Gear / My Setup

while it's not necessary to have the exact same setup as i do, here's what i use for reference.

offhand

rift lens (hive mother or malugaz drop)

mainhand

tome of the deep (sunken sea)

any other tool with aoe capability can be used too!

armor

witch doctor hat + chieftain tunic & chieftain shorts - 5 minion slots (found within the wall)

corrupt warden set - 4 minion slots (azeos' wilderness)

there's probably more gear later into the game that provides minion slots, but i haven't gone that far yet.

Collecting Shrooman Brutes

the core of this method is to collect a bunch of shrooman brutes - the larger shrooman that's been introduced in 1.0. as they only take 1 damage when their stony cap is intact, you're able to stack many hits on them before leaving them to recover their health.

while not necessary, the rift lens helps in not only maneuvering them into small isolated tiles so that they can't wander away or destroy anything during your farm, but is also useful in getting into position by teleporting through the gaps to the middle tile for the best output.

they do have some degree of collision, making stacking multiple of them in one spot a pain.

one tip to squeezing them into smaller spaces is to bait them to rush the tile you're trying to remove.

when they collide into you they'll bounce backwards due to recoil, making it easy to step away and dig up the tile you were on while they're stunned.

once you've collected a few together hop into the middle and you're good to go!

other things you could do to optimise this further:

creating the farm in a world of harder difficulty ensures that the monsters have a larger health pool

accessories such as the puppet ring or soul medallion add minion slots, while the hourglass ring ensures they last longer
