First Descendant players were excited about Nexon's recent announcement about farming improvements, but it turned out to be a translation error.
The First Descendant weakens Fortress Farm after all
In a follow-up post to X on July 22, The First Descendant provided a corrective statement regarding the farming changes: "We would like to inform you that we are preparing a patch without completely blocking the issue with The Fortress Outpost and allowing players to enjoy playing as before. However, at the same time, we will update the Fortress – Vulgus Strategic Outpost to align it with the efficiency of other farming locations."
The developer has clarified that the intention is to retain the Valby-run playstyle that players use for this farm, but the Fortress outpost's reward efficiency will be adjusted to "balance it with other regions."
The Vulgus Strategic Outpost in the Fortress is currently the most popular farming spot in The First Descendant due to a bug that causes enemies to spawn indefinitely. If you use Valby, you can spend hours running around and killing enemies while collecting gold, Kuiper Shards, and loot.
