Farming

Farming is a term for the act of repeatedly killing certain monsters for gold, experience points, and/or items. It is generally a source of mixed opinions from players, who are often divided between those who appreciate the ability to gradually acquire extra boosts to their party's power/equipment and those who dislike the time-consuming, repetitive nature of the act.

History

Farming became relevant to the Epic Battle Fantasy series after the release of the third game, which introduced RPG elements and the ability to fight certain enemy groups repeatedly. It became more prevalent (and encouraged) in the fourth game, as the Bestiary now lists the items that could be dropped by various monsters, as well as the chances of them being dropped. Furthermore, virtually all crafting and Food items in the game are available, meaning that a player can just farm the relevant foe instead of buying one of the more expensive items.

Farming was made slightly easier in EBF5 with the introduction of stealing, which allowed the player to get an extra item from a foe, giving the player a better chance of getting the desired item (depending on which drop slot it is in); the item will be instantly added into your inventory, so it is possible to repeatedly steal from any foe by fleeing and starting the battle again. Matt is the only player to have a dedicated stealing skill, but other players can use certain equipment to steal items with single-target melee attacks. The Lucky Fish and the Coin Charm Flairs further enhance farming by increasing drop rates (of items and money respectively) by up to 33%; neither Flair actually needs to be equipped by someone on the frontline, so both can be given to a player in backup while the players in battle use their regular setups.

Both EBF4 and 5 have foes with a chance to drop permanent stat boosters; unfortunately, said foes are either non-respawning encounters or their drop rates for such items are low enough to make farming extremely tedious at best.

Notable Locations and Details for Stat Boosters

For drop rates, see above.

DISCLAIMER

It's worth noting that grinding for stat boosters is incredibly time-consuming for relatively little gain; the game does not realistically need the players to have additional stat boosts outside of the ones obtained through normal gameplay. In general, the stat boosters appearing as drops are more as something for very lucky players instead of an intended farming resource. The following is in place as a reference, not an obligatory round of farming the player has to do.

Additionally, the Battle Mountain update has introduced several bosses with a 50% chance of dropping two different stat boosters. All of these foes can be found in the Miniboss Marathon at the summit of Battle Mountain, adding a universal farming spot (albeit one that's very late into the game).

• *= Enemy doesn't respawn
• ?= It's yet to be verified if they respawn

Honeycomb (HP)

Dropped by: Protector* (50%), Red Wasp (1%), and Yellow Wasp (1%).

Any location with at least one Yellow Wasp works. Red Wasps and Yellow Wasps drop Honeycombs and both can summon more of themselves. Playing on Hard/Epic causes Yellow Wasps to have a chance of summoning an extra Wasp, making the grinding much easier. That said, Red Wasps have a 42% chance of summoning nothing while Yellow Wasps have a ~10% chance of summoning nothing, so Yellow Wasps are preferred. Make sure you have no counters or random summons on your equipment or the wave will end early.

The best location is the Purple Wasp fight right next to the Lankyroot Jungle Slime Cat (screen). It has a great location, nothing else really matters as the fight involves getting the Wasps to spawn more. Only attack them when there are four or five Yellow Wasps on the screen so as to optimize the grinding. One Wasp takes forever to become more, but two or three will quickly become four or five.

Try giving Lance the Ultra Zapper and using Double Shot to trim the numbers if there are four or five Wasps on the screen. Since the Ultra Zapper drains MP, Lance can use it as much as he needs to without running out of MP. Also, having a character use Sacrifice and leaving them dead means that the player will not need to use their turn, making grinding more efficient.

Sushi (MP)

Dropped by: Protector* (50%), Beach Crab (1%), and Cave Crab (1%).

This section is incomplete. You can help Epic Battle Fantasy Wiki by adding required information to it.
To do: Find a good location for farming. Look for: Proximity to Slime Cat and/or other location and number of desired foe type.

Ham (Attack)

Dropped by: Wooly Mammoth* (50%), Brown Bear (2%), and Chimera Bear (2%).

