Not sure if this has been mentioned in any other threads, but it deserves its own.

Bosses in epic mode drop ALWAYS drop a blue, and about 5 greens of their level.

That means that you can zone into Epic Field of the Dead with a pair of 60s, and farm 20+ level 40-50 (depending on where you kill) blues.  The best place I've found is the haunted forest, theres 13 bosses all in close proximity on a fairly tight respawn, all level 48-50.

You can make a gold+ per run selling all the shit on regional chan/auction house.

Being at least 58 is required, you don't want to fight all the trash on epic.

I just read about this on the AoC forums. I hope I can get to 60+ in time to take advantage of it before it gets nerfed some how.

I'd be more afraid of the market drying completely once people flood it with easy blues.

Thanks for the tip, my tempest needs a few upgrades. Any other good places besides Fields of the Dead with many bosses ?

FoTD is (was as of wednesday) the best place because blue world drops from 50-75 are totally borked, the level 44-49 stuff is better.

Oh there was a full thread about it.
I didn't try FotD yet, but Thunder River is proving great as the mobs can be soloed at level 80 although being as high as 68 and the drops are pleasantly 65-ish, most of them tradable and part of a few sets. Do you say Nerf that FotD blues are better than higher level ones? The ones we got aren't bad at all...

Yes Falcon, I havn't logged in since wednesday though, so it's entirely possible they changed the higher level blues.

At least for light armor, the level 45-49 shit is better than anything up until the class set @ 75+.

By better I mean better invulnerabilities and shit, I did notice the +holy damage (bracers i think?) *did* get better at higher levels, but the invulns, which is really all most of the gear has going for it, seem to build up substantially, then reset at 50 and never quite recover.

I havn't studied the higher level medium/heavy/cloth armor on the trader though, so this may be entirely unique to light, and higher level everything else is amazing.
