Default Farming Mino's

I've just started my monk on the mino's. Its easy and good money. But for some reason after about 20 or so runs my drops completely STOP, i get nothing, zippo, except a kick in the nads. I have to leave it for a couple hours and use my monk for something else like a mission. This kinda takes away from the point of farming mino's if you cant do it a lot in a short space of time. Does this happen to anyone else? And anyone know why this happends?
thanks for any feedback

PS: my friend can do it ALL day and his drops never stop

Anti-farm code, so you can't overfarm one area.

Usually doing 1 or 2 missions stops it again and you can go farming again.

This goes to the farming section of the forum.

I don't farm minotaurs.

Try NOT to farm you'll have more fun that way.

Plus if you look too much like a bot, you can get your account banned, even if you play by yourself. That happens a lot, judging from the posts here.

It does happen to them, they just don't notice it. The anti-farming code happens to everyone, no matter what.

Just switch areas, I don't farm much but when I do 55hp for example I go Trolls, Hydras, Minos, Blessed Griffons etc. As people have said it's the anti-farming code, but just move around then rinse and repeat.

No, don't close this thread, the OP's question really hasn't been answered.

I avoid the drop loss by doing more: continue up to next portal or to next town killing as you go, once you go through the portal, you can map back to where you started, rinse repeat.





plz don't post just to bump you post count, it is useless and contributes nothing to this or any forum.
