Atlantis farming

i dont have any hard data but 2/1/9 seems like a decent place to farm, anyone else have thoughts or data on this? not great for recruits but does seem to be a decent place for kits along with a decent monster count for chests. i hit it about 6 times then hit 8-7 3 times and chest is full.

7-4 continues to be best level for chest filling. Just monsters, not counting anything else

I did 6-10 hard with Kiril, Tiburtus, Boril, Little John and Chao. All maxed.

Items loaded:

small healing potion,
small mana potion,
medium mana potion,
bombs ( could use axes )

Only used a few healing potions if they ganged up on one hero.

bombs and medium mana potions were for emergencies which didnt happen. :smile:

My approach on farming S2 has been based on vanity more than efficiency/results…I’ve been farming levels to complete the avatar missions :rofl: … after I fill a monster chest in the S1 3-flag zone.

So I have yet to actually farm the hard levels. I have completed them all for the coins, but didn’t need to use battle items. (I did discover that autofarming the hard levels was a mistake, after wasting 10WE a time or two, oopsie!)

I’m still hoping for other good farming levels to be unlocked; while the recruits/WE are acceptable, province 6 features practice swords, my least favorite of the usable 1* ascension items, meaning more of them at the expense of backpacks and rugged clothes. (I wish that province 1 with backpacks featured had more recruits someplace)

In a couple more days there are three more levels opening up.

I just did a random farming S2 1-2 hard to kill some undead dudes.

Yes that says 8 backpacks! Highest I have seen yet.

[Atlantis] Farming

Based on 23-9 loot ( linky, linky ) and 23-11 loot ( linky, linky ) or ( linky, linky ) if you can farm 23-9 or 23-11 manually, autoplay or loot tickets, Season 2 stages need the following to be better:

Normal ( 6 WE )
2414 XP
3977 food
8679 iron
10 items ( heroes, troops, ingredients )

Hard ( 10 WE )
4024 XP
6628 food
14465 iron
18 items ( heroes, troops, ingredients )

I am starting to warm to s1-12-9. I can use my s1-7-7 farming team ( both have Yellow bosses and some/ all yellow mobs ) and its stats compare well to s1-7-7

s1-7-7, s1-12-9, increase
3 WE, 4 WE, x1.33

707 XP, 1387 XP, x1.96
1454 food, 2402 food, x1.65
2974 iron, 5436 iron, x1.82
8 recruits, 9 recruits, x1.125 ( less than x1.33 )

Bonus String, Bonus Oil, n/a
Bonus Rugged Clothes, Bonus ( Strong rope & Arcane scripts ), n/a

I do all my farming comparisons in xx/flag instead of straight values, otherwise I get confused. I extracted data from a few levels for comparison purposes, including various S1 favorites and the most promising ones from S2 provinces 1-6 (7-9 is likely to have something of value, but I don’t have sufficient data yet)

Level XP Food Iron Rec AK PS RC Items
S1: 5-8 154 353 718 1.97 0.27 0.16 0.14 2.62
S1: 6-8 207 421 880 2.95 0.12 0.15 0.14 2.62
S1: 7-7 236 483 1024 2.63 0.13 0.12 0.35 2.71
S1: 8-7 272 553 1194 3.01 0.18 0.16 0.19 2.68
S1: 12-9 347 614 1384 2.50 0.20 0.18 0.17 2.46
S1: 23-11 405 666 1448 1.43 0.14 0.22 0.15 2.26
S2: 1-2 Norm 242 510 1089 1.65 0.26 0.13 0.15 2.50
S2: 1-7 Hard 261 476 1021 1.59 0.37 0.10 0.11 2.48
S2: 4-3 Hard 289 507 1171 1.78 0.15 0.14 0.32 2.59
S2: 4-9 Norm 282 590 1155 1.71 0.13 0.11 0.28 2.57
S2: 6-9 Norm 297 608 1198 2.50 0.18 0.24 0.13 2.53
S2: 6-10 Hard 315 586 1274 2.29 0.12 0.33 0.11 2.60

Curiously, in S2, the relative quality doesn’t (usually) match between Normal and Hard. I didn’t include the one I saw as “worse”.

