A Comprehensive Guide to Making Platinum [img] http://i.imgur.com/8WY1XAs.png [/img] Welcome to my guide on making money in Rift. This guide will cover both direct and indirect methods of generating platinum that do not break the ToS. Direct methods generate platinum, either through drops or vendoring items. Indirect methods rely on other players, generally require the ability to sell on the auction house (requires 1500 loyalty, which is $5 worth of credits or a single REX), and are more volatile. A note in advance: there isn’t a fast track to easy wealth in Rift. This isn’t a guide for that. Unless you have a unique skill and the ability to sell it, there is no way to legitimately make hundreds of thousands in a month. Many of the methods covered in this guide require you to be level 70 (max level) and can handle open world content by yourself. A decent (150%+) mount is also a must. Patron is also extremely helpful.

Each rare will drop roughly 5 to 9 platinum, 12-20 Captured Intel, and a planar fragment, cores, and/or source fuel in your rift loot bag. There will be 3-5, occasionally 6 rare mobs up on any shard at any given time. They will be indicated with an icon on your minimap and larger map if you’ve yet to kill that specific rare for the day. Additional kills will require an individual reward charge for loot (generally not worth it, unless you have nothing to spend them on). To view rare icons after your first kills, you can use an alt that has explored Vostigar Peaks. Rares respawn on a 30 second to 1 minute timer, and rotate every 2 hours. As there are 36 rares, this adds up to a decent chunk of platinum every day. [img]http://i.imgur.com/hcLhIG9.jpg[/img] Rares come in two levels of difficult. The first has approximately 3.4 million HP, while the second has around 9.8 million HP. Both should yield no challenge to even expert geared players with decent DPS specs. To speed things up, you can also bring a friend. Multiple people can get credit if they damage the rare, debuff it, or heal a player attacking it (anything that generates aggro). [img]http://i.imgur.com/7mXz9zi.jpg[/img] Begin on one shard, clear the available rares on it, and then repeat for the next, until you’ve cleared all 7. This will generally clear 2/3rds of the 36 rares available. If you want to be more thorough or have more time, repeat this again later in the day. Use a spreadsheet like [URL=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GgdlxROz0gVTqrlWVs8WDkCrwsx3WVLU3UoLkYWlXIA /edit#gid=0]this[/URL] if you want to be thorough. Expect roughly 200 platinum from rares every day if you kill all of them. [size=4][b]Raid Rifts[/size][/b] [img] http://i.imgur.com/maCCYCv.jpg[/img] Patch 4.2 also brought raid rifts back to max level gameplay in Rift. There are three types of raid rifts in Vostigar Peaks (the Iron Legion, Decay of Ahnket and Egg of Destruction), and they are the only source of BiS greater and lesser essences. They are also a [b]major source of Captured Intel, mid/low end planar fragments, and decent amounts of platinum[/b]. Raid rift dailies and weeklies are available in East Uttila. Dailies require you to close one of the three raid rifts, while the weekly requires you to complete 2 of each. Lures cost 200 Captured Intel and 30k planarite, and can be purchased from the Uttila Quartermaster in East Uttila. I highly recommend putting them in your wishlist so you can buy them from the Rift Store as well. Raid rifts award personal loot (in your rift loot bag) on completion of stage 3 and 5. The first completion for each type of raid rift each day is free, while subsequent completions cost an individual reward charge. Doing all 3 raid rifts each day will generally give you around 50 platinum, 150 intel, a few fragments, and a chance at some essences. [img] http://i.imgur.com/DAK6j7w.jpg [/img] Groups will generally run 20 raid rifts (where each member brings a lure, most popularly Iron Legion), or just one of each of the three. Expect to spend approximately 34 charges and spend 40 minutes to 2 hours on full 20 raid rift groups, and earn around a thousand Captured Intel, perhaps 300 platinum, many fragments and a few essences if you’re lucky. To find a raid rift group, look in the Crossevents channel. Many larger guilds will also have groups run one of each of the three. Do not bother doing a raid rift if you find one in open world without a group. They only award loot to the opener’s