The Rungard region in Raven 2 is strictly for those level 75 and up. And boy, does it deliver on loot—every single hunting ground drops new items, providing a prime opportunity to beef up your stats via the Item Collection. Even better? Every spot drops rare crafting blueprints. It is high time to start farming these to prepare for those Heroic blueprint fragments and the upcoming November update. Let’s dive into the drop tables and what you need to know.

Q. Any tips for farming in Rungard?
A. Look, you need those rare blueprints every month, and this is exactly where you farm the materials.

Raven 2 gives you two chances every month to trade in finished rare blueprints for 20 Heroic blueprint fragments of the same type. With that in mind, Drop locations for new equipment in Rungard, we have mapped out the blueprint drops. On the right side of the chart, you will find a summary of the new equipment and collection items we discussed in our previous KookminTree Tips session. Keep this handy as you juggle farming and collection work.

Every hunting ground in Rungard drops rare crafting blueprint fragments, so pick your poison based on your stats and goals. The 80-level 'Secret Laboratory' and the final 'Immortal Pilgrimage Road' are the ones to watch; they drop finished rare weapons, armour, and accessories. Plus, they offer a wider variety of loot and collection items compared to other zones.

If you are not the collection-completionist type, flipping these on the exchange is a solid choice. Rungard is the latest high-level zone, and if your main quest progress or gear score is lacking, you will likely be relying on the exchange. Use this to your advantage and stack up some crystals.

Q. Anything else worth grabbing in Rungard?
A. Take down the guards to complete your collection and snag a +1 Accuracy bonus.

Once you have settled into Rungard, make sure to keep an eye out for the 'Victory Written in Blood' collection. You will need 5 each of the Allied Force Insignia (Trainee, Regular, and Elite grades). The reward? A flat +1 Accuracy. You can farm these by taking down the guards in Triano, Urdel, and the Allied Temporary Base. Note that these guards are non-aggressive, so you will have to target them manually.

A word of caution: watch out for chain-aggro. If you attack one guard, their buddies will jump in. If things go south, do not bother with a return scroll—use a teleport scroll instead. Since this is village combat, you might land nearby and still have them hot on your heels. Your best bet is to escape to the outskirts before using a return scroll. My own testing confirms this is the best way to drop their aggro.

Check the 'Achievements - Combat' section for the Rungard guard-slaying achievement. Defeating one guard in each location nets you the item you need. Keep in mind that while collections are shared across characters on the same server, achievements are not. If you have an alt, use it to knock out these achievements to save yourself the grind. Sorry guards, nothing personal, just business!

Q. Anything special to prepare for in Raven 2 right now?
A. It would be wise to start prepping for the November Gunslinger update.
