Farming Your EverQuest Plat from Ice Giants The Ice Giants of Everfrost are a very good source of Platinum. The Ice Giants are mid to high 40 Levels, having around 3-40000 HP or so. They can hit around 114 and they triple hit and duel wield. There are 3 Ice Giants that guard the entrance to Permafrost. The camps are referred to as North, South, and Back. Camp names can very from server to server. They can be due by a few mid to low level 40's full group of high thirties, or soloed by 45+ for the soloing classes. They can be good source of Xp at level 45 and under. They are light blue by the time you reach mid 50's.
These Ice Giants are Blue and look as though they are made of Ice. They drop fine steel weapons, gems, pages, and various pieces of junk jewelry. Combined with what they drop and the pure Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Copper that they drop: they range in net worth of 2-70pp per kill.
Many times other people may already had camp these, but if you do a camp check and find out who is camping they will usually be more then happy to send you a tell before they leave so you can take over the camp. Politeness always gets you a camp, sooner or later. Casting a few beneficial buffs on the persons camping earns browning points too. Another near by source of Platinum while you wait for a camp is the Woolly Mammoths that roam around Everfrost. Their Tusk goes to vendors for around 9PP each and sometimes they drop 2 of them. So if you wait around for a camp whooly mammoth is a good way to keep busy and make some plat in your waiting time. The spawn time of the Ice Giants is about 5 minutes. So if you kill them in 60 seconds then you will be able too kill about 11-12 an hour. So you can easily get 300-800pp an hour here. These camps are great for if you can't be on a raid because of going afk frequently and such. After you kill your spawn you can go afk for 4 minutes and come back in time to see the spawn.
The Easiest way to get to the Ice Giants is to get to Everfrost by the Halas Stone in the Plane of Knowledge. It's found through the gate behind and to the left of the Nexus Stone. The Halas stone, which is a safe stone for all races/classes, will take you to Everfrost near the Halas zone line. Once you are in Everfrost you will be facing the PoK Book. You will come to a 'Y' in the path take the path; don't take the path on the very far right though. Then you just stay on the path and you will past two Halas Guards and a wolf. If you are evil you can ivies past or Run way up high on the mountain past them. Then you just stay to the left of the zone line the entire way to PF. You will pass two ice rivers and then eventually come to a big Brick Fort. This is where the Ice Giants are located. There are two guards: one on the left and one on the right. They are far enough apart that you can pull them separately. This Hall leads to the Permafrost zone line. Down the Hall past those two is the Back camp. The giants spawn in an area on the right.
Before you head to your camp, be sure that you have all your slots filled with Backpacks, or even better 10 Slot handmade back backs. This way you can loot till your hearts content. Also, you will get encumbered while you are here. Destroy your copper on a regular basis to cut down on weight issues. But after a few hours it won't matter anymore as you become snared by the loot you are hoarding.
