Wishvale Setup (Critical Configuration)

Before farming, make sure Wishvale is set up correctly.

Storage

Ranch Management

This guarantees every sheep produces fleece.

Fleece Value

• Each fleece sells for at least 5,000 Leaves
• You can obtain:
  • Up to 4 fleece initially
  • Up to 6 fleece after expanding the ranch

Assign all other recruited NPCs to houses or facilities so their perks remain active.

---

Farming Battles for Massive Leaves

Once everything is set up:

• Fight any enemies, anywhere
• Enemy level does not matter (Level 1 or Level 100)
• Every 8–10 enemy groups defeated triggers massive income

You can either:

• Play naturally through quests
• Or actively farm random encounters

---

Cashing Out

After defeating around 10–11 enemy groups:

1. Return to Wishvale
2. Collect crops and items from the storage box
3. Gather all fleece
4. Sell everything at the shop

Results

• ~9,000+ Leaves from passive income
• ~31,000+ Leaves total in about 3 minutes

At this rate, farming for an hour yields over 500,000 Leaves.

Bonus: Forbidden Weapons for Faster Farming

If you’re wondering why damage output is so high, it comes from Forbidden Weapons.
