WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Loot Train after Tinder Snowflake in Frost Bottom, How Marcus Saved Mercenary Day.

The Mercenary Day Loot Train produces multiple items after Tinder Snowflake falls. Sorting the haul before selling lets you retain upgrades and convert the rest into cash. The boss and train are part of a paid Headhunter pack, and the loop only makes sense if you can access that content.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Own and unlock the How Marcus Saved Mercenary Day Headhunter content.
  • Reach Tinder Snowflake’s arena and be able to defeat the boss.
  • Have inventory capacity for several drops.
  1. Travel from Marcus’s Mercenary Shop to Frost Bottom.
  2. Enter the arena, ring the bell, and defeat Tinder Snowflake.
  3. Open the Loot Train chests and collect the items you want to evaluate.
  4. Compare each item with your equipped weapons, shields, and build needs.
  5. Keep upgrades and move unwanted items to inventory if possible.
  6. Visit a vending machine and sell the surplus gear for cash.

Farming tips

  • Leave room in your pack before the run so you can collect more saleable items.
  • Check item levels and useful attributes before selling; rarity alone does not determine whether a piece fits your character.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat by defeating Tinder Snowflake and opening the train again; save-quit and return to reset the encounter. Cash depends on which items you sell.

Common mistakes

  • Selling gear before comparing it with your build; inspect the whole haul first.
  • Assuming the train is available without the Mercenary Day pack; it is DLC-gated.
  • Leaving items behind due to a full inventory; free space before returning to the arena.

When to stop or switch

Stop when you have the cash you need or the haul no longer offsets the time spent; keep any remaining useful upgrades.
