Top farming routes

After 800 you do not pick a map by the monster level: you pick it by what you want to walk away with. Master experience, zen, jewels and excellent items come from different places, and ever since the Season 20 maps started dropping like everyone else, the map that gives the most experience is also the one that pays the most. This page still splits the two accounts, because time per kill changes everything.

The rule that decides everything: who has a drop table

Every map on the server gets the four global drop groups: zen (50% of kills), random item (30%), jewel (0.1%) and excellent (0.01%), plus medals and event items. Today that also covers the maps ported from Season 20, which for a while dropped absolutely nothing: they only had the medal groups registered, and none of their monsters fits in the medal range.

For master experience

The first rule is the floor: a monster below level 95 gives no master experience at all. The second is that base experience grows fast with the monster level, and at the top the difference is brutal.

Choosing between floors is not only about level: Deep Dungeon 5 has 621 creatures of level 275 across three species, the highest density of high level monsters on the server. Deep Dungeon 4 has similar monsters and less than half the population.

For zen, jewels and excellent

Here the math changes little, and it changed for good once the new maps started dropping: you want the highest level monster you can kill fast. Zen derives from experience, so level still rules; jewels need a monster of level 76 or higher; and excellent items do too, with the detail that their pool follows the monster level minus 25. The table below lists the best species on each map, from highest level to lowest.

For excellent items

Excellent has two locks. The first is the base chance of the global group, 0.01%, which is low on purpose. The second is that it only comes off a monster of level 76 or higher, and the item pool is that of the monster level minus 25. Anyone after high bracket excellent needs high bracket monsters, which today includes Raklion, Swamp of Calmness, Crywolf and also Ferea, Nixie's Lake and the Deep Dungeon, which now drop like any other map.

• Every excellent is born with skill and with at least one guaranteed excellent option; the others come by chance.
• The item always comes at +0: the refining is your job.
• The additional option that comes with it can reach +16, because the server roll cap is at 4.
• Each excellent option doubles the price of the piece at the NPC, which also makes it the best thing you can sell.
