WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Campaign > highest consistently clearable chapter > Stage 3. Chapters 10 and 11 are examples of interim options; choose from the chapters actually open on your account.
Use Stage 3 of the hardest Campaign chapter your farmer can clear steadily to level food before Brutal 12-3 is practical. The best available chapter varies with your progress, so prioritize reliable completions over pushing into a stage that needs manual rescue. Runs provide Champion XP and campaign drops; level eligible food, rank it up in the Tavern, and use unwanted gear sales to fund upgrades.
Up to three food Champions you have checked for rarity, duplicates, and account value.
Open the highest Campaign chapter you can currently clear and select Stage 3.
Review the stage’s loot preview and difficulty before spending Energy.
If the farmer cannot complete it consistently, step back to Stage 3 of an earlier chapter.
Enter with one farmer and up to three food Champions; confirm the farmer can finish without help.
Repeat runs and check that the food Champions are gaining levels toward their current caps.
When food is ready, rank it up in the Tavern using Champions of the same rank, then add the next group to the team.
Review campaign gear drops: keep pieces that improve your farmer or roster, and sell unwanted gear for Silver.
Farming tips
A dependable lower chapter is a better bridge than repeated failures on the farthest unlocked chapter.
Use the client’s preview to compare available stages; do not assume every Stage 3 has the same drops or XP.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable with Energy. Cycle eligible food through leveling and Tavern rank-ups as needed; this is an interim route, so it has no fixed completion count.
Common mistakes
Pushing into a stage the farmer cannot finish reliably; move back until runs complete consistently.
Assuming Stage 3 rewards are identical across chapters or difficulties; check the selected stage’s preview.
Sacrificing a Champion without checking its rarity, duplicate uses, or faction value; reserve only Champions you have confirmed are safe to use as food.
When to stop or switch
Move to Brutal 12-3 when it is unlocked and your farmer clears it reliably. Switch to masteries or dungeon gear sooner if those are the more immediate roster bottleneck.
