The Best Rosary Farming Location
The optimal location for this quick farm is in the Greymoor biome.
- Nearest Checkpoint: The “Halfway Home” Bell Beast station in Greymoor. This serves as the perfect hub for this grinding loop.
- Why It Works: The area right outside this station features a high density of weak, easy-to-defeat enemies that drop multiple Rosaries each. Their respawn point is perfectly positioned for a rapid, continuous loop.
Step-by-Step Farming Route
Follow these simple steps to maximize your earnings:
- Start at the Bench: Rest at the “Halfway Home” bench to set your respawn point and fully heal.
- Exit to the Right: Leave the station and head to the right. You will immediately encounter a group of specific enemies (likely Garmlings or similar weak foes).
- Execute the Loop:
- Use wide-slashing attacks or tools to quickly eliminate the entire group of enemies. They should drop a large cluster of Rosaries.
- Immediately collect all the Rosaries.
- Instead of waiting for them to respawn, simply quit to the main menu and reload your game.
- Repeat the Process: Upon reloading, you will be back on the bench. The enemies will have respawned. Run out, defeat them again, collect the Rosaries, and repeat.
This “save and quit” method is faster than waiting for natural enemy respawns, allowing you to complete each run in about 50 seconds for a yield of 58 Rosaries.
Why This Method is So Effective
- Extreme Efficiency: The proximity of the enemy group to the bench makes the reset loop incredibly fast.
- Early Game Accessibility: Greymoor is an early-to-mid-game area, meaning you can access this farm long before you need to make large purchases for end-game content.
- Minimal Risk: The enemies are weak and pose little threat, making it a safe and reliable method even if you are low on health.
What to Spend Your Rosaries On
Once you’ve farmed a substantial amount, here are the most critical items to buy from Shakra to make your journey easier:
- Compass (70 Rosaries): The single most important upgrade for navigation.
- Quill (50 Rosaries): Automatically fills in your map as you explore.
- Area Maps (40-50 Rosaries each): Unlock the layout of new regions.
- Bench Pins / Bellway Pins (60 Rosaries each): Mark essential locations on your map.
- Tools and Upgrades: Fund the crafting of powerful tools like the Flintslate and Longpin.