Right next to the final Slime Cat is a Chimera Bear fight. This one has two waves and a grand total of four Chimera Bears, meaning there is a roughly 8% chance of Ham per fight. Aside from the convenient location, the fight also has several foes who drop the valuable Elixir of Life, so one can both farm for Ham and farm lots of cash for buying other Stat Boosters.

Early in the game, the Brown Bears in the panel below Mighty Oak (screen) can be used for farming, though the player generally will prefer to do so later in the game.

Beef (Defence)

Dropped by: Wooly Mammoth* (50%), Evil Tail (1%), and Evil Worm (1%).

Like Honeycombs, Beef comes from a foe that summons more foes. Unlike Honeycombs, the summoned foes cannot summon any more and you cannot boost the rate at which they appear.

In the screen to the left of the Graybone Cemetery Slime Cat, there is an Evil Tail fight. In it, two Evil Worms appear. Kill only the Evil Tails; killing the Worms themselves will end the fight. As such, using Double Shot is a bad idea.

Cake (Magic Attack)

Dropped by: Sand Worm* (50%), Fire Elemental (1%), Ice Elemental (1%), and Thunder Elemental (1%).

There're multiple good locations. A useful one is in the Waste Disposal Plant which involves Thunder Elementals in the screen above and below the Slime Cat.

This section is incomplete. You can help Epic Battle Fantasy Wiki by adding required information to it.
To do: See if there are any better locations. Look for: Proximity to Slime Cat and/or other location and number of desired foe type.

Donut (Magic Defence)

Dropped by: Sand Worm*^{[only in the Steam version]} (50%), Flame Wraith (1%), Frost Wraith (1%), and Spark Wraith (1%)

The plentiful Spark Wraiths on the path between Goldenbrick Resort and the Temple of Godcat drop Donuts and are placed between two Slime Cats. Simply start at one Slime Cat and walk to the other, fighting the Wraiths on the way.

One can also try the Wraiths found in the fights along the path to the Zombie Hydra. They aren't exactly convenient, but if one is farming Zombie Hydra for experience they can probably clear those battles in a turn.

Notable endgame battles for EXP and Gold farming

• The Zombie Hydra fight in Graybone Cemetery (added in the Battle Mountain update), one screen above from the bottom-left corner of the world map, surrounded by purple clouds that require Winged Boots to walk through them. One head is worth:
  • EXP per player: 227 653 in NG, 7 611 676 in NG+, 48 487 134 in NG++ and onwards, assuming all players are alive by the end of the battle.
  • Gold: 39 529 in NG, 222 313 in NG+, 667 215 in NG++ and onwards.
  • AP per player: 1021 anytime.
  • Notable items: Orange Juice (10%), Burger (10%).

• The Gold Dragon fight in Temple of Godcat, one screen to the left from the top-right corner of the world map. There are two Gold Dragons, two Ancient Monoliths, one Black Dragon and one Red Dragon in the battle. One battle is worth:
  • EXP per player: 683 642 EXP in NG, 22 857 885 in NG+, 145 607 007 in NG++ and onwards, assuming all players are alive by the end of the battle.
  • Gold: 208 287 in NG, 1 171 417 in NG+, 3 515 712 in NG++ and onwards.
  • AP per player: 4984 anytime.

Farming Opportunities in Epic Battle Fantasy 5

To start off, keep in mind that Steroids are generally not worth farming for (nor is experience or straight gold), and that the player should only be farming by using Steal to get the desired crafting materials (which can usually be sold and used to buy any material).

It is worth noting that since the loot is shown to the player and received when the foe dies (regardless of whether the player has completed the battle) other foes in the wave are irrelevant unless the player wants to get EXP, AP or extra money. If one is farming materials or stat boosters, they can start the fight, kill the foe with the desired loot, and then flee. This saves time spent fighting the other foes and the time spent traveling to and from the Slime Cats. As mentioned in the beginning of this article, stealing effects can give the player an extra piece of loot, increasing the odds of getting something valuable. Unfortunately, most particularly rare items (such as stat boosters) cannot be stolen due to the Steal mechanics.

