No idea how it is on other servers, but I camped Ogopogo for 2 days on Asura with almost no competition for souls. Got that done pretty quick. Just loaded up videos to watch between kills. I wasn't a fan of jumping between zones.

Most of time there isnt many problems with those farming in a low populated zone, one because low population, two because this became faster with new gear so quickly people get done and move on, three because its uncommon abyssea mercing outside assura.

Most competition for souls in assura must be mercs collecting KIs. Maybe they just moved to more profitable business leaving camps to people who need for themselves.

I mainly done my souls in 3-4 days just camping. For a good 2 hours once there was nobody doing them in any zones so I just switched them up and got like 14 souls in that time. Otherwise just be patient.

Necro bump, but applicable. Is it better to jump between zones and farm souls or just wait between each pop? To be honest, I haven't done this since like 2011/2012, but trying to gear up my Pld as fast as I can (Trying to get Burtgang done in the next 2 weeks or so too).

If you're the only one doing it, rotate zones, if there are others doing them at the same time as you, camp one zone.

If youre doing souls/plates/Apad, stick to one area, since you can farm what you need for IC/Apad pop between avatar respawns. I left out Azdaja since that KI is in a box and easy to cleave once you get to that point. When you're done with Plates/Apad, rotating zones is faster. T1 respawn is irrelevant, T2 is 10-15 min, T3 is 15-20 min.

This is pretty sound advice actually, I didn't consider that. Thank you.

I will tell you when i did souls back when it was new, they were not that bad as long as i had help to kill the big nm but getting the stuff to pop them it was not that bad.

it was something i just got down and was able to do it with out thinking i just know I did this and then next i go to the next area and do this over and over.

ochain honestly is super easy to get

Only if the zones are clear. On a dead server, sure. On Asura? If there's competition it's awful. Good luck when a farmer gets a buyer, sets an account in each zone, and rotates the buyer through. Timed NM's are the worst when you have to compete. Even more so as people get older and don't always have time set aside to play. Nothing feels worse then scheduling a day for your project only to find the venue is overbooked.

Sometimes I'm too lazy to move accounts. Sometimes I'm too frugal. Asura's charm is also it's downfall.

Pay $36 to jump server and come back... to do it yourself

Or pay ~35m ($30) and have it done for you

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

(unless you're making >30m bringing and selling gear to 3rd world servers in the process)

This. Anything abyssea related is better done on a dead server. Mercs can make this miserable with constant competition at timed NM spawns. (Or farming competition for pop items) It's only 18 bucks during campaign to go there and back. You will save many hours and headaches.

The best way to get something is: complain less, work more.

Eventually you will figure the shortcuts
