WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm Tavern forge after a campaign or Survival run.
Weapon drops can be useful even when you do not equip them: surplus gear sold at the Tavern forge becomes mana. Build a deliberate inventory routine so you retain current upgrades and planned gear, then sell items that no active hero needs. That mana can pay for item improvements or support future mission defenses.
Before you go Collect weapons from missions or rewards. Know which heroes and builds need equipment before selling. Have access to the Tavern inventory and forge. Return to the Tavern after a farming run and open the inventory or forge selling interface. Review weapons against the equipment worn by each active hero and builder. Keep weapons that improve a role, provide a useful alternative, or are reserved for a planned build. Lock protected items if the interface provides that option, so they are not sold accidentally. Select only clear surplus weapons and sell them through the forge. Check the mana total after the transaction. Spend proceeds on a useful weapon upgrade or retain mana for defense building on the next map. Farming tips Compare a weapon’s relevant stats and upgrade potential rather than judging only its displayed damage. Sell high-value surplus first when you only need enough mana for a particular upgrade. Repeat, collect and use Repeat after each loot run; selling is an ongoing conversion loop, and the inventory’s contents and sale value vary.
Common mistakes Selling a planned build weapon: mark or lock it before bulk cleanup. Selling equipment without checking all heroes: compare against each character’s current slot. Spending the proceeds immediately on a marginal item: reserve mana for a meaningful upgrade or mission setup. When to stop or switch Stop selling once you have the mana needed for your next planned upgrade and no clearly unwanted weapons remain.
