14pp
White Scale Tunic sells for 14pp
various Crushed Gems sell for 23pp
Staff of Writhing sells for 95pp


Farm vendors:
Look for Handmade backpack tokens that vendors sell for 5gp, resell them for 35-45pp

when you get a bit more cash, buy Ornate patterns that are selling for real low, but them and set up a mule to resell them for just under the lowest seller.

Experiment a little bit and after a time, you'll start to know what sells for what to vendors. Look for items that folks are selling for less than what a vendor will pay you for. Works the other way too - look for spells that are selling low on vendors, but you see them higher in the bazaar. Buy them and put them on a trader.
