tips and tricks for farming

ok so I've seen a lot of issues with farming and so I'll give you a few tricks to make the most of your farming. #1 level matters If you are a fresh 20 most of the blues you will get will be for level 16-18 and the light will be a very small jump. The higher your light level is the better the drops. #2 bigger is not always better. Killing 1 big guy does not garrentee loot, killing a bunch of small guys in a row is a lot better and you will find more loot this way. #3 leave the loot be. Don't rush to pick up loot, if the loot spawns it will stay there for the rest of the game, if you miss it it will be mailed to you if it's a blue or higher. 2nd effect of this is that rares/blues will drop more frequently if you leave the loot alone. Go ahead try it out it works. Edit: if you are plagued with frequent dcs you might want to pick up all the loot you can. Thanks for the tip sir murez #4 decrypt legendaries last. I know this sounds weird and superstitious but give it a try. It seems to work better if ya do 7 blues then 2 legendaries. #5 heavy weapons/supers Makes drops happen faster Thanks DEZERATH for the tip. #6 loot is player locked not party locked Anyway shape or form an enemy dies, whether you, your team, bob dole, [b][i][u]SOMEONE NOT IN YOUR SQUAD[/u][/i][/b] or another enemy kills it : it can drop loot for you. Locations to farm: Mars, meridian bay, badlands: There are 6 goblins 1 Minotaur vs 4 cabal grunts they spawn very rapidly Earth, old Russia rocket yard: 3 accolites 1 knight vs 3 dregs + 1 vandal along with 2 accolites 2 knights + 1 servator 4 dregs/ 2 rare vandal 2 reg vandal Earth, old Russia skywatch: 4 vandal + 3 dregs vs 3 accolites + 5 ax dudes Venus Ishtar sink Ishtar commons 2 vandals 12 dregs 1 captain vs 9 goblins 2 hob goblins These locations have "the enemies move against eachother " events roughly a hourly basis. Check point farms: Venus Ishtar sink, the nexus checkpoint 2, 9 or so goblins, kill them jump off cliff repeat The moon, the first moon mission, hard difficulty: when the temple opens up go crazy but don't kill the knight/walk in the temple, die repeat. Any questions? Edit: to make a note do not pay attention to the butthurt non-farmers rng is a cruel mistress but she is also fickle , she will reward you at some point in time just be patient. Those that hate farming got -blam!-ed by the d I l d o of rng in the ass and therefor care only about non-rng based gear acquiring.

  • [quote]2nd effect of this is that rares/blues will drop more frequently if you leave the loot alone. Go ahead try it out it works[/quote]That's wrong. You don't get BETTER loot because there is already loot on the ground. It's completely random. [quote]#4 decrypt legendaries last. I know this sounds weird and superstitious but give it a try. It seems to work better if ya do 7 blues then 2 legendaries. [/quote]This is also wrong, it seems like confirmation bias. Again, decrypting legendaries and getting a high tier gear piece is RANDOM. You don't get better gear because you decrypt it last.
