I've just started my monk on the mino's. Its easy and good money. But for some reason after about 20 or so runs my drops completely STOP, i get nothing, zippo, except a kick in the nads. I have to leave it for a couple hours and use my monk for something else like a mission. This kinda takes away from the point of farming mino's if you cant do it a lot in a short space of time. Does this happen to anyone else? And anyone know why this happends?
thanks for any feedback

PS: my friend can do it ALL day and his drops never stop

Anti-farm code, so you can't overfarm one area.

Usually doing 1 or 2 missions stops it again and you can go farming again.

This goes to the farming section of the forum.

I don't farm minotaurs.

Try NOT to farm you'll have more fun that way.

Plus if you look too much like a bot, you can get your account banned, even if you play by yourself. That happens a lot, judging from the posts here.

ive also farmed minos and i do it alot of times and then i start killing them all and it only drops a few things, 3 at the most. of course when that happens i stop for a while and then come back and start farming again, so yeah its kinda happend to me before too.

Just switch areas, I don't farm much but when I do 55hp for example I go Trolls, Hydras, Minos, Blessed Griffons etc. As people have said it's the anti-farming code, but just move around then rinse and repeat.

No, don't close this thread, the OP's question really hasn't been answered.

I avoid the drop loss by doing more: continue up to next portal or to next town killing as you go, once you go through the portal, you can map back to where you started, rinse repeat.
