Permafrost Goblin Farming Guide

PP Per Hour Estimate: 1,200 to 1,400pp
Average Plat Per Kill: 1-3pp

In the low 50s there are only a few different options for farming plat, and Permafrost is one of them. Inside of Permafrost Caverns you will find Goblins, lots and lots of Goblins. All over the "front" of the caverns is where you will find all the Goblins that you will want to be killing. The reason I say the front of the caverns is because deeper in you will find big angry Ice Giants with a ton of HP that aren't very happy to see you. How you can tell if you've gone too far is when you reach the large wooden double panel doors. If you left click these to open them an angry Ice Giant is going to charge out at you.

Of course if you can handle the Ice Giants than it isn't much of a problem. They don't hit very hard but since they were designed as raid targets they have a ton of HP. I remember one time I was beating on one for close to ten minutes before finally killing it. Needless to say, it was no fun and most definitely not worth the time spent. Your best bet is to stick to the Goblins to maximize the profit of time spent here. While venturing through Permafrost the main money maker you will get here is the Defiant Gear.

The Defiant Gear drops from the Goblins will net you a good amount of cash in The Bazaar. About 50 to 150pp per piece! Aside from the Defiant Gear and the raw plat each kill the Goblins don't drop much more of value. They have a chance to drop Fine Steel Weapons and other goodies but the drop rate is so low it is hardly worth mentioning. Aside from the Defiant Gear and raw plat you'll get every kill the Goblins will drop Ringmail Gear and Raw Hide Gear that you can sell to a vendor for a little bit of money. Depending on how long you plan to be inside Permafrost you may have to drop or destroy some of the Raw Hide and Ringmail gear to make room for Defiant Gear.

NOTE: If you're on Mayong than the Defiant Gear that comes from Permafrost will be virtually useless. With no one around that level range on the server, no one will need the Defiant Gear. Thus making it worth literally nothing.