group. Consider doing the daily 3 raid rifts on your main, while grinding 20 raid rifts on a throwaway level 65 alt (preferably the same calling) to conserve charges. Sidekick up to deal acceptable levels of damage. Essences, fragments and items bought with intel can be transferred to your main. [size=4][b]Crafting[/size][/b] Although they no longer grant experience, crafting dailies still generate a small but regular amount of platinum. The most profitable tend to be the gathering professions (fishing, butchering (12 starhide leather or 1 infused starhide), foraging (6 processed materials) and mining (6 processed materials), following by survival, runecrafting, outfitter and dreamweaver. Apothocary, weaponsmith, armorsmith and artificer tend to be more expensive. [img] http://i.imgur.com/zPg0DNM.jpg [/img] Regular and good use of minion missions should cover most of the material costs of your crafting dailies. If you have limited profession slots, prioritize getting the gathering professions on your main character for access to those dailies. Crafting amenders can also be a small source of income. As amenders have a 20 hour cooldown in this expansion, the auction house price of amenders with heavy demand often greatly exceed the cost of materials. The most profitable amender to craft is generally the ornament amender (artificer), as it’s used for both caster ranged weapons and accessories for all callings. Textile (outfitter) and metal (armorsmith) amenders also tend to have decent demand, as large numbers are required to upgrade most higher tiered gear. [img]http://i.imgur.com/sdK0fWc.jpg[/img] [size=4][b]Vostigar Peak Dailies[/size][/b] The dailies offered by various scout NPCs in Vostigar Peaks are also reliable sources of platinum. Each day, there is a meta-daily in East Uttila that directs you to a scout somewhere in northern Vostigar Peaks. This scout then offers you 5 other dailies. As these dailies are the main source of Uttila notoriety and a good source of both Captured intel and platinum, I highly recommend you do them. There is also a weekly that requires completion of 5 sets of these dailies, and awards a larger amount of captured intel and notoriety. [img] http://i.imgur.com/broZouG.jpg[/img] If you do not turn in the meta-daily in East Uttila, [b]you may complete the 5 dailies in that area again the next day.[/b] Abandoning the meta-daily will allow you to pick up a new meta-daily, and 5 more dailies. This will allow you to complete 4 more dailies than usual at the cost of neglecting progress on your weekly quest. Up to 10 completed dailies can be stockpiled in your rewards section, to be saved for use with a notoriety vial or token tablet. Expect roughly 100p each day from these dailies if you use this method, including the raid rift daily. [img] http://i.imgur.com/4s02usd.jpg[/img] [size=4][b]Instanced Quest Dailies[/size][/b] Completion of the storylines of each zone in the Celestial Lands will unlock 4 dailies for each zone, closing 2 rifts, killing 20 rift invasions at a wardstone, a randomized daily and an instanced mini- chronicle like daily that replays the final encounter of the storyline. These mini-chronicles can be highly lucrative, awarding a bit over 20 platinum each and taking relatively little time for a total of 80+ platinum every day. [size=5][b]Grindables[/size][/b] [size=4][b]Chronicles[/size][/b] Old NMT and SL chronicles are some of the fastest conventional platinum generation methods available in Rift. Although their yields are low compared to the daily quests we have available in this expansion, our higher stats allow for a much faster clear speed than in past expansions. For best results, you need an alt account with a level 65+ alt. If you don’t have access to one, your plat/hour will be much lower and you will need to queue with a friend. [img] http://i.imgur.com/AO17du0.jpg[/img] The most effective way of making money through chronicles is by speed clearing Rhen of Fate while partied with an alt account. Complete your initial clear through the random queue option. Random chronicle charges give a nice amount of bonus platinum. Then lock yourself to the other chronicles by killing a few mobs or completing the first objective. This will allow you to re-do Rhen of Fate through the random queue. If a chronicle other than Rhen of Fate appears, ignore it and requeue. As there’s no cooldown or debuff and very little delay, this shouldn’t take long.
