If you think it takes long to farm all the Plunderstorm rewards, we have some great news! A first-timer unlocked all rewards, including the recently-added ones, in just 2 days. Whether you’re new to this game mode or avoiding it due to PvP fears, this guide breaks down an effective strategy for success.
Tips for Newcomers
Here are some tips from the person who unlocked all rewards in 2 days.
- You can succeed with minimal player kills. Focus on Elites and Chests to collect the most Plunder.
- Best Abilities for Beginners:
- Offensive:
Fire Whirl, 
Mana Sphere, 
Slicing Winds, and 
Earthbreaker are really good choices. - Utility: Pair mobility (e.g.
Explosive Caltrops or 
Fade to Shadow) with defensive abilities (e.g. 
Lightning Bulwark).
- Offensive:
- Start by targeting nearby Elites and looting their drops. Use mobility items like the Mechano-Hog to keep moving fast.
- Abilities like Mana Sphere and
Celestial Barrage are great for AoE farming of XP and Plunder.
Recommended Playstyle
- At the beginning of the game, dive to the closest Elite and pick whatever it drops.
- If you see more Elites nearby, reach them quickly with a Barrel.
- Keep killing Elites and open chests. If you are lucky, you can get to level 6-8 in under 3 minutes, which puts you ahead of the majority of players. Players will try to avoid you when they see you’re at a higher level.
- Use Horses and mobility items to your advantage to move to the next area quickly.
- Adjust your keybinds to optimize movement and combat efficiency for smoother gameplay. It’s good to have auto-attacking bound to a key that you can spam easily while moving, instead of having it on T by default.
