New to farming.

Just got a Rad/Fire Brute complete and have been able to start this experience for a couple of days now.


I had found that keeping endurance up was a very close watch all the time waiting for Consume to recharge. 
So, I went with Cardiac for the Alpha slot for the 45% discount. 

This seemed to help a lot and I could go several mobs without worrying about Endurance.

Then someone suggested Musculature in the Alpha slot for the 45% damage boost.

I understand more damage means faster destruction which means less Endurance. However.. I still can't past the feeling of have the Endurance reduction is better?

I would love to hear the thoughts and opinions from the Farmer Experts here.

Thank you

Most fire farmers rely on the Ageless Core Destiny to keep their endurance in check.

I noticed there weren't really any AFK ATTA farm maps for S/L builds so I made one. I am using the elec/rad AFK build with some adjustments because the endurance drain is actually more than the build can support. Even though it says focused accuracy is unnecessary to run, it takes much longer to complete the map with focused accuracy off. Slotting for endurance in focused accuracy and losing 2% melee defense doesn't really affect the build, but I run 2 accounts in the map so maneuvers stacks. 

 

Anyways! I got side tracked. 53436 is the Atta map. Set yourself to allow AVs so the ally doesn't die, follow the ally (AFK Ninja who will be in Atta's room everytime in the same spot), set atom smasher to auto, and just reset every 40ish minutes. Only thing is you sometimes get stuck while following the ally, but honestly is much easier than resetting every 5/10 minutes.

With very aggressive active farming, constant insp combining and attacking, each map can be completed in 2:30 to 2:45.

I can see page4 getting those times. But I don't see you getting those times with page5. Your video was with page4. I would like to see you post a vid with the page5 settings.

Yes, it's now about 3:30-4:00. The burn change makes a huge difference in damage.

Haven't attached the Active Rad/SS tank because it's a friends build so need to ask permission first. Essentially just proc out everything including GroundZero/Radiation Therapy, and build for 130% base recharge. With hasten and FF active you're looking at 300% recharge.

I wont ask for you to post the build, I will simply ask, is it "The Aprocalypse" build?

Yup!

Procs in everything that takes it. Build for as much recharge as possible.

Just checking.

I saved the build when the player in question first posted it, though I can't remember their name now to save my life.

I already started working on it, guess I'll kick it up a notch, try to get some use out of it before there are any changes to procs.

For some reason the Insp macro doesn't work as intended for me. When I press E it brings up a menu and then I have to click in order to create/use insps each time. I'm pretty sure in the past all I had to do was spam E and that's it.

 

What am I missing here?

EDIT: Solved.

Whoops, I didn't mean to delete my post about rad/dark tanker as a farmer, but I think I figured out the reason why super strength is better, the 15foot radius is bigger than anything in Dark Melee. Sadly I think that means a new character is in order, though I do love my rad/dark and my still consider making it a farm build. 

 

What are folks suggestions in terms of how to fill in the rest of my aoe gaps? Is Cross Punch worth it? What about my epic pools, should I go with Mu Mastery for the added aoe, or is focused accuracy necessary (helpful maybe with proc slotting?).

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Also thanks for your farming maps America's Angels, I always rate them 5 stars and recommend them to people.

I read through a lot of the advice in this thread, thank you America's Angel and other contributors.

 

This is my S/L Rad/SS Tanker fire farm build, I am open to suggestions for improvement.

 

I ended up getting 90%+ S/L Resistance, 45%+ S/L Defense, 600% Regeneration, 150% Recharge, 182.5%+ Damage, +35%+ Accuracy, +43.28% To-Hit, and loaded up with all the procs I could fit.

 

I get pretty obsessive with these things, but I think this checks every box? I am not sure. 

 

Also, it seems that the build is about as cheap as you can get assuming you allowed yourself to splurge on roughly one ATO set, one Winter set, and one Purple set. I end up farming and accumulating enough purples that is fine with me, but I think it is at least a mid range budget build? Funny enough I didn't even intend for it to be that way.

