Efficient Farming Guide
Reduce the grind! Best AFK spots, low-effort builds, and smart farming strategies.
Why This Guide Exists
Pixel Blade can be grindy. This guide helps you farm smarter, not harder - using legitimate game mechanics to minimize effort while maximizing rewards.
💡 Tip: This guide focuses on legal strategies using in-game mechanics. No scripts or exploits!
The "Semi-AFK" Build Philosophy
The goal is to build a character that can clear content with minimal input. Key stats to prioritize:
- Life Steal - Essential for sustain without manual healing
- AoE Damage - Clear multiple enemies per attack
- Movement Speed - Reach Fast tier (21+) for efficiency
- Flame Element - Highest passive DPS via burn ticks
Best Weapons for Low-Effort Farming
S-Tier: Solar
- Massive AoE beam clears entire screens
- With enough Recovery, you can spam it infinitely
- Best for Raid farming - just hold position and beam
A-Tier: Frost Blade / Ice Spear
- Frost Blade: Great AoE + freeze for safety
- Ice Spear: Longest freeze duration, enemies cant touch you
- Both allow you to control the pace of combat
B-Tier: Sandstorm / Necromancer Blade
- Sandstorm: Pulls enemies together for easy AoE
- Necromancer: Summons do the fighting for you
- Both reduce the need for precise positioning
Upgrade Banner Priority for Farming
When farming, prioritize these banners in order:
- 1. Life Steal - Non-negotiable for sustain
- 2. Flame Element - Passive damage while you focus elsewhere
- 3. Rage Spirits + Spirit Capacity - More damage = faster clears
- 4. Speed - Reach Fast tier, then stop taking it
- 5. Stamina - More dashes for repositioning
Best Ring Setup for Farming
- Vampire Ring - More sustain on top of Life Steal banner
- Dragon Ring - Boost your Flame damage even higher
- Timeless Ring - If going for infinite ability spam
💡 Tip: Use our Ring Quality Grader (/tools/ring-grader) to check if your rings are worth investing in!
Raid Farming Strategy
For efficient Raid farming:
- Optimal party size: 6 players
- At least 1 Ice Spear user for crowd control
- Rest should be high DPS (Solar, Imperialist)
- Stop at Wave 30-50 for best time/reward ratio
- Going past Wave 50 has diminishing returns unless hunting Super Rings
World Farming Spots
Grasslands (Early Game)
- Farm near the portal area - enemies respawn quickly
- Goblin King is easy to farm for Rare drops
Desert (Mid Game)
- Open areas with high enemy density
- Sandstorm weapon shines here
Tundra (End Game)
- Highest rewards but requires good gear
- Vampire Ring almost mandatory for survival
Mobile Player Tips
If you play on mobile, these tips help reduce fatigue:
- Use weapons with large hitboxes (Scythes, Greatswords)
- Prioritize auto-targeting abilities
- Take breaks - the game will be there tomorrow!
Summary: The Lazy Farmer Checklist
- ✅ Life Steal banner (mandatory)
- ✅ Flame element (passive DPS)
- ✅ AoE weapon (Solar > Frost Blade > Sandstorm)
- ✅ Vampire Ring (extra sustain)
