Farming

A term that means going out into explorable areas or missions and killing monsters for the singular purpose of gathering gold and items. i.e. killing mobs for loot. Often you will find parties (especially in the harder areas of the game) searching for people to go farming with them. Farming can be done to find better weapons, gather needed crafting materials or simply to generate gold.

Note: It is important to remember that the loot found in an area is proportional to the expected level of the character's development in the PvE game. That is, farming in Old Ascalon will yield items suitable for character of level 3 to 6, even if the party farming is all level 20, while farming in the Ring of Fire Islands will yield level 20 loot.
