What is the best way to make serious plats?

So with the imbuement money sink being around having a ton of plats in the bank could quickly not be enough if you want to go full Bling Bling on your gear. Especially if you are going to buy imbuements too off the AH.

Now a lot of people have plenty in reserve but if u wanted to continuously spend 1000s of plats a week what are the ways to fund that?

One I like is equipment hunting and selling stuff on the Auction house.
But income is a little up and down especially if u flood the market.

Forging quarterstaves and selling u can make easy money slow and steady.

Where are the good places to grind plats? I haven't bothered selling stuff or keeping track of areas.
Close proximity of shop and bank, how many plats per hour.
I'm going to test Gont, Avenir Ogre Caves, Fort Anorien, barrow wights, watching orcs etc etc
Any where stand out in your mind as being very profitable?

Is shop in Faerie still better place to sell?
Should I test Sparkle orcs and selling there etc?

I've never sold a single thing in Palanthas or Faerun

Not sure, but the more experienced say the Shadow Elves in Avenir.

I think u mean dark elves. There are shadow elves on Holm but very few of them.
I was surprised that Avenir caves has had some changes since I was last there - the NPCs are a lot lot bigger. Isn't really a place to grind loot now.

Well so far in the testing barrow wights is very far ahead.
They all hold coins, the tougher wights hold over 1 platinum's worth of coins each. And if u are strong enough to carry their equipment to Bree to sell I was getting around 240 platinums per hour rate of loot. With a lot of gold coins in it.

Gont was okay the guards have some coins and the loot was light and easy to ferry to the nearby shop and bank, main coin u end up with is silver.
Was getting around 160 platinum per hour, so 2/3rds of barrow wights rate.

Might try haven dwarves next.
