Manual diamond farming remains one of the most reliable and rewarding activities in Legend of Ymir, especially for players who prefer steady progress over automated systems. In this guide, I will break down a full manual diamond farming session in the Canyon of the World Tree, sharing not only the final results but also everything learned along the way. If you are considering farming this map yourself, this article will give you a realistic picture of what to expect.

Before diving in, a quick word for players who prefer a faster route to progression. If you are looking for cheap and reliable Legend of Ymir Diamonds, ELD.gg offers competitive prices.

Pre-Farming Setup: Establishing a Clean Baseline

Before starting the farming session, it is important to establish a clean reference point. Before entering the Canyon of the World Tree, both the personal market and regional trade listings were empty—no active listings and no sellable items.

This step is critical. By starting with zero inventory and zero listings, every item sold afterward can be attributed entirely to this single manual farming session. This removes any ambiguity when calculating profits and allows for accurate efficiency analysis.

Once confirmed, a timer was started to track the total farming duration, along with counters to record:

· The number of Baldic Root kills

· The number of Mimir encounters

With everything set, the manual farming session began.

Best Time to Manually Farm Baldic Root

One of the most important factors for successful manual farming is timing. From repeated experience, Baldic Root farming is significantly more efficient when the map population is low.

The best farming windows tend to be:

· Immediately after the daily reset, when most competitive players rush the daily content

· During large-scale events, such as server wars, when attention shifts elsewhere

· Late-night or midnight hours, when overall server activity drops

If you are strong enough and part of a competitive guild, server wars should still be your priority. However, outside those obligations, identifying quiet periods on your server dramatically improves Baldic Root farming efficiency.

Baldic Root Spawn Behavior and Channel Strategy

From consistent observation, Baldic Root spawns appear limited to two active instances per channel at a time. After killing one and moving to another nearby spawn point, another Baldic Root often appears shortly afterward. While it may sometimes feel like three are present, further review shows this typically occurs due to channel switching.

Regarding respawn timing, while there is no official data available, practical experience suggests:

· Respawn time is significantly faster than 30 minutes

· If two Baldic Roots are killed within a short window (around one minute apart), it is more efficient to switch channels immediately

Staying too long in a channel after clearing both spawns usually results in wasted time waiting for respawns.

Loot System: Understanding Damage Priority

One of the most debated aspects of Baldic Root farming is loot distribution. Based on extensive personal testing, the system does not appear to be first-hit or last-hit based. Instead, loot seems to favor the highest total damage dealer.

Key observations:

· If Baldic Root is already at half HP or lower, attempting to contest it is usually inefficient

· If the monster is near full HP and your DPS is strong, you can still secure loot even without the first hit

· Aggro behavior is the clearest indicator of damage priority

If the Baldic Root switches aggro from you to another player mid-fight, it is a strong signal that they have overtaken you in total damage and will likely receive the loot.

This is part of MMO competition and should be expected in open-world farming. Understanding these mechanics helps avoid unnecessary frustration and wasted effort.

Spawn Locations and Route Optimization

Baldic Root spawn locations in the Canyon of the World Tree are fixed. Displaying these locations on-screen and planning a consistent route is highly recommended.

A loop-based route allows for:

· Regular checks of all spawn points

· Predictable rotation timing

· Easier detection of external interference from other farmers

If Baldic Roots stop appearing for an extended period, reversing the route can help realign your movement with the respawn cycle. Over time, manual farmers naturally develop a sense of rhythm that aligns movement patterns with spawn timing.

Farming Session Results

The total farming session lasted 2 hours and 24 minutes, roughly two and a half hours.

During this time:

· 44 Baldic Roots were defeated

· 2 Mimir encounters occurred

In terms of drops, the session was exceptionally fortunate. One accessory dropped that could be sold for Wemix, which translates directly into real-world value. Interestingly, this item likely dropped from a nearby normal monster hit by AoE damage rather than from Baldic Root itself—proof that small encounters can sometimes deliver the biggest rewards.

Diamond Profit Breakdown

After listing all sellable items obtained from the session:

· Total diamond value reached 440 diamonds

· Within a few hours, nearly all items were successfully sold

· The Wemix accessory converted to approximately $5 USD at current rates

Aside from one slower-moving item, the market absorption was excellent, indicating strong demand for Baldic Root-related drops.

Final Thoughts

Manual farming in Legend of Ymir rewards patience, awareness, and timing. By choosing the right hours, understanding spawn behavior, and optimizing routes, players can consistently generate diamonds while enjoying a relaxed gameplay loop.
