Mastering AFK Farming in the Latest Event: A Player’s Guide
The newest smithing and farming event in the game has got everyone buzzing. It’s fast-paced, rewarding, but also… let’s be honest—kind of tedious. Walking around manually submitting fruit, eggs, and gear over and over quickly becomes exhausting. If you’re like me, you’ve probably wondered if there’s a way to farm efficiently without staring at your screen for hours. Luckily, there is a method to AFK almost everything, and it works surprisingly well.
Understanding the Event Mechanics
Before diving into automation, it’s important to understand the core mechanics. In this event, you submit three types of items: fruits, eggs, and gear. The type of item doesn’t affect the basic reward; coal is given randomly. Rarity, however, influences weather events. These events temporarily boost your crafting speed up to tenfold, which can be a game-changer if you’re actively farming.
For players who don’t care much about weather events—or plan to AFK—the simplest approach is usually best. Common items like coconuts, basic eggs, or standard watering cans will do the trick. This way, you’re not wasting time overthinking which items to submit.
Setting Up for AFK Farming
Here’s the setup I’ve been using with great success. Place your commonly used items on your hotbar—watering cans in one slot, common eggs in another. Keep your inventory focused on fruits for easy access. A small tip: always open your inventory and leave it on fruit items before starting.
The real magic happens with a program like TinyTask. This lets you record your actions—selecting items, submitting them, moving between stations—and then play them on a continuous loop. It’s not perfect; sometimes the character wanders unpredictably. But if you tweak your setup and start in a consistent position, you can AFK for extended periods and accumulate substantial rewards.
From my experience, even a single session can net hundreds of common pieces and dozens of rare or legendary items. It’s also worth constantly crafting gem eggs if you want pets, as these offer the best potential rewards. Always keep your crafting tables active; even passive gains add up over time. If you’re looking to expand your pet collection, a good starting point is to buy grow a garden pets whenever possible, as these pets often provide useful bonuses.
Automating Purchases for Maximum Efficiency
A common bottleneck is running out of items to submit. That’s where AFK purchasing comes in. Using TinyTask, you can automate buying seeds, eggs, and gear. Start by recording a purchase session in the shop: scroll through the items, click “buy” for each, and reset the scroll bar at the end to loop correctly. Once you hit play, your character will continue buying indefinitely.
If you’re new to this or looking for economical options, focus on cheap grow a garden items. These allow you to maintain continuous AFK farming without burning through in-game currency too quickly. The system is slow but steady, ensuring your inventory remains stocked for extended AFK sessions.
Combining Multiple Shops
For those willing to experiment, it’s possible to automate multiple shops—seeds, eggs, and gear—simultaneously. This setup is trickier and prone to occasional errors, but running one shop at a time works flawlessly. Start with your preferred shop, record your actions carefully, and make sure to maintain your starting position for consistent playback.
One small nuance: avoid using the scroll wheel when recording; always drag the bar manually. It may sound finicky, but this prevents TinyTask from misaligning your clicks and breaking the loop.
Practical Tips for Long-Term AFK Success
Check your stations periodically. Even automated setups can occasionally glitch, so a quick reset keeps everything running smoothly.
Prioritize common items for submissions; high-rarity items are better reserved for strategic crafting or specific weather event goals.
Keep your hotbar organized. Items you frequently use for submissions or recall should be easily accessible.
Don’t forget gem eggs—they’re slow to open but yield some of the best pets and crafting rewards.
By following these steps, you can effectively farm rewards in this event while minimizing active play. It’s not just a time-saver—it’s a way to stay competitive without feeling burned out.
AFK farming in this event isn’t just convenient; it’s practically essential if you want to gather significant rewards efficiently. By understanding event mechanics, setting up your inventory smartly, and automating both submissions and purchases, you can maximize your output with minimal effort. Whether you’re chasing rare pets, crafting materials, or simply keeping your resources topped up, these strategies make it all achievable. Remember to balance automation with occasional checks, and you’ll have a steady flow of rewards without the grind.
