+1. Along with the guides to the MF Warshade and GD Peacebringer, this guide was the most important advice to my enjoyment of COH. With this guide I bootstrapped my own account, and when my kids got old enough I funded their accounts AND set up baby farmers of their own for them to enjoy the game. This guide was a gateway, and I'm supremely thankful for it.
Agree that the prices aren't what they used to be, many more people playing, but the principles here are still sound. You don't NEED to be purpled out to farm effectively, and for the amount of farming you want to do it may not be worth the effort. You can level while farming, and equip yourself. Those same depressed prices may help you pick up IOs faster, especially if you can put a bid in several levels in advance and let the market play out while you play the game. With a little luck and some help you can have one of these up and running in no time.
See you around, space cowboys.
