Farming is when you go and kill people over and over again for xp. The goal is to earn as much xp as possible before the game ends. Lazy Farming The quickest, easiest way to earn XP and doesn’t require much work. This is recommended if you do not feel like getting fully decked and just want to earn as much xp as quickly as possible. Requirement: - Mobility Class [Scout, Viper, Jumper, Acrobat, Frog] Recommended - Miner or Enchanter How to: During phase 1, quickly get s4 p2 iron. For levels, I recommend the redstone mine, but the emerald mines gives you the option to anvil enchants if you need to. I recommend bringing wool + shears because you might get swapped [Unless you’re jumper] Health pots are quite important, as you might need them in a tough situation. Go out of your way to get at least 3 health pots [By brewing, or you can just buy them from the emerald shop] Then for literally the entire game, just run around enemy bases killing people and running. You can choose to get diamonds if you wish Solo Farming The more invested and taxing way of earning XP, but will pay off if done right. Requirements - Vampire, Chaos Lord, Frog [It is possible with other classes such as Medic,Berserker, Orion, Etc, but it will be many times harder and you may find that you might be unable to end the enemy team during the process of your farming.] Recommended - Miner or Enchanter - Good Pick [Eff 4 iron, Eff 3 gold, etc] - Killing the boss[es] - Pots How to: During Phase 1-2 gather a full set of iron + a sharp 4 iron. Attempt to get at least p3 Iron. Pots are highly recommended to get [Regen, Instant, and Speed] Emeralds are useful for those enchanted books [And wool and shears] In phase 2, Kill the boss or go Farm an enemy team When it’s phase 3, it’s generally a good idea to retreat and gather diamonds After you get at least p2 diamond, you can come back and continue farming [Make sure to refill on pots too] Duo Farming In my opinion, one of the easiest and efficient methods of farming out there. Great for ending teams and is more lax than solo farming. Requirements - A buddy or partner in crime - Any Mobility or Solo Farming kit Recommended - Miner or enchanter How to: Phase 1-2, just like Solo farming, gather gear. Aim for that p3 s4 iron. Pots are still recommended Phase 2 comes along, go and beat up a boss or a team just like in solo farming Phase 3 comes along, and it’s recommended that you back for diamond gear [Though not required this time around if you were smart enough to bring extra iron to repair your gear] Boss Farming Alrighty, this is the easiest way of earning xp without having many risks and can be done solo with a boss trap. Requirements -Nothing really, You could technically boss farm with leather Recommended - Iron gear - Medic How to: Phase 1, gather armour if you wish 1 -2 minutes before phase 2, dig a boss trap [pretty simple, just a 2x3 hole in the ground and a safezone above the hole to hide in.] Lure the boss into the trap and start hacking away.

Another tip: If you're reading this before medic has an update or if there's an anti medic kit added by now, use medic and hide it and it's really good for farming. Use whatever kit is OP at the time UNLESS it's bugged, if there's an OP kit just use it till it gets nerfed. If you can't beat them, join them. I would post the image of tedi saying that but I'm banned and the image is posted there :^( Also you should put that lumber can break your helmet in 13 hits if it's a maxed lumber lol
Leather farmers be like Anyways this can be really helpful for newer players to get more into annihilation. Thank you for putting the effort into making this post.
There are also ways to counter farmers. For example a group of 2+ people are farming a team, there are hell tons of ways to counter them, one of the easiest is to use Lumberjack cause it will do a lot of durability damage to the armors especially the helmet if you got it maxed. The other one is Warlock, because they are farming with 2 people or more, they might [ or not ] stand near each other and the warlock ability can proc multiple times between them. For invis rushing/farming, the best way is to kill them while they are invis or about to get in invis because at those time they won't have armors on. For deffing, use mage's fireballs. defender's traps or swapper [ yes you can swap even if they are invis ]. Dryad is a good kit to counter farmers if you know a good spot to place them. If they have gapples, the best way is to dodge melee and use range. archers. mages, warlocks, dryad or any other kits which have AoE damage or high range abilities can do it. Just a side note don't try to kill them while they are in gapple effects, just break their armors the most you can and their farms already over.
I'll make whatever you said shorter so people can understand cos most ppl can't be bothered to read that much Countering types of attackers Invis Rush -> Mage, defender and swapper Farmers (any armor) -> Lumberjack Gapples -> Archer, warlocks, mage and dryad My personal opinion, lumberjack, dryad or viper are the best to defend with
U forgot that iron sword shrp III can't kill leathers with 2 hits (3 hits), even with shrp IV, i say u use Iron sword Shrp V (shrp IV + IV = V) to kill leathers in farming with just 2 hits, or use critical hit on them --- Double Post Merged, Dec 6, 2018, Original Post Date: Dec 6, 2018 --- Also use thor which does true damage to them, would be more powerfull by 5 thors which cause instant death
This post should be renamed to: How to be a c4ncer anni player, bcz farming isn't a part of annihilation duh
