This guide explains how to choose optimal farming locations in Raven 2, why high-level zones are not always the best choice, and how to maximize both gear progression and resource income. For players looking to accelerate their progress without extensive grinding, you can buy Raven 2 Crystal directly from reputable marketplaces to supplement your farming efforts, but understanding the most efficient spots to farm will help you make the most of every crystal you earn or purchase. 

Part 1: The Shift in Farming Priorities

During the initial leveling event at the start of the game, the primary goal was to farm in zones two to three levels above your character. This maximized experience gain, helped push you up the rankings, and secured event rewards.

However, after that event ends, experience becomes secondary.

Your new priorities become:

Farming crystals for collections and upgrades

Obtaining blue-tier gear for your character

Gathering resources (enhancement stones, gems, Stigmata materials)

Experience is no longer the main driver. This changes everything about where you should farm.

Part 2: The Core Principle – Quantity Beats Quality

The fundamental insight is simple: killing more mobs faster increases your chances of rare drops more than fighting higher-level mobs slowly.

If you kill three times as many mobs in the same time, your actual rare drop rate is higher even if the per-kill chance is slightly lower.

Example from gameplay: A blue cap dropped after one night of farming at a level 59-60 zone that most players had abandoned. The item was needed for magical accuracy and sold for approximately 148 crystals. The zone was not popular, but the farm was effective.

Part 3: Three Types of Valuable Farming Spots

Type A: Gear-Specific Spots

These locations drop specific blue-tier items that either upgrade your character or sell well on the marketplace.

Example 1 – Ruined Village (Level 54)

Drops a blue jacket with Damage Against Normal Monsters +7

This stat benefits absolutely every class (ranged, melee, magical)

The default story gear is inferior to this drop

Drop timeline: anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 days, depending on luck

Example 2 – Romern Desert (Level 59-60)

Drops a blue cap with Magical Accuracy

Also provides defense and maximum HP

Ideal for mages, necromancers, and healers

Even if you don't need it, you can sell it (example price: 148 crystals)

Market check: multiple units available at that price point

Example 3 – Deron Second Location (Level 39)

Drops a blue cloak with Magical Accuracy

Many players run with green cloaks unnecessarily; this is a free upgrade

Alternative versions exist for melee accuracy or ranged accuracy depending on your class

The speaker used this cloak for a very long time before upgrading

Example 4 – Sinirim Council Visor (alternative hat)

Gives Ranged Accuracy +3 and Damage Against Normal Monsters +2

Better for archers and marksmen than the magical accuracy hat

Alternative to the magic cap, and arguably more valuable due to the damage bonus

Type B: Resource-Focused Spots

These locations provide valuable non-gear drops that generate consistent crystal income.

Example – Blue Rome (Level 61)

Drops Celestial Stones (rune-like items for skill customization)

Also drops Enhanced Stone skills

In approximately two hours of farming, you can obtain two runes

Each rune sells for approximately 200 crystals (prices fluctuate)

The speaker sold both in one day for 400 crystals total

Note: prices may drop; check current market before farming

Additional resource drops from any spot:

Green and white items (can be broken into blue flames for Stigmata)

Gems

Armor enhancement stones

Sharpening stones (always relevant, always sellable)

Type C: Elite-Dense Spots (Class-Dependent)

Certain locations contain high densities of elite mobs, which are particularly valuable for specific classes.

Example – Poly Sumeric (Level 61)

Contains many spider elites

Drops a blue cloak with four stats (compared to standard three-stat blue items)

Stats include: Maximum Defense, HP, and Ranged Attack

This is essentially a "slap in the face" to normal blue items – significantly better

Exceptionally effective for necromancers and archers who excel at area-of-effect farming

The cloak sells for approximately 295-750 crystals depending on market conditions

Only 4 such cloaks may be available on a server at a given time (supply is limited)

The speaker upgraded to this cloak and immediately felt the difference in kill speed

Why this spot works:

Runes drop here for your skill tree (celestial stones)

Elites spawn frequently

High mob density means constant combat

Part 4: Class Considerations for Spot Selection

Different classes perform better in different mob configurations. You must match your class to the spot.

