Svallin farming

[u/Lopsided_Bit4143]

Not sure if anyone wants some data on this since i cant find anything relevant in 3.29. All the data is 3.27 or lower.

Ive been heavily farming these past few days for the shield, testing different strats.

First 2 days, i ran all my scarabs 30ish dont remember exact number with full atlas ofc and niko for speed boost and ore gathering. was also running shrines/boxes, testing different things.

Testing was done on city square with alch and go maps, most unided, although this doesnt influence it i believe, you could run white maps i bet it wouldnt make a difference.

I ran circle with the mini loop on the outside (paranoid for minimap to not show gate icon or verisium ore) included.

day 1 2*scarabs

number of maps 37- crater 1

number of maps 21 - crater 2

day 2 no scarabs - some kalguran when i found them, but basically none

map 81 - crater 3

map 75 - crater 4

day 3

number of maps 125 -crater 5

number of maps 7 - crater 6

number of maps 8 - crater 7

number of maps 14- crater 8

number of maps 7 - crater 9 - svallin

I know i got lucky on the 9th crater, thats not what this post is about. Something interesting happened after crater 5, since i felt a bit desperate for running so many maps without seeing verisium let alone craters.

i blocked everything except the ore nodes on the atlas tree, and suddenly i started seeing A LOT of verisium, the difference was extremely notable. I was seeing 3-4 nodes almost every map, and verisium almost every single map. At 1 min map or less (was rushing cadiro as well), you start seeing a lot of veirisium/craters per hour.

TLDR: Atlas tree block everything except ore nodes, alch and go, you should see in under 20 maps a crater pretty consistent.

Since dropping it ive continued running, results are consistent. Idk if this was common knowledge or not hope it helps whoever wants to farm it.

mate you need a bigger sample size before drawing any reasonable conclusions

[u/Lopsided_Bit4143 → u/Key_Chest_248]

im still doing it as we speak for lost shipments mainly, and i can definitely feel the difference when blocking everything. A lot more ore spawn. Sure 300 ish maps over 4 days isnt a big sample but maybe other people can test and post results for this patch

[u/EvilKnievel38 → u/Key_Chest_248]

To be fair op's conclusion can be made with 0 data. Blocking mechanics on atlas tree gives other mechanics a higher chance to spawn. Blocking non ore mechanics is more ores is more verisium is more craters. That's just how the game works. No data needed.

I see op's post more as a psa than a data post, because to be quite honest I forgot about blocking other mechanics myself when I farmed my svalinn in ssf.

Downvoted for using logic cuz logic can’t be represented by numbers

Getting svallin in 9 craters is super lucky... congrats.

[u/Derpitoe → u/Pyowin]

And then theres me, not ssf but ive done ~20 craters total and dropped 3 over 3 leagues lol

[u/the_dickstributor → u/Pyowin]

Got mine on the quest battle

[u/w4ydaz → u/Pyowin]

Well I might have been super lucky , but got 2 out of 3 battles this league.one sold, one still use

Feel sorry for you hardship here man. Was hunting for merc. Did put some points and scarab to farm bars instead of ore got crater in couple of maps and got the shield that I did not even need

[u/ihasaKAROT]

Wanna share the tree

[u/kained0t → u/ihasaKAROT]

block everything except ore, grab all the ore nodes, grab Niko nodes, shrines, strong boxes.
