Harvesting / Farming
Last updated 2007-10-28

Some gladiator and achievement badges are really hard to get. The only way is to find one or more specific missions with the right kind of foe. Most farming/harvesting requires a full 8 man team and 'Relentless' difficulty. Many achievement badges comes with a gladiator badge. Here's some help:

Slacker   Held for over 30 minutes. At low levels family bosses have greats holds that might be safe for you.
Sleepy   2 hours of being held/mezzed/stunned. A good way to achieve this at lvl 40 is to get a Devouring Earth mission. Deathcap minions can both hold you and put you to sleep without damaging you too much. Since you'll wake up when hit (and begin healing) this is very safe.
Dazed and Confused   10 hours of being held/mezzed/stunned. Gives Wailer Queen Gladiator. If you have a self heal, you might even want to get a fungoid liutenant for more hold since their accuracy is better. You might even get a crystal liutenant to spawn an eminator that increase their accuracy. This way you'll get held about 30-50% of your time in a very safe way.
