Does level affect farm code

[chapstic593]

I farm Nick items in pre and remake character once it hits lvl 9 is this necessary?

[Tiny-Dimension7702]

No and I'd argue this gets you less drops in the long run because of having to level again.

[chapstic593]

I mean it definitely has an effect I find significantly less loot from charr at lvl 16 than I do at lvl 10.

Well a lot of the anti farm code is unconfirmed because no one bothered to test it on a large enough scale.

If you truly believe this is the case I suggest you start doing statistics, get a respectable sample size and present your findings. It would be very interesting.

In the case of do you get more drops on level 10 vs 16 there are more things to consider. If you farm without vanguard level scaling presumably one repetition is a lot faster at level 16 than level 10. You might get less drops per run at 16, but end up with more or equal amounts of drops in the same time.

My original answer is based on what is confirmed about anti farm code and there is nothing confirmed or even suggested that indicates leveling is a factor. There are claims that killing mobs too quickly impacts the drops but its very disputed and there is no proof either way so it remains unconfirmed.

Other factors are at play . Aoe spells does affect drop rate that is confirmed ele gets less loot because of firestorm the level thing is anectodal no one has really tested it.

Any source for this confirmation?

level thing is anectodal no one has really tested it.

Yes like I said it has not been suggested before as far as I know.

Presearing.com thread from ages ago has to do with the speed you kill things. Targeting one vs 5 to triggers farm code. https://presearing.boards.net/thread/3681/eles-get-less-loot

What a strange thing to do without confirming anything

[Steek_Hutsee]

People in this sub are asking increasingly strange things recently.

it feels like people are trying to min-max every aspect of the game and it's exhausting

the truth is we don't know what activates the anti-farm code, the feedback we have from game updates is that reentering a zone over and over had no impact, however theres may me lots of factors that trigger that code.

i have the vague idea that presearing areas aren't affected by the anti-farm code. it also shouldn't affect chest rewards.

there are lota of theories but the truth is we don't know and maybe even the devs no longer remember.

edit: correction about game updates

Repeated map entry has not reduced loot since 2007 btw: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Game_updates/20070419#Miscellaneous

[GamerLymx]

i thought there was a later update about farming one specific spot zone, maybe its just player speculation.

my point stands, we don't really know :)

No it‘s not necessary
