ambush farm?

Ok so, this is a bit embarrassing, but I've never been on one. I understand they're a certain AE mission type where you get a lot of ambushes, which can be farmed.

I don't really farm much, but I wanted to try these missions just to see how they work....and to test my tank on them. I've been farming a little bit recently for personal goals, and I'm using an Unai Kemen mission with Nemesis automatons. I do very well on it, but I have a feeling that it could go faster with a mission more suited for farming.

So how do I find an ambush farm mission? Are there some mission names that people widely use that I can search for?

Go to any AE interface, under search type in "Farm" or Farming" and try out a few, you'll find one to your likeing.

I use one where the damage is pure smashing/leatal other like the ones that do pure fire damage, it's all up to you.

A lot of them are fire dmg, like "FIRE!," “FRONTLOAD,” and the crappy yet popular Crey fire cyborgs because FA is the prime farmer these days.

Only S/L dmg one i know of off hand is by a guy named @cyvert dont know the title (it gets changed actually) but that’s the creator.

the one I use thats 100% S/L is called Phoe Says, a badly made mission in which all the bad guys are claws scrappers with only 2 attacks.

I can clear the ambush side of the mission on +1 x8 on my fire kin in about 5 minutes and walk away with 1500 AE tickets.

Thanks guys! I'll try to check these out.

I just created an energy damage farm based on FIRE! that should be good for Elec Armor & Energy Aura characters. Maybe others, too, depending on how well you handle electrical damage and END drain. Arc ID 495900.

Well I tried a couple of these tonight. Found one I really like. Pretty amazing stuff...really fun. Thanks again everybody.

Oh by the way.....what if I want to farm for shards? They don't drop in AE, so are there any known suggestions for regular farm missions? I've been using the nemesis one I mentioned.

Best shard farm I know is ITF. I'm sure there are better, but I know ITF pretty well and only hate the part on the dais/round raised place.

Yeah that's where I've gotten most of my shards, but I was hoping for something I could do solo. Guess it's just wishful thinking.

Because of the shard drop mechanic, you don't want to solo for shards. You can get shard drops off any kill that any player makes. I've heard of a person getting two shards off one kill, but I'm not sure that's legit.

Yeah I remember about that. But I can kill pretty fast myself, so I actually did manage to farm for shards at certain points. But yeah, overall the ITF is definitely faster...just can take some time to get a team going sometimes.

There is a cyborg mission that is the most ideal for farming, but for it to be the ideal you have to really build for it. I would just run missions against mob type that you would perform well against. Something with Elec armor will love Ritki missions.
