Where are you farming gold?

[Tommy]

I've been playing the game religiously for the past two and half weeks and have tried various gold farms I.E Valby run, Echo Swamp, Sterile Land. I don't really know what's the best right now, would love to hear what you guys think.

i do special operations, with consumable drop rate in external components or gold/kiefer drop rate. u will have a chance to easily get mark for arrests drops with 1million gold in some runs

The best currently is Expected ambush site on the sterile grounds. Usually a bunny or two there and you can just press start for them and every half a dozen missions or so just go collect loot and gold.

I know there are "better" places, but I like to farm my gold/xp/kuper in White Knight Gulch, Fortress Outskirts. My bunny can clear in about 4+ mins. Netting over 100k gold, a few thousand kuper, tons of weapons/mods and of course you can also get vault codecs.

It's like farming the Ambush mission in Sterile Land but with out the constant resets.

If you have a friend that can sit at the mission hub and keep restarting, then Ambush will net more resources.. otherwise, I recommend WKG:FO.

*You also get mats for the crystallization catalyst in WKF:FO

I might try this I haven't spent like any time in the special operations, mainly because i did the one in Kingston and it was so unbelievably boring so i haven't touched it.

Usually sterile land, if you have a good team you can try special operations, the last wave usually have a good reward.

Tested it out there, nowhere near as fast a farm as Ambush, not even close. But the extra resources were nice.

Indeed, if you have additional players. Ambush is the way to go.
*Even without boosters, having even one extra player to reset mission will give 30k+ every 30 seconds.

At no point do they mention it was faster. One a good clear though its ~2 min and over 200k gold plus some kiper. It not a bad spot. I can go from lvl 1-40 in around 30 min. Do not finish then mission. Once the last pole / elite is killed just abort and restart.

Abandoned Refinery in Echo Swamp. Drops plenty of gold, kuiper, and code breakers. Also get a decent number of red mods with a gold perk on the external unit. Should be clearing it in 30ish seconds with a good bunny and there's no spawn delay on enemies like the timed crap in Ambush.

VALBY RUN. (for now) is by FAR. the best area to get, EXP, SHARDS, GOLD, equipment/module dismantle materials.

doing the Spec Ops take literally 1 hour just to complete. and ive done swamp from start to finish (full squad) with my Ult bunny at level 1. just BARELY, reach level 30 with EXP equipment boost.

the other two people mention, Sterile land ambush is the worst, and would avoid, unless you have a private party and have someone, whose constantly activating the mission once its done.
Kuiper mining base is the slowest. i did the math, its 5mins long. and the rewards are the SAME as Valby farm, but in 5mins. vs Valby farm thats 2:30mins or 2:40mins if you can start it fast.

Mob density and spawn rate is a bit too sparse with anticipated ambush point, though. It has the same issue as Bunny Cave does where the downtime between spawns/resets severelly hampers any lead you might get from denser spawn waves in regards to gold and/or xp farming.

You're not going to get better than abandoned refinery unit in echo swamp. 30 seconds in and out with bunny. No waiting for spawns anywhere, everything spawns as fast as you can clear it.

I've seen someone on youtube making a comparison betwen Refinery, AAP, and Kuiper Mine and the conclusion was Refinery>AAP>KuiperMine, with the caveat that if you have a dedicated resetter person for AAP but not for Refinery then AAP wins out.
I'm not a thorough guy with spreadsheets and all but from my many hours checking out all of them trying to look for something better than Refinery unit I have arrived at the same conclusion that it is simply the best out of the three.


Now, if you have other things you wish to do on the side like grinding XP on weapons for MR gains and maybe also want some void shards on the side then I recommend you try Sterile Land's block kuiper mining specops mission. It's not amazing for gold by any means but you do get a fair bit of everything for 10 minutes per run with a bunny or two in the group. Doubling or even tripling up on your farming outputs is in itself an efficiency increase even if you don't care about the shards or the experience at this very moment. Not to mention you also get some amorphous and shape stabilizers alongside marks of arrest. It's just a good all around mission. I am also thoroughly convinced this is the best xp-per-minute mission in the game, even trumping over bunny cave and the gimmicky non-attribute void shard reset spot in vespers. (for reasons I've explained earlier; I don't think the average playerbase are quite aware bunny cave is actually not that good besides the afk convenience)

Following the same pattern, Hagios' spec-ops mission is also fairly decent if you don't mind trading gold farming efficiency for a fair chunk of void shards per clear as a bonus.



TLDR: Abandoned Refinery Unit is what you want to be doing for gold target-farming. If for some reason you don't like it then Anticipated Ambush Point is your other option.

Hagios Special Operation.

These usually run very quickly, taking less than 20 mins. On paper they make about 250,000 but in practice there is far more gold to be picked up off the floor, so the actual prize is about 750,000.

You also get a ton of shards and xp on characters and weapons.

I don't farm gold, I have more than I need. About 90m at the moment, with another 15+ million in bounty items.

I usually level my characters/weapons at Block Kuiper Mining (Sterile lands). It naturally gave me those millions.