I know many folks on here don't like to have travel powers on farmers. I get it, your money can be your travel power.  I suppose a travel power at level 10 is just a stylistic/roleplay choice for me (I am on Everlasting). If you would rather not have a travel, this one is +50% more generation and 16% more recovery than the build with a travel power but is pretty much the same thing.

I notice the maps you recommended are Fire farms, but the Elec/Rad AFK tank build is a S/L build. Is there a S/L AFK farm you recommend?

The Elect/Rad Tank is a dud . Unslotting and going back to Rad/Fire brute. *Shrug*

 

Update: @Helios Mage's AFK map 53436 is doable.

**FEBRUARY 2023 SMASHING/LETHAL UPDATE**
 

Okay, so after a bunch of testing, the best active farmer is a Rad/MA Tank, and the best AFK farmer is an Elec/Rad Tank.

 

Builds & Maps are below:


ACTIVE FARMING

Build: For Active Farming (i.e. you at your computer actively playing) use the attached build called "AA_ACTIVE_SL_Page5"

 

Map:

For 10 min Active farming use map #54399


Settings:
+4/8 Difficulty
AVs set to on. (This will keep the helper alive.)
 

How to Play:
Buy 2 small purple inspirations, and 18 small red inspirations. Enter the map, pop the insps. Spam your AoEs and everything will die. There's a helper in the map who will summon phantom army's to help you bunch up the mobs. (You can do the same with your banished pantheon lore pet. Although I'd recommend saving the lore pet for when the helper NPC spawns too far away from the centre of the map.) You'll want to pick up the Increased Attack Rate base buff and Offense Amplifier P2W buff. (Although this is not required.)


Note: If you have a Rad/SS tank already, it's pretty much just as good. Just use the same build, but switch out Storm Kick/Focus Chi/Dragon's Tail for Jab/Rage/Footstomp
 

 

AFK FARMING

Build: For AFK farming use the attached build called "AA_AFK_SL_Page5"

 

Note: Do not toggle on Focused Accuracy. It's just a set mule.

 

Map:

For 5 min AFK farming use map #54401

For 10 Min AFK farming use map #54400

Settings:
+4/8 Difficulty

 

How to play:

Jump into middle of map. Hit assault hybrid +ageless as you leap. Put Atom Smasher on auto. Come back every 5/10 mins to reset.

 

MAKING YOUR OWN FARM

Not a fan of the meteor map? Pick whatever map you want and then give your mobs the following power selections:

 

Minions:

Lieutenants:
image.thumb.png.88828787472988aecc9ebf169ecbf2e3.png

Bosses (Both Active & AFK):
image.thumb.png.3e2c51d743c742cd652b9ec65a634c58.png

 

HOW TO DAMAGE CAP YOURSELF WITH INSPS

 

Put the attached file "FarmPro.mnu" into your C:\Games\Homecoming\data\texts\English\menus folder. (Or whatever the path name is for your installation)


Then when you're in-game on your farmer, type the following into the chat and press enter:
 

/bind e "popmenu farmpro"

 

Then when you're in the farm, spam the "e" button to combine your inspirations into reds + eat them. (The "e" button will do both.)

 

 

AA_ACTIVE_SL_Page5.mxd AA_AFK_SL_Page5.mxd

FarmPro.mnu

Quick question - New to farming and just built up @America's Angel's Rad/Fire Brute but I continuously get knocked down when trying to farm (map 41794). Is there something outside of Enhancements that gives KD resist that I may be missing or something like that? Thanks in advance.

 

Had the same issue, apparently maxed out incarnates provide the proper KB protection. You can add a blessing of the zephy IO to a travel power to help in the interim

Gotcha, thank you!

When I get Increase Attack Speed and Increase Recovery temporary powers from the Supergroup Base, I also buy the Knockback Protection temporary power.
