Values reflect ''average'' expected earnings for 30 minutes of farming with an active {{#item:12264}}.
The data for these tables was collected by farming for 30 minutes with an active {{#item:12264}} on an Arch Mage character. Other classes may have higher or lower income.


The "Total Zeny" values reflect market prices at the time this guide was written and should only serve as a comparison basis, not as an indication of actual income.

All these items are available from the in-game cash shop. Monitor the #trade channel and look for players selling {{#item:50003}} (at the time of writing, 7m-7.5m is a good price range for buying these). You can also trade some {{#item:50000}} in a pinch. Don't be afraid of the "cash" shop, you don't need to spend actual cash to use it.

<u>Lootlists:</u> I don't use them because you don't get rich by leaving stuff on the ground! However, some people prefer to use them and that's fine. If you have good lootlists to share, DM me on Discord and I'll include them here (with a credit, of course).
Meanwhile, this guide: [[Farming Items]] has lootlists for most of the maps in the tables below.
<u>Drop rate gear</u>
The data for this guide was gathered ''without'' the use of drop rate gear, as those gears aren't easily accessible to new players. For more information on drop rate gear, see here: [[Increase item drop gears]]
<u>A note on the data</u>
To make this guide, I farmed between 5 and 20 half-hour sessions on each map, and collected the data in a spreadsheet. The numbers in these tables represent the '''lowest recorded amounts''' across these runs. They should serve as a solid baseline, not as a top end to aim for.

Conclusion: Buckle up and lock in, Niffleheim 2 is going to be your best farming spot for a ''long'' time. Mix it up with Mjolnir if you can snipe easily, and CTB to farm materials for {{#item:50052}}.

Note: Niffleheim 2 also drops 1001072, another component for buying 50052.
