Enchanting Tips
Farming and Collecting for the Upgrades
Collecting resources for upgrades can be tedious and seem like an endless grind, but it is not. The most important part of farming resources on main is to make it easy for yourself and efficient, such as using portals between locations. It is not allowed to block resources, but it is allowed to make them more accessible for you. An easy example of this is chaining portals between locations such as dragon egg spawns.
This tactic works for most of the enchanting upgrades, both resources and trophies.
Very important note here is seeker soldier trophies:
The stars on Sunshine Alley give increased drop chances on trophies. This means farming for these soldiers on main is A LOT easier than on the progression server. Don’t believe me? Here is one example:
First of all, Gunne in the Infested Mine Hub gives out a quest, when you have killed 10 seeker soldiers, you get a free trophy. Let's say you go to Infested Mine Hub and kill 10 4-star seeker soldiers. This should yield you, after 20 kills, a total of 4 trophies. This is because the normal drop rate of a seeker soldier trophy is 5%, and on 4 stars, it increases to 20%. In addition to all of this, the 20 mandibles you just received give you a free trade for another seeker soldier trophy at the Mandible Trader at Skjoldur's base. That is 2 queen summons on your first 20 seeker soldier kills at Sunshine Alley main.
Save your trophies! A lot of the high-tiered monsters of each biome are needed for enchanting table upgrades, so don’t sell everything to Haldor for gold.
