What gear do you use while farming?

How do you farm your materials? Do you have a gear setup? Do you use a certain class?

    I don't change gear while farming, and I farm on any class, but I do slot rapids.
    The faster, the better!

    Speed and stealth are key.

    Alcast just posted a build that fits this theme:

    Farming what? XP or gear would be different than farming materials for example.

    Normally just whatever my character is happening to be wearing. As soon as I get my swift rings researched I will play with making a speedy farmer.

    Orc + Fiord's Legacy + Rapids = good times while harvesting ;)

    Stam Sorc, Darkstride + Cowards Gear

    Darkstride lets me sprint for ages and still have stamina to fight, which is really nice in Craglorn.

    Treasure Hunter CP and force lock passives if you farm chests. The speed from force lock well outweighs the paltry cost of lockpicks and Treasure Hunter gives better quality loot.

    I also run Impen trait gear out of personal preference so I don't have to repair my gear very often.

    To farm mats I have my crafter in fiords+darkstrides+2 separate monster pieces with stam recovery and use dubious+rapids. Can run for days. I do nothing on crafter besides craft and farm so it’s all I need. Also put 100 points into reduce cost of sprint. It literally almost costs nothing and with 3300 stam recovery when you stop to grab a node(with auto loot on of course it completely refills the few K you used running to node.

    I assume there is still a speed cap (please tell me if they did away with it) so its pointless to stack speed past 100% increase.

    Mundas 7% (steed with 7 divines)

    CP passive 2% (Windrunning from the lover tree)

    Minor expedition 10% (Jailbreaker set)

    Major expedition 30% (Cowards gear or speed potion is nice)

    sprinting 30% (Haven't confirmed this but it seems accurate)

    armor 21% ( 7 medium armor pieces with athletics passive from medium armor skill line)

    I use a sorc and that streak makes you faster than most speed toons.

    Orc is nice for the cost reduction to sprinting but Argonian i think is better.

    if you ever have to swim across some water you will be faster than other speed toons. plus the potion passive gives you more stats back. plus using infused jewelry with potion cool down enchant means much better sustain from said potion passive.


    if on a mag night blade I would use swift jewelry (I assume it will speed up stealth movement) with prisoner's rags and Jailbreaker

    On sorc i would run the same sets or swap out prisoners for cowards gear for a cheaper alternative to speed potions for major expedition.

    for jewelry traits on sorc i would defiantly run unfused with potion cool down enchants and be Argonian.

    2 other pieces can either be max stam monster 1 pieces or recovery if you find yourself stopping for more than 2 secs for it to be worth it(I go with mag recovery as a sorc to get the most out of streak).

    cost reduction from prisoners rags is nice ..dark stride set gives you more of a stam pool because it is a medium set vs prisoners rags being light, but Prisoners gives you mag regeneration while sprinting making steak something viable that will make you faster than most other speed toons. (takes a lil practice to learn how to use it and move the screen around).

    Hope this is insightful. please post some feedback as I haven't seen anyone else with this setup and I'm not entirely sure on how much speed% sprint gives.

    Also does swift make you move faster on mag blade while using cloak?

    Fiords + Jailbreaker + Steed Stone + Windrunning. 3 gold Swift pieces.

    Fiord's Shield makes it 8 divines pieces instead of 7.

    2 monster pieces I use max stamina on for more sprinting, Lava Foot Stomp is best running food.

    Use all this and you're beyond speedcapped on a Breton DK. You can't even walk, slowest you can move is a slow jog.

    Only reason you'd use Major Expedition is if you wanted to almost hit speed cap while jogging :D

    Ok I gave my setup, now can ppl please stop reporting me for speed hax?

    I do know there is a cap but not sure how it works on calculating. I’m almost certain that the percentages from different sources aren’t additive though.

    Stamina Orc runner is best (Darkstride + Cowards Gear), there are links to the build on the forum.