None of these S2 levels are better than S1: 12-9 in XP, Food, Iron, or Recruits, 'tho 6-10 hard matches it in recruits.

In fact, these levels which are among the best of S2 recruits wise and they don’t exceed S1: 23-11 by much, which I have long considered to have unacceptably low recruits for farming. The great majority of S2 has recruits that bad or worse!

==Praise==

This is awesome.

==Recruits==

I am still getting different values than you for recruits in s1-7-7, s1-8-7 and s1-12-9. I wish we know the actual percentages on the recruit loot roll.

s2-6-9-N seems to indicate:

1/3: X -1
1/3: X
1/3: X +1

X= base recruit drop.

Every level I’ve examined, I’ve seen that X-1 / X / X+1 pattern. I’ve not looked carefully to see if the three are always equally distributed.

Item drops, troop drops, feeder hero drops, food, and iron all follow other patterns / distributions, with items varying much more widely. (XP seems fixed per level)

I stopped farming on Atlantis
Back to the original map, visting 5-8 and picking up my nuggets :slight_smile:

Atlantis didnt prove to be worthed farming, after checking all my runs on both maps 8-7 still proves to be one of the best

It says season 2 stage 9 there are greater chances of dragon bones, but they seem to drop more on 8-7 for me, plus all the recruits etc…

Randomness is what is in game here, do you pay 10 flags or 3 flags for a random drop?
I ve had great runs on atlantis with 1 nugget and 2 roots, but these also have dropped on 5-8 and 8-7.

@BarryWuzHere, @Gryphonknight, do you guys ever compare your data to Mai’s guide?

I spent a lot of energy for season 2, but it looks like season 1 is a bit better for me.

I don’t care about forge ingredients. What I’m after are troops and feeding heroes. All my TC produce only 1s / 2s heroes (lvl 1,2,11,19). Besides I have more than enough recruits cause of some extra drop from raiding. Where is the best place to farm food for heroes? At the moment I do 5-6 all the time cause of backpacks and 1s/2s hero drop.

Heroes drop randomly, with what seems to be equal odds in any location. Therefore pick a place with low WE cost and that gets you the other farmables you want and camp out.

Troops and heroes are an rng thing.

Season 2 drops twice less heroes

Just realized you are a (thick accent) smart guy ( linky, linky)

s1-12-9 is also a good stage for farming 3* ascension items for 4* 4.1 / 5* 3.1 .

I need much more string and Rugged clothes ( s1-7-7 ) then farmable 3* ascension items, but I still need some 3* farmable ascension items and s1-8-7 and s1-7-7 do not drop them as loot.

2.4-10N gives +19% more XP per world energy than 1.7-7.
2.4-10N gives only 1.5 recruits per energy while 1.7-7 gives 2.666 recruits per energy.

2.4-10H gives +25% more XP per world energy than 1.7-7.
2.4-10H only 1.5 recruits per energy while 1.7-7 gives 2.666 recruits per energy.

1.7-7 drops more Rugged clothes and String.
1.7-7 does not drop Scabbards, Chainmail shirts or Tall Boots while 2.4-10 does drop them.

2.4-10 drops more Rugged clothes and Fine steel, but still tracking the number. I have got up to 4x Rugged clothes from one run of 2.4-01N and up to 5x Rugged clothes from one run of 2.4-10H

After reading this:

Started auto farming 2.4-8N and using loot tickets on 2.4-8H when I need XP and Rugged clothes, but not recruits.

So is the general consensus that eight 7 on both Atlantis and regular season is the best

Season 2, 1-9 is great for Backpacks and during the Atlantis event it is just 5 Energy. A good place to farm normal, a great place during Atlantis Event.

It was my go to atlantis stage before atlantis rising was a thing

Now somehow i end up with plenty of kits when I’m more focused on craft mats than kits

12-6 and 19-1 are the stages i farm in atlantis these days but i also spend 300 to 400 loot tickets every AR and idk how common that is

you asked if there was a google sheet out there with some data on farming. Link below is the best I’ve seen. Easy reference if you’re farming XP, recruits, items, monsters, etc.
