๐ก Farming Philosophy
RiftRO is built to reward dedication, not luck alone. Thatโs why we balance drop rates to be generous but not game-breaking. This means:
- Players who farm smart, prepare builds, and use game tools wisely will be rewarded.
- Rare drops (especially MVP/MiniBoss cards) are still special and hold real value.
- Farming is a core part of your character progression, Zeny generation, and gearing.
โ MVP & Card Farming Warnings
- Artificially spawned MVPs (via GM/commands or Bloody Branches) will not reward MVP Points.
- Only MVPs killed in their natural spawn locations will count for MVP Point rewards and be subject to the standard drop rate rules.
With this system, farming in RiftRO stays fun, fair, and rewarding for all players โ whether youโre a casual hunter or an elite grinder.
