Farm yourself a {{#item:300455}} and buy a {{#item:27384}} to complete your weapon, equip it, and then feel good cause you just doubled your damage. You can also get a {{#item:300458}} for your shoes. The transition to endgame is one big step closer.

|Gefenia can be a very good farming spot, but SA is not the right class for it. That being said, you'll make good use of this dungeon at the start. Great for Eden Coins early game.

|Income totally depending on selling Elunium to other players. If you have 20% increased drop chance you can skip using Bubblegum, since bbg drop rate is capped at 90% and you'll reach that much with just gear.

|-

|Still a good spot early. Most of your zeny will come from making +10 certificates and raw zeny from killing mobs. Deliver the quest everytime up until 15 times a day, to get extra illusion stones.

|Great for early zeny, great for early Eden Coins. One of my favourite spots to farm the first day or two of playtime. Use guyak to farm here and try to minimize the time you spend in town. You can use kafra cards from the eden vending machine and @storeall to speed up the farming a lot.

|Main source of zeny is Amethyst Fragments, so the income is not instantaneous, as you'll have to sell them to players in #trade or via merchant shop. Good spot to start building up some Shadowdecon and Zelunium, although not great for it. Possible to skip guyak if you just teleport + Leap. The more fragments you get per bbg, the more income, but you'll start at around 400 only, so there's a big range. Money made also depends on fragment price, but it should always oscillate close to 40k.

|Here you can get Etel Dust, Dim Glacier Weapon Box and Flower Petals, mostly. You can either sell the weapon boxes directly to NPC, or recycle the weapons to get Dim Glacier materials to sell to other players. Materials net you more zeny, but selling directly to NPC is faster.

|-

|Great spot if there's not many people, but unfortunately it tends to get toxic in here as it's a very small map. Mostly raw zeny, with some Shadowdecon and Zelunium drops. Guyak mandatory because of enemies casting Agi Down. Don't go to town and walk back every time you have to sell, or half of your time is wasted. Use kafra cards + @storeall or a Tool Dealer Bell from the Muh Shop.

|This is one of the first great spots to farm Shadowdecon and Zelunium. Equipment dropped here also sells for decent amounts to NPC.

|-

|Main source of income here will be Bloody Brances, followed by the selling of equipment the monsters here drop, and then some extra from Etel Dust, Shadowdecons and Zeluniums.

|Monsters here have 90% damage reduction, so you won't be able to farm comfortably until you have very good gear. Main income is essences, followed by equipment sold to tool dealer, raw zeny from killing mobs and Shadowdecon and Zelunium. Each Biosphere has a daily quest that you can do 15 times for extra loot, and I only recommend farming here if you're doing these.

|-

|One of the best spots to farm. Main source of income here is Bloody Branches. All enemies that are not Timbers should be only killed as collateral damage. All you should care about killing is those little blue guys. Set up a killcount with "@kc timbers 1" before starting, and when you're done check how many Timbers you killed with "@kc status". You should be aiming for  approximately 1500 Timbers per 30min. As you replace pieces of gear for increased loot gear, you'll get more out of this dungeon. Additionally you'll get around 200 Shadowdecon and Zelunium and very good zeny per monster killed.

|-

|One of the best spots. Main source of income here is the high amount of Zelunium and Shadowdecon, followed by very high amounts of zeny per mob killed. As SA, you can average 600 Shadowdecon and 550 Zelunium per 30min once you have decent gear, although you'll probably start at around 300 of each. Numbers here are for 15% drop (poring sunglasses + happy balloon), as trying to wear more increased drop rate gear will mean you lose too much damage to one shot.

You can't use shadow element because of the plasma guy. Recommended earth element with earth elemental cards to do more damage on the gryphons, since they're the tankiest enemies here.

|Currently great spot, as the Wrath of Polluted ???? materials are very sought after. Zone 1 also drops materials for Grading, which is a bonus. Zone 2 has better Wrath of Polluted ???? drops. Zones should only be farmed while the respective contamination event is going on.
