yay a newbie friendly video .. thank you Rainer you are (and I mean that ) the best neverwinter youtuber .. you make want to get back to the game after 2 years break
I've killed SO many of them just driving around to do quests but they never dropped a map but will give it a shot. What I have found tho, is if you are in an area doing a quest (like saving the lost Clerics) the maps drop more frequently than they do if I am just going around killing random enemies. May be just anecdotal but always seems to work for me. Thanks again for all your hard work!
@Oliver Seiler Aye I am on PS4 as well and it doesn't seem to work on PS4 (the topic of this video). EDIT: It does work. The fall rate is poor but it works.
Been doing this since the drop of the mod. Once you received the first map by driving around and hitting the mobs and seen how fast they respawn it’s rather quite obvious. I think the best part of this is when others actually pull up beside you to watch what it is that you are doing! Haha
Thank you for the video. Tip for future, if you’re going to reference the map try giving out coordinates or posting coordinates in your notes for clearer descriptions. Again, thank you.
Thanks for the tip, I will try to think about that. I personally never use coordinates tbh, and I would assume most new players don't do that either but I might be wrong ;-)
I highly doubt that - maybe if you're a super dps then yes - but you might need a health potion every now and then and stuff does not respawn as quickly as these manes. This is so much easier
If you combine the first two triple mane spawns you showed into one loop, you can get about 45 maps an hour. There is another more complicated route to describe that will give you about 50 maps an hour.
Im not actually sure its worth it.. the manes respawn quicker than you can do the loop.. maybe you get slightly more but it won't be a big difference... I did 2 and 3 mane group rounds btw
@@RainerNW The loop I'm doing now hits 9 manes at about three seconds after they spawn. Your way saves three seconds, true. But I like doing the larger loops just for the sake of sanity. Just going backwards and forwards over the same spot for an hour or more is incredibly boring. Doing the larger loops is a lot more fun.
If nobody is in the area I typically do an 8 mane loop, might be slightly more efficient but you'd be hoarding 2 spawns. At this point though it doesnt really matter... everyone is doing BHEs :D
I found a road pattern to run over manes, yesterday I got 98 maps in 2 hours and 30 minutes, could have got more, but a few people were farming spawn spots. I'm farming maps to get my Pants of the Sentinel, which gives 3.8-4k defense. But it's getting annoying to loot like 10-12 weapon sets lol
I actually got the sentinel pants this morning or was it yesterday? Hmm but yea you can get very lucky with the amount of maps... I sometimes also run over 2 triple groups but im not sure its so much better
@@RainerNW sometimes you can get two maps from the trio groups. At least for me, the drop rate is so much better than farming other areas. I killed enemies around 30 min and get just 2-3 maps lol
hey rainer, do you think the upcoming weapon from the redeemed citadel is going to be better than this set? im hesitant to spend the (albeit not that bad amount of) time on my alt mains if thats going to be the case. especially if the weapons are a limited time thing with no return in sight. that will be a yikes if the personal progress is character-based though
If they are the same as before when in collections, they will be higher item level and have higher base weapon damage. Legion Guard weapons might help you with the grind though - this event is going to be long if I understand it correctly (months)
Not bad. Still works, too. But after 20 maps or so, I got motion sickness. Sigh. Also, i found a place where two groups of mobs spawn close to each other, so it's even faster.
Do you need any quest active/progressed to get these maps? I have access to this area and the war machine but I haven’t gone very far in the campaign, can I still do this?
Wait I know that in real life you aren't supposed to hit and run, but why would it be bannable in NW?! This is a regular NW mechanic and you even get achievements at 6, 66 and 666 manes killed
@@RainerNW the thing is, it seems bannable because it basically exploits the high mane spawn rate to your advantage. But i'm interested in the achievement and I dunno if i should go for it or not. How likely do you think are we to experience a ban wave for this?
Hmm strange that its not working for you.... I put in the timelapse in the video to actually show how well this works - there must be something off then
Finally I have a chance to upgrade my weapons!. Everytime I get to Avernus I just get slaughtered. Thanks, Rainer!

I used this technique earlier today to pick up my matching offhand. Thanks, Rainer!

