WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Explore all caves for rare stock and quest loot
Unexplored cave entrances across Vermund, Battahl, and Agamen Volcanic Island. Waterfall Cave, Trevo Mine, and Mountain Base Cave are examples of named entrances, not a required loot circuit.
Before you go
- Be able to travel through the region where the next unexplored entrance is located.
- Bring healing and a party suited to the local enemies, in case the entrance is not immediately safe.
- Keep enough inventory space for incidental items; loot collection is optional for this objective.
Farming steps
- Open the regional map and choose a cave entrance that you have not yet visited.
- Travel to the marked entrance and cross into the cave interior; a map marker alone does not register the discovery.
- Once inside, confirm the interior appears on your map, then leave if cave discovery is your only goal.
- Record the cave as visited and select another unentered entrance in the same region.
- When the regional route is exhausted, move to the next accessible region and repeat the entrance check.
- Review your history or achievement progress periodically to see how many cave discoveries remain.
- If you encounter a route too dangerous for your party, leave and return after improving your equipment or levels.
- Prioritize entering new caves over fully clearing familiar ones; exploration credit does not require reaching the exit.
- Keep discovery and item collection as separate checklists so a missed chest does not send you back to a cave you have already registered.
Repeat, collect and use
Each cave entrance contributes discovery only once. Continue visiting unentered caves until you reach your exploration target; revisiting known interiors does not create a repeatable reward loop.
Common mistakes
- Counting a cave marker without entering: go inside and verify the interior map appears.
- Clearing every chamber before moving on: a brief entry is sufficient for discovery, so leave once it registers if you are short on supplies.
- Assuming every cave contains a Ferrystone or quest item: this sweep is for cave discovery; pursue a specific item only when its location is confirmed.
When to stop or switch
Stop when your cave discovery target is complete or the remaining entrances are beyond your current safe reach. Switch to a named item route when you need a particular resource rather than more exploration credit.
