Best farming spot?!

Here, I'll contribute towards this idea of using grubs and relics to get geo. Check out this map:

https://rainingchain.com/hollowknight/map

You want to start off by clicking on the "None" button and then individually clicking on the "items" checkbox and the "Geo & Soul Totems" checkbox. Check these areas in-game to pick up what you need and then grind at the aforementioned areas for whatever you have left. You could even kill things along the way as part of your grind so as to get you there even faster. I hope by offering alternative methods to get geo and not strictly addressing farming spots only, I'm still doing the original poster a service so as to keep the experience from getting stale.

Can't say never really needed to farm just rescue grubs the father drops ton's of geo also sell artifacts you find.

depends, how far are you into the game.
People suggest these farming spots:
- greenpath where the two moss knights spawn
- city of tears, rich bugs near the King's Station are plentiful
- for super late game - Trial of the Fool

Not his question.

I'd say a spot in a green path just before the hornet fight. You can find 2 Moss Knights with a bench 1 room down 1 over. Very Ez to farm.

If late game there's some bugs on kingdoms edge that drop about 35 geo per kill. Great late game farm.

It answered somewhat rescuing grubs nets you huge amounts of geo.

Rescuing runs is a procedural way to earn Geo. You won't really exactly know how much you're going to get and you can't rinse and repeat since you'll eventually run out or have to go to a new area.

Id say you get a pretty decent amount let's just say it's another option besides farming one location.

I'm guessing the OP didn't ask for a good farming spot purely for the sake of doing a repetitive task. Visiting the grubfather and selling those relics are a good place to start so as to shorten the actual farming time as much as possible. Not to mention the task feels less tedious if you continue exploring and progressing through the game normally instead of refreshing the same room over and over.

That said, he might actually have nothing left to do but grind. I can see this being a possibility for the Divine's charm upgrades. In which case, it's still a good idea to get that chunk of geo out of the way first so you at least know how much you have to grind to get what you want (and spend less time doing it).

He asked for a spot not an obj throughout the game which is collect grubs. Implying he wants an area he can run through and get some geo quickly.
The author of this topic has marked a post as the answer to their question.

Thank you guys you've been very helpful

Area directly below and left of the Colloseum. Hoppers drop 23 Geo with the Greed charm, respawn when you leave and enter the screen and that area has 3 groups of 3 packed fairly close together. With optimized gear and a little practice, you can kill 6 of them every ~18 seconds, which is over 25,000 Geo per hour. Nobody should ever need that kind of Geo, but if you do, there it is.

Can you grind grubs early game? No. Mid game? No. Late game somewhat but by then you should already have lots of grubs. Ou collect grubs as you go not wait till the end as so it. He's looking for a spot he can sit down and a farm not something you can grind as you go. Sure late grub collecting may get you tons of geo but it's my really farming. Your better off doing the trial of the fool. Takes less time than running around the map and grabbing all the grubs you can.

omg are you seriously criticizing me for offering the player help? Can you just be quiet and find something else to argue about?
