First season, I did a range Def tank mixed with Mining and smithing for cash. I spent a lot of time out in the wildy mining and smithing, turning the bars into knives which then repeated the process. I am sharing the secret because I plan on doing a different route for the fun of a new strategy. However, with over heads/bandits camp you never run out of food (pizzas) and with ores, a furnace and an anvil all within a relative walking distance, it is one of the best mining training spots early. Plus no issues with pkers well maybe now haha Also, for anyone who doesn't recognize my name, I am Sk_pk_U_Ok, Officially had the name change and am pumped for this season!! Sorry for the hiatus, work got crazy.
I did manage to get first page mining and second page smithing though (85 and i think 73) before i kept getting barraged to death lol
