Best Farming Perks by Goal
A farming setup should match the reward being farmed. Lucky Looter is best when the goal is special item drops from enemies, while Gold Hoarder is best when the goal is more Gold from supported sources.
Farming Goal | Recommended Perk | Why It Helps |
|---|---|---|
Special Item Drops | Multiplicatively increases the drop rates of special items from enemies. | |
Gold Farming | Increases Gold dropped from enemies, world events, and scavenger hunts. | |
Movement Speed | Increases movement speed by the perk value. | |
Movement After Kills | Grants Swiftness after defeating enemies. | |
Normal Mob Clearing | Increases damage dealt to normal mobs, with a listed damage-taken tradeoff. | |
Elite Mob Farming | Increases damage dealt to elite mobs, with a listed damage-taken tradeoff. | |
Ultimate Charge | Increases passive ultimate charge rate and energy gained from defeating enemies. |
Best Perk for Special Item Farming
Lucky Looter is the best documented perk for special item farming. It multiplicatively increases the drop rates of special items from enemies.
Lucky Looter is most useful when the player is farming enemies for special item drops. It should not be confused with Gold Hoarder, which improves Gold drops instead of special item drop rates.
Best Perk for Gold Farming
Gold Hoarder is the best documented perk for Gold farming. The supplied data lists Gold Hoarder as increasing Gold dropped from enemies, world events, and scavenger hunts.
Gold Hoarder is a farming utility perk, not a damage perk. It is best used when earning more Gold is more important than clearing faster or dealing more damage.
Best Movement Perks for Farming
Agility is the simplest movement perk because it increases movement speed directly. It is useful for travel, repositioning, and general farming comfort.
Master Thief is stronger when the player is defeating enemies frequently. It grants 5 seconds of Swiftness after defeating enemies, and the movement speed boost can last up to 10 seconds.
Movement Perk | Range | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
2% - 10% | Consistent movement speed. | |
10% - 35% | Movement after defeating enemies. |
Best Damage Perks for Farming Mobs
Mob Slayer is the most direct perk for normal mob farming because it increases damage dealt to normal mobs. It also increases damage taken from normal and elite mobs, so players should consider survivability before using it.
Elite Assassin is the better choice when elite mobs are the focus. It increases damage dealt to elite mobs, but also increases damage taken from elite mobs.
For general farming where enemy types vary, Attack UP may be easier to use because it increases damage dealt without a listed enemy-type restriction.
Best Ultimate Charge Farming Perk
Energized is the best documented perk for farming with more frequent ultimate charge. It multiplicatively increases passive ultimate charge rate and energy gained from defeating enemies.
The supplied data lists default energy charge as 0.5% per second and 1% per kill. Energized is best when faster ultimate access makes farming smoother or safer.
Best Sustain Perks for Long Farming
Long farming sessions can benefit from sustain or defensive utility. Vampiric is the best documented sustain perk because it can damage enemies and heal the player during its effect.
HP UP, Damage Reduction, and Bonus Health Regen can also support safer farming, depending on whether the player needs more health, direct damage reduction, or recovery-focused utility.
Best Farming Perk Combinations
A strong farming setup usually combines reward utility with speed or damage. For example, Lucky Looter helps with special item drops, while Agility or Master Thief can make routes and clearing feel smoother.
Farming Setup | Useful Perks |
|---|---|
Special Item Farming | |
Gold Farming | |
Mob Clearing | |
Safer Farming |
Farming Perks vs Legacy Perks
Players should use current documented perk ranges when planning farming setups. Old or removed perk information should be checked through Unobtainable Gear Perks, Legacy Weapon Perk Ranges, Legacy Armor Perk Ranges, and Legacy Pet Perk Ranges.
Legacy values should not be treated as current farming targets unless updated data confirms they are still obtainable.