To further increase the efficiency of the grind, the player can equip the Lucky Fish, boosting the odds of obtaining an item by 33%.

Most foes can be found in the Grand Gallery, sorted by family. If you are looking for the loot of a certain foe and do not know where to reliably find them, the Grand Gallery is a good default place to go to. Keep in mind that some rarer foes (such as Mammoths and Monoliths) require the player to have many medals (and therefore be far in the game) in order to access. Furthermore, a select few foes (most notably the Omega Dragon, which drop Crispy Bacon) can only be repeatedly fought in the final room of the Grand Gallery, meaning that at such a point the player has probably beaten everything on Epic several times, and so farming them will be largely pointless unless the player is planning on doing some sort of challenge run. This means that the player will want to spare an instance of them for use in farming.

To do: EVERYTHING. Feel free to start anywhere. Please use the Steam version's drop rates as the Beta's may have changed.

Notable Endgame Farming Opportunities for EXP

DISCLAIMER

Epic Battle Fantasy 5 is very good about keeping the player's levels at a good place relative to the foes of the area (with a few, brief exceptions). EXP farming is largely unneeded; in general, a better strategy is both more efficient and more effective than just chalking up more levels, especially since most of the deadliest encounters actually scale to the party's level. The following is in place as a reference, not an obligatory round of farming the player has to do.

In The Beyond, there is a wave of three Cosmic Monoliths; once the player is sufficiently leveled, they can be defeated by simply summoning God (the SP cost can be recovered by equipping the Small Cloud Flair).

If you don't want to keep going back and forth through the portal to farm Monoliths, you may want to consider the 3-headed Blaze Hydra back in The Rapture. Like all Hydras, each "revived" head is actually a new foe that adds to the reward pool as normal, allowing for easy levels and gold as long as the Hydra can keep spawning new heads. Unlike most other instances of Hydras, this Blaze Hydra respawns.

Repeatedly defeating/capturing Snowflake is another efficient approach, since Snowflake is always at the same level as the party and is relatively simple to access and defeat. It also allows the player to farm Espresso, albeit slowly.

Notable Locations and Details for Steroids

This section is incomplete. You can help Epic Battle Fantasy Wiki by adding required information to it.
To do: Look for respawning foes which drop the desired item and are near an entrance/Slime Cat. There should be multiple locations.

Note: Please do note list the Grand Gallery as a farming location unless the foe does not respawn anywhere else. The Grand Gallery is a given; this is for more efficient locations.

DISCLAIMER

It's worth noting that in general, grinding for stat boosters is incredibly time consuming for little gain, and the game does not realistically need the players to have additional stat boosts outside of the ones obtained through normal gameplay. In general, the stat boosters appearing as drops are more as something for very lucky players instead of an intended farming resource. The following is in place as a reference, not an obligatory round of farming the player has to do.

For drop rates, see above.

Matt

Crispy Bacon (Attack & Defence)

Crispy Bacon is dropped by the Omega Dragon. There are no respawning regular fights including Omega Dragons. The only way to encounter an infinite amount of them is by replaying the Foe Marathon which includes every regular enemy in the game, however the dragon appears near the end of the hour-long battle so it is a very inefficient way to farm. Another encounter is in the All Medals room of the Grand Gallery, but this requires you to have totally completed the game, at which point there is no reason to farm any more unless you set your own post-game goals.

To farm Crispy Bacon, consider not killing the Omega Dragon by the Super Hammer in The Rapture; the chest they guard has no valuable items inside of it (barring 99 Coffee, but those can be bought easily).

Raw Beef (Magic Attack & Magic Defence)

Raw Beef is dropped by the Grolar Bear. There is a battle with 3 Grolar Bears and 2 Rescue Dogs one screen up from the Slime Cat in Frozen Valley. Focus on the Bears and avoid killing the Dogs so you can run away and restart the fight without having to use the warp again.

Chicken Leg (Accuracy & Evade)
