Let me know if you find any errors or corrections. Also, if I missed any good farms, let me know and I'll add them.

[Memnir]

Excellent resource for resources, bookmarked for future use.



I'll circle back when I can and apply the proper & deserved +Rep when I can.

[psykopeta]

u is awesome, indeed

forum sucks, can't give u rep again, when i'm pretty sure last time i gave rep was... 1 month ago? sigh

[skorpeon]

I use this a fair bit, strangely I like farming collectables for specific items I need. Those cultural ones can be a pain though.

[YUTANG75]

The chamber of Rahmat is really really good. Been farming there yesterday. You zone in on top of an adventurer's pack, grab it turn around reset, re-enter. Takes up to 30s per round and easily automatable.

It's faster than that, actually; probably 20-25 seconds. You can optionally run a little ways down the hall to the right and pick up a second backpack just to reduce the load screens. (I have that in my notes for testing, but never got to the point of doing time trials.)

The problem with Rahmat is that there's no real purpose to that farm. It gives you your choice of Tier 2 or Tier 3 Cultural, depending what difficulty you run, but both Tier 2 and Tier 3 Cultural are much easier to acquire via treasure bags. And when comparing it to Arcane/Lore/Natural farms in that level range, Rahmat is way behind; too slow to make it on any of those lists. For example, a 20% chance at an Arcane once every 25 seconds translates to 2:05 to pull one Arcane. Compare that to the listed Tier 2 & 3 Arcanes, which range from 0:18 to 0:30 to pull one Arcane. (Mask of Deception is really only on the list to offer a F2P alternative, but even that is over twice as fast, at 1:00 to pull one Arcane.)

EDIT: Though, yeah, if automated I definitely see the appeal.

Yeah, it's so simple it could be done.

It is always against the rules. Except if you sit in front of the pc, you may see the GM message prompting you to respond and evade punishment.

Rules without a possibility of tracking of their violation and coercion to their execution obligatory for execution aren't.

Of course, if someone alternatively gifted decides to admit public their violation... but it - only its problem isn't it? 8)

[SuperNiCd]

I can't give you more rep right now either, EllisDee37, and even if I could my rep power is worth naught, anyway. So I'll just say thanks, and that I appreciate this and the many things you do for the community!

[khattiya]

Your mileage my vary, but I pick up two more collectables. After opening the door straight ahead for the bookshelf (Arcane), I talk to the Dragonsoul Arms Keeper who sends someone off to open a door for me. Then I go to the northwest corner for some Rubble behind the outhouses. After I go north to the tavern for the cabinet (Lore), I head to the barn in the southwest corner for Fungus (that was locked behind the door the cultist opened for me).

That takes me 1:30 -- and four collectables in a run just makes me smile.
