*Update* Guide to Farming Inactives 101

Everyday, all day long, new players are asking what is farming and who do you do it to? Finally,a guide explaining the techniques and intricate details of farming and who to farm for beginners.

Farming- repeatedly battling the same player over and over within a short period of time.

Farming Methods

There are two methods of farming, Fight and Dance Off. Dance pays more, but also uses more energy per hit than Fight when "skimming" which is explained how to do below. When entirely unloading, Fight will pay approximately 40% more than unloading on Dance with a comparable farm. Even better method when unloading all your energy is to Dance down to 50% of your total energy and unload the rest using Fight. You will want to make sure you're fully regenerated before you begin farming to obtain the maximum amount of money possible. The lower your energy is, the less payout you will receive from farming and the lower your chance of winning the battle will be altogether. Below is the proper farming techniques for both Fight & Dance.

Fight: (Uses Approx. 5% of Energy)
-Attack Twice
-Wait 5 Minutes to Regenerate
-Repeat the Above Two Steps 3 More Times
-Attack Once
-Wait 5 Minutes to Regen Full
-Repeat

Dance: (Uses Approx. 6% of Energy)
-Attack Twice
-Wait 5 Minutes to Regenerate
-Attack Once
-Wait 5 Minutes to Regen Full
-Repeat

*You will regenerate 9% every 5 minutes.
**Also note that the percentage of energy used could increase by 1% on either if the Battle was determined to be close or lost entirely. For the sake of simolicity these numbers are accurate enough for beginner's uses.

Who Should I Farm

Now, knowing how to farm the question is, "Who can I farm without the fear of retaliation?" Thankfully, there are several players known to no longer be actively playing the game and that you will not need to fear retaliation. Below I have listed a few to get you started. For more farms ask more experienced players, perhaps your Pupil can help, specifically. Always make sure to follow your Pupil and ask for help. Help is not being given the things you wanted, but knowledge to do the things for yourself. Pupils love tutors that want to learn and are willing to learn from them, Forums and other players. It makes them more willing to help you if you find yourself entirely destitute. Anyways, the list:

Timing Farms

Notice that beside each inactive farms name was (#/#). Those are representative of each of those players "farm times". This is the time thay each of those players are expected to regenerate a portion of their health so that they are no longer too weak to be hit. When using popular farms as the ones listed above, you will often get the Error message "Defender Too Weak" (DTW). By knowing the times that a player regenerates you will know exactly when to hit that player without the frustrations of the ever so dreaded (DTW) message. Each number beside the farms name is the number you want to see as the last digit of your device clock to avoid know you have chosen the right time. Go ahead and have that players profile pulled up the minute beforehand so that you are ready to deliver the hit immediately upon the devices clock change to the time you are waiting for.

For new farms remain on that players profile and continually attack until yoi get a succesful hit. You will now know that at that time and every 5 minutes out from thay for all eternity that player will be regenerating and open up to be hit again. Some farms are so popular you will need a watch with a seconds hand to time them ti the second. If you get a successful hit, attack one second earlier than before every 5 minutes until you have gotten a DTW message and you know the following second is the exact second they regenerate. If you are inclined to be this serious and such a BAMF, of course.

The Tutor Bonus

Lastly, the Tutor Bonus. When you battle another player you will have a battle window pop-up which gives you information about the results. Most players only see the big number of how much they won. Pay attention to the snall stuff though. You will notice there is a breakdown of Cash Bonus & Tutor Bonus. Tutor Bonus is iften referred to as Plunder so it is not confused with Bonus From Tutors in your profule which is the stat increase you get from your tutors. The amount of money earned extra due to tutors is solely based on the amount of money you own in tutors and nothing to do with stats. There is a maximum bonus that can be acheived. In order to obtain the maximum Tutor Bonus, or Plunder, you must own $15mil in tutors for every kcs you are. K means one thousand, CS means combined stats. To determine your kcs, view your profile and looks at the numbers out beside Strength/Intelligence. Just add these two numbers together. To get max plunder hire tutors equalling up to a value equaling this number time 15,000,000. It seems like a lot, bit the tutor will pay for itself in time. If you are really working and communicating effectively with your Pupil they may even horse them off of you later when you want to search for better and more active tutors. To avoid the annoyance if having a tutor hired away from you often I would recommend hiring tutors as close to +0/+0 stars as possible. You can always drop them for a 60% refund later and sometimes tutors even sell randomly at terrible stats. Don't get upset over a tutor being hired away from you. Notice in your News Feed that you made profit from them being hired. Take the profits and find a tutor for the same value as before and keep on trucking.

I hope this helps many newcomers and Pupils. Personal thanks to Zachary92 for the percentages and Just_A_Face_In_The_Crowd for the proper amount of thtors needed to achieve maximum Plunder.

If you follow me because of this thread and you are new, please Wall me so that I know what it is pertaining to. I do not follow random low stat players back because it causes me to have to look through too many players names on my friends list that I rarely talk to. Thanks again everyone!

 

Here is a Battle pop-up window for reference on Tutor Bonus. I couldn't figure out how to resuze and didn't want the messy look in the main thread.
