Resource Hunter TLP Routes

Resource Hunter zone bonus scouting

On Frostreaver TLP, use the day’s randomized bonus to choose a zone that advances a specific farming or progression goal.

PC / Global Live servers; excludes TLP routes unless explicitly labeled
WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Eligible zones on Frostreaver TLP, identified by the daily Resource Hunter messages and the in-zone bonus hint.

Resource Hunter is a Frostreaver progression-server ruleset, not a Live server feature. Each day it randomly assigns bonuses to eligible zones, with a new selection at midnight Pacific. The zone list and bonus type can change, repeat, or disappear; scouting means reading the current announcement and in-zone hint, then matching a bonus to a real goal such as experience, loot, coin, or rare NPC hunting.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • A character on Frostreaver TLP; ordinary Live characters do not receive this ruleset.
  • A goal that corresponds to an available bonus, such as leveling, loot, coin, or a rare spawn.
  • A zone your character can safely enter and use.
  1. At or after the daily cycle, read the chat and on-screen Resource Hunter announcement for the zones assigned bonuses.
  2. Select a listed zone whose bonus type serves your current objective and whose level range suits your character.
  3. Enter the zone and wait for its in-zone message to identify the active bonus category.
  4. For combat or reward bonuses, kill a suitable NPC and check the group message to confirm the effect is active.
  5. Choose a camp or harvest activity within that zone based on the confirmed category; do not assume the bonus amount.
  6. Track the output relevant to your goal, such as experience, coin, loot, or access to a rare NPC.
  7. Recheck announcements after the next daily change before carrying the same plan into another session.

Farming tips

  • Use the hint to identify the category; the system does not reveal the bonus magnitude.
  • The selection is random rather than a fixed rotation, so avoid planning around a zone returning tomorrow.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat the scouting and zone selection each day you play; bonuses rerandomize at midnight Pacific and may not recur in the same place.

Common mistakes

  • Applying Resource Hunter to Live: this route is Frostreaver-specific.
  • Assuming a known daily rotation: read that day’s announcements each time.
  • Settling before verifying the in-zone hint: confirm the category before committing to the camp.

When to stop or switch

Switch zones when the bonus no longer matches your objective, you finish the target, or a new daily selection changes the useful option.
