Farming Guide
Zeny Farming Guide
This guide covers beginner-friendly methods to earn zeny consistently on a Renewal server running episode 17.2. All methods focus on farming tradeable items that have steady player demand.
Core Concept
The basic zeny loop in Renewal is simple:
- Kill monsters that drop tradeable items
- Sell those items via your personal vending shop or directly to other players
- Reinvest zeny into better gear to farm faster
The key is choosing monsters whose drops are in constant demand — consumables, crafting materials, and equipment components that every player needs regardless of progression stage.
Method 1: Sleeper Farming + Great Nature Splitting
Overview
Sleepers are Earth-element monsters that drop Great Nature — a level 3 elemental stone used in crafting and enchanting recipes. This is one of the most accessible farming methods because the map is low-risk, any AoE class can clear it efficiently, and Great Nature has reliable, consistent demand.
Location
| Field | Map ID | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Einbroch Field 04 | ein_fild04 |
Primary Sleeper spawn, easy access from Einbroch |
| Thor Volcano | thor_v01 |
Alternative location, higher mob density |
Recommended Classes
- High Wizard / Warlock — wide AoE, clears clusters in one cast
- Ranger — Arrow Storm covers large areas
- Creator / Genetic — Cart Cannon for reliable AoE damage
Step-by-Step
- Travel to
ein_fild04(warp from Einbroch) - Use AoE skills to kill Sleeper groups; they have low HP and no dangerous skills
- Loot all Great Nature drops; also pick up Garlets and Cyfar as bonus vendor trash
- Before selling, check the current market price for Great Nature
- If the price is high → sell Great Nature whole to players
- If the price is low → bring Great Natures to the Stone Refiner NPC and split them into smaller elemental stones for potentially better total value
- Set up a vending shop in a busy town (Prontera main square or your server's market hub) and price slightly below the current market rate to sell quickly
Great Nature Splitting
Great Nature can be broken down into multiple smaller elemental stones via the Stone Refiner NPC. The profitability of splitting versus selling whole depends entirely on current server prices — check both before deciding.
Expected Loot
| Item | Sell To | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Players (vending) | Core drop, steady demand | |
| NPC | Small but adds up over time | |
| Players or NPC | Crafting material, check player demand | |
| Players | Occasional drop, decent value |
Method 2: Geffenia Farming — Rings
Overview
Geffenia is one of the classic high-value farming zones in Ragnarok Online. The monsters here — Violies, Abysmal Knights, and Incubi — drop Ring[1] and Clip[1], which are BIS accessories for many mid-game builds. They also drop Bloody Rune and Yellow Bijou, both of which have consistent player and crafting demand.
Prerequisites
- Complete the Sign Quest to unlock access (or your server's custom access method — check the wiki or Discord)
- A character capable of one-shotting or near-one-shotting mobs
- Holy-element weapon or Holy Water-enchanted weapon for elemental advantage against Undead/Demon types
- Sufficient HP and survivability — mobs in Geffenia can kill unsuspecting players quickly
Location
| Map | Map ID | Mob Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Geffenia 01 | gefenia01 |
Violies, general loot |
| Geffenia 02 | gefenia02 |
Abysmal Knights, Rings |
| Geffenia 03 | gefenia03 |
Incubus / Succubus, Clips |
| Geffenia 04 | gefenia04 |
Mixed, high density |

General Tips for Any Farming Method
- Dedicated vending character — never vendor from your farming character. Park a separate alt in town with a shop so you can farm uninterrupted.
- Monitor the market — check the server's player economy channel or vending search regularly. Demand shifts after patches, events, and content updates.
- Use Bubblegum — Bubblegum (+50% item drop rate), use it during active farm sessions to maximize returns.
- Price smart — if demand is high, price at market rate, not below it. Undercutting yourself costs zeny for no reason.
- Session length — short focused sessions with active selling are more efficient than long sessions where your inventory sits unsold.
