WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Act 3: Darkmoor, through the 20:00 Lady of the Lake encounter.
Darkmoor is the released Act 3 route in this edition, with Frog King at 7:00, Scarecrow at 14:00 and Lady of the Lake at 20:00. These checkpoints offer boss rewards and progress toward Tier 3 equipment. Act 4 remains in development in the stated edition scope, so Lady of the Lake is the route’s current endpoint here.
Bring a build with dependable boss damage, area coverage and mobility.
Approach each checkpoint with enough room to evade its hazards.
Start a Darkmoor run and build through early waves without spending every escape option.
Before 7:00, reach open ground for Frog King; move out of poison and slam zones and respond to its breath attack.
Collect the first checkpoint reward and assess whether the run can continue.
Before 14:00, prepare for Scarecrow’s projectiles and thorn hazards; keep moving around open parts of the arena.
Clear dangerous summons if they cut off your movement, then resume attacking the boss.
If the run remains stable, prepare for Lady of the Lake at 20:00 and attack after her slash patterns rather than crossing into them repeatedly.
Collect the actual rewards and inspect Tier 3 equipment after the run.
Farming tips
Act 3 boss behavior has changed across patches; use the current in-game telegraphs and keep an escape route open.
A Frog King or Scarecrow checkpoint can still advance a Tier 3 farming run if the final fight is not yet reliable.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat Darkmoor runs for checkpoint rewards and variable equipment. Act 4 is not a live route in this scope; do not continue beyond the released Act 3 content.
Common mistakes
Treating older attack timing as guaranteed current behavior; respond to the present telegraphs.
Pushing to Lady of the Lake after a dangerous early fight; stop at a valuable checkpoint if needed.
Assuming fixed Act 3 Essence or equipment quantities; inspect the in-game result.
When to stop or switch
Stop when Lady of the Lake is defeated or when the run is no longer safe to continue; repeat Darkmoor for further Tier 3 opportunities.
