Nogard78 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 First of I don't know if that is intended mechanic or not, but shadow creatures take demage form toadstool's boomshrooms. As I said in the title you will need loot form Fuelwaver. Grab food for ~5 days put it in the fridge near toadstool and put some light (preferably form star caller staff). Now equip bone armor and bone helmet, let toadstool charge up with her sporecaps and let her do the work. You need to position yourself to lure shadow creatures into exploading boomshrooms, and avoid demage, and for that bone armor is advised. I after food ends usually get max 10 stacks of nightmare fuel, the process might be boring but ist effective. In case you do it in winter or worse in spring you might want to take thermal stone(s) and stay near stars. I think it is possible to do using nightmare amulet, but i don't know and it might be risky. As we are talking about nightmare amulet (it works the same with bone helmet) it is good to piont out that you can GREATLY increase durability on your amulet by simply equiping it only for a split second and then put it back, because instantly after using amulet one shadow creature will spawn and you can repeat the process. In case you know a better way to mass farm nightmare fuel please tell me or something. I think i was inpired to try this method after noticing some nightmare fuel after toadstool farm, and after watching Lakhnish Monster video showcasing farming NF using reanimated skeletons around toadstool, but i thought it was too annoying. Anyway forgive me any grammar errors or misuse of some of the words, english is not my native lenguage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowDigga Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Keep yourself insane with start/stop channeling of lazy deserter and equip bone helm back and forth to trigger shadow spawning. As Maxwell, you can lock yourself in insanity with 2 duelists + 1 worker and as such avoid having to use lazy deserter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogard78 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Yeah that is also very good, but you need to use weapon, on the other side lazy deserter doesn't require the trip to caves and can be set up in your base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodieMain45684 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 How does this compare to shadow spleumonkey farming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepufferfish Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I was able to farm 75 nm fuel in a day as wolfgang with a bonehelm and hambat so thats around 1125 nightmare fuel in a season if your completely and only farming nightmare fuel. That's pretty good and should set you for life (hopefully) in fuel. So perhaps the simplest way of farming the fuel is best. (btw almost 2 stacks every day at best and perhaps a stack and a half at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArubaroBeefalo Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 reset the ruins, change to wendy or wodie and farm all the monkeys over and over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister_Fang Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Honestly, I prefer splumonkeys. Setup a trap field, then once the nightmare phase begins gather the horde and lead them to the traps. Bonus points for Wormwood's traps due to their aoe effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably use tooth traps for the monkey farming, but it seems kinda inefficient to me. I use abigail so i just rile her up and ready my krampus sack.

Then you can lure rocky crustaceans to the monkey village and everytime you reset the ruins you will have help to kill them. You can also use reanimate skeleton or repaired clockworks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lammarr Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The cave reanimated skeleton is the best for some shadow splumonkey killin', he got an aoe effect and kills them in 1 hit, and he can also be used by anyone, i would say he's just waaaay better than Abigail, Weremoose, rock lobsters, that innefficient Wicker tentacle farm, and tooth traps for this kind of job.

Nogard78 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Since I am using sans to clear up ruins, I can try using him for monkey farming. One more question how does his aoe works, for example can i get hit even when holding thurbile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it works like the forge bosses' aoe attacks iirc, it only goes to one direction that they're targeting instead of the whole area around them, and it also doesn't deal damage to friendly allies, so you won't get hit if you're using the shadow thurible.

Nope, you can get hit for a huuuge 100~ dmg even holding thurbile... both from snare and normal attack... Ouch Thurbile is protecting me only from snare.

Bluepufferfish Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 btw you can still get a pretty good amount of nm fuel as not wolfgang, it was just an example lol since he kills em faster. Any character can do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