Necromancers (and similar AoE classes)

What they need:

Dense mob packs

Mobs that aggro (attack) you automatically

Ability to hit 3+ mobs at once with area skills

What they don't want:

Spread-out mobs standing alone

Spots where you kill one mob at a time

Long distances between pulls

Comparison example – Ominous Village:

Mobs are spread far apart

Necromancer kills one mob at a time

Potions drain slowly but efficiency is low

Not a good spot despite being level-appropriate

Comparison example – Level 61+ zone:

Billions of mobs jump on you immediately

Mass-producing skills kill entire packs

Elites appear frequently

Farming increases exponentially

How to evaluate a spot for your class:

Pull a group of mobs

Count how many you can hit simultaneously with area skills

Track your potion consumption rate

Measure time per mob kill

Observe if mobs aggro you or if you have to chase them

If you are killing one mob at a time while your class has area-of-effect capabilities, the spot is suboptimal for you. Move to a denser zone.

Part 5: The Bot Problem (Practical Reality)

Bots are prevalent in boss zones. An "army" of bot characters may swarm world bosses, making it difficult for legitimate players to secure kill credit or loot.

Observed bot behavior:

Groups of bots run toward bosses simultaneously

They can take down T2 bosses when grouped

They appear to bypass captcha systems that affect real players

They out-damage small groups of legitimate players

Example from gameplay: A group of 3-4 real players at a Sunday morning boss were overwhelmed by an incoming "army" of bots that swarmed the boss and stole the kill.

Implication for farming: For reliable farming, focus on standard mob zones rather than competing with bot swarms at world bosses. Boss zones are not consistent farming locations for legitimate players.

Part 6: What to Do When You Can't Find an Item

The speaker needed blue pants but could not find them in any farming spot.

Problem: Pants with good stats (magic defense, attack power, precision) were not dropping in available zones.

Solution options considered:

Continue farming existing spots (low probability)

Craft the pants instead

Settle for suboptimal pants with damage reduction or max HP

Practical approach: Sometimes you run "without pants" (accept suboptimal gear) while continuing to search. The speaker joked that 100 likes would motivate finding pants – meaning persistence eventually pays off.

Takeaway: Not every gear slot has a good farmable option for every class. Mages in particular had limited pants options. In these cases, either craft, buy from market, or accept temporary suboptimal gear.

Part 7: Why Farm Below Your Level?

The speaker was level 63 but farmed at level 59-60 zones that "everyone left long ago."

Reasons to farm below your level:

Experience is no longer the priority – after the leveling event ends

Kill speed increases – you melt through mobs faster

Potions drain slower – lower operating cost

Specific blue items drop here – the hat you need might not drop at higher zones

Resource drops accumulate – green/white items, gems, stones still drop

What you lose: Some experience per kill (e.g., 118,000 vs higher amounts)

What you gain: More kills per hour = more chances at rare drops = more crystals = more collection progress

Part 9: Step-by-Step Spot Selection Process

Use this process to find your optimal farming location:

Step 1: Identify what you need

A specific blue gear piece?

Crystals (via sellable drops)?

Resources (stones, gems, Stigmata materials)?

Step 2: Check available zones at your level and below

Look at drop tables (right-click items to see sources)

Note which zones drop what

Step 3: Test the zone for 30 minutes

Measure kill speed

Check mob density and aggro behavior

Note potion consumption

Step 4: Compare against alternatives

Is a higher-level zone actually better?

Is a lower-level zone faster?

Step 5: Commit to farming

Overnight farming is viable (using appropriate tools or methods), and multiple nights may be required for specific drops; however, if you prefer to skip the grind, you can buy cheap Raven 2 Crystal from MMOEXP to acquire the resources you need quickly and reliably.
