Grinding for Money

Has anyone else run into a slump around the mid 40's in trying to grind for money? I'm finding that the mobs around my level all have very poor drop rates and I'm hardly picking up anything. The only time that I make money is at wraith attacks, and I'm rarely (if ever) in the right area to get to them before getting squeezed out by the over abundance of other players.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for high-drop mobs around my level? a few levels higher are fine, as well. I just want to get back to making money!

    At your level I was making money on mat grinding and buying low/selling high.

    I still do that, mostly b:chuckle

    Try and grind your way to a few more levels higher.
    When you get to about 51 or 52, you can start grinding on foxwings.
    Those things have a very high chance to drop dq items (flexible sinews particularly), and you'll be finding yourself pouring in lotsa cash :)

    Its also great exp.
    Keep on trucking!

    I thought the mobs around 45 drop quite a bit, such as the Abroride Weezblooms which drop a lot of element crystals and stones.

    43 BM alt, ground 45% this morning on the wolves and mastiffs south of Sumor Camp. Walked away with 200k in drops for about 13k in repairs. I think you just hit a bad slump, I've had sub-100k hours on this toon before.

    I recommend grinding at the Valley of Disaster (and Black Mountain?). The mobs are 52-54/56. You are a veno so you can handle it. The 54 antelopes even drop fruit, and aside from tons of DQ items, you get scroll drops and mat drops (like jades). I've had great amounts of luck even in a squad with another friend. Just be cautious of the "Ratt ****" lol and the constant DoTs from the little fire dudes (totally forget their names). All in all, check it out and good luck.
