Campaign XP and food
Hardest available Chapter 3 leveling
Provides an interim food-leveling route before Brutal 12-3 is accessible or reliable.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Hardest available Chapter 3 leveling
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.
Before you go
- Access to the chosen chapter’s Stage 3.
- A Champion who can carry that stage reliably.
- Up to three food Champions you have checked for rarity, duplicates, and account value.
Farming steps
- 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.
- 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.
