Thats a lot of lost silver actually…an hour is about 200 fights in my experience, so 100\*200=20,000 silver, so 2 levels for my higher monsters…worth the extra 20 minutes IMO lol. If i’m already committing to searching for a rare, then I might as well get a few levels out of it. Either way, I’ve used this method around game launch and it works well to escape, but it’s not like it increases spawn rates for rares, just slighty increases the number of fights you can have ---

Hi guys, where do you find metallo actually? Inside the ziggurat or outside of it? I’ve been searching both for about 2 hours and still found none … ---

For me, this method isn’t entirely about saving time (which it does), it’s more about preserving my sanity haha. Having to go through all those menus and very small wait times between actions and xp and such really drove me nuts ---

This is genius! I’m surprised that nobody had thought of this before. Thank you so much. I was able to farm Leafy and Ashie in only 45 minutes! ---

Doesn’t take me much longer to swipe in one direction and kill everything in one hit.  Plus this method isnt as effective for farming where mobs spawn with more than 3 arks.  You have to kill the first ones to see what is waiting down the line anyway… ---

And again, it’s the frustration factor associated with the very slight window delays and having to sit through all those animations etc > [@Ashley](#): > > Negligible?

Check the threads in Where’s That Monster section, but they’re in the first 4 steps along the path north of Orlen (starters) and the first 4 steps north of Agramis (Hatchling dragons) ---

Dude I found all 4 within 2 hours tops.  This is great.  I would even wager to say that this method is 2 to 3 times faster.   ---

This method works great. Today I combined it with 2 other monsters for cherub farming, I catch them every time and found 6 in a couple hours farming, 5 of which I caught, A, B, C, D, & E ranked ones, 6th was another E so I passed.  ---
