WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Shadow Vault endless dungeon after finishing the campaign.

The Shadow Vault is an endless post-campaign dungeon route. Clearing floors provides combat drops and lets you continue deeper, but the challenge rises as you descend. Treat the goal as a sustainable progression run: gather usable equipment, watch whether enemies are taking longer or hitting harder, and stop before a risky floor turns a productive session into a defeat. The available research supports the broad route, not a precise floor-by-floor reward schedule.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Finish the campaign and reach postgame access.
  • Equip a build that can handle the current floor.
  • Bring enough potions and leave inventory room for drops.
  1. Enter the Shadow Vault and assess the first floor’s enemy pressure.
  2. Clear enemies in a controlled path and collect useful drops as you go.
  3. Defeat any encountered boss or elite before advancing if the route requires it.
  4. Compare new equipment to your current setup and keep only likely upgrades or useful items.
  5. Continue to the next floor while damage and survivability remain manageable.
  6. Return to town or stop the run when the next floor is no longer safe or rewarding.

Farming tips

  • Deeper progress raises difficulty; the best stopping point is the deepest floor you can clear consistently.
  • Use the run to assess your build as well as collect loot; a defensive upgrade can be more valuable than pushing farther.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat or resume the endless progression after a safe return. Floor loot is random, and no specific item is guaranteed.

Common mistakes

  • Pushing deeper after survival becomes unreliable; stop and upgrade before continuing.
  • Ignoring inventory space and leaving useful drops behind; sell or store between runs.
  • Expecting a fixed reward at a particular depth; treat each floor as a variable loot opportunity.

When to stop or switch

End the run when enemies threaten a defeat, consumables are low, or drops no longer justify the risk; return after improving equipment.
