How to Farm Copper and Gold in MIR4

In MIR4, managing your currency is the absolute foundation of character progression. Many new players face the same frustration: they spend hours defeating monsters and completing quests every day, yet their pockets remain empty, leaving them unsure of where they went wrong. Efficient farming isn't just about leaving your character online 24/7. Instead, it relies on maximizing your efficiency per hour. By optimizing your quest routines, picking the right hunting grounds, leveraging the Auto-Combat system, and mastering the player-driven market, you can establish a steady income stream to fund your gear upgrades and boost your Combat Power (Power Score / PS).

Understanding the Currencies in MIR4: Copper vs. Gold

To farm efficiently, you must first understand the distinction between MIR4's two primary currencies:

Copper: The lifeblood of daily progression. Obtained directly from quests, monsters, and missions. It is consumed in massive quantities for upgrading skills, enhancing gear, and crafting.

Gold: The premium trade currency. It cannot be looted directly from normal field monsters. Instead, it is earned by selling tradable (unbound) items (materials, gear, tomes) to other players via the in-game Market.

Completing Daily Missions for Consistent Copper

For most players, daily missions and requests are the most reliable source of guaranteed Copper. While the payout from a single mission might seem minor, completing your daily cap consistently builds a massive fortune over time.

To maximize your daily routine, prioritize the following tasks:

Daily Repeatable Missions: Select areas that offer high Copper rewards and relevant crafting materials.

Request Quests: These are one-time chain quests that grant massive chunks of resources, Darksteel, and Copper.

Scheduled Events & World Bosses: Participate whenever they are active for bonus reward chests.

The biggest advantage of daily missions is their low entry barrier. Even if your Combat Power is relatively low, you can still easily clear these tasks. For casual players with limited time, completing your daily checklist is far more efficient than mindless grinding.

Maximizing Returns from Field Hunting

Field hunting is the bread and butter of MIR4, but many players make the mistake of thinking that higher-level monsters automatically mean better profits. If a monster takes too long to kill or drains your health potions, your net income per hour will drastically drop.

When choosing a hunting ground, evaluate the following factors:

Kill Efficiency: Can you defeat the monsters in 2–4 hits?

Monster Respawn Rate & Density: Are there enough monsters to keep you fighting without running around?

Potion Consumption: Are you spending more Copper on potions than you are earning from the drops?

Drop Viability: Does the zone drop tradable items (marked with a scales icon) that can be sold for Gold?

Pro Tip: Always clear out your inventory before a long farming session. If your inventory bags are full, your character will stop picking up valuable loot drops.

Optimizing the Auto-Combat System

The Auto-Combat (Auto-Hunting) system allows you to progress even when AFK. However, turning it on blindly will only lead to frequent character deaths and wasted time.

Before leaving your character to auto-hunt (especially overnight), make sure to:

Clear Your Inventory: Ensure you have enough free slots so your character doesn’t stop picking up loot.

Stock Up on Consumables: Purchase enough HP and MP potions to last the entire session.

Set Up Combat AI: Adjust your skill slots to disable high-MP skills that offer low damage-per-second (DPS) to save resources.

Pick a Safe Zone: Choose a map where the monster levels are slightly below your character level to guarantee 100% survival.

Market Trading: Converting Drops into Gold

Real wealth in MIR4 comes from the player Market. Since you cannot loot Gold directly from field monsters, you must become a savvy merchant.

Selling Extra Resources

During your grind, you will accumulate various drops. Do not let them sit idle in your bag. Categorize them immediately:

Tradable Materials (Scales Icon): List these on the Market. Even low-tier materials like uncommon Energy/Darksteel boxes or promotion materials sell quickly to high-level players.

Bound Materials: Save these strictly for your own Codex updates or gear progression.

Unwanted Gear: Combine them to attempt higher-tier gear rolls, or seal them if they are tradable to sell on the market.

Watching Market Trends

Item prices fluctuate based on server progression. Keep an eye on the demand for:

Enhancement Materials: Items like Dragon Material Blueprints or Darksteel often spike in price during server events or when a new level cap opens.

Codex Items: Check which cheap gear pieces are currently in demand for popular Codex stats and list them accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the fastest way for a beginner to get Copper?

Stick strictly to Main Story Quests (Missions) and Request Quests. They provide massive chunks of Copper and EXP that far outpace early-game field grinding. Avoid spending Copper on high-tier crafting until you hit a progression wall.

Should I always auto-hunt in the highest-level map available?

Absolutely not. Survival and kill speed dictate your earnings. Farming level 40 monsters that you can kill instantly is vastly more profitable than struggling against level 50 monsters that take 30 seconds each to defeat and drain your potion reserves.

Where should I spend my hard-earned Gold first?

Invest your Gold back into your character's long-term efficiency. Use it to buy rare materials or skill tomes from the Market that will permanently increase your Combat Power. Higher Combat Power allows you to farm higher-tier zones, effectively speeding up your future Gold and Copper income.

Building a fortune in MIR4 is a marathon, not a sprint. By shifting your focus from "time spent online" to "efficiency per hour," you can easily secure enough Copper for daily upkeep and generate a steady flow of Gold through the Market. Balance your daily missions, optimize your AFK hunting locations, and reinvest your wealth wisely to watch your character's strength skyrocket.
