I never thought I would be asking this, but does anyone know the best farming for… ROPES?
I am at 0 ropes after exhausting HA 3 and I would really like to tie a lot more stuff up in my kingdom. Appreciate any help!

You mean like this dedicated data farming guru who made an entire Farming Database for the E&P Community:
Normal time hit up 6-8 (or anywhere else in province 5, 6 or 7). During Atlantis, Hit up Province 11

Thank you!
I also wanted to use this topic as a vehicle to bring awareness to the community of the chronic rope shortages that will soon be facing all of us. Stay strong and support each other.

This thread made me check my stocks. Good thing I don’t use HA3 as my small stash of ropes would be depleted in less than 2 days straight non-stop.
It goes by quickly! I had about that much and now I’m at about 300 left 
7000ish was almost 2 years’ worth of stockpiling. I just did 4 runs of 6.8 and not one rope. It doesn’t seem to a very common crafting item
I guess HA3 will end up having very limited usage because of this shortage

I don’t use alchemy lab at all despite having it maxed, do you know if it could be created in any of those levels?
What’s the rope used for? I have only 1781. TIA. 
I guess you’re better off using HA7 instead, though it requires 45k food, 30 recruits, 5 wooden shields, 5 leather armors and 5 sharpening stones and training lasts for 9 hours.
One of the requirements in training 2* feeders at Hero Academy 3, each training requires 3 strong ropes, 8 recruits and 11k food. It also may be used to transmute in 6B to create rare farmable ascension mats and one of the most shards produced without using gems.

Wonderful, after 20 months I can train 600 x 2 stars. My cup runneth over… 
EDIT: everytime I read about the HA it sounds worse and worse…
Not really. While many a players detest Hero Academy, some players still do have the hope in them in getting past HOTMs and old event heroes, including legendaries from Atlantis. I belong to that group of players still hoping. On the bright side, it is the only structure where you can train troops and trainer heroes of various rarity. For now, I am working on HA10 (retrain legendary) and HA6 (train 3* troops), the latter allows me to store iron there. I just wish SG will allow players to use 3 different functions in HA, like what Alchemy Lab does.

This thread is actually super helpful to me as a new player. The excitement when getting rope now will be completely different 
Good to know what is to come, thank you!

So I tried out 6-8 over about 8 runs. The rope return was very poor (1 rope every 3-4 runs). I went back to my regular 5-8 farming and end up with 1 every 2 or 3 runs (sometiems 0, but sometimes multiple, including one run with 3).
I know it is a very small sample but personally I will do my rope hunting in 5-8 for the moment as it seems to have decent rope returns compared to 6-8 plus the backpacks, nugget and other drops are decent too.
