Minecraft Dungeons:Tutorials/Farming

There are various ways to automate or semi-automate the gathering of resources, and even more ways to efficiently and quickly find specific gear. Farming is the process of gathering the resources through the use of repetition and exploiting game mechanics.

Speedrun Farms
Skipping past mobs to get the completion reward, or reliably opening chests is often the fastest way to farm for gear. Using speed boosting items it's possible to speed through mobs and get the loot without fighting. Items and enchantments that work the best for this are

For the speed boost

To skip most of the enemies

To use if your speed boosting artifacts are still on cooldown

To roll and stun nearby enemies

(Or it's uniques: Ember Robe or Verdant Robe) Gives you a +15% speed boost and makes artifact cooldowns 40% faster

Makes your artifacts cooldown faster making them more usable

Lets you speed up by rolling

Whenever you use your artifacts, you will gain a bonus speed boost

has various skips with rolling and jumping over terrain. It used to be faster where it could be done in less than 30 seconds using an exploit to skip the puzzles. Mouse-clicking on the door to the chest room while pressing the gamepad's "activate" button ignores the wall normally opened by the puzzles. The exploit was patched by making the mouse cursor disappear when moving with the controller. With cross-platform out, this makes the game more fair for everyone playing together. The quickest way of obtaining the Obsidian Chest at the end of the mission is that players quickly go into the cave and enter the ambush room where the player can roll and skip through the iron fence. So he just need to complete the puzzle. However, there's one of the four maps doesn't have the bug to roll over the fence and the player has to survive the ambush.

has a secret obsidian chest near a gold chests and a. Run to the, past the locked door there is a sub-section containing the chests, but there is a bug where the obsidian chest room often cannot be entered, because of the incorrect camera angle. A bit further into the level after the sub-section there is a and a mini-boss (usually an ).

AFK Farms
Various Locations have an unlimited supply of enemies spawning and attacking you. Pumpkin Pastures has a section after the ambush at the bridge where two switches must be flipped to lower the drawbridge and continue. There are also various places where s appear, like the Redstone Mines.

Scripted
Auto-clickers and macro programs such as Auto Hot Key make it easy to run a script to fight and use abilities while away.

A simple Experience and Emeralds farming loadout discovered in beta uses in conjunction with the armor enchant Health Synergy

This can be expanded to be any Summons and the use of Health Synergy armor and optionally a. Since Summons do not provide souls, it is not possible to utilize.

Prospector increases the Emeralds quite a bit, so if automation is the method, holding attack while in a corner allows a player to attack enemies as they come, giving the prospector bonus.

Non-Scripted
Health Synergy armor and Final Shout can create an infinite loop, which heals you and activates your artifacts whenever you take enough damage. Of course this loadout still needs ways of killing mobs, so a summon or two can be great. Note: do not try this with powerful mobs, mini-bosses, or bosses as they will destroy you!

Mob Spawn farms
Spawner farms can be completed in multiple spots but some are better than others. In the Nether Fortress Blaze spawners are scattered through the level. Simply take a weapon with high damage and area (or a high damage bow with lots of arrows) and stand some distance away. A high power bow is the optional choice for blaze spawners. Melee weapons would damage the spawner and ruin the farm. Artifacts, spells, quivers ,soul spells, and hostile pets are strongly discouraged, because spells and artifacts could do major damage to the spawner breaking it. hostile pets (such as Iron golem, red and green sheep from enchanted grass, bee hives, bees spawned from armor enchantments such as rolling effects or damage, llamas, wolfs, and bats. They may lock on to spawners and destroy them without any way to stop your loyal farm destroyer. Zombie spawners are the most effective and efficient spawner farms, because it is usually found in a spacious area. TNT can help if your spawn farm becomes to overcrowded. It has a lower damage rate so it can be used.

Evoker and Illusioner farms
The Evoker can be a tricky farm to handle and it doesn't last long. The vex the Evoker spawns can be farmed briefly until you have to kill it. Illusioner farms are even trickier because of the danger and constant moving. The Illusioner's clones can help you level up faster and earn enchantment points, but it takes great skill and is only available briefly. These two farms are not simple to manage and are only to speed up the leveling process. These are inefficient and hard to locate.
