Just wondering where you guys go to find some frmament essence. The herbs are obviously quite easy, especially hinalle, however I always seem to be lacking on firmament even when looting all corpses. Any advice?

[hongaun]

Essences are random drops across all mobs...there's no specific level or type of mob which has a higher drop rate...

[Dradoc]

Eh kind of figured that's how it would end up being, just haven't been finding them as much as when I was around level 10 so figured I would ask.

[raela]

I do all quests/kharas, and I've yet to have a problem finding them. Have you been skipping kharas? Or maybe you've had bad random drop luck.

[Dradoc]

Ha I'm betting on just bad luck. Even if I miss a Khara I always make sure to go back and get it. Well anyways thanks for the replies. Think ill just go take an hour or two and kill some trancers or another quick to kill monster and see what happens.

When you're lvl 25+ and has enough dmg, Use AoE on flips and Porings on the very 1st map(Elemento Acadmy[West Mjolnir]). I did that last night, got 50 Firmaments(30mins Spent). And other materials too. Add to that, Monk got Lame AoE's.

[Dradoc]

Yeah I think my lvl 29 point just might go into Meteor Assault. Need to do some serious farming to keep myself and 1 or 2 other supplied with crafted and quality reds.

[Easly]

Thats how i do it. About 30 minutes of farming and i have more stuff than i know what to do with.

Holy Cow... a Video wich shows how to farm low lvl mobs with Aoe attacks.!
Are we really at this Point now ?

[Harkoa]

O.o ok uh, a non lowbie mob farming way is to just keep up on your monster extermination quests, which in the end is just mob grinding with a little added exp bonus. But I've noticed I find quite a few crafting materials that last me this way, but I also don't actively keep track of how many I get and how often. I just notice my new nice little stack usually at the end of the night or during a town trip.

[Critterion]

Everyone know how to Farm low Mobs with Aoe Attacks,(that's what i hope at least) there is no need to make a Video about it, that's the Point. No wonder Games like Ro2 are dumbed down like this , if ppl's need 1:28 min Video Tutorials about how to farm Porings.....

While I think it could've been just as easily explained in words as a video, it got the point across. I don't think you need to rip on him just for making it into a video.
Some people haven't yet realized that everything drops it. I myself was frustrated when I had nowhere near the amount of essence I needed for a potion set.
Now that I do know everything drops Traces, Spirits, Roots, and essence, I've personally found the Leisurely flips to be more rewarding, but I could've just been having bad luck with the porings.
Most people that farm porings do it in the Mastering/poor poring area. I don't like that area because of the Mastering that always drops that quest starting item. So flips are better for me. But whatever floats your boat.

since the drop nerf farming these are a pain, 99 firmament essences in 2.3 hrs

[Ledise]

So where do you guys would like to farm them then? At level 50 monsters perhaps which will take you forever to at least farm 1 stack?

[FloppyDiskDrive]

So it is still better to farm mats on low level monster's even with the drop nerf?..

Drop nerf? No. Such thing.

And yes. You can farm Mats on low level monsters like flips & porings.

I see,  for the reply!. much appreciated!

[Chanee]

Thats how i do it. About 30 minutes of farming and i have more stuff than i know what to do with.

 

What Skill is this? Sorry I am totally NEW

[TifaValentine]

@Chanee, seeing as the person is playing a Priest, I'm guessing from what I see on the vid, they're using Magnus Exorcismus, an AoE skill for Priests.
