Fluidsonic: Highlighted that farming in adventure mode is so much simpler

{{editlink float|Template:Farming:ancient_device}}
It's easiest to farm this in '''Adventure Mode'''.

# Restart the game over and over until [[Desolate Sands]] of Act II has the [[Bounty]] "The Ancient Devices".
# Each bounty run allows for activating the device four times!

----

It's much more difficult to collect the ten unique activations in '''Campaign Mode''':

'''1. Set the Checkpoint'''
:#Start quest #8 [[Black Soulstone|The Black Soulstone]] > Realm of Shadow.
:#Teleport to the waypoint [[Archives of Zoltun Kulle]].
:#Head south-west and towards the exit to [[Desolate Sands]].
:#The [[Checkpoint]] is located right before the exit.

'''2. Repeat from the Checkpoint'''
:#Take the exit to [[Desolate Sands]].
:#Head south-east to the end of the bridge.
:#Head straight south to check if the ancient device is located at [[:File:Ancient-device-map.jpg|spawn #1]].
:#If it's not there:
:##Teleport to the waypoint [[Desolate Sands]] using the map.
:##Head a little bit north to check if the ancient device is located at [[:File:Ancient-device-map.jpg|spawn #2]].<br>It's just a very short walk until you see the stairs that lead to the device (if it's there).
:##If it's not there:
:###Use the waypoint and teleport to [[Hidden Camp]]. That teleportation is instant. Don't use the map or a city portal.
:#Leave the game. That's also instant if done from Hidden Camp.
:#Resume the game, go back to the checkpoint and try again.

'''Special Notes:'''
*Don't worry if the waypoint [[Desolate Sands]] is sometimes far away from [[:File:Ancient-device-map.jpg|spawn #2]]. If the ancient device is located at spawn #2 then the waypoint is usually located directly south of it.
*Try to remember how the area around the waypoint [[Desolate Sands]] looks like when the ancient device is there (i.e. at spawn #2), and when it's not there. With a little practice you can tell whether it's there even without having to move away from the waypoint to check for the stairs.
*If you can already see the waypoint on the minimap while checking out spawn #1 then there's likely no ancient device at spawn #2 so you can just skip it and leave the game immediately for the next try.

*The ancient device also appears in Adventure Mode, but you won't be able to use Checkpoints there.
**Note that there is a bounty called "Bounty: The Ancient Devices." It allows you to activate four devices in one run.
