Best Ways to Farm Gold

Although gold eventually becomes one of Stellar Blade's less useful resources, it can be incredibly helpful for getting more useful currencies later in the game (check out our Polymer Materials entry). Luckily, it's also incredibly easy to get your hands on. Simply kill enemies and they'll drop gold, meaning you have an infinite stream of cash. However, if you're looking to make money fast, the best way to drum up some funds quickly is to look for a populated area of enemies with a camp nearby so you can kill them all, loot the money, return to a camp, respawn them and then repeat.

There are several spots which are great for this, including the Northern Great Desert, the Barren Plains and some of the more linear missions like Matrix 11, which throw a lot of enemies at you in quick succession. However, one of the best spots is shown on the map above.

Head here and you'll enter a ravine filled with Hedgeboars and Boarlets. Considering the influx of enemies in this location, you can quickly slay through them all, pick up a ton of gold, then head to the Central Great Canyon supply camp, rest, return and repeat. Just make sure wherever you pick as your farming spot, you aren't fighting robotic enemies. They'll usually drop robot parts and not gold.

Best Ways to Farm Skill Points

Skill Points are arguably one of the most versatile things to farm in Stellar Blade. Whether it's killing enemies, finding data banks or completing quests, you'll accumulate EXP for a wide range of activities.

And so the easiest way to farm them is to pick either The Wasteland or the Great Desert and just try to chart every single thing you can. Loot every body you see for data banks, kill every enemy you come across and complete every side quest. Outside of finding cans, supply boxes and upgrades, most actions will reward you with EXP, and so you'll quickly have more skill points than you know how to spend.

Alternatively, you can also fall back to just finding populated areas with camps nearby where you can kill a lot of enemies quickly, rest, respawn them all and repeat. The Buried Ruins is a perfect spot filled with foes to fight and camps to rest at, while the Scrap Plains and the Northern Desert are great places for farming too.

Best Ways to Farm Micro Coils, Micro Drives and Micro Motors

Early in the game, you'll meet a vendor named Digger. He's a small robot that will shun any form of standard currency and instead ask for robot parts. These include Micro Coils, Micro Drives and Micro Motors.

To get access to these parts, you'll need to take down robots. There are a few spots where robots are particularly prevalent, with the Scrap Plains in The Wasteland being a great spot to track some down. But the best spot to farm robot parts is the Buried Ruins in the Great Desert. The entire area is marked on the map above.

Head here and roam around the centre killing any Old Droids and Turrets you find along the way. When you've cleaned out the area, find one of the numerous camps nearby, rest, respawn them and then repeat the cycle. Before long, you'll have a inventory full of parts and can cash them into Digger for some useful upgrades.

Another great spot for robot parts is Spire 4, which has a range of robotic enemies to fight, although you'll reach it past the point of no return. Considering you won't see Digger until you're just about to head off and face the final bosses of the game, it's arguably better to stick with the Great Desert when it comes to farming parts.

Best Ways to Farm Polymer Materials

If you're in the market for buying as many new outfits for Eve as possible, you'll want to start scrounging up Polymer Materials. Although the game treats these as rarer resources, the trick to increasing your stock is actually found at Sister's Junk in Xion.

Before we bump up our stock, we need to make as much money as possible. Feel free to jump up to our farming gold entry to get yourself a nice stack of cash. When you have it, head to Sister's Junk and speak to Kaya. At the top of her inventory is an endless stock of Polymer Materials.

Just head back and forth buying 99 of each stack. After a few runs back and forth, you'll barely ever find yourself running out of Polymer Materials ever again, and if you do, you can come back and do this any time.
