Mount Zhayolm can be crazy with the RMT and prospective noobs trying for gil with Khroma ore.
It's the strangest thing, but back when I was levelling Smithing off Adaman Ingots, I mined the majority of my ores. Whenever I went up to Mount Zhayolm I was usually
always on my own. Only once or twice did I have company. This was recurring over roughly two weeks. Goes without saying that I comfortably got Smithing to 90 off of Ingots and was dead chuffed with my work. Made a good few million off of Khroma Ore to. Still only gotten three to this day though; back then they were worth a lot more as the ISNM drops hadn't been introduced yet.
Whenever I go back now to make some money, there's always RMT's there, always people gunning for Khroma and it's never worth the bother. I can't figure it out. Given the end results of both, I'm glad I experience an empty Zhayolm back when I was skilling up.
I don't know if I caught aftermath of some RMT bannings or whether Garuda's very low server population is to blame... All I can say is, I wish it were like that now. I would seriously make a killing if I had that place to myself now that I can craft everything on the spot.
