General Tips for AFKing
Family Attributes Suggested:
5% HP Absorption, 50% ATK, 30% Attack Speed and the rest can be placed into either Monster ATK Damage or HP/Reduce Monster Damage, depending on your needs.
*HP Absorption is absolutely necessary to help you sustain while AFK.
Looting Pets:
- Pigling
- King of Greed
- Phobitan Imp(This is my recommended Pet since it gives +10% EXP, Stance EXP and 10% Drop rate while looting)
Do not be afraid to ask your faction mates about what details which you are confused or require a second opinion about. If you do not have a faction, I highly recommend joining one.
Dr. Torsche's Mansion, Annex
This spot will always be the location in which I would recommend to newer players, it has high spawn rates, decent EXP and excellent equipment drop rate. This is also a decent place to train stances for characters at Veteran 4 up to Expert 3. The monsters of this map drops Strange Clock Equipment, Strange Spring & Strange Cogwheel, which are used for Catherine Summoner's Expert Stance, Puppet Master, so they are consumables constantly sought after. I recommend AFK-ing in one of the square rooms located on the top, bottom and right side of the map.
Profitable Drops:
- Lv80+ Equipment which can be sold to NPC for 80-250k vis each.
- Strange Summon Misc
Pros:
- You can train stances here while looting equipment/misc for vis
- Mobs have relatively low health, so Cresemento Weapons with Lifeless stats are perfect here.
Cons:
- Requires a lot of inventory space to fit all the equipment drops.
- Viktors may spawn in your AFK spot if you are unlucky but if your armor is decent enough, he wouldn't be a threat.
- Over selling the Strange Misc will result in crashing the market if there are too many people selling it at once, so sell sparingly and try to mix it up by going to some other maps.
Resistance Hideout
Also one of my favorite spots, however it is not recommended for new players with weak armor and low Family levels.The EXP rate here is not bad if you kill the mobs fast enough. Monsters drop 10k Vis Bags, Essences(Pure, Dark & Balance) and Brestia Boxes.This is also a really good place to be actively hunting the bosses if you are well equipped with Human weapons. The Bosses spawn according to the rate in which monsters are killed by everyone in the map, usually around 25-35 minutes, the Bosses will drop 100k, 1m and 10m Vis Bags(*10m Vis Bags are rare), Brestia Boxes and Brestia Officer Boxes and some Artifact items such as Devil's Heart and Moonstone etc.
(Note: Artifacts are quite rare drops from Bosses)
(Second Note: An announcement will be given to the whole map area when the bosses do spawn, so keep an eye out for them if you are gonna be hunting them down. There are two bosses that spawn, one huge guy with a Cannon weapon and another guy with two Sabres, so they are easily spotted running about.)
Profitable Drops:
- 10K Vis Bags which can be exchanged for 100k Vis Bags and so on.
- Essences
- Brestia Boxes which drops 100k Vis Bags, Brestia Officer Boxes and Essences at a random rate.
- *Brestia Officer Boxes have a chance of give 100k Vis Bags x 10, Essences or General Boxes which give Brestia Weapons
Pros:
- Cresemento Weapons can be used if the character wielding them is strong while AFKing, though I would recommend a minimum of 32ar Human weapons if your family level is low.
Cons:
- Monsters do not drop any equipment
- Bosses might spawn in your area while you are AFK and if your armor is not good enough, they might kill you before the people hunting them arrives to kill them.
- The map is highly populated on weekend nights which would result in difficulty in finding a good spot since there is only one channel for this map.
- When hunting Bosses, there is a high chance someone else would also be hunting them as well and when it comes to that, it will be a first come, first serve basis.
Byron, Crow Forest
An excellent map to farm Devil's Dream which is used to craft Strata Devil weapons. Good place to be training stances or levels of characters leveled Expert 3 to Master 10. Stance exp is decent for High Masters too however I strictly recommend not promoting your characters to HM before maxing out all of their desired stances.
Profitable Drops:
Profitable Drops:
- Monsters drop lv 100 Equipment
- Devil's Dream
- Miscellaneous drops such as High Quality Wood and Soft Cotton Yarn etc. which could be sold in Market.
Pros & Cons:
- Cresemento Weapons work here but you will want to have either Undead+Daemon racial stats enchanted into your weapons or have your characters split the racials apart. I recommend to have 1 character with high damage on a Daemon weapon to kill off the Elite Greeds that spawn while the other 2 are on Undead. Best case scenario would be to equip your characters with both Undead+Daemon stats on each weapon to increase efficiency.
- The map is huge however the amount of good spots to AFK in is numbered in only 3-4 places.
- Elite Greeds spawn randomly and may be a nuisance if you do not own good armor. They don't have strong attacks however their skills can knock back and deal a lot of damage since you are unbuffed.
Ancient Territory, Castilla
Not much to say about this map, it's a Premium Map, so the mobs are weak and the spawn rates are high. Decent EXP and Stance EXP. Able to enter if you have Returnee Buff, Home Premium Service(HPS) or Ancient Territory Pass.
Profitable Drops:
- Monsters drop lv 80+ Equipment which can be sold to NPC for Vis.
- Monsters also drop Kryptonite which is used for Alchemy & Veronif Dairy daily quest which have low supply and high demand in the market.
Pros:
- Cresemento Weapons are excellent here since the monsters have low HP.
- Doesn't require decent armor because the monsters themselves do not deal a lot of damage.
Cons:
- It is a Premium Dungeon, so it requires a buff in order to enter.
*More maps and updates will be added at a later date.
