[Torchlight: Infinite] The MIGHTIEST Farm Before Profound! 2000 FE/Hr over ~100 maps!

Storyline

No coherent narrative plot is discussed. The video focuses on an endgame farming strategy in Torchlight: Infinite (Lunaria content) for Time Mark 8.

Gameplay / Farm Strategy Overview (Main Topic)

The creator shares what they consider the best FE (farming efficiency) farm strategy in Time Mark 8 so far: farming Ultimate Embers in Lunaria-focused maps.

Target & Expected Returns

• Farm target: Ultimate Embers
• Value range: about 25–36 FE (varies by time/day)
• Creator’s luck: Ultimate Embers often sell around 30–35 FE, with frequent higher-end pricing.
• Goal: consistently sell/farm embers closer to the higher end of the market.

Build / Skill Tree Highlights (Might-focused)

• Might investment: 55 points into Might
• Core node: the Ultimate Ember node
• Other investments: mostly relevant nodes that support the farming plan
• Simplified emphasis: primarily Might + Ember-related nodes
• Commodities: uses quantity + ember nodes to increase drop volume

God of War Note

• The creator is not using God of War for their Corino Lightning Shot-based mapping needs.
• If needed, they suggest shifting ~15 points to pick it up.
• Alternatively, they recommend using a compass instead.

Profound Constellation (Quantity Attempts)

• Using Minus 2 attempts
• Prioritizing quantity nodes
• Limitation: they can’t take the big node granting +12% additional quantity due to point constraints.

Map Setup & Compass Strategy

• Start: uses blue compasses
• Switch: moves to a purple bouncy ember compass
• Midway change: uses a flourishing might compass for part of the season
  • Prices later increased, but profits remained strong.

Gameplay Loop: What to Do in Maps

1. Enter Lunaria maps.
2. Ensure the correct Lunaria pet setup is active immediately on entry.
3. Run (or rely on) Lunaria strumming / auto-strumming.
4. Kill what spawns, loot drops, and repeat across maps.
5. Continue farming until you’ve completed your map run count/time window.

Key warning: Always keep the correct pet/“page” active when starting the mechanic, or you risk losing drop opportunities.

Pet Setup (Swaps for Strum / Primary Farming)

“First enter the zone” / Strum swap

• Strum swap lineup:
  • Legendary Lunaria (level 2)
  • Purple Lunaria (level 6)
  • Chalk (level 1)
• They also test/swap between Chalk and Surging Gold to compare performance.

Always-on mapping setup (outside Lunaria)

• Captain Shadow (level 1)
• Sky (level 6)
• Cherry Blossom (level 6)

Performance / Results (Time Mark 8 Tracker)

Over 96 maps and ~3 hours 7 minutes:

• Gross income: 911 FE
• Map cost: 2794 FE
• Total profit: 637 FE
• Profit per hour: ~2014 FE

Loot breakdown (major sources)

• Ultimate Embers:
  • 204 found
  • Avg price: 33 FE
  • Total valuation: 5890 FE (~65% of total value)
• Raw FE / AC drops:
  • 1321 FE (largely from Lunaria mobs)

Other notable drops mentioned:

• Precious Embers: ~4.6%
• Onslaught Might Compasses: 9 (~3.2%)
• Matchless Embers: just under 2%
• Divinity Emblems: 2
• Flourishing Might Compasses: price rose from ~9 FE to ~16–18 FE; profits were still strong after the increase.

God of War / Clearance Notes

• They demonstrate a run and warn:
  • God of War is not easy and demands character setup.
  • In Time Mark 8, they had about ~150 billion damage on a dummy (later improved).
  • They emphasize being very tanky (HP monitoring; mentions heal and high fire resistance).

For progression:

• In Profound, their power is enough for about two waves.
• They estimate needing multiple trillions of damage (while staying tanky) to clear more reliably.

Key Tips / Strategies Summarized

• Farm Ultimate Embers specifically (main profit driver).
• Build around Might + Quantity, centered on the Ultimate Ember node.
• Prefer the purple bouncy ember compass; add flourishing might compass when profitable.
• Use the correct pet page/setup immediately on entering Lunaria maps.
• If you’re not using God of War, you may rely on compass choices; if needed, shift ~15 points.
• Auto-strumming is acceptable; manual strumming can yield slightly better results but costs time.
