What’s up guys, it’s Librarian Husky, and today we are talking about something very, very important: how to get the loot that you need. So listen, guys, I’m just going to say this upfront: where you’re Farming is more important than what you are Farming. Let me say that again: where you are Farming is more important than what you are Farming.

Understanding Farming in MMOs

For those of you who are new to MMOs, Farming doesn’t mean literal Farming like crops. It means gathering items or collecting treasure. We recently found this out the hard way. Our clan ran into a situation where we were short on an item called Crack lockets and Tatter lockets.

Importance of Crack Lockets and Tatter Lockets

Basically, these Crack lockets and Tatter lockets are used to craft Higher tier healing spells. For those unfamiliar with Higher tier healing spells, if you already have tier one, understand that there are tier two and tier three variations, and probably more tiers available after that.

Location-Specific Farming

These items are also on different pieces of armor. The issue we had was we kept doing what we thought we were supposed to do: go to the ruins, kill the enemies, and get the lockets for healing spells. If we needed sigils for weapons and more offensive spells, we would hit up the zebian.

Challenges of Drop Rates

It’s just a low chance to drop the sigils or lockets that we need, and that’s what we were operating under. Then we started Farming Dungeons, and we were getting all kinds of craziness. It was cool, but we do this every day, and there had to be a more efficient way to do this.

Exploring Efficient Farming Strategies

I’m like, it can’t just be in the PVP Zone, because that’s not the solution at all. So, we started to really look at the systems. After scouting about 70% of the map, what I personally found was being able to tell what enemies are stronger where.

Importance of Enemy Strength

The reason why this is going to be really important is that the strength of the enemies determines your drop table. We know this applies in every other MMO, but it’s tough to think the same rules apply here because everything can kill you easily, especially if you’re underprepared.

Observations from Different Zones

What we noticed is that the drop tables were significantly affected by where you’re killing, not necessarily what. For example, when we used this area up north, we noticed a huge difference. When we were doing solo camps in our home zone and came down here, it was super safe.

Soloing and Team Strategies

You could solo or duo this with no problem, right? It’s cake. You just run in there, smash, and if you have a healer, you’re good. But then we came up here, and all of a sudden, we’re getting our asses handed to us. So, if we’re struggling up here, does that mean the loot table is different?

Challenges in Finding Crack Lockets

The challenge we had was that we couldn’t find any Crack lockets to craft the Higher tier healing items. As we kept slaying stuff, we realized we weren’t even getting worn lockets; we were mostly getting Crack lockets and Tatter lockets.

Exploring Higher-Level Zones

We started to move around and check out the rest of the Wildlands. Not all spots in the Wildlands are created equal. This will definitely take some legwork. Some areas up north were strong, while others down south were not great, and some on the west side were insane.

Theory on Loot and Dungeon Proximity

Our current theory is that the closer you are to a T5 dungeon, the stronger the enemies are. We still need to test this theory by moving to other T5 Dungeons. As you move through the Wildlands or any Higher tier Zones, take note of what is causing you trouble.

Identifying Enemy Strength

You can tell which enemies are stronger by paying attention to their names. For example, in weaker camps, you have assessors, who are like the bowmen for the inquisitors. Then it goes up to different names like goads or whatever their name is. If that is not a key indicator for you, just get hit and the damage you take will let you know immediately where you are at.

Strategies for Effective Farming

Understanding and framing the most effective places to farm, where instead of what, is really going to set you up for success. We are in the process of building an entire Database of the mobs for our particular map. It’s crazy how different the drops are in Higher tier Zones.

Testing Drop Consistency

We are testing to see if this affects regular mobs as well in terms of drop types and quality. As soon as we have that information, there’s another topic I want to bring to your attention. We may have solved the height problem for everyone, but we’ll talk about that in a different conversation.

Conclusion on Farming Importance

I wanted to take a little time to let you know again that where you are Farming is much more important than what you are Farming, unless otherwise noted.

Finding Specific Drops

If you’re looking for a specific spell or piece that drops off a Named mob in a very specific location, you want to start locating the Higher tier Zones in your area as fast as you can. There are some exceptions to the rule we found, especially in terms of exploring.

Exploring High-Tier Zones

For example, in Lavad Don, these ruins close to the tier are actually pretty solid. There are higher-level mobs in there that aren’t in the lower tier zone, which is odd since some provinces aren’t part of the Wildlands. However, there are areas within the Heartlands that are strong and provide good opportunities for Farming.

Building Bases for Efficiency

Building a base close to strong Farming spots can be advantageous. Easy is not always better, and future-proofing yourself until the next update will help. Paying attention to where the strongest mobs are near your location is crucial.
