A lately found loot farming location in The First Descendant is able to an infinite output of loot. Known as ‘The Valby Run’ by the neighborhood, the Strategic Outpost location inside the Fortress can respawn enemy mobs infinitely. In consequence, it’s able to providing merchandise drops at round a 2-3 instances increased charge than different areas, in keeping with the developer.

Since this was utterly unintentional and since we’re so used to it with different loot-based video games, everybody anticipated this to get patched out earlier than later. As an alternative, the Director, Minseok Joo has introduced Patch 1.0.4. As an alternative of eradicating the extremely excessive effectivity of loot inside this mission, all different Strategic Outpost areas will now match the effectivity.

The First Descendant Patch 1.0.4 notes

Though the developer initially acknowledged no extra patch will probably be crucial subsequent week, it’s going to as a substitute deploy a hotfix, titled Patch 1.0.4. It is going to do the next:
