Essential System Settings for AFK Farming

Before launching your party into battle, you must adjust specific system settings. The default game options are designed for active play and will severely hinder an automated party.

To configure your game for AFK farming, navigate to the Main Menu, select System, and open Game Options. Adjust the following settings:

Setting Name	Recommended Configuration	Why It Matters for AFK
Assist Mode	Full Assist Mode	Automatically attacks any enemy within range (Extreme difficulty and below).
Skybound Art (SBA) Activation	Immediately	Prevents AI from holding SBAs for a Full Burst, allowing frequent crowd control (CC) and consistent damage.

Selecting Your Active Character

If you are farming Extreme difficulty or lower, playing a ranged character with Assist Mode turned on is highly recommended. Ranged characters automatically target and initiate combat with distant enemies, pulling your AI team into the fray much faster. For Maniac and Proud difficulties, Assist Mode is disabled, meaning you will need to build your main character as an indestructible tank while your AI companions do the heavy lifting.

Best AI Characters for AFK Farming

Not all characters perform equally under AI control. The AI excels at executing perfect dodges, but it struggles with characters that require stationary, charged attacks. When bosses throw constant area-of-effect (AoE) hazards, charging characters often get stuck in a loop of charging, dodging, and resetting, resulting in terrible damage output.

Based on community reports and extensive player testing, the following characters are the absolute best choices for your automated party:

Character	Role	Key Strength
Eugen	Ranged DPS	Incredibly consistent ranged damage; frequently secures MVP status under AI control.
Zeta	Aerial DPS	Spam-loops her aerial attacks flawlessly; perfect-dodges mid-air to maintain offensive pressure.
Cagliostro	Support / Healer	Provides critical heals, debuff removal, and auto-revives to keep the team stable.
Twyin	Late-Game DPS	Unlocks supreme damage potential in end-game fights like Behemoth; easily clears massive waves.

Optimizing Zeta (The "No-Skill" Build)

A popular strategy in the player community is to remove all of Zeta's active skills. By equipping the Less Is More sigil, Zeta receives up to a 120% damage boost when no skills are equipped. The AI will simply spam her highly efficient aerial loop, perfect-dodge incoming attacks, and return straight to her loop, making her one of the most reliable damage dealers in the game.

AI Companion Sigil Builds

To clear higher difficulties like Maniac and Proud, your AI companions need high-performance gear. While they do not need to be fully min-maxed immediately, prioritizing the right traits will drastically cut down your clear times.

Sigil Type	Recommended Level / Quantity	Priority	Purpose
Damage Cap	4 Sigils (Maxed)	High	Essential to bypass the default damage ceilings.
Tyranny	1–2 Sigils	High	Massive attack boost at the cost of health (safely mitigated by AI dodging).
Link Together	1–2 Sigils	Medium	Speeds up Link Tempest generation for massive team attacks.
Nimble Onslaught	1 Sigil	Medium	Rewards the AI's perfect dodges with SBA gauge and cooldown reduction.
Glass Cannon	1 Sigil (Optional)	Low	High risk, but usable since the AI rarely gets hit.

Always remember to save your active play builds before altering your gear. Use the Party Sets feature (accessible by pressing the back button on the Party Menu) to save your manual setup to a blank slot. This allows you to quickly restore your personal build when you want to play actively.

The Ultimate AFK Tank Build (Player Character)

Because Assist Mode is unavailable on Maniac and Proud difficulties, your active character will not attack on their own. Instead of leaving them to die, you must build your player character as an immortal tank.

This tank build ensures you stay alive, passively regenerate health, and survive lethal blows without forcing your AI companions to stop DPSing to revive you.

Tank Build Sigil Priority

Sigil Name	Target Stat / Cap	Effect
Aegis / HP Up	99,999 HP	Caps your maximum health to survive heavy boss attacks.
Regen	Max Level (approx. 5,000 HP per tick)	Passively restores massive amounts of health every few seconds.
Potion Hoarder	Max Level	Increases potion inventory; pairs perfectly with Auto Potion.
Auto Potion	Level 15	Automatically consumes small potions when your health drops below a threshold.
Stout Heart	Equipped	Prevents your character from being staggered or knocked back by enemy hits.
Steel Nerves	Level 15	Grants up to a 15% flat damage reduction while Stout Heart is active.
Guts / Auto Revive	Equipped	Prevents one-shot deaths and automatically revives you if you fall.

How to Get Stout Heart and Auto Potion

Both of these crucial defensive sigils can be traded at Siero's Knickknack Shack in the Treasure Trade menu. If you are missing the required trade materials, run lower-level AFK quests to gather them effortlessly.

Unlocking Crab Vestment Returns

For the ultimate tank build, you will want the Crab Vestment Returns sigil, which provides substantial flat damage reduction. To unlock it, you must find the hidden Wee Pincer crabs scattered throughout the main story.

Once you complete the main campaign, these crabs will show up directly on your chapter selection map.

Open the Chapter Select menu and look for chapters with missing crabs.
Load into the chapter (Ultimate difficulty is fine, but lower is faster).
Hold down the right analog stick to view your map; a crab icon will pinpoint their location.
Pick up the crab, immediately quit the chapter (it saves automatically), and repeat.
Turn them in to the Crab Collector NPC near the river in Folca to claim your sigil.

High-Yield Farming Routes

Once your party is set up, you can begin farming the most sought-after resources in the game. To initiate an AFK farm, complete a quest manually once, then press Square (PS), X (Xbox), or 3 (PC) on the rewards screen to toggle the Repeat Quest option. The game will automatically run the quest up to 10 consecutive times before requiring manual input.

Fortitude Crystal Farming: "Gulp... Rumored Monsters"

Fortitude Crystals are the primary bottleneck for weapon upgrades. This quest can be cleared in under four minutes by a competent AI team, yielding dozens of Medium and Large Fortitude Crystals per 10-run session.

Silver Centrum Farming Route

Silver Centrums are required for upgrading Terminus weapons and awakening your best gear. The most efficient way to farm them involves a combination of direct drops and treasure trading:

[Step 1: Run "Death, Taxes, and Goblins" (10 Runs)] 
                         │
                         ▼
[Step 2: Run "Golemology 103" (10 Runs)]
                         │
                         ▼
[Step 3: Trade Broken Savage Swords & Crowning Parapets at Siero's Shop]
                         │
                         ▼
             [Receive Silver Centrums]

By alternating between these two quests, you will collect direct Silver Centrum drops while hoarding Broken Savage Swords and Crowning Parapets. You can trade 12 of each material at Siero's Knickknack Shack for additional Silver Centrums, doubling your farming efficiency.

Endless Ragnarok Farming FAQ

How do I enable automated attacks for AFK farming?

To enable automated attacks, go to System > Game Options and turn on Full Assist Mode. This mode is only available on Extreme difficulty and below. For higher difficulties, you must build your player character as a passive tank while your AI companions handle the combat.

What is the maximum number of times I can repeat a quest automatically?

The game allows you to repeat a quest up to 10 times consecutively. After the tenth run, you must manually restart the loop. This limit was implemented by the developers to prevent infinite, unattended farming.

Why is Zeta's "no-skill" build recommended in this Endless Ragnarok farming guide?

Removing Zeta's skills allows you to equip the Less Is More sigil, which boosts her clean damage by up to 120%. Because the AI excels at executing her aerial loop and perfect-dodging, she becomes a highly consistent damage dealer without wasting time on skill animations.

Can I use my main character as an active fighter in Proud difficulty AFK farms?

No, because Full Assist Mode is disabled on Maniac and Proud difficulties. Your player character will stand idle unless manually controlled. It is highly recommended to build your character as an immortal tank with high HP, Regen, Stout Heart, and Auto Potion so they can survive passively while the AI wins the fight.
