WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Mapworks Portals appearing in campaign areas, with scrolls available as a Contract reward opportunity.

Mapworks Portals appear during the campaign and let you replay campaign dungeons, including their boss encounters. This makes them useful when you want additional combat and loot between story objectives or while looking for general equipment upgrades. Portal runs do not guarantee a named item; they create another chance to receive gear from enemies and boss rewards. Choose a route you can finish, collect the useful drops, and return to the campaign or another portal when the route stops being worthwhile.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Progress through the campaign until Mapworks Portals appear, or claim a Mapworks scroll from Contracts if offered.
  • Select a dungeon route you can clear safely.
  • Bring enough inventory space to inspect the haul.
  1. Find an available portal in the campaign area or use a claimed scroll to open a route.
  2. Check which dungeon the portal connects to and enter it.
  3. Clear the dungeon’s enemies as you follow the route to its boss.
  4. Defeat the boss and inspect its reward area for equipment and other useful drops.
  5. Collect items you want to compare, then equip upgrades or keep them for later use.
  6. Use another portal or return to campaign progression when you want a different activity.

Farming tips

  • Use a familiar dungeon when you want a predictable route through campaign content.
  • Contracts and Mapworks complement each other: a Contract may provide a scroll, while the portal run supplies its own combat loot chances.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeatable when portals or Mapworks scrolls are available; drops remain random and route access can vary.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting a scroll from every Contract: check the actual reward track before planning around one.
  • Assuming a portal guarantees campaign gear of a chosen type: inspect drops but keep expectations general.
  • Confusing this with Fazeer’s card-based challenges: Mapworks is campaign dungeon replay content.

When to stop or switch

Switch to another portal or the campaign when the route is no longer useful; after campaign completion, consider Fazeer for structured postgame runs.
