    Farming Tomestones

    What is the best method? I'm not talking speed runs or exploits. Just a legitmate way to gather tomestones for my Darklight gear. I just got my chest piece today after spending the past 2 days farming it 16 times between those 2 days in Amdapor Keep and I'm just hoping there is a better way that i'm missing because if I have to run amdapor keep another 16 times for one more piece of gear i'm gonna cry. ):

    I appreciate advice you guys can offer.

    TL;DR What is the best farming method?

    With a good group you should be able to clear AK in less than 40 minutes for the 80 philos/40 myths, or CM a little quicker for 100 philos. That's what I've experienced anyway.

    Sometimes I get groups that can clearly AK in 40-45 minutes but most of the players I get come in with lvl 44 GC weapons and trash takes a millenium to kill.

    With a good group Castrum is a quicker source of philosophy stones than Amdapor with the trade-off of it not dropping any equipment or myth stones. It's just as mind-numbling boring as spamming Amdapor over and over again though.

    If it's truly faster i'd rather do it.

    I highly recommend you to do Castrum for Philosophy stones to get full DL set (gear + accessories) only Then start farm myths in AK because 80% of time if useing Duty Finder you will have to deal with new players , or elitist scum which 1000 times worse ; ; so DL set in possess is already big help . New players will take your time to complete run ( if they have good skills , and you will explain every boss ) or will cause wipe on any of 3 Dung bosses due unknowing what to do .

    I'll try that out once the servers back up then. I really would like to get darklight ASAP.

    Too many people are trying to farm AK with just AF gear. Farming Castrum for Philo and getting darklight gear makes it much easier. It's possible to beat with just AF gear, but it makes the boss fights a pain, especially the wall.

    AK just wants people to have a ilvl55+ weapon.

    AF is more then enough to survive the mechanics and a Darklight weapon from WP (or Ifrit weapon which is jsut as easy to get with AF+ilvl49 weapon) make Wall "tough" but completely doable.

    I agree it's doable. For farming purposes, it's more realistic to have more than just AF. Groups that have lower gear tend to struggle on the bosses. Too many people try to be carried through there for the myth stones. They want to bypass the the darklight and go straight to AF2. I see it a lot running AK.
