Soul Gem Farming?

Print Post  
Just curious, what's the minimum amount of effort it would take to create a toon to soul gem farm (wiz or sorc, not warlock - unless they put it on sale sometime soon)?  I'm tired of waiting for soul gems to show up in the auction house and paying the outrageous prices people charge for them.  But I do have at least a passing interest in becoming one of the people charging outrageous prices Wink

I have a decent level 7 favored soul I can LR (that I'd been feeding tomes to as I found them to make him into my alt, then completely forgot about all the effort I'd put in 3 years ago and used tomeless ranger instead ><).  What level would I have to hit with him and how hard would the actual farming be?

I made a morning lord 1 cl 14 wiz.  Leached xp to get 15 wiz and use rhat toon to trap souls.  Have to be lvl 15 to cast as wiz.
  

If you can roll it you can smoke it.  If you can carve it you can smoke with it.

Yeah...I don't really have friends in game any more after a 2 and a half year break.  My old guild really wasn't a guild, just a bunch of solo players working together to put together a kick-ass ship.  After contributing millions and millions of points of favor, the bastards kicked me out  Angry

Pretty happy with my new guild...for what they are.  It's probably the largest on my server, but it's a hardcore newb guild.  They're active and some returning vets like me, but not a lot of superstars are hardcore players.

I'm on Cannith, but seriously appreciate the offer of passing me some gems.

Now that's an option.  Been kind of on the fence about picking up the sun elfs, but as cheap as they are right now, I'll do it if I can find an actual use for them.  Have a purple dragon knight I'd love to delete.  Rolled him and never played him.  They're just so...stupid looking ><

It's kind of tedious farming even if you already have the caster.

Did anyone ever make a guide of where to find the mobs that drop relevant gems?

Because I made the ML before DGs were out.  That is a clearly easier option.

I never bothered picking up any of the iconics (outside of the purple knights I got with the pack) cause I didn't really "get" the point of iconics.  Yeah, it's cool starting out in the end game, but with a bunch of crap gear, not so much.  I'd rather take a heroic toon with a few past lives into epic than slug through the last few levels with a poorly equipped toon.  Could just be me, I don't "get" minecraft either Tongue

No idea, but if someone cool wanted to put that guide together, I'd be very interested in seeing it  Wink

More of a "this is what I did" instead of trting to actually think about the problem twice to say "this is what you should do".  But the reason is likely the same.

There is a much easier way to farm soul gems than anything listed here so far.

If you're on Gland, let me know and I can probably hook you up assuming you're looking for a reasonable amount and not something stupid like 200 gems.

http://ddowiki.com/page/Category:Soul_Gems lists the places to farm various levels and types of soul gems.

Warlock is the best way to farm them if you can get a reasonable DC, because reasons.

You could also use a GS item and just grab the occasional stone as you play.

When this gets fixed, at least we'll know which dipshit to blame.

I wasn't being vague to hoard some uber secret.   I was doing it so it wasn't spelled out for the devs that don't know how their own game works.

I'd recommend anyone wanting soul gems to stock up now.   You probably have a week or two.

You think the devs play their game or even read about it?  Really?  Funny man.   They're lazy and go for the lowest hanging fruit, which you just gave them.

You just said they don't read about their own game, whilst bitching that I wrote about their game.  Shocked

They don't pore through the thousands of pages on the DDO Wiki.  However, it's well known that they do read the Vault because the posters here (some at least) know more about playing DDO than they ever will.  Some have even commented here in the past.

Sorry I didn't spell that out for you in the last post.  I gave you too much credit and assumed you would understand the difference between reading all the pages of the wiki versus keeping an eye on new posts on a forum.   Roll Eyes

I just find it amusing that you have a problem with me, but not the guy linking to the same shit I said. 

I don't care if they change it.  I have thousands of the things lying around. The biggest pain in the ass is using the Stone of Change. I would prefer them to keep it as is just for laziness and convenience.

If you are in one of the biggest guilds on Cannith, I have to imagine that someone there is hoarding gems. Just ask around and see if someone has some to trade.

Probably the obvious answer, but I was kind of hoping to make some astral shards.  But now it's starting to resemble work, so I'm going to move on to the next waste of time Tongue

The only link in this thread is to a page that lists what zone and mobs to kill for the different types of soul gems.  The linked page says nothing about how to farm them unless someone else had posted a different link and then edited it out.

I see you finally at least partially edited the gayness out of your original post in this thread but, unsuprisingly, you didn't remove enough.  It's still mostly gay and retarded.  Try again.

While the devs may be rockstarz, even they can occasionally put 1+1 together and get 2.

If you want to make astral shards, farm collectibles.

Market's flooded.  Can only get 5-10 if you're lucky (minus SSG's insane cut).  Pretty sure someone on Cannith still has a working dupe method.  I allow that they might just have had bags of duped ings/collectables left over like I did, but judging from some of the newer ings and augments, pretty sure they're still actively duping.

Orien on the other hand looks to be dupe free judging from the scarcity of common items on Cannith and the high AH/SE prices.  But fuck Orien.  Orien sucks.  Plus, I didn't dupe anything there Tongue
