Server Hopping & Advanced Farming Techniques

Master server hopping and advanced farming techniques to maximize loot per hour and dominate resource collection.

Server Hopping & Advanced Farming

Server hopping is the secret to infinite resources. This guide teaches advanced farming techniques.

What is Server Hopping?

Basic Concept

How It Works:

  1. Farm all resources in current server
  2. Leave and join new server
  3. Resources respawn (server-side)
  4. Repeat for infinite farming

Why It Works:

  • Chests: Reset per server
  • Mining nodes: Reset per server
  • Boss spawns: Independent per server

Server Hopping Strategies

Resource Node Farming

Best For: Diamonds, Gold Ore, Iron

Route (Tundra Diamond Farm):

  1. Enter Tundra
  2. Run to all 5 Diamond node locations
  3. Mine all available nodes
  4. Leave server → Join new server
  5. Repeat

Efficiency:

  • Per server: 3-8 Diamonds (2 minutes)
  • 5 server hops: 15-40 Diamonds (10 minutes)
  • vs Normal farming: 3× faster

Chest Route Farming

Best For: Gold, Materials, Rare drops

Route (Ancient Sands Gold Farm):

  1. Spawn in Ancient Sands
  2. Open all 8 chest locations
  3. Total: ~2,000 Gold + materials
  4. Server hop
  5. Repeat

Efficiency:

  • Per server: 2,000 Gold (3 minutes)
  • 10 hops: 20,000 Gold (30 minutes)
  • = 40,000 Gold/hour

Boss Farming

Best For: Legendary drops, Blueprints

Method:

  1. Kill boss (5-10 minutes)
  2. Server hop (boss respawns)
  3. Kill again
  4. Repeat

Efficiency:

  • Without hop: 1 kill per 15 min (respawn wait)
  • With hop: 1 kill per 5 min (instant respawn)
  • = 3× more kills

Optimal Farming Routes

Tundra Diamond Route

Path:

  1. Spawn → North Ice Cave (2-3 nodes)
  2. East Frozen Lake (1-2 nodes)
  3. West Glacier (1-2 nodes)
  4. South Ice Temple (1-2 nodes)
  5. Center Yeti Area (0-1 nodes)

Time: 2-3 minutes per server Yield: 3-8 Diamonds Per Hour: 60-120 Diamonds (with efficient hopping)

Ancient Sands Gold Route

Path:

  1. Spawn → Oasis 1 (chest)
  2. North → Sand Dune chest
  3. East → Ruins chest × 2
  4. South → Oasis 2 (chest)
  5. West → Cave chest × 2
  6. Center → Elite mob area (chest)

Time: 3 minutes per server Yield: 2,000-3,000 Gold Per Hour: 40,000-60,000 Gold

Grasslands Material Route

Path:

  1. All Wood nodes (5 locations)
  2. All Iron nodes (7 locations)
  3. All chests (6 locations)

Time: 4 minutes per server Yield: 20 Wood + 15 Iron + 500 Gold Best For: Crafting materials, early game

Server Selection

How to Choose Servers

Low Population (best):

  • Fewer players = more resources
  • Less competition
  • Higher node spawn rates

New Servers:

  • Recently created servers
  • Usually empty
  • Fresh resources

Regional Servers:

  • Off-peak hours (3 AM local)
  • Most players asleep
  • Solo farming paradise

Server Indicators

Good Server ✅:

  • <10 players online
  • Resources available immediately
  • No other farmers visible

Bad Server ❌:

  • 20+ players
  • Nodes already mined
  • Chests looted

Action: Leave immediately, find better server

Advanced Techniques

Multi-Account Farming (Against ToS)

WARNING: Violates Terms of Service

  • Using alts to reserve servers
  • Holding resource spawns
  • Transferring loot

Penalty: Account ban Recommendation: Don't do it

Timing-Based Hopping

Strategy:

  1. Note when you clear server
  2. Return to same server after 15 minutes
  3. Resources respawned
  4. Farm again

Best For:

  • Limited server availability
  • Peak hours
  • Favorite servers

Group Hopping

Method:

