Farm actively, exit early
Measure resources per reliable 10–15 minute cycle. A shorter run with a high completion rate beats a theoretical route that regularly fails.

Choose a farming route by completion rate and attention required—not by a screenshot of one unusually long run.

Disconnects, map variation, enemy targeting and live balance changes can end unattended runs. Follow Roblox and game rules; this guide covers in-game build decisions, not automation or macros.

Community reports suggest strong coverage, but rare gear and balance changes make this unsuitable as a beginner plan.
Build around a choke
Use area damage and survival. Test three runs before spending additional resources on a semi-AFK setup.
Optimize full-cycle value
Include setup time, failure risk and reward collection. Raw kills per minute are only one part of farming efficiency.
What should you measure?
Track start and end resources, total minutes, highest stable wave and the reason each run ended. That converts vague “AFK” claims into comparable results. Use the Wave Calculator to form a target, then replace the estimate with your own three-run average.
