The biggest concern for many players after entering an MMO is where and what to farm to get loot to sell and develop their character, and this is also true for Cabal Online.

But to be honest, I have been avoiding this topic, mainly because it is very specific and usually gets outdated quickly. Because every update adds new content to the game, every few weeks we get new events, and every year there are sleazy scammers who destroy the game market by releasing software that farms dungeons for people.

Last but not least, there is another factor that I can safely say that a lot of people will learn from such guides. So if I prove that Ruina Station is the most profitable dungeon, everyone will flock there, instead making it the least profitable dungeon simply because it leads to an overabundance of loot that people usually farm there.

So with all these factors in mind, I will not tell you what to farm. It will not make you rich, and you still need a lot of luck and hard work if you want to go further.

In this guide, we are going to show you the methods that people used to farm and maybe give you some guidelines on what works best for you, as well as some general tips on what to focus on when farming.

Disclaimer

Before we get started, I have to throw in a disclaimer. Because this isn’t like a scientific study of how things work, this is just my opinion and I’m just talking about this from experience, so there are definitely more efficient methods that I just don’t know about. Of course, all the super successful people out there are welcome to share their ideas!

Farming Methods

Now that I mentioned farming methods, let’s start with that.

Casual Farming

We’re going to call the first method casual farming. This method is for people who really just open up the game once in a while to spend an hour of their free time and don’t really have any future plans.

You just open the dungeon list in the menu, scroll with your mouse and select whatever you want to do, just don’t do anything too difficult. There’s always some friends or guild mates to chat with and enjoy a stress-free game.

This method won’t really get you far in the game, but it’s a very fun way to kill time when you don’t have anything better to do or don’t want to focus. But of course, there is always a slight chance to get lucky and get some valuable loot, like Extenders or Bikes.

Focused Farming

For the second method, I will call it focused farming. This is for more dedicated players who like to set some goals for themselves and are willing to spend time to get achievements.

The way the loot system of Cabal Online dungeons works is that the chests or bosses in each regular dungeon can drop weapon and armor parts, Upgrades and Force Cores, and occasional rare items like Epaulets, Extenders and Bikes.

But almost every dungeon has some kind of loot that is specific to that dungeon and cannot be obtained elsewhere.

When you click on the entrance of a dungeon, a tab will appear with a list of most of the notable loot. Usually, at the end of that list, you can find things that are unique to that dungeon. For example, Awakened Hazardous Valley is the only place where you can loot Orphidia’s Amulet.

Grinding

The third method I call grinding. Every common monster and every treasure chest in Eternal Chaos Arena and Glacies Inferna drops fragments, which can be used to obtain Divine Stones or Chaos Cores.

These fragments are almost guaranteed, and are also affected by the drop rate boosts from Premium Services, Blessing Beads, and Events. This means that you will get more or less the same number of fragments with each run.

So with each run you are guaranteed to get a certain amount of Cabal Online Alz income, without having to rely on luck. But this is also the downside: you also have no chance of getting something more valuable!

This method is perfect for people who like to listen to music or watch movies while doing the same thing repeatedly.

My Advice

Next, I will give you some advice on sticking with these methods to keep farming.

Prioritize Completing Dungeons With Low Entry Fees

The first advice I will give you is to minimize your dungeon entry costs. That is, only run those dungeons with lower entry fees that your income will cover, even if you only find a few Upgrade Cores.

Don’t forget to take advantage of the free entries that are mailed after completing certain dungeons. If you open the entrance window for any dungeon, you’ll see a section with the mailed rewards.

Also, keep in mind that for some dungeons, you can actually complete them up to 3 times a day using free entries you get in the mail, essentially eliminating the entry fee altogether. Unfortunately, this only applies to lower-tier dungeons, but there are still a lot of them, so you can spend hours completing them.

Keep Small Items

The second piece of advice is, don’t underestimate the value of small stuff! Over time, they add up, and you’d be surprised how much money some people waste on small stuff that they just throw away.

For this reason, I usually keep Upgrade and Force Cores pieces for crafting, as well as common Scrolls like Attack or Crit Damage. I throw them into Agent Shop when I don’t have anything else more valuable to put there.

As for Alz loot, I personally also learn and max out 3 runes, just because I need those rune slots in the future for higher-level stuff that I can’t afford right now. It’s useful in the long run.

Also, when running dungeons that drop Palladium equipment, sometimes it’s not worth it to extract them, since Astral Cores are almost worthless.

But if you have some inventory space to keep these items until you finish the dungeon, NPCs will actually pay quite a bit for them! One piece of armor costs over 100,000, so if you sell about 3 or 4 pieces, that’s already the price of an Upgrade Core.

Use Potions Wisely

One last thing to mention: the difficulty of the chosen dungeon and the use of buff potions and elixirs. Many players want to complete some dungeons that are beyond their ability, and in order to make up for the missing equipment, they use potions.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with doing this. After all, this is one reason these potions exist. As long as you complete a quest once, see what that dungeon is like, complete an achievement, or prove to your friends that you’re awesome, then it’s fine. But it’s not good to keep farming, and you’ll just end up wasting a lot of potions.

Instead, I recommend saving these potions for when you’re farming dungeons that you can complete without too much effort. Using these can greatly increase the speed at which you can clear these dungeons.

Some less profitable activities, usually Hunting Events, will often reward players with these potions, so it’s a good idea to stack them up for later use.

All in all, I hope this information will be helpful in your dungeon farming, and all veteran players are welcome to share their thoughts on this issue. See you next time!
