This guide will explain how to farm efficiently with Lightbringer (LB) class once you reach the end game.

1. Cast Delay Reduction

Cast delay (not skill CD) is very important for LB farm efficiency. With offline farming, you can have maximum benefit from low cast delay.

Sources of cast delay reduction, from highest to lowest:

Prontera Royal/Comodo map buff (25%, or 35% with cat buff)
Tips: You can reroll the cat bonus by logging out of the game or changing channel (you can get MS or Cast Delay reduction from this).

Offhand: Pardon Money/Sins of the Living (18%)

Food: Original Will Salad (6 × 2.5% = 15%)

Tail: Silver Bell/Panel Guardian (10%)

Shadow Offhand: Arcane Codex +15 (30% × 16% = 4.8%)

If you use all of them, you will have 72.8% (82.8% with cat buff) cast delay reduction. You don't have to use everything, but the higher your cast delay reduction, the higher your income will be.

Some newer costumes have bad performance with offline farming cast delay, it is recommended to use Default Blacksmith costume (the leftmost option in class costume)

2. Movement Speed

Same as other farming classes, movement speed (MS) is also important. More MS = more income. The maximum MS is 330.

Sources of movement speed from skills:

Merchant: Change Cart Aeisr Rune (30%)
Take the MS increase (30%)
DO NOT take the MS reduction (-30%) highlighted in white rectangles
Check Change Cart skill in Merchant to make sure you don't take the bad rune
You don't need to take the skill for the MS bonus

Blacksmith: Adrenaline Rush Aeisr Rune (6%)
Whitesmith: Cart Boost (30%)
Mechanic: Anti-Gravity Armor (25%), with S rune Rapid Armor Rune (1-25%)

Ideally, your Prepare for Elite only contains Adrenaline Rush, Cart Boost, and Anti-Gravity Armor. You can add other buffs if you need damage to 1 shot the enemies.

You can use MS equipment and cards until you reach 330% movement speed. Use the filter feature in your handbook to find those.

Here are some recommendations:

Weapon: Heartbreaker (synth) tier V (15%)

Weapon (card): Magic Pattern Paper Card (5% per slot)

Headwear: Cake Thief (15%)

Face: Illusory Light Mirror (15%)

Mouth: Reaper Dagger (15%), Carp's Wish (10%)

Back: One Eye Captain/Ashy Star Flying Feather (30%)

Tail: Use cast delay equip instead!
The pet Cherry Snow Spirit gives up to 5% MS, or Sky Fox Student gives up to 6% MS (level 10 skill)

The arcane rune Frenzied also gives MS, but you need to have 480 attack speed.

3. Zeny Skills

This is what makes LB have good result even without reaching the same kill count as Stellar Hunter/Tyrant.

Skills to take:

Merchant: Fund Raising level 15 (30% more zeny)
Merchant: OverPrice level 10 (24% more zeny when selling to NPC)
This includes trash equipments you get from Comodo area, and Bag of Zeny from Prontera Royal area
Blacksmith: At least 1 level of Weapon Making or Enchanted Stone Craft
Doing this will allow you to obtain Magic Gear Fuel
Whitesmith: Greed level 10 (20% chance for extra drop)

If you already reached 330 MS, you can use zeny headgears instead of MS for more income. I recommend using the percentage base over the flat zeny ones, such as:

Head: A small secret

Face: Lucky Red Packet

Mouth: Carp's Wish

Back: Whistling Wind

Tail: Use cast delay equip instead!

4. Where and How to Farm

The auto skill slot should only include Prepare of Elite and one of Arm Cannon (AC)/Knuckle Boost (KB) (and Kingdom Sword for some extra kills). AC hits every enemy around the target, but will consume Shell for every cast (can be bought in item shop). Mistress ★ Card can remove this requirement.

Offline farming is mandatory!

With Mistress ★ Card

It is recommended to farm in Soul Hunting Ground using AC. The monster spawn is very dense and you can get multiple kills per AC quite often.
Expected raw zeny is around 18-23M+
You can also farm in Sweet Dream Field for Cloud Stone using AC. The monster spawn here is also very dense.
Expected raw zeny is around 13-16M+ with extra 3M+ autosell

Without Mistress ★ Card

It is recommended to farm in Royal Hunting Ground using KB. The monster spawn is not as dense as other maps so it's fine to use the single target spell.
Expected raw zeny is around 12-14M+
Alternatively, you can buy Shell from item shop, just input the number of minutes you plan to do offline farm for. For example, if you plan to offline farm for 180 minutes, buy 180 stack of Shells
