Lunar Glade - Best way to farm for gold weapon mats

The easiest option would be to simply buy the Lunar Glade Insignia weapon

Fuzzy doesn't believe this for a single second.

Farming during the past 2 weeks, for a total cost of 3.5m Fuzzy farmed a Lamp of Souls for his seeker. It takes the exact same mats. 3.5m farming cost is far less than 45+m for insignia. Fuzzy admits, it was considerably cheaper to do so during the 2x event due to the drops inside Lunar MP mode, but there is no way it cheaper to simply roll over and buy the insignia if you are willing to do a little work. (Outside of 2x Fuzzy has also farmed 2 Heaven Shatterer's and 2 pairs of Deicides)

The Ancient tinder that is required is an easy one to obtain. Simply find a squad of friends going into Lunar to complete their Hauntry Queen bh. After killing Hauntry, move on to the next valley and take down Primal Fear. More often than not this will yield an Ancient Tinder for you. If you run the instance with faction or friends, to them the Tinder will be useless. Let them know you are working on your axes and they should let you have the tinder for free. (At least that's how Fuzzy and company roll together. Need before greed)

For the Chromatic Tinders, you should be able to acquire them in 4 or 5 MP mode runs. Drake is the easiest boss to kill in Lunar and to a decently geared squad he shouldn't even present a challenge.

Between a few bh's and the small handful of runs to Drake you do you will be able to amass enough essences along the way to complete the essence crystal needed for the 1st stage weapon. It only takes 5 of each. If you are splitting the entrance fee to MP mode, ask your squad if you can trade around the different essences till you have 5 of each.

Assuming AT WORST you need to fork up the entire 3m opening fee alone each and every time you want to attempt getting a Tinder it should take no more than 5 or 6 runs to get the 3 you seek. That puts your total cost at around 18m. It would however also leave you with more essences than required for essence crystal, so shove the rest back into the AH to offset the opening expense.

You are going to also require 5 fragment crystals and 1 transparent crystal, along with the 1 essence to make the Drakehunt axes to decompose for the souledge. This can be quite easily farmed for free through solo mode Lunar. The runs don't take long and the mats needed drop like candy. Grab a friend when you are bored, go run 5 or 6 solo runs and these will be complete before you know it.

This leaves the 4 Back Image required. Yet another mat that can be farmed completely for free. Again, just as when trying to run for your tinders, round up 5 friends or faction mats and get going in 2-3. Emperor isn't difficult at all these days considering the "average" level of gear and dps out there. It may take farming 2-3 outside of double drops for a week or so to get all 4 of the EBI's, but again, it can be done for free.

Last but not least you need the essence of nature to complete the weapon. This is easier done than said. Spend an hour or two farming in heaven or hell and you can make all the essence's and then some.

Lunar Weapon Insignia = 45+m

5 or 6 MP Lunar Runs = 15-18m, rest of the mats can be farmed for free.

Do the math. Simply buying an insignia is far more expensive that doing the actual work required to get your hands on any of the 2nd stage Lunar weapons.

Sadly, as this panda sees it, people are too *colourful adjective* these days to put in the time and effort to farm their gear. They prefer to propagate the myth's that is simply cheaper to buy the pack item. Well, in the case of Lunar weapon, it isn't cheaper. It may just be easier. Fuzzy for one however enjoys actually playing the game to achieve his weapons and armour.

you're smart. you farmed 90mil worth of mats to make a weapon worth 40-50mil instead of selling the mats for 90mil and buying the weapon and have 40mil left over.

Ok everyone Complaing towards fuzzy you all are too busy thinking about SELLING the weapon you made Moon asked opinion to Farm/Buy the Gear you all told him to just buy the insignia Fuzzy gave a farm guide Don't QQ towards Fuzzy's guide because its a good one to me then again I only need help getting Tinders (since I can stealth to bosses.)

please stay with the moderator part of the job and don't give financial suicide advices to ppl.
It's nice to farm the stuff you want.
It's not nice to *obscene verb* up ppl that don't know/don't understand the game economy especially when you're doing it from a moderator position.
Stick on what you do best: censorship and closing topics/necros.

so, farm mats then sell mats and buy insignia to make weapon plus have more for refines? how quickly can you sell those mats off though? the only problem i have with the counterQQ raised against fuzzy's advice is that it requires a market and decent demand. i know many of those mats can be used to make lunar armor pieces, but most ppl on my server dont bother and just do tt-vana pants and wrists etc.... fuzzy's advice relies less on market demand and more on actually having "real game-friends" to help you which i find more enjoyable than mindless merching.

for the record, i have helped many of my close friends(and even some factions members) farm mats. on those runs if a gold mat is what they need and they have been helpful to me they can have it for free. a split on a gold mat for a friend is not worth more than a friend that will help you farm your own gear when you really need it.

Hi, I want to try to farm lunar when I am higher, but...

What is MP Mode? Same thing as trophy mode? b:puzzled

Also, does it take a full squad to open lunar trophy mode? Or can u open with 2 ppl like squad mode?

Thanks for your help!

Humorom MP Mode is the equivalent to a Twilight temple Squade Mode run. Both Instances TT and Lunar work basically the same you have to spend ultmate substances for TT or essence of nature for Lunar in the beginning to open the instance. The huge difference is that Lunar MP Mode also requires a coin fee of 3.000.000 coins. This has to be seen under the light of lunar weapons > TT weapons statwise + when you go for a lvl 100 lunar weaon you can go with 1 recast to 3rd lvl nirvana. On the other hand it is easier to get to first or 2nd recast with a TT weapon as basis. Unfortunately lunar as instance has lost a lot of its appeal to players because item drop rates are really low considering the 3mil coin fee.

@fuzzy the 3.5mil cost for the mats cant be true not even in double drop because 1 run = 3mil so either you had some friends who did the run with you and distributed their share for free to you while still paying for the entrance fee or you forgot to calculate the costs for doing the run. I mean even if you only calculate a normal share of fee 3mil/6 = 500k/run 3.5mil = 7 runs to get all of the mats.
