WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Active Monoliths zone after defeating Maxare’xek the Mad.

Maxare’xek the Mad grants a one-hour damage buff in the event zone when defeated. This short route is useful when the boss is available at the start of a session; use the remaining duration on local campaign tasks and encounters.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

Level 20 or higher and access to the active event zone.
A live Maxare’xek spawn and enough nearby players to defeat it.
Local event objectives to use the buff on.

Check the event panel and enter the currently active zone.
Look for Maxare’xek the Mad or a group fighting the roaming boss.
Join and help defeat the boss, following its visible encounter cues.
Collect the credited reward and verify the one-hour damage buff appears.
Choose nearby local objectives from the campaign challenge list.
Complete those objectives while the buff is active.
Switch activities when the buff expires or your local targets are finished.

Farming tips

The spawn is periodic, so do not let waiting for it consume a session when other objectives are available.
The buff applies within the zone; plan local activities before leaving the area.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat whenever a new boss spawn is available and you want another buff. The buff itself is temporary and cannot be farmed on demand.

Common mistakes

Assuming the buff applies outside the zone: stay in the event region to benefit.
Waiting indefinitely for a boss: do other tasks if it is not present.
Forgetting to verify the buff: check status effects before planning the one-hour route.
