Smart Farming Tips
- Listen for the ping. Each altar gives off a faint pinging sound when you get close.
- Clear the area first. Breaking an altar can attract another group of Moon Cultists.
- Run one loop after reset. Go through all 11 districts right after 08:00 UTC for maximum efficiency.
- Stack your rewards. Combine altar runs with Moon Cultist kills to earn Event Keys. See our Division 2 farming tips for more.