Usually you dont even notice when you get a map.. at least I didn't... they show up so sneakily :P But you could have a point, not sure
@Oliver Seiler hmmm maybe console doesnt have the map fixes yet then, which unlocks the mane farming

Well yea I also knew it longer of course, but didnt have the time to get the video out. Lots of people didnt know though :-)
Doing this since 20 mins now and didn’t get an single map

I found this "way" of farm almost 2 weeks ago, when I was trampling 666 banes to get the "Grinder of Demons" title.
Yea I also got that title on a couple of toons already :D I know it was known already
@@RainerNW bless you for making the video for us. I have shared it with players that cry they can't do the new content.
@@barbettebonanza7411 Yea this video is exactly for those players :-)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You helped me get some awesome weapons for my alts way before they should have em! Lol tyvm. keep up the great videos!!!!
Glad to help :-) Enjoy your new goodies!
Works on PS4 hell yeah great vid, Ty.
Oh nice so only on xbox it doesnt work then... or did you guys have a patch today?
And it’s faster to just kill in grey knuckle camp. Or in scab so if u r strong enough do that

Ty so much rainer i use this video daily🤘🤘
Glad you enjoy it!
I went through 400 Maps and still didn’t get anything. RNG wasn’t on my side. I opted to just go with the Hellfire Engine set.
Once more thanks for investigating this m8!
Np and have fun :-)

Yea now that theres less people farming these maps its even faster 🙂
Should've put Tara Reed in the title :)
😅
I just Subscribed to your channel I love this game.
Thanks for subscribing :-) If you have any questions let me know!
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
can you collect all your maps in any one of those locations or do different maps have to be collected in certain ones? Thanks for the vid ❤
Nvm just figured it out :))
All maps drop everywhere :-)
Does this still work with the car?? Update still works. Figured out if you kill 54 little guys you get a map. Tested it twice and that's the number
Still works!
now everyone will just abuse that, till hotfix soon (that will probably break some more stuff)
Dunno whether this is going to get hotfixed. I think most people have their weapons already anyway ;-)
Do you need any quest active/progressed to get these maps? I have access to this area and the war machine but I haven’t gone very far in the campaign, can I still do this?
I don't think you need any progress to start doing this :-)
Rainer thank you mister! Awesome guides as always ❤️
If u are using under mountain starter gear u won’t be able to get into that area cus u can’t do entry quests
You can always group up to do entry quests. With 2 people even with undermountain gear it should be fine ;-)
So pretty much just drive over manes for maps?
Exactly, especially at the locations I showed where the spawn
Thank you. I pick everything. Just, i don't understand, why they doit so complicated. :)
thanks
You're welcome!
Awesome video Rainier. How to try the area sometime. Nermaleye signing out.
You should!
That seems kinda risky... Are you sure there won't be bans for this?
Just don’t do it then
Risky? Ban? For what lol?
Don't do it then

@@ronben-ezer8373 I would say the chance is extremely close to 0%
Can you give coordinates for map farming mul spots?
Uhhhh...2630, 2021.. 2371, 2410 and 2364, 3615
@@RainerNW thank you very much. thanks for keeping NWO alive in some compacity
this is fo real the easyest way xD
Mate are you sure this is not an exploit of a bug? Maps should definitely not to be farmed like that!
Why would this be an exploit...? You get 3 achievements for killing manes, they are not going to ban people for killing manes...
I prof that with my Tank now haha .
Haha problem fixed now :D
I hear from a Guy in my Allianz that when he run in group with a heal he have the same problem haha.
Is this still viable
Hi there, yes it is, some people might actually still be doing this, but now the maps really just are for RP and maybe gear collections.
Grand Theft Auto: Avernus
lol yea :D
Grand Theft Rainer: Avernus :D
Great video, but ( inb4 hotfix ) ...
Possibly.. weve had like 4 fixes to drop rates already
Doesn't work... (PC)
after messing around with item level and continuing. after around 40 mins i dropped 1 map..
Hmm strange that its not working for you.... I put in the timelapse in the video to actually show how well this works - there must be something off then
This still working?
Yes is working, tyvm
17 maps in 25 min
There is a n00b streamer playing Neverwinter go give her pointers the fail is great in BBinheelz on twitch.
No need to be mean to a new player ;-) but yea I saw this comment too late to go to the stream
i normally get like 5 Maps with ease then after that the RNG is so rubbish no drops
Ive got 2 Maps in 30 mins with this method...
Hmmm that's really odd... I am swimming in maps.... Are you sure you tried 30 minutes? Sometimes you can get unlucky for a while
@@RainerNW Yes i think they did something with the droprate idk.
I have more effort to kill random enemies
really? :D
Yup!
