WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Headless or Tails in Nektulos Forest; Cadavers of the Corn in Thundering Steppes.
The 2026 Nights of the Dead event adds level 135 gear chances to Headless or Tails and Cadavers of the Corn. Their confirmed locations are Nektulos Forest and Thundering Steppes respectively. These are public activities, so join through the event marker or interface, complete the encounter it presents, and inspect the reward outcome. The stated chance is not a guarantee; use the activity for its event rewards rather than assuming every run grants gear.
Ability to reach either event zone and participate in its public quest.
Inventory space for event rewards and drops.
Choose Headless or Tails in Nektulos Forest or Cadavers of the Corn in Thundering Steppes.
Travel to the zone and locate the seasonal public quest marker or event interface.
Join the activity and read the current encounter objective before engaging.
Participate in the public quest until its completion state is shown.
Claim the reward presented by the event and inspect it for the level 135 gear or other desired item.
Check the event interface for the next available run and its reward status.
Repeat the activity only while it remains open and its possible rewards fit your character’s goal.
Farming tips
Use the zone choice that is easiest to reach or whose confirmed reward item you want; named additional rewards differ by activity.
Treat gear as a chance, not a guaranteed completion payout.
Repeat, collect and use
Seasonal public quests can be attempted while offered, but gear is a chance-based goal and availability ends with the event. No guaranteed gear-per-run is established.
Common mistakes
Expecting guaranteed level 135 gear can lead to frustration; inspect each reward and plan for unsuccessful attempts.
Traveling to the wrong zone wastes time; Headless or Tails is in Nektulos and Cadavers of the Corn is in Thundering Steppes.
Leaving before the completion and claim state can miss event rewards; confirm the interface marks the run complete.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you obtain the desired gear or other reward, or when the expected value of another seasonal run is no longer worthwhile.
