[Guide] How to Farm millions of NX: Damp Forest

Prologue

The best way to farm event points is using single-target skills at maps with high density of monsters, this is popular knowledge and the reason players of all levels farm at low level maps using all sort of single-target skills. The balance reason behind this seems to be that if event points dropped as much from multi-target skills it would make certain classes broken, specially mages.

If you are familiar with how multi-mage optimizes ultimates to achieve the best meso/hour perhaps the concept of this guide won't be so surprising to you because this is the logical sequel to multi-farming. I'm gonna teach you how to optimize multiclient with single-target skills to achieve the best event farming results, the best points/hour and therefore the best way to farm resets so far.

Here a sample of one hour in which I farmed 225 points and 3900 NX on a single character without making use of the party points, this is close to 4 resets per hour which is consistent with every test I've done during this event:

​

Spoiler: HERE'S THE 3900 NX

Enter Damp Forest

​

Damp Forest is a map located at Sleepywood, it has 3 platforms of monsters and is best farmed with 4 characters: one top, one mid and two bottom. The highest HP monster in this map is Jr. Necki with 285 HP so it's possible to farm it with first job characters, however the amount of maneuvers required to farm with such unsophisticated setup would only give you carpal tunnel syndrome after a couple of days so no! we are not trying to get exhausted quickly, we are looking to finish the marathon, 30 days worth of event resets.


So what do you need?


To hold position at the four farming spots with almost zero movement, without risk of getting knock-back into falling from the top and mid platforms you'll need characters with stance or high avoid, so warriors and shadowers are the best candidates, my personal pick is Dark Knight for some extra reasons... Behold Multi-DrK.

​

My Dark Knights have stance maxed and are also equipped with avoid gear, they have around 170 avoidability each. Stance and avoidability combined makes Dark Knights immovable and this is important because if your characters are able to hold position you'll only have to worry about 'attacking' rather than 'attacking and repositioning'.

​

Where to hold position?

Spoiler: Top Platform

Spoiler: Mid Platform

Spoiler: Bottom Platform Left

Spoiler: Bottom Platform Right

So why Dark Knight?


First of all our Dark Knights will be using Pole Arms with Attack Speed: Fast (5), could be a Gold Surfboard, Super Snowboard or Purple Surfboard. The faster you kill the more points/hour you'll get, however we won't be using booster because that's too much work and we only wanna buff Stance every 5 minutes.

You won't be performing one attack per key obviously, you'll be using the game macro skills:

​

But with a twist... what if I told you this macro isn't exactly 3 attacks per key but a range of 3 to 6 attacks per key. Yea because after each cast of power strike an additional attack can trigger with 60% success because of Final Attack, that's right up to 6 attacks per key!

​

Are you understanding what's going on? These are immovable characters that can attack up to 6 times with one key, in a map with high density of low level monsters. Be wise and place this macro skill in the same keyboard setting for all your characters.


How to farm


First of all keep your clients in order, make it easy for your hands, I recommend two clients top and two clients bottom, like forming a square so you'll only have to click in circles while using the game macro. Remember to use Stance every 5 minutes.

1. Stance and position characters.
2. Start attacking with each client, keep clicking in circles at a comfortable pace.
3. As soon as you see a event etc drop start a 2:20 minutes timer. A 2 minute skill works too.
4. Keep attacking with each client until the timer is up.

How to loot all that?

Spoiler: PET STUFF, IMPORTANT

Get two pets with the following equips, also make sure of doing the 'Kenta Advice' quest in Aquaroad for maximum pet speed, it's gonna help big if your looting character can buff the pets with haste or with a mount, your pets will loot insanely fast.

First pet

Second pet

Your attacker won't be attacking because it's a useless INT character (for now). Hold position at the very top of the map:

​

1. When timer is up jump down and loot top platform
2. Then position your character here, at the beginning of this rope:

​

3. Jump to the left and you'll land in mind platform, let your pets loot it all:

​

4. Jump bottom and loot everything
5. Return to your initial position making use of the Free Market button
6. Repeat: Start attacking again, start a timer, loot, repeat

*If you have some practice, it's possible to keep attacking while trying to loot.


A bit of history and conclusion


During the year 2020 Alyosha suggested me farming at Damp Forest using ultimate with one mage at top platform and using a single-target attacker to cover mid and bottom, I was amazed by the results compared to farming solo so I tried to optimize it more until it's current state. I've been doing this since Summer 2020 event in which I got 1st Place for farming with this technique, back then I managed to farm around 1.6 million NX worth of resets and I went harder on Christmas 2020 event where I managed to farm a bit more than 2 million NX worth of resets. My degenerate friends of Pasta have also been farming with me, special mention to akashsky fartsy 8TEEN PRADA Oradious who have farmed millions of NX for their attackers.

However what I've farmed isn't peak performance compared to what some GODLY farmers would be able to achieve with the proper knowledge, time and setup. Enjoy the technique, go full degen and finish washing your 30K HP attacker extremely fast whenever there's events with unlimited resets!