  1. Party of 4 players
  2. Split the route (4 quadrants)
  3. Each farms their zone
  4. Meet at exit
  5. Hop together

Efficiency:

  • 4× coverage speed
  • Share rare finds
  • Social + efficient

Farming Optimization

Inventory Management

Before Hopping:

  • Empty inventory to bank
  • Make space for loot
  • Bring only essentials

Auto-Delete:

  • Set Common items to auto-delete
  • Keep only Rare+ drops
  • Saves time

Movement Optimization

Gear:

  • Helden Armor (extra dashes)
  • Super Ring (movement speed)
  • Speed Tonic (buff)

Path:

  • Straight lines between nodes
  • Dash on cooldown
  • Skip all mobs

Loot Filters

Mental Filter:

  • Diamonds: Always take
  • Gold Ore: Always take
  • Iron: Only if inventory space
  • Wood: Skip (too common)

Focus: High-value items only

Loot Per Hour Calculations

Example: Diamond Farming

Method: Tundra node hopping

  • 3 minutes per server
  • 5 Diamonds average per server
  • 20 servers per hour

Total: 100 Diamonds/hour

Value:

  • 100 Diamonds × 50 Gold = 5,000 Gold
  • Or craft Crystal Armor piece (50 Diamonds)

Example: Gold Farming

Method: Ancient Sands chest route

  • 3 minutes per server
  • 2,500 Gold average per server
  • 20 servers per hour

Total: 50,000 Gold/hour

Comparison:

  • Normal farming: 15,000 Gold/hour
  • Server hopping: 50,000 Gold/hour
  • = 3.3× more efficient

Common Mistakes

Hopping too fast

  • Gives "join cooldown" error
  • Must wait 30 seconds between hops

Not planning route

  • Wasting time wandering
  • Plan path before hopping

Fighting mobs

  • Mobs don't drop valuable loot
  • Skip everything, nodes only

Forgetting to bank

  • Dying = lose all loot
  • Bank every 5 hops

Server Hopping Etiquette

Do's ✅

  • Leave chests for others if you're full
  • Don't monopolize rare spawns
  • Share rare finds in chat

Don'ts ❌

  • Don't grief other farmers
  • Don't trash-talk server hoppers
  • Don't exploit bugs/glitches

Time Efficiency

When to Server Hop

YES - When:

  • Farming specific rare resource
  • Diamond hunting
  • Gold grinding
  • Blueprint farming (bosses)

NO - When:

  • Leveling (XP better in dungeons)
  • Learning content
  • Socializing with friends

Opportunity Cost

1 Hour Diamond Hopping:

  • Earn: 100 Diamonds
  • Miss: XP, boss practice, fun

Decision:

  • Need Diamonds urgently? Hop
  • Want to play casually? Dungeon

Auto-Farming (Macros - Against ToS)

WARNING: Macros are bannable

Some players use:

  • Auto-movement macros
  • Auto-collect scripts
  • AFK farming bots

Result: Permanent ban Recommendation: Manual farming only

Seasonal Events

2× Resource Events

When: Weekends, holidays Effect:

  • Double node spawns
  • Double chest loot
  • Double boss drops

Strategy:

  • Farm heavily during events
  • Stock up for weeks
  • Maximize efficiency

Pro Tips

💡 Bookmark Servers

  • Find good low-pop servers
  • Bookmark them (Roblox feature)
  • Return to same servers

💡 Farm During Off-Peak

  • 3-6 AM your timezone
  • Empty servers everywhere
  • 5× efficiency

💡 Discord Coordination

  • Farm with friends
  • Share server codes
  • Rotate servers as group

💡 Track Your Rates

  • Optimize route over time
  • Beat your records

Conclusion

Server Hopping = 3× Efficiency

Best Routes:

  1. Diamonds: Tundra nodes (100/hour)
  2. Gold: Ancient Sands chests (50K/hour)
  3. Materials: Grasslands nodes (mixed)

Golden Rule: Plan your route, skip mobs, bank often, hop efficiently!

Warning: Don't burn out. Server hopping is efficient but repetitive. Mix with fun content!
